And we're off...

The viewing window
IS OPEN

EDIT
All but one story is now posted- we're waiting on a late entry, that should be up on Friday.  Feel free to comment all you want on the stories (please do comment, in fact!  everyone loves comments!)- but don't give away the authors identities yet.  Start thinking about your favorite sugar and spice since voting will open by the weekend.

We're still waiting on a few entries, mine isn't even beta'd, and my coffee isn't done yet... but due to popular demand, thedas_ficarchive  is now open for your reading pleasure.

Voting will likely begin this Friday and stretch through the following weekend, more details to follow when I am fully awake.



Master list here

Comments

[ouyangdan]

Hey you fabulous ladies! I think there is at least one missing from the master list (I found it where they are posted individually, but it isn't showing up on the master list page).

These are all fantastic! 8D

[amhran_comhrac]

Which one?

[ouyangdan]

Doh!

Sorry!

"Recruitment". I think something went wonky with it, because the end cut off and then part of it repeats (yes I've already read them all auuggghh what is wrong with me?).

I should not internet late at night. Ha.

[amhran_comhrac]

Huh. It looked ok last night. I'll fix it on my lunch break. :/
Thanks for letting me know!!

[ouyangdan]

No worries! DW's coding randomly gives me fussiness too!

Have a good day!

[amhran_comhrac]

Fixed!
If you (or anyone else) spot anything funky please let me know.

Cross-posted from the archive, so that hopefully you'll answer it everywhere in case other peeps have the same question.

First of all *BIG HUGS* for putting so much work in, you lovely pair.

Secondly, are we allowed to comment on the stories? I know we did last year, but the whole thing was handled slightly differently then, so I thought I'd better check.

Have some more *HUGS*. One can never have too many, right?

[amhran_comhrac]

Comment all you want! Please comment! I want people to comment! :D
And *hugs* right back at you!

[lenna_nightrunner]

HUGS. Amhran did the bulk of the work. <3 Amhran!

And a note about commenting: Like Amhran said, comment all you want now and during voting, but be sure not to respond to comments on your own fic right now so you don't give yourself away! :)

[scarylady]

I knew that! :X *makes muffled noises*

[lenna_nightrunner]

I figured, but I'm paranoid that someone's going to screw up in their exuberance to respond to comments :D (Hell, I'd probably have done it by accident if I were eligible for voting >.>)

[scarylady]

If we were really keen we could comment anonymously though, couldn't we? Or is that locked?

[lenna_nightrunner]

I... don't know, actually XD You could certainly try! If it's locked, then I'd suggest saving your replies and then posting them as soon as voting's over.

[amhran_comhrac]

I opened anon comments. They'll be screened since we're a paranoid bunch, but I or another mod will go through and unscreen at least once or twice a day, probably more.

[scarylady]

OK, I've just read through them all, and the Trackless Path has been filed under spice when it's definitely sugar. I was looking for the rest of it when I realised!

EDIT: Listed under spice, I should say. It's tagged as sugar.

[scarylady]

Is it just me who feels they're in a practically comment-less wasteland :(

It's awfully quiet on there. D'you think they're all just silently beavering away at reading?

[kelcat]

I'm workin' through them, though I have to save the spicey ones for after I get off work ;D

[amhran_comhrac]

Yes, this. And technically I should be saving *all* of them for my lunch, but...

[amhran_comhrac]

silently beavering away...
*snerf*
*snicker*

I... I am just going to assume that means something very different on the other side of the pond.
OR MAYBE NOT. :D

Although I have never seen that used as a verb... it works.

[scarylady]

You big kid XD

Beavers work hard! They built dams and everythin'!

[amhran_comhrac]

They are tough. I have heard they can really take a pounding…

[scarylady]

Aaaargh! Go read fics! No more jokes!

[lenna_nightrunner]

Haven't had a chance to read more than Amhran's and the one for me yet, but I promise I'm going to read and comment on them all! <3

[amhran_comhrac]

I have read them all and just... GODDAMN. We are a talented bunch of people here. I found myself absolutely loving stories about pairings I normally hate, that is how good these fics are. It's amazing.

And I think we all know how I feel about the art. Which is my desktop background right now.

This is not going to be an easy vote for anyone.
