I have a question about prompt before i start claiming for this one.

In CARD: Games People Play - N33 - Mancala. What is this? Cause i couldn't translate it, and i need help to know about this one.

[dawn_felagund]

Here's the wiki article about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala

I've never heard of it either. :)

[ladybrooke]

This might not be the best place to ask, but over on SWG on my cards page (LadyBrooke) I appear to have two controversial topics cards, and no Crack Pairing 2. Am I seeing things wrong (always a possibility)?

[dawn_felagund]

I'll check the page I have for you in file and fix it if need be. I feel like I might have added Controversial Topics the other day because I could not find it on your player page! Silly me! :D I suppose it was there but, after starting at cards all day, I go sort of card blind! :D

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Followed after a muse stampede, I am happily claiming the following two stamps in combination with n33:

Silmarillion Fanon: N31: Námo Mandos: a kinder, gentler Lord of Death
Feanatics: N31 Did you know.. Fëanor hugged his kids (really, he did!)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Good combination!
Got you stamped. :)

[engarian.livejournal.com]

This will be a bit more challenging, but I think I'll like it. Please give me stamps for:
Art Supplies - Beads and
Feanantics - Feanor Hugged his Kids

Thanks, I should be posting N-33 finished tomorrow, so I'm still right on track.

Realized today while running through my cards that no G numbers have been called yet. How bizarre!

- Erulisse (one L)

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

[independence1776]

Question (seems to the night for them): for the poetic forms card, acrostic was called. But I've found two different definitions online-- one says the poem doesn't need to relate to the word, and the other does. Given the openness of the rules, I'm guessing both or the latter, or up to us whatever definition we'd like to follow. But I thought I'd make sure before claiming.

[dawn_felagund]

Yep, you've got it--whichever one you want to use is fine.

Oshun claim for N31

*eye twitches* We is starting new things before we finishes the old ones, precious... This is making us nervous!

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

Overrun by bingo stamps? LOL. Don't know about crunchy, but my fingers are covered in ink. Stamps done for N31!

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

Grey_wonderer Bingo Card Crossover, N-31 'With a Fairy Tale of Folk Tale'
Well under way and will post later tonight.

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

*jots it down* :)

[havamahal.livejournal.com]

I only have 4 prompts for this one, but I managed to squeeze 3 of them into one fic and finish the thing right away for a change. Yay! ;)

N31

Crack Pairings 2 - Mithrellas/Daeron
First Lines - Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. - Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God
Silmarillion Fanon - Námo Mandos: a kinder, gentler Lord of Death

Now we get to to the hard part - how to resist writing about Fëanor hugging his kids? :/

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Just don't resist, you know you want to!

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

I have a question about the "Create a Playlist" prompt on the Meta card - will a list do, or do we actually have to provide the music? I'm a tad iffy sharing copyrighted material on the community, as I don't want anyone to get into trouble...

[aliana1.livejournal.com]

For sharing music online, I'll either link to the official YouTube video for a song, if there is one, or link to it on Grooveshark (http://grooveshark.com) (streaming only, legal). You can get URLs for individual songs by clicking the little triangle button on a song's icon when it comes up on the playlist. The nice thing about Grooveshark is that if you create a username (free), you can also save whole playlists and link to them, as well. I'm sure just a list of songs would be fine, too. (Mods, please correct me if I'm wrong)

best,
Aliana
*not a mod*
*spends way too much time on Grooveshark*
*author of Meta card, looking forward to your music selections ;)*

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

Hi Dawn. Please stamp:
In a manner of Speaking - ways to skin a cat
Water - clouds
Celebrations - lovers' day
I had to consider the choices for a while. These seem to work together.

*comes back, edits* and also
Silm fanon - Namo, a kinder, gentler Death (or whatever it's called) please. Had a sudden inspiration..

Thank you :)

[dawn_felagund]

Cool--got them noted! :)

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Azalais, Poetic Forms card - have started an acrostic. No idea how I'll finish it, but it's started!

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

Good enough, the rest will come.. Stamp done!

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Dear Santa Dawn,

today I have worked on a Lay of Leithian/Taketori-monogatari crossover and on a new chapter for that weird Palantír story I started back in 2009. Also, Caranthir terrified to young mortals, and Námo is being an ice-cold asshole to poor dear Fëanor. I, on the other hand, think I have been a very good girl. So I would like a stamp on Crossovers 1, Festivals & Celebrations, In a Manner of speaking and Silmarillion Canon each, please.
Thank you!

Lyra

whether or not you can walk with a broken tailbone

Walking is possible. But speaking from personal experience - Ow. (It actually hurts worse to sit than to stand, but walking is not a lot of fun.)

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

Idle Leaves - N31
Finrod card (change of dialect)
Festivals & Celebrations card (Lovers' Day)
Silmarillion Fanon card (a kinder, gentler Lord of Death)

(Yeah, it's a weird ficlet. O.o)

[dawn_felagund]

Hmmm. Yes, that is an interesting combination! :)

Got them noted for you!

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

Nath

[sivanshemesh.livejournal.com]

Horror Card - Darkness, Fog and Shadows (i love it.) + Mirkwood the Great - To War! + Games People Play - Mancala + Hurt/Comfort - Head Cold (Is it like Head ache?) = Hopefully for one lucky long fic... grin.

[grey_gazania]

Head cold is just another term for the common cold. :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

N31
Alternate Viewpoints: Helm's Deep
Poetic Forms: Acrostic

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

N31 stamps in place!

[spiced-wine.livejournal.com]

Two please.

Horror: darkness, Fog and Shadows,

and

Fëanatics: Fëanor hugged his kids. :)

Easy peasy! He's extremely demonstrative and loving and hugs them often. (No, I'm not joking. I have many hug-moments already, one more is nothing!).

Thank-you!

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

That's actually been my problem with this prompt - how to use it in a new way ^^

Stamped!

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Aiyeeee. Elleth here. (Not really angsting, just staring at my fic like Zuko in that icon because it's now growing beyond proportion. It started out as the idea for a single innocent drabble, now it's a doomy sojourn to Himring during the War of Wrath, complete with campfire stories, Maedhros and super-aged cheese, and the wielder of Narsil who is supposed to go fight Shelob hasn't even received the bloody sword yet. Soon. But not yet. x_x)

Feanátics: Feanor hugged his kids
Horror: Darkness, fog and shadows
TVTropes of Tolkien: Royals who actually do something
Waters: Clouds
