Valentine's Day "Sugar and Spice" Exchange *Reminder*

[lenna_nightrunner]

Reminder: All Valentine's Day "Sugar and Spice" Exchange contributions are due to Shimmy's e-mail inbox (twist[dot]shimmy[at]gmail[dot]com) no later than 11:59pm in your own time zone this SaturdaySunday, February 13.

If it looks like, due to unforeseen circumstances, you may not be able to meet that deadline, let us know now. It would be very, very sad if you couldn't make it, but it would be very, very sadder if we were expecting something from you and didn't get it. Why would you want to make Dragonmod and Modkitty sad? (Not to mention your exchange partner XD)

After we receive them, the submissions will be posted here anonymously so we can all enjoy them and vote on their awesomeness. Winners will receive shinies courtesy of Shimmy, and everyone will prosper.

We can't wait to see what you've all come up with!

sorry about that, lol. i work in acronym city. IAM = information assurance manager. FOUO = for official use only.

glad to see we have until sunday; i'll need the extra time since they decided to wipe my hard drive just to be safe :( . and not even a normal re-format; they did the overwrite option. gawdddamned wikileaks bastards screwing things up for how the rest of us operate. good thing i have a backup image at home of my os & apps. but i lost my draft and another two chapters of Thanks. ces't la vie. rant complete.

no worries - i WILL have my v-day submission ready by sunday. it just won't be as long, probably. ;)

They wiped your hard drive?! Lemme at 'em! Rrrr, I am outraged on your behalf.

In fact, I am going to backup my files as soon as I get home XD

You might consider using Google Documents or at least keeping copies of your stories on Google Documents. Shimmy and I use gdocs for lots of reasons, but one of the advantages is that we can both access them from anywhere (assuming we have Internet) and they're always saved online. Ideally one has everything both on gdocs and on one's hard drive.

I am still so angry for you! Jerks.

By all means don't stress yourself out about the deadline, but of course we love you and your stuff and want to read it :D

[leilana]

yes, i usually use skydrive (microsoft version of google docs) but that only works if you have an internet connection to back your files up to, lol. at the time, no such luxury. ah, the perils of travelling with the military.

and thanks for the kind words. no stress here, no ma'am. i'm glad to be back in hawaii and have plenty of time to re-work my story over the weekend *\(^.^)/*

Hawaii? I grew up in Hawaii! (ages 3-17) Omgwhatareaareyoufromwheredidyougotoschoolyoulikecruz? ;D

Shimmy lived in Hawaii for a while, too :D

[twist_shimmy]

Shhhh. We don't tell people I'm a dirty mainlander. :D

[leilana]

rotfl'in at you two. i'm actually a mainlander, but not really - cause i'm from alaska ;). been in hawaii for about 7 years. got stationed here when i was still active duty air force, now i'm a dod contractor and loving every minute in paradise. too bad they keep sending me away!

[lenna_nightrunner]

Ah, 7 years. You haven't become jaded about it yet ;)
