So, like the flake that I usually am, I completely forgot to pimp this in my own lj. But! Here goes, you guys:

One last day left to sign up for hearts_and_guts!


Yup, there's still time... but sign-ups close tomorrow at midnight. Now I KNOW there's at least one or two of you dudes on my f'list who'd love to participate. Here's your chance, guys. It's gonna be a heck of a lot of fun; so, go sign up while you still can!

</shameless pimping>

If anybody's paying attention, you might have noticed that the Back to Klok masterlist of fic and art was scheduled to go up over a week ago, and that sort of never happened.  I apologize.  The truth is, time got away from me and I ended up pretty behind on BTK stuff toward the end, and now it's time for the new round of hearts_and_guts.

Unfortunately, what this means is that I'm going to have to put Back to Klok on the backburner for a bit, and focus on time-sensitive H&G stuff.  I'm sure nobody is waiting for this masterlist with bated breath or anything, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal... still, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and for not being able to stick to my word on this one.  All I can tell you is: life happens.  But please know that I will still get it up, as soon as I'm able.

Those who still have outstanding Back to Klok claims, do feel free to look at this as an extra chance to get your stuff in and have it be included on the masterlist. ;)



...In the mean time, I hope you guys will all join JediPirate and me for Round III of Hearts and Guts! \o/

Okay, I feel kind of sad and pathetic about this, but here it is: Back to Klok still has a lot more prompts to be claimed... and there are a few specific people I would really like to make aware of this ficathon, in hopes that they may consider participating.

The thing is, most of them I either don't know or barely know.  So I have no greater advantage over anyone else.  Now me, while I am quite shy IRL, I have no problem talking to someone I've barely met online as long as I have an excuse (e.g. finding out whether they'd like to participate in something).  Why I haven't done this yet is simply that I haven't had time.  So I am going to do the desperate thing and beg you guys for your help.

If anyone would like to BE MY HERO and lend a hand getting the word out, please comment here and I'll tell you who all I'd like to nudge about this thing.  I'm not going to offer bribes, because that would be a little too pitiful... but just know that you will WIN MY ETERNAL GRATITUDE.

The End.

For anyone paying attention:

Back to Klok is now open for prompt claiming! \o/

You can go HERE to check out the prompts, or over HERE to snag a keyword instead (for those who'd rather write/draw their own idea).  If you don't know what Back to Klok is yet, all the info is over yonder.


And I could still use your help spreading the word!  In fact, anyone who is cool enough to post a BTK banner in their own journal (or a relevant community) and encourage others to come claim something will OFFICIALLY WIN THE INTERNET.  Yup.

Okay, I know there are Metalocalypse people on my f'list.  C'mon, dudes, lend a hand...

Help me pimp this!


I even made new banners, but nobody's using them.  So far, the_ginga is the only person (that I know of) who's bothered to post a link in her lj.  You guys are making me have a sad face. :(

Guys, first of all... I am not dead, despite evidence to the contrary.  And to prove it, I've got something here for all you MTL folks — a ficathon!  As for the rest of my f'list: I'll have something for you guys, soon, too.  I promise.

Has the end of summer got you down? Well, there's one thing to look forward to: new Metalocalypse! So don't despair, come and celebrate the return of Season 3.  It's... The Back to School Dethklok Mini Rareathon information  |  submit a prompt  |  claim a prompt

Seen the flashy banners?  Wondering what this thing is all about?
Well, here's the skinny...


What is it?
It's a ficathon.  A fic and art fest, where traditionally people submit prompts, then other people claim them (like a kink meme, but a little more formal).  And at the end a masterlist will go up, to preserve the results for future generations to enjoy.

But this fest has a twist: it's a rareathon!  That means it's all about rarepairs; so if you've never tried writing/drawing one before, here's your chance. ;)

( More info...Collapse )


Okay, this sounds fun.  How do I play?
You can either submit a prompt, or claim one... or both!  ( Here's how.Collapse )

But why can't I just use my own idea?
You can.  I do hope you'll check out the prompts first; but if you don't find one you like, or if we simply run out of them, then you can go HERE and choose from a list of keywords instead.  That way the plot and pairing are up to you.

( A few rules...Collapse )


I want to help spread the joy of Back to Klok!  What can I do?
You can tell all your friends and neighbors to haul ass down here and claim some prompts!  Try doing it with one of these spiffy banners:
