I may have yelped happily when the Yuletide site cracked a thousand.

Aaaaaand then a minute later it went down to three. Aw, poor website. Heh.

Oh noes, we broke it again^^

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

We're so mean to that website. I'm surprised it doesn't drink more often.

[suaine.livejournal.com]

I am amazed every year that Elyn and Astolat pull this shit off. I don't think they are mere humans.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I don't think I'd be SANE after this if I were them.

[suaine.livejournal.com]

They are too awesome for words. Mere songs of worship do not do them justice!

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I miiiiiiiiiiiiiiight have been 1000?

Because it was 998 when I clicked on the site to upload.

And then when I went to see what number I was, it said only 1 story.

*sigh*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Nah, I had it when it hit 1000 and it was brynwulf.

She did it! She broke it! It's all HER fault.

*snickers*

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

Oh good, not my fault!

I just hope my story is still there. I have the link. *crosses fingers*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it should be. The stories don't seem to be affected when this happens. Of course, the counter still hasn't changed in the last ten minutes. I think it's frozen for right now.

Dude, Elyn and Astolat deserve kegs after putting up with all this, I swear to God.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

They really, really do.

And there are still, what? 500 or 600 stories that need to be posted? OY.

Of course, I can't talk since I am made of fail this year and waited until the last day.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Six hundred now. (Counter fixed!) I know Elyn said something on the pinch hit list that there should be something like 120 or so going out this year, considering previous years. So figure something like four hundred in the next few hours.

I just ... I can't even imagine running this shit.

Of course, I can't talk since I am made of fail this year and waited until the last day.

Heh. Oh, we've all had that year. Sometimes that year is EVERY year. ;)

[slippery-fish.livejournal.com]

Soon the poor thing will need therapy.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The counter hasn't moved in ten minutes.

I think we sent it into a coma.

[thelana.livejournal.com]

*cries*

I hadn't uploaded mine yet :(

I'm checking the yultide and yuletide_admin comms here on livejournal :(

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Phew, it's back!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Yeah, they're pretty good about that. :)

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Random: ZOMG, you watch The IT Crowd (just how awesome was the facebook parody? And "The Elders of the Internet" who live on to of Big Ben?)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not done watching yet! I've only seen bits and pieces so far. Right now it's next on my list of fandoms to get into, since I know exactly where I can find it.

I couldn't resist the icon, though. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's fine now. It did this before the other day. Actually, the counter does that every year. Don't worry about it.

Now if you click on the link for the website and nothing shows up, THEN you have a problem. :)

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Is it done now? I mean, do I get some sort of confirmation email or something like that?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You've got the link for your fic, right? 'Cause as long as you've got that, you're golden.

[thelana.livejournal.com]

Yay me! And now I will bury my head in the sand and never ever look at my story again out of shame. Me + writing = just not meat to be.

(though masochistially I am on the pinch hitter list; mostly because I'm curious if either my request or any of my fandoms will show up)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee. I feel that way every year after I finish -- like, OH NOES NEVER AGAIN -- and then the pinch hits and stocking stuffers roll around and I end up doing nothing else until the reveal. :)

The good thing about the stocking stuffers is that there's no specific length like there is with the assignments, so they're fun to poke around in and write drabbles and stuff when the mood strikes. I kill a lot of time on Christmas Eve writing 'em.

*bounces*

*waits for massive deluge on pinch hit list*

*bounces some more*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA, I'm terrified of the massive deluge. In a good way, but STILL.

This comment is about nothing.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Except. Who are those boys in your icon? I've been watching them for the past ten minutes and can't figure it out, but they're amusing me greatly.

Re: This comment is about nothing.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

They're the two guys from The IT Crowd. I keep meaning to watch it. The same girl who makes the NMTB I bum made that one, too, and I couldn't resist. :)

Re: This comment is about nothing.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Oooh. *is intrigued* I will have to check them out, because I highly approve of boys kissing each other.

Re: This comment is about nothing.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes. \o/

You HAVE watched Christian/Oliver and Shelter, yes? Lots of boykissing to be had ... ;)
