Let's Party!
Oct. 9th, 2008 10:37 pmTwo years ago we had great fun with this thing. So, I thought, why not give it another try?
It's called the Collapsed Threads Game, and the goal is to have so many comments that the individual threads would collapse. Deadline is October 9 (next Thursday), which is my 52nd birthday. Yes, I'm actually that old, at least on paper. *g*
Two years ago, we had 250+ comments. I aim to break the record this time. So, talk to me, ask questions, send people my way, have fun - the goal is to reach at least four pages. More were better, but four pages full of collapsed threads would be wonderful, too.
I won't have a birthday party in RL, so let's throw one in cyberspace and have a good time, eh?
Oh, and I'll bounce up the entry date each day till October 9, so that newcomers can join the party, too. The more, the merrier. *g*
Fazit:
Many heartfelt thanks to all those who came to my virtual party: those who generated interesting discussions, those who sent me virtual cake and those who just dropped by to brighten my day. I had great fun, I had inspiring discussions, and we have broken the record - thank you!
Special thanks to
altariel and
the_wild_iris who sent many new, lovely visitors to the party - I hope some of you will drop by from time to time later.
Thanks again, it was great fun... the best party I could have imagined.
Addendum:
And lookie, I got a wonderful birthday ficlet from Larner! Am so pleased! It has been forever since anyone gifted a birthday fic upon me. *is happy*

I did read "The Gathering" and loved it for all the Nietzschean goodness. I think that's Birthright 2, isn't it? I always meant to read the whole series in order, but I fell out of Andromeda fandom. I rotate the fandoms I read all the time, reading one to the exclusion of all others, then getting tired of that and switching to the next one... When Andromeda gets its turn again, I really have to remember to read Birthright.

Date: 2008-10-08 07:00 pm (UTC)Yeah, "The Gathering" is Birthright 2. Birthright 1 is only two chapters long and features exclusively Perseids. It was great fun to play with them. I'm still stuck with Birthright 3 - The Lady of the Lake, so you haven't missed much in any case. Only a coupe of chapters are posted to that one.
