You think I'm handling it well? Wow. I feel like I'm handling it like a six-year-old on a sugar rush. :)

I agree. They should definitely keep the authors out of the claims post. In fact, if I participate next year, I'm not going to look at the claims post at all until they post the official pairing results. It'll be better for my sanity. :)

And thank you for the kind words! Even if, somehow, I never get an artist, I'll just pull the fic out of BigBang, edit it, and post it independently.
