Challenges and Exchanges and things + not receiving comments in my email

*So excited to see the art for spn_reversebang! I probably won't be home when it goes up, but I'm sooo looking forward to it. *REFRESHES PAGE FOR AS LONG AS I'M HOME THIS MORNING*

*I'm currently having a lot of fun working on my art for the samdean_otp minibang, yay!

*and working on little doodles for sassy week and samifer week on tumblr (I'm badbastion over there, so creative with my usernames. I'm also very bad at doing follow-backs. I just can't keep up with my dash, and I don't have time to look at everything I want to look at already :I)

*I caved and signed up for spn_j2_xmas and jeeeeez, my signup comment was so long, haha. I hope it's more helpful than it is overwhelming, to have so many options.

*What are some other fun challenge type things going on around the fandom? I don't want to sign up for anything else where I'm required to have something finished by a deadline; two of those is exactly enough for me. I'd prefer things where participation is optional. Any suggestions? :)

*For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications from Livejournal. I checked all my settings, and I just don't know what's up. I'm thinking maybe it's all the free pandas being shared around that's gunking up the system, but another user told me they were getting notifications just fine. HMMM. So if I miss replying to a comment, I'm not ignoring you, I swear, haha.

Darn you! I just went to your tumblr and stumbled on that rarepairs contest. *shakes fist!* Keep being badbastion everywhere. BRANDING, baby! (Just google 'quickreaver' and see what I mean...)

LJ's notification system has been wonky for a while; most of my notes get dumped into my email's spam box so I rely on simply visiting LJ for any correspondence.

Huzzah for ALL THE PROJECTS! I'm so glad you glommed onto the fandom, bb. :D

Team Samifer all the way, baby! Such a freaky pairing, I can't help but to love it. It seems like a fun little challenge, and I hope it goes over well. You should jooooooin. Any pairing aside from Sam/Dean, Dean/Castiel and Sam/Gabriel is allowed.

I would like to petition the internets to make LJ's notfications system work right again. *goes to change.org*

I am excited! Haha, I kind of splooted onto the fandom, now I'm oozing all around it, my inky tendrils creeping in all its cracks. Creeeeeep. It's such a fun fandom :)

Nooooooooo

Not only is lj's notification system wonky, its commenting system is too. It just disappeared my comment to you, which I promise was very clever, and I was also very persuasive about getting you to join in on the rarepairs fest thingy. Any pairing aside from Dean/Sam, Sam/Gabriel, and Dean/Castiel is eligible! Fun!

edit: now it spit up my comment again. Ignore what I said about it being clever, lol.

No worries, dollface! I'm actually lobbying for Sam/Ruby. I know, I know. Nobody likes Ruby but I DO, DAMMIT. I don't scribble much by way of slash (though I can look at/read it with sincere appreciation), so there's a goodly chunk of me that could get on board with Sammifer. :D

We shall see what happens as the challenge gets rolling! Do you know how the competition is supposed to run?

Oh, I can dig Sam/Ruby. I think she was a great character. Of course she was a demon, so unreliable (but that's part of her charm), but still. I really like how she talked to Sam. Pret-ty hot. And I'm still a little unsure about how it will work, but here's the faq and here's how to form a team/ So you could totally try to get a Sam/Ruby team going, if there wasn't one already :)

Well, Team Sam/Ruby already has a post in the tumblr comm (just announcing its existence.) Does that mean there are already people ready to jump on board, and I can just join them? Guess I'd better pop off a note to the mods...I'm so confused as to how this is gonna run.
