Hey there!

[vbmods.livejournal.com]

Remember that old Heinz ketchup ad, anticipation? I hate to do it to you but once we get our last story in we'll be ready to enjoy all the wonderful VigBean tales. It won't be long now. :-)

The fic exchange stories should be up tonight along with the next set of roulette fics. If you haven't finished your roulette stories, no worries. Just send them in when you're finished and I'll post them right away. I'm just excited to see what you came up with whenever they're completed. I intend to write a couple myself so I'm right there with you.

One note about the fic exchange headers: I've greyed out all the warnings (except for one story where it was there for the joke) even those for fluff or domestic. I know technically that wasn't necessary, but I started feeling like I was making a judgment call about what was included in certain fics and I didn't like that. So everyone has greyed out warnings and people will have to highlight the box to see them. I hope that works for all of you. It seemed like a good compromise at the time.

While the roulette names will be public, the fic exchange authors are hidden. Names will be revealed in a week (July 27) at which time everyone (roulette and fic exchange writers) are free to post in their own journals and other comms.

Here's a list of the 2009 fic exchange participants. Thanks to all of you for your creativity and patience. *hugs*
