Placeholder and backup info

This is mostly a placeholder post to keep the community from being deleted for inactivity, but it's also an announcement that I'm going to make a back-up of it on Dreamwidth to make sure the posts are archived somewhere. If you don't want your posts saved there, let me know and I'll make sure they get deleted.

I don't use Dreamwidth (I'll be setting up a temporary journal so I can save a copy of the community, but my actual journal is staying here on LJ) so if anyone who *is* moving wants to take over the comm on that site, just let me know and I'll figure out how to switch ownership/moderation/whatever it's called :).

Hey, there. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to organize the exchange this year. Things are just a little out of control at the moment.

Obviously, it's too late to do it this year, especially with holiday exchanges just around the corner, but if anyone's interested in my posting the roulette prompts I'd be happy to put a table together and set it so people can post to the comm directly.

Hopefully we can pick things up again next year, but until then let me know if you'd like some additional writing prompts to tickle your VigBean creativity.

Late but not departed

Hey there, VigBean lovers! I'm still here and hoping to have another year of fun with Sean and Viggo. I'm going to work on getting the sign-up post up by the weekend, and right now it looks like the schedule will shift by a couple of weeks from last year (I'm thinking sign-ups will end June 15, with assignments out by June 17; the first drabble/flash fiction deadline July 14; fics due August 18).

I'm sorry for not kicking things off earlier this month, but I hope many of you will want to participate. Look for the sign-up post to be up by Saturday at the latest. :-)

Let's hear it for another great year!

Thanks to all of you, the VigBean writers and readers, to everyone who loves the pairing, this has been another fantastic year. So many wonderful stories to enjoy, the variety just completely out of this world. I had a blast and I hope all of you did as well. And there are more comments being left on all the stories, so writers may want to go back and have a look.

Authors, you may now post your stories (roulette round two and exchange) to your journals and other comms if you wish. I will be sending each of you a participant banner (made by the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] stormatdusk) in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for that.

Thanks again! And I'm already looking forward to next year. :-)

2011 Fic Exchange

Well, I tried to standardize headers and strip out any info that could identify authors ... and then I forgot to remove the author and beta lines. I should have known I'd have a lapse in brain function today. On the plus side, I've been thinking about having everyone post their stories themselves next year so I guess this can be seen as an intermediate step? :-) I am sorry, though, for everyone who was looking forward to guessing who wrote which fic.

Authors, I'll go in later today and edit your headers with your own disclaimers and notes, but for now if anything looks to be coded incorrectly, give me a shout and I'll fix it ASAP. And mystery writers or no, I hope everyone enjoys the stories. It's another year with a huge variety of styles and genres, truly something for everyone.

Roulette Round Two

Authors, please wait to post elsewhere until next Friday (August 5). Everyone, please enjoy today's VigBean delights, and make sure to stop by on Sunday for the remainder of our feast. (And yes, I'm done with the food stuff. This is what happens when the mod's brain is filled to capacity. *g*)
