Since I'm doing "Reviews", does this mean the story has to be illustrated? Just checking.

[dawn_felagund]

Yes, the story should have some kind of artwork in it. Both the SWG and MPTT have many pieces that do; I'm not as sure about other sites (since many sites disable the img tag).

Claim: Aspects of Aragorn - O72 - Captain & Games People Play - O72 - Drinking - One story.

Horror - O72 : Thuringwethil and other vampires - New fic.

Cause of Death O72: Shock, new fic

[febobe.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, seven delicious new prompts to set my imagination aflame...Rhapsody, sweetie, better gear up that stamping hand! :D

Squeefully,
Febobe :)

[febobe.livejournal.com]

Febobe, O72, Diners' Club (bacon) and Food (vegetables) - whacked 'em both out in a single ficlet! Will try and post it here shortly; I'm very happy with it. :)

*passes around a dish of broccoli salad with crispy bacon*

[dawn_felagund]

I had a good chuckle over today's prompt, as you're always rewarding Rhapsody with bacon. ;)

Zeen - O72 - Genres Card - Coming of Age

I wrote a drabble and a bit. It's too long to be a drabble, too short to be a double drabble, I wonder if that sort of thing has an official name?

Nevermind! I wrote a drabble about Elrond & Elros, putting Maglor on the spot.

[silver-trails.livejournal.com]

Silver Trails
Card: Maglor in History
O72: Mongol Invasion

I started a drabble.

[naurring.livejournal.com]

Naurring - o72
Arwen/Theodred - Crack pairings I
Thuringwethil and other vampires - Horror

[dawn_felagund]

I have you noted for the text pages! :) (Which are up, btw: http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/b2mem2012/players/text.php)

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Cairistiona:

Economy (real estate)
Occupations (cook)
Roles & Names of Aragorn (healer)

- started a short story

*jots them down to stamp*

[havamahal.livejournal.com]

I'll be eternally grateful to the person, who made the 'Review a Story' card. This will encourage me to *finally* review all my favourite stories from the past. One of them is without a doubt Spiced Wine's Lords of the Light (which has a very lovely banner in it). I think that counts as artwork?

O72 - Review a Story - … that includes artwork

[dawn_felagund]

Yep, digital art counts as well! :) The Review a Story card was my creation--I'm really glad you like it! I always here that people have trouble finding time to review, so I thought it'd be a good opportunity for those of us who regret that fact to do something about it. :)

Oshun's stuff for o72

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Women of Arda - Elanor Gamgee - an icon
(http://pics.livejournal.com/heartofoshun/pic/00363g6t/)

Economy - Real Estate - a graphic (http://heartofoshun.livejournal.com/402260.html)

Others started:

Controversial Topics - Do Balrogs have wings? started research on a shortish canon essay on the subject.

Feanatics - Fëanor: saviour of Middle-earth - also pulled together canon facts for a crack!essay on the subject. (We have crack!fic, why not crack!non-fic?)

Zdenka

[zdenka]

I would like to claim another card: Aspects of Aragorn. Is this the right place to do it?

*sheepish*

[zhie.livejournal.com]

If you're claiming more cards, you can go back to the original claim page to do it...

http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/b2mem2012/claim.php

(did you know there's no limit? it's amazing...) *goes to claim more*

[dwimordene-2011.livejournal.com]

I've started a story that should incorporate:
Aspects of Aragorn: Captain
Deep Thoughts: we
Economy: Real Estate
Genre 1: Coming of Age
March, 3019: March 8: The Dead Receive their Summons

*weeps with laughter* Oh, BRILLIANT!

Have noted, will stamp! Sweet dreams. :)

Can I, for now, just make a quick request - namely, that the "Yesterday's number..." pic comes with a link? Because so many people post their responses to this community, it takes a hell of a lot of backclicking just to find the old number entry. A handy link (possibly on the two pics on the SWG site, too, because ATM the link there just leads to this community, dozens of fics - which are great, of course! Just a bit of a hassle to file through if you need to visit the number entry more than once!) would be such a lifesaver!

[dawn_felagund]

I'll change the link on the website to the 2012:bingo number tag. I have it set up so I don't have to make updates to the SWG and MPTT sites; the image updates automatically. That's why there's no direct link. But I agree that it's rather hard to sift through all the entries being posted. :) I'll make that change tonight.

[jay-of-lasgalen.livejournal.com]

Claimed: O72 - Review a Story: That includes artwork. I left a review (and now want to read more!)

[dawn_felagund]

And I've noted you for a stamp for that card! :)

[spiced-wine.livejournal.com]

Deep Thoughts: We

Off the Map's Edge: The Balrogs.

Fëanatics: Fëanor: saviour of Middle-earth.

Started writing these three into a current WIP.

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Have noted, will stamp!

[marta-bee.livejournal.com]

I have a complete draft of a ficlet meeting the following prompts:

"we" (#O-72 on Deep Thoughts)
"Feanor: savior of Middle-earth" (#O-72 on Feanatics)
"Elanor Gamgee" (#O-72 on Women of Arda)

My author name is Marta.

Btw, Dawn: do you know when my Bingo cards will be updated and/or stamped? It's still showing the deep thoughts and canon couples cards for me. I only ask because it would be easier to find my prompts if all my cards were listed in one place.

[dawn_felagund]

I will likely be updating player pages this weekend. There was a soft deadline for new card requests last weekend (meaning that I asked that new requests come in by the end of the weekend if players wanted them to show up for the first day of the challenge) that actually ended up being extended until Tuesday morning. Due to other obligations running the challenge, the unfortunate reality for cards requested after that point is that they're rather low on my to-do list. :) Putting together the player pages is rather labor-intensive. But I'm going to do my best to get them done this weekend.

I will check in with the person doing your stamps and add them this evening if needed. :)

[naurring.livejournal.com]

I wrote a new chapter for a WIP using the following o72 prompts:

Cape - Out of the Sea
Fëanor: saviour of Middle-earth - Feanatics
Shock - Cause of Death

Zdenka

[zdenka]

O72. Cause of Death: Shock

(I wrote a drabble combining this prompt with one of yesterday's.)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Ok!
Your cards should become visible after this weekend. :)

[engarian.livejournal.com]

Rhapsody -
I am working on stories for O-72 on the following cards:
Feanantics - Feanor: Savior of Middle Earth and
Maglor in History - Mongol Invasion

They should be posted no later than Sunday morning.

- Erulisse (one L)
(all of my I-18 items are complete now)

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Coolness! I am really curious what you're going to do with Maglor and that prompt. :) And go you! *throws in another

[febobe.livejournal.com]

Febobe, O72, Cause of Death, Shock! :)

Done, will post momentarily.

*offers Rhapsody green beans and broccoli salad and roast with taters and carrots and buttery rolls*

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

At this rate I won't have to cook dinner LOL

[febobe.livejournal.com]

Febobe, O72, Hurt/Comfort, Chicken Pox! :)

*sends Rhapsody homemade vegetable soup*

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Oooh my daughter loves that kind of soup!

[arwen75]

Well as I didn't finish the Aragorn ficlet I started yesterday (I hate work) it has expanded today to cover O72 captain on Aspects of Aragorn. Might get posted tomorrow depending on what my husband decides to make me do over the weekend.

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

Done!

[dolamrothdame.livejournal.com]

O72-AU card-Arwen dies during the War. No title yet, but I'm over 2000 words and going strong.

[dawn_felagund]

Isabeau, I'm your stamper, and I've noted this one for you! :) I'll probably be adding stamps in the evenings (EST) so cards will be updated then.
