COMMENTARY!

I am annoyed to relate that I somehow neglected claiming completed prompts for G50 and N38, although three stories resulted from them; and I can’t even recall whether it was because I didn’t write the things on time, or whether I just forgot to claim in my short-term memory of doom..

If B11 or G56 are called, I am going to be rather irked for dropping a couple prompts on the Alt. Viewpoints card (my favorite card!), because that act will have cost me Bingo.  Not that Bingo is the point really, but a lot of others are starting to get them, and it’s kind of like in Metalocalypse when everyone wants a banana sticker…does anyone else watch that show?  Seriously, best show ever.


And–GUYS I COULD’VE HAD BINGO AS WE SPEAK ON THE CROSSOVER1 CARD if I hadn’t dropped a couple prompts from there.  By Angband’s smokes, that’s annoying.

I'm sort of irked at myself for dropping some good prompts too, but then I have to take a step back and remember: "Ooh...just because 48 hours have passed doesn't mean I CAN'T write about [x] ever again..."

Because that would kind of suck if it did.

Exactly. All of my neglected prompts will provide amusement for a long time to come.

And who needs the entirely symbolic ego boost of a Bingo? =D

I feel for you. I wrote all the prompts on the Aragorn card and claimed, but lost a line of text when copy pasting my list from the story to the claim post!
