A funny thing happened on the way to the Reverse Big Bang claims

[dephigravity]

Okay, so not really funny, but holy shit was last night madness or what? It was like Black Friday all over again! I swear, I got the notification, clicked on it and there were already PAGES of claims flooding in. IT WAS INSANE!!!

And I am massively humbled and super excited that my one piece was actually the second prompt to be claimed. SERIOUSLY, how cool is that? I was so nervously leading up to the claims and then so excited I couldn't even sleep-- even though I had to be up at 5 (claims opened at 1 am my time) which made me absolutely delightful at work, I'm sure. :P

And I couldn't be more happy with my author!!! aythia is so good at all the genres that my prompt entailed. Schmoopy High School Boys with a the SEXY TIEMS! I can't wait to start hearing her ideas! SO EXCITE!

For those that wanna see my prompt, it was 2010. I think I may still tinker with it a bit, and I won't officially post it to my journal until our posting date, but there be a sneak peek for ya!

*\o/* J2 CHEERLEADERS!!! *\o/*

So, for those of you doing RBB, both artists and authors: how do you feel about you claims/ authors? Are you as excited as I am? Flabbergasted by who you chose/ who chose you? Readers/ art connoisseurs: What are you most looking forward to? I know, the reveal isn't officially up yet, but I WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING!

I'm still not done with my epic fangirling :D

*___* SERIOUSLY HEART-EYED AT YOUR PROMPT TBH.

Ah ha! I thought that was you! Beautiful prompt, vibrant and colorful and oh goodness their hands.

Claims were bonkers, huh? Like Black Friday indeed! So fast. I claimed seconds after the post went up and still wound up being something like the fortieth comment. A lovely reminder of why I love my fandom. My prompt has put me in the mood for writing some schmoopy porny cuddle!fic that will be very indulgent and rather fun to write.

Congrats to you and your author!

Congratulations on being awesome!

I got my first choice (1075!) and am emailing the artist right this very minute! Last year I got a beautiful beautiful art prompt on the second round of claiming, so this time the speed at which people commented made my head spin.

I saw your art there! \0/ Hehe I got my first choice which is a gen fic which I've been wanting to start writing gen again and an awesome artist \0/

[akintay.livejournal.com]

That's actually one of my favorite pieces out of all the submissions! I can't wait for the fic to accompany it now :D :D :D

[jaimeykay.livejournal.com]

Aw, I saw that one! I had a thought it was you :) It's beyond adorable and I love it!

I'm super stoked, it was really fun to be on the other end. :D

I don't think male cheerleaders use pom poms, hon. I'll have to research, but I think they pretty much get the megaphones. :( I will have to watch HOURS of guy cheerleaders just to see. OH THE HORROR! *readies the objectification*

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Um, shouldn't this be fanboying in your case? Unless there is something you wanna tell the class? 0:)

BUT OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! You are gonna have a great fic!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! I can't wait to see what aythia has in mind so that I can do some more!

[expectative.livejournal.com]

IF JARED CAN BE FANGIRLING OVER SOMETHING THEN SO CAN I.

I talked a little bit to sonofabiscuit77 and I'm even more excited than I was yesterday

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

lol I think I'm finally developing a style, which i think is a good thing? :) I'm glad you liked it, thanks!

I can't believe it!!! I know that there's a rush for the main BB and other prompt claiming challenges, but this was just. O_O Which one did you end up claiming?

BTW I am just about done reading your BB and will leave you a comment the second I'm done! :D

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

*pets you* Jared is a sweet boy, but just doesn't understand the vernacular.

Yay! *cues dolphin noises in your honor*

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks. *bows*

Oh, I really like that one's style! I love the skull, especially. I'm curious as to what you will do with it!

[expectative.livejournal.com]

Don't be so condescending with my poor bb, thank you very much.

And fyi, dolphin noises=fangirling :p

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Woo! Congrats on getting your first choice! It was a hard thing to accomplish this round, it seems. Can't wait to see what you do. \o/

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

I wasn't being condescending to him, just pointing out his lack of fandom terminology understanding. :P

dolphin noises= fan boying when from a dude. I was a tenor, I can get up there pretty high myself. ;)

[expectative.livejournal.com]

I'll never have the last word will I? :p

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Aw, you are too sweet. Thank you! IKR? I want it NOW!!!! :D

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

No, not really. But perhaps I will let you have other things if you follow that rule. ;)

[expectative.livejournal.com]

that rule being...?

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm happy you thought so!

Which one did you end up choosing? It was freaking nerve wracking! I feel bad for the people that kept having to make back up claims after back up claims, that's dedication right thar!

Also, ICON LOVE!

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

"I'll (you'll) never have the last word will I?" Of course.

[expectative.livejournal.com]

These other things you talked about better be good, that's all I'm saying.
