So, it is party time again, folks!

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!

espresso_addict asked about the previous record: it was in 2012, with 1328 comments, on 6 pages. Then LJ decided to crash our party, and we tried to reconstruct it, reposting the comments still in our inboxes. The reconstructed party then had two separate entries, one with 765 comments on 7 pages and one with 617 comments on 3 pages. But that was partly a forced thing, to show that we can boast the numbers. I much prefer this year's party with the lively discussions.

In 2011, we had 943 comments on 7 pages. In 2010, it was 742 comments, on 6 pages. In the earlier years, it was even less, despite that we had twice as many party guests. This year's party is fantastic!

This year just seems to be zooming along in conversations :)
