 Congratulations, Jenn! :p <-------- This is me--green with envy But I'm really happy that it finally happened for you. On to the subject of the Ficathon, I got mine too, and I'm looking forward to the assignment. This should be interesting!

Better questions: When will the baby arrive? And, totally unrelated: When will the next Kerth ceremony take (web)place?  Anyway, congratulations.

Well, Kerths are April IIRC, and the nKerths should be sometime this summer. But I'm sure Dawn would consider adjusting the timeframe so it better matches up with the pregnancy  Michael

I don't mean to sound bitchy, but hey, I have rampant morning sickness, Congratulations! I, for one, can’t wait to see some of the requests. Mine made me smile, and I’m sure whoever got mine either shook their head or laughed out loud. But I'm sure Dawn would consider adjusting the timeframe so it better matches up with the pregnancy Uh, I dunno about that.  Haven't you heard about Kerths and pregnant announcers and emcees being in labor? I believe Pam was one of those folks. Pam?

Of course I have. And I'm sure Jenn would give us the honors of presenting during the nKerths. Right?

Thanks for the congrats, everyone ... and no, no, no, I better not be in labor at the Kerths. I'm due in JUNE. So unless the awards are severely delayed this year ...

Haven't you heard about Kerths and pregnant announcers and emcees being in labor? I believe Pam was one of those folks. Pam? Yeah, but it was false labor and the baby took another two weeks to arrive. Fun, though! I think Kathy and Erin had their turns, too. Best memory -- talking to someone & I said "I'm having a little trouble with contractions" and she said "you'd better be talking about grammar!" And yes, Jenn, I hope you get a really great fic.  PJ

"I have a...."

Nancy -
I'm planning on starting it's own thread, but it hasn't happened yet. I'll go do that now...
Thanks.

...please let us know ASAP . I know a number of people who said they wouldn't be able to get it done until *after* Christmas/New Year's and that's certainly fine, but if you don't think you're going to be able to finish yours, could you please let us know as soon as you can? Actually, I'd appreciate it if those who got their assignments from me could let me know either way . Thank you to everyone who has already posted, is going to post and has let us know you won't be able to! Thanks, everyone! Carol

Working on it. Already have 10 pages done (read: a third of the story from what I figure  ) Not worried at all. Although, um, what's the policy on posting multiparters?

I just rewrote everything I've written so far and finally like it. Maybe now I can finish the story. I just feel like the person that I'm writing for deserves better...  Elisabeth

Elisabeth LOL! You sound like me! I rewrote the entire beginning because I didn't like it - and I'm glad I did. It wound up working a lot better and complying with the assignment request *much* better. Can't wait to read yours!
LOIS:I don't like you.
MAYSON: Really? Oh god, that is such a relief - I don't like you either.
LOIS: That makes me feel so much better
