Wow... Lots... Is like a sweetie shop window.

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

I read nearly 400 journals today. Hold me?

[stumbelina.livejournal.com]

::swaddles you::

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Good lord. What a ginormous update. **fetches you chocolates**

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

::eats chocolates::

::is revived somewhat::

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Something for everyone, thanks!

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

::dances you::

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I been danced! ::lawks::

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Pssst, I wrote a Spike/Lorne fic following eliade's request.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/estepheia/408136.html

It would be very nice of you to list it.

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

I think perhaps not today. I'll send it along for the next big update to whoever's doing that. Which is Cassie, I think, on the 5th. Or it might be me. ::is braindead and filled with flu:: Anyway, yeah: I'm done with this update I think. It's large enough.

Does this make me not nice? ::cries and looks at you with big brown eyes::

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Nuh, it's ok. :-)
*pets you*

[yin-again.livejournal.com]

Hi, sweetie - thanks for all the hard work!

wesleysgirl and I are writing a tag fic (it has no name, sadly) that starts here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/secondverse/156289.html

All the entries are public - we'd be flattered if you'd like to include it.

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

As I said to estepheia upthread: next one now, darling. I deem this opus finished! I'll certainly send it along to Cassie though. Next update is on the 5th (another Christmas round-up) and then we're back to normal service.

[yin-again.livejournal.com]

Sounds good - we probably won't finish before then anyway. Now, sit down and put your feet up - that was a lot of pimpin' you just did!

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

hey there!

thanks for listing "survival instincts" and i'm really glad you've listed "no more snakes and ladders" because it's an awesome story. however, neither kyrieane nor i are co-authors of it. we're just lucky pre-readers. the writing is all done by tabaqui and reremouse. not that i wouldn't love to be able to take credit... but i'd appreciate a correction. thanks!

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

p.s. you really read 400 journals today? you're totally my hero!

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

Fixed! And yeah, I did. There's a limit to skip function so I read the past week's entries on all of the journals listed as readers of the Herald. And then I did the comms and my own list of journals. Sort of a Christmas prezzie.

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

i don't know if you're crazy or wonderful or both. maybe both.

[shaychana.livejournal.com]

that .... is deeply impressive. i salute you. thanks for being on the herald. *awe*

[tabaqui]

Hallo!!

Thank you thank for the pimps!
Very much appreciated.

And yes, what camisha said - reremouse and I are the only authors at snakes_ladders.
:)

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

Sorted! Apologies for the mix-up.

[tabaqui]

No big!
Thanks.
:)

My word!
*fans Dodyskin and fetches water*
You were a busy little bee, weren't you?
Massive update! Thanks a bunch!
Ooo! And I was one of them!
*preens sweetly*
Thank you!

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

*finally gets these comments, they slipped my mind*

I have, clearly, now recovered.

[spuzz.livejournal.com]

You are as a God.

Save me from family members.

P.S. Thanks for the E-Card
P.S.S No seriously, save me.

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

*saves you*

Where are you? You should be back by now!

*stamps feet and maybe cries a little*

[gloss]

You're a rockstar. Like Bowie, man.

*ogles all the linkage*

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

*lets all the children boogie*

[tesla321.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the pimps---you like me! And thanks for the morning wake up. I went to two of the essays and ended up posting, 'I totally disagree with you.' There's no court today, so I guess the aggression goes somewhere. I'm pleased that you include people who are Not All Alike! Makes for good intellectual stimulation!

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

Heh, so behind on comments omg. Er, yay! I think it's good to be challenged a little occasionally. Except maybe not like you were maybe in that first link. *squeezes your shoulder*
