So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

Do you think we might get to Page 7 before the party closes at midnight?
I've tried to import the comments again - let's hope they get through this time.

Time zones - what can you do? Just one of those things.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

It certainly looks possible! Good luck with the comments importing!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And never a Scotty around to beam you over. :)

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Very cool! It is sad that the people don't comment or anything, but good to know that they are enjoying it.

[sammydragoncat]

That's wonderful!

[sammydragoncat]

And yes - I am still at work, but since I have been non stop all week, I decided that I would take a short break and check in on the party before it goes away.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

So, the end of the fun is near, but that's not so bad - we wouldn't be able to keep up much longer, right?
Yes, I think much longer would get too draining - but it is a lot of fun to do once a year :)

And yay card.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Timezones are a pest.

[sammydragoncat]

*hugs* :)

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Breaks are important, and it certainly sounds like you've earned one!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It's very pretty - an origami card, with a star pattern that I teach the children, too, only we make it from tinfoil as Christmas stars.

I'm looking forward to our Christmas card exchange at the beginning of Advent. picowrimo would have run its circle by then, and a different kind of creativity might be welcome.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Amazing, isn't it? I was shocked, in a very positive way.

[sammydragoncat]

It sounds lovely

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And completely unexpected, seeing that it's one of those stories with more chapters than reviews. At least on FF.Net. artemis10002000 used to follow it faithfully over at hiddenrealms, but she got eaten by Real Life (mostly university) a couple of years ago, unfortunately. I miss her, she's such a sweetheart.

It certainly sounds like a lot of fun - and hopefully I'll be able to be move involved in Pico, and then this. It would be very good to get myself doing creative things more regularly.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It's both soothing and fulflling. It shows how stressful this new school year is, if you consider that I've already stitched 30-some cards since late August.

[rcfinch.livejournal.com]

I´d say this is better than a couple of reviews!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

They just love sponge cake!

[rcfinch.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it´s certainly possible. This is comment 21; five more, and we're on page 7.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Especially now that I actually know about it...

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

That is a lot of cards already!

I've been getting out some of my magazines to look for patterns - lots of choices. I'm hoping this helps prod me onto the next stage of finding materials and thread (I have lots, but need to find the right bits) - fun, if I have the energy. :)

DW Importer is still being obnoxious. Drat. We're stuck at 780 comments. Support hasn't reacted yet, either. Will try again tomorrow.

Time travel, that's what we need!
