[pensnest]

I am delighted to announce that the 2007 Dragon Challenge, with Added Dwarves, is now live.

Many thanks to the participating authors: ariadnem, bellamyrose, buddleia, iconis, joshysleo, msktrnanny, muinteor, ninjetti75, pensnest, sperrywink, turps33 and withdiamonds. (NB If any of you find formatting problems with your story, please let me know at once!)

This year, there are email links for feedback direct to the author. If anyone wants to rec or review in their LJ, please comment below with a link so that we can all enjoy!
ETA: Alas, a couple of people have told me that the feedback system is not working for them. Curse you, Freeway Express! If you want to email feedback to me I will make sure it is forwarded to the proper recipient.

Author reveal will be next week.

So, go read! Dragon Challenge 2007 Stories.


ETA: ephemera_pop's review of all the stories is here.

Happy Birthday! I just woke up and I'm about to spend the morning reading.

[pensnest]

Fresh stories make an excellent birthday present, and, hobbit-like, I can give them to other people too. :-D

Happy Birthday

Re: Happy Birthday

[pensnest]

I was shocked, shocked, I tell you, to think that my innocent little sister would send such a card. Heh.

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! New fic!!!!

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

And happy birthday :P

[pensnest]

Thank you! And yes, yay!

Happy Birthday Pen.

I hope you have a lovely day. :)

[pensnest]

Thank you! I'm working my way slowly through the challenge stories, so it's going pretty well so far. :-D

I've been working my way through the stories. I haven't been able to send any fb though. Every single time I click the link to send fb, everything freezes up and then the computer crashes. I don't know what is happening, I thought it was just Mom's computer, but now I'm wondering if it's my ISP or something - because I signed in on my computer to try it this morning and it did the same thing. :( I'll probably have to wait til people start posting to their own lj before I can send fb.

[pensnest]

Very weird... the feedback should link to an email address, which in fact comes to pensnest. If it turns out to be a problem with the site rather than with your computer, you can send emails direct to me, just make sure you have the title of the story you're talking about.

I'm getting other fb emails through with no problem...

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

I've still been unable to get through the email thing. :( I'm still totally unsure why it's doing that. I've dumped all the cookies on the computer along with the temporary internet files.

I have however gotten one piece of fb from someone on my story. Tis an odd thing. I think.

[pensnest]

I think people are reading them in the order they are on the index page, ie alphabetical...

I haven't *heard* from anyone else having problems with the email, so I'm kinda hoping it's your computer - otherwise there may be eager feedbackers being frustrated and unable to send comments. Sigh.

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

I just tried again, still nothing. So I"m saying that it's got to be our ISP. *kicks it*

You have email btw. :)

[rikes]

Happy birthday Pen! I see you've arranged yourself some gifts. ;)


P.S. You should announce this at shinyandnew at some point! Or maybe only after the authors have been revealed. :)

[pensnest]

I find that arranging to have a bunch of fresh stories to read works well for me!
:-D

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, Pen!!!!

:D

[pensnest]

Thank you :-D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Dragons! So much yay!

[pensnest]

Dragons be good.

[bellamyrose.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday, Pen! I hope you have a great day.


Thank you for hosting the challenge again this year.
*off to read Dragons and Dwarves*

[pensnest]

It brings me much joy, and birthday fic! :-D

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday!!

*checks I squeaked under the wire* oh good.

[pensnest]

You did - thanks :-D

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

I didn't!

Happy Belated Birthday, Pen!

(hey, it's still pre-midnight for ME, hee.)

[pensnest]

*grins* Thanks! Hey, I haven't finished reading all the dragon stories yet, so I reckon I'm having an extended birthday. :-D

[adelate]

A belated happy birthday! :))

[pensnest]

Thank you :-D
