Waiting for this post on tumblr to signal boost it :) I still haven’t finished my summer entry, but I think I’ll sign up for December with something short in mind.

[sanguinity]

Thank you for the boost, and hurrah, you're thinking of signing up again!

"Something short in mind" -- I always tell myself I'm gonna write something short. Sometimes it even works out that way. ;-)

[mightymads]

Hopefully it will this time :)

[luthienberen]

"Short in mind" = great lie to tell yourself 😂 I always say that too... 😮 I look forward to seeing what you produce short or long mightymads 😀

[mightymads]

Looking forward to your entry too if you're going to sign up!

[luthienberen]

Thank you! :D I was meant to be studying, but the course is full so I have the time to sign up. Look forward to sharing the excitement!

[magnetic_pole]

Hurrah! M.

[sanguinity]

Hooray!

[starfishstar]

Hurrah! I'm once again definitely not going to be able to sign up this round, but I'll be cheering you all on! (And barring calamities, I most certainly plan to be back for the summer round.)

[sanguinity]

Boo, we'll miss your sign-up this round, but I'm glad you'll still be around anyway -- I look forward to your presence in the guessing post!

And hurrah for next summer!

[starfishstar]

Heh. Just as in June, in December I really, really should not allow myself the time to read, comment, guess, anything! But as in June, it's possible I may end up doing some of that anyway...

[sanguinity]

I should be a better person and root for you doing as you should, and having much success at it, too. But I am selfish, selfish, and hope we see at least a little of you.

But whether we see you or not, I hope that December goes very well for you!

[starfishstar]

Aw! I'm flattered to be the object of such lovely selfishness, so, thank you! :D

[gardnerhill]

Woo hoo! (drops to the ground and starts doing pushups)

*cheers you on*

Somehow I didn't think through the fact that Holmestice will be starting up RIGHT as I get started stage managing a show. Which literally starts rehearsing before sign ups close and then closes the day after reveals.

... am I going to kill myself trying to write a story this round?

[sanguinity]

You are going to regale us of stories of actor!Holmes! Backstage casefic! Everything hinges on the age of the paint on the flats! Or the literal hinges of the trapdoor!

[mightymads]

I'm already intrigued!
