Welcome back. :-) And good luck. I'll do what I can to pimp, post fills, and generally make happy mischief.

Thank you so much! ♥ I am utterly TERRIBLE at pimping things, so all help is quite welcome!

(and I might just poke that Masamune/Yukimura prompt of yours :3c)

Hi there. For how long is this challenge open? And the profile page says the current challenge is the March one.

I'm so sorry. I read the March one and that didn't have any deadlines mentioned. I just saw that the August one does have a deadline.

Ahhhh. Whoops. It totally slipped my mind to change the profile...thank you for letting me know!

As for the March deadline (or, heh, lack thereof) - I kept on extending it to get more participants. I believe it ended at the end of April. Not the usual timeline at all, so I'm sorry for the confusion!

I don't see a note anywhere, but is this Japanese-originated fandoms only? What's the stance on RPF?

This actually looks like fun, so. :D

RPF is fine, American fandoms are fine, Japanese fandoms are fine, Chinese fandoms are fine, things that aren't generally fandoms are fine...go wild. :D (It's actually in the instructions, just not too terribly noticeable if you only skim - I'm trying to figure out how to break the instructions down into something that isn't complete tl;dr. XD)

Ah, here it is - Any fandom is welcome, or for that matter things that aren't usually considered fandoms (historical figures, mythology, whatever you want - go for it! So yeah, anything.

Feel free to join in, we can always use more people! ♥

Also, that sparklepeen icon? Is AWESOME.

Ahhh, thanks! I totally read all the instructions, but like you said, kinda simming amongst everything else. :D

Thanks! I find it's actually great for starting conversations, because for some reason no one ever expects sparklepeen. xD

Yeah, there's SO much tl;dr. *heh* I'm really not sure how to break it up!

*cackles* Sparklepeen is the Spanish Inquisition?

Sparklepeen makes people stop, lol, and then ask, "Where did you get that?" It's kinda epic, and I admit I love it. xD

It is epic indeed. XD I wish I had something half as epic.

It's okay, and thanks. :)

Have you considered posting to

fandomcalendar to promote the challenge?

No problem, I'm here to help. :D

I haven't, actually! I'm not a member of any fandom communities. (Yeah - I know - running a challenge like this and yet I'm not active in any sort of fandom anything... *sweatdrop*) If you'd like to though, that is certainly allowed!

Lol, I'm not active in the fandom either. I have posted about the challenge to

fandomcalendar and the entry is here. I C&P'ed most of the info from your post. If you want me to change or add any other info, please let me know. :)

You should check out

fandomcalendar, if you haven't already. It's a great place for promoting all fandom events. Anyone can post to the community. :)

That post looks great. ♥ Can't think of anything offhand you'd need to add or change.

Hmm...I'll give it a look when I have some time, then. :D I've really got to quit being a derp about fandom!

(Hmm. I didn't know about that community. *subscribes* But now I do. Thank you!)

You're welcome.

On a slightly different note:

That deadline sure is coming up fast. Maybe it ought to be extended a bit?

Not a problem, I was pondering letting it go till the end of the month myself - I'll put in an extension right away!

:-\ We might have to extend it again, looks like. We've got a fine tree, but it needs fills. ~~Goodness knows I need to sling a few in there.~~

Yeah, looks like (and also looks like I'm not going to get your fill done. >_< I am SO, so sorry.) I was considering a second extension anyway, since we'll be closed up for NaNoWriMo and I don't want to leave the tree closed up for so long I forget about it!

No need for apologies. :-) This time of year is so thick with bingos and challenges that it's almost impossible to hit 'em all. In any case, thanks for the extension. :-D

Well, that explains a lot! I'm not terribly active in challenges (the most I do is run this, and do a personal Fic or Treat challenge every year), so I had no idea this time of year was so busy. I'm glad you brought that to my attention!

And you're quite welcome. :D
