Virtual Birthday Party, Day 01
Oct. 1st, 2013 07:13 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
wiseheartHi folks! *waves" I know I'm late kicking off my virtual birthday party of 2013, but considering that I worked almost 11 hours today, I think I can be forgiven, right?
It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 57 on October 9, so let's party!
Last years virtual birthday party yielded 1328 comments on 6 pages, before LJ crashed the whole thing, and 617 additional ones on 3 pages at the second coming. Which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! WE CAN BREAK THE 2000-COMMENT-BARRIER! Let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!
You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual cake of your choice. If you want to post your favourite recipe in a comment, be my guest. If not, just drop by and say hello.
Cheers!
Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. However, to avoid the same mishap that occurred last year, there will be a separate post for each day until the 9th. We will count all pages and comments together when the party is closed.
Join us and have fun! Feel free to start any thread, any topic you want; we can discuss it, mock the general stupidity of life and laugh at it. I tentatively started two topics, just to begin the fun somehow, but you may add anything you want.

Date: 2013-10-01 05:16 pm (UTC)I've made my birthday present to my friends, Hobbit-style, by updating two stories (see previous entry below). So, tell me which story of mine do you like and why?
(Yes, I know it's shameless. But it's my birthday, right? *makes puppy eyes*)

Date: 2013-10-01 05:53 pm (UTC)Thank you for the PM; I haven't been around on LJ for a while and would have been very sorry to miss the party! It's a time-honoured tradition, after all!

Date: 2013-10-01 06:04 pm (UTC)If you are asking which story in general, then I'd have to chose between the Emissary and the dwarrow-centric story with unpronounceable name, the one where Balin will go to Dwarrodelf.

Date: 2013-10-01 06:15 pm (UTC)And then, I'm planning a story about Helm Hammerhand, Freca and Wulf, in a "History is written by the winners but what's the truth?"-manner. That one's been in the planning for a while by now. And, of course, there is your wonderful idea about Éowyn.... I don't think I'd run out of stories about the Rohirrim for a while.

Now the Men who came from Dor Lomin face more and more problems as they do their darndest to get their kin out. Looks like the Easterlings were not happy to find the Lady of Dor Lomin had left.

Date: 2013-10-01 06:57 pm (UTC)Don't worry about the lack of writing, though, it's never late to restart. (I should know, some of my stories have been on the back burner for a decade or so...)
Oh, and I like your icon. Ice cream is certainly something one should have on days like this.

Date: 2013-10-01 07:00 pm (UTC)You should check out the parties from the previous years, Some of the pics posted in the comments (cakes and stuff) are truly gorgeous.
I invented the virtual party because most of my friends live in other countries, so a real one wouldn't be possible. But we always have lots of fun!
