The BINGO Number for March 7 Is ...--CLOSED

[dawn_felagund]

This post is now closed. We are no longer accepting stamp requests for B10.

Yes, I am withholding today's number for the moment in a transparent attempt at suspense and to request a moment's attention from participants. :) Then back to Back to Middle-earth Madness! :)

Who thinks the B2MeM stampers are doing a fabulous job? I certainly do--so I would like to declare today Love Your Stampers Day! As part of Love Your Stampers Day, I'd like to offer some gentle reminders of how to make your stampers' considerable task just a teensy bit easier. Because--with almost 90 participants this year and OMG-I-don't-even-want-to-hazard-a-guess number of cards to manage--the stampers certainly appreciate every effort to keep their jobs as painless as possible.

• Unless your LJ handle is exactly the same as the name you're using for B2MeM, don't forget your name on your comment. Yes, we can figure out that Lady Dawn and Dawn Felagund are the same person, but when skimming dozens of comments for her assigned players, it becomes very easy for a stamper to overlook a name that doesn't fall into the range of alphabet she's been assigned.


• Please list the names of the cards that you need stamped. If you want to include the prompts as well, you certainly can, but we don't need this information. Just your name and the names of the cards you need stamped.


• If you're requesting stamps for two different numbers, please comment on both posts with the respective stamps that you need. So if you wrote a story including prompts for both O68 and O67, kindly put your requests for the O68 stamps on the O68 post, and your request for the O67 stamps on the O67 post.

A huge thank you to the B2MeM volunteers who have made this first week a success! olorime001 was my hero of the past weekend after collecting and organizing stamp requests for me after one of our stampers required an emergency fill-in. Authors M-P have her to thank for getting your stamps done as quickly as possible! indy1996 and lignota have been taming chaos in the tagging department, and angelica_ramses keeps order on our intimidatingly massive master list of card requests. And, finally, our stampers rhapsody11, nelyo_russandol, and oloriel have juggled hundreds of cards and many more stamps with incredible grace. Thank you all!

Now your BINGO number ... :)



Once you make a significant start on a prompt or prompts for today's number, please leave a comment on this post. Include your author name (if it is different from the name listed for you on the B2MeM site) and the names of any cards for which you've completed prompts. If you've publicly posted a piece and would like to share a link so that others may enjoy your work, please feel free to do so.

If for some reason you cannot access LiveJournal or leave comments, please email the required information to moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org.

Comments on this post will close in 48 hours, at roughly midnight GMT on March 8. You must leave a comment or email us before comments close in order to receive your stamps.

The gardeners posted. This story covers:

B10: Femslash: Melian and her descendants
First lines: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I know that Oloriel has been remarkably patient with me and very encouraging through this first week of B2MeM.

Oloriel, I'd make it a real one if I ever could meet you face to face, but a virtual one will have to do!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} (I'd do it in a huger font if the comments would allow it)

Thank you so much for being such a good sport about my spamming you with worked prompts.

Forgot whether I said this yet, but...Febobe, B10, Aspects of Aragorn (I think), Sellsword.

Got a start on it, at least.

[marta-bee.livejournal.com]

I've written Maglor at Arwen's wedding, for the Feanatics theme "unjust exile." Stamp, please!

[dawn_felagund]

That first one is a scary thought ... though when I consider the mess the actual Valar made, I think I might be able to do a bit better. ;)

[dawn_felagund]

Congrats for pulling it off! :) That does sound like a tough combination! I've noted the stamps you need. :)

Dawn: you are an amazing woman for running this whole thing and a wonderful stamper! (Especially as you update both the text and the image!) Thank you so much! :D

Currently working on the fourth chapter of that crossover using:

Colors- sky blue
Textures- smooth

(Also, there's a mistake on the image version of Crackfic-- o67 is stamped instead of o68.)

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

Hi Aliana, you've got your new stamps. ;o)

Thank you so much!

Any time Huinare!
