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

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! [livejournal.com profile] 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! [livejournal.com profile] indy1996 and [livejournal.com profile] lignota have been taming chaos in the tagging department, and [livejournal.com profile] angelica_ramses keeps order on our intimidatingly massive master list of card requests. And, finally, our stampers [livejournal.com profile] rhapsody11, [livejournal.com profile] nelyo_russandol, and [livejournal.com profile] oloriel have juggled hundreds of cards and many more stamps with incredible grace. Thank you all!

Now your BINGO number ... :)

Hey, you're doing it in one nice easily copy-able list. It'd be harder if you made rambly disjointed posts like I do - as it is, ever since I've sorted your cards alphabetically, it's no strain on my patience at all! :)

*hugs you back, though, because hugs are always good!*
You're very welcome!

Ah, so you're my stamper, then? :D Welcome! And thanks a lot for stamping! :)

We're having fun too! It's great to see everyone so energized and creative.

Good! In my case, I was feeling alienated and just general non-participatory. Combo of volunteering and writing has worked wonders for that.

Of course! And honestly, I wouldn't have noticed because I don't normally check that page. I just wanted to see at a glance (rather than the calculating the text cards require) if I was getting close to a bingo.

My cards for Weather and Landscape still haven't been stamped, although a later prompt ((N41) has been. Just checking!
