To Be Continued...

[sgarb_mod]

There are a number of authors who have not commented on the claiming post yet. I've emailed them all to let them know.

For the authors who have decided to wait until the second round of claiming, I will get back to after all of the artwork has been claimed at least once. Or if you'd like to change your mind, you can choose from the artwork that hasn't been claimed yet.

I will send out the full-size versions of the artwork and get you in contact with your artists within the next 24 hours.

And lastly, sorry for the mistakes and typos. Chalk it up to cold fingers and me being all panicky.

And JSYK I will be offline for the next few hours, so I won't be able to respond to questions/comments right away.

I am one of those people who haven't claimed anything yet. I should read Dreamwidth more often, I didn't think claiming was for awhile yet! Ooops. But now I feel really silly because I can't find the art. Can you point me in the right direction when you have time?

Thank you!

[kisahawklin]

Here you go!

[ladyanne]

You're awesome, thank you!

[ladyanne]

Alright, I found it!

[pajamas]

thanks for all your hard work on this!

[sgarb_mod]

Thank you for participating!

I have another question, but it isn't in any way urgent, since it's completely hypothetical at this point. If a writer finishes their story for their art choice before the deadline can they claim another and try to finish two stories for the challenge? (I know everything will be claimed at least once; I'm speaking of a second story for a piece of art.)

[gamilaroi]

I've put in my claims (I had to work this morning 9am to 1pm), so I'm not sure if I have missed out or not. I live in Aussie, so time differences can be some what of a challenge. I'd been looking forward to doing this after reading some of last years ones, which were totally awesome.

Oh, thank you for asking - I had the same question. :D

[auburn]

So much inspiring art, am I right? I jotted down story idea for at least seven. And I was living in terror I wouldn't see anything that fired me up.

[sgarb_mod]

If you finish your first story, feel free to claim another one! It's great to hear that you're so inspired :D

Thanks for doing this!

[sgarb_mod]

You're welcome! I hope a lot of good work will come of it :)

I am a little confused about the when the 2nd round of claiming was supposed to start. I was under the impression you were going to contact us or put out an announcement that the 2nd round would start at "X" time.

I am puzzled how a bunch of art is no longer available, but I seemed to have missed the claiming posts. Were we just supposed to post again at the end with our requests?

I was hoping that you could explain it to me, as I am very disappointed that the pieces that I was drawn to as they are no longer available and I didn't even know when the 'bidding' would start.

[sgarb_mod]

I did reply to your original comment, and I gave you your first choice. Since you chose to wait until the 2nd round, I just kept going through the claims until alk the art had been claimed once, then I went back to the first comment and went through the claims again.

[sgarb_mod]

Also, I might not be able to get back to you right away since I'm not at a computer.

[shaddyr]

No worries, I'll just wait then. Thanks so much for clarifying, because I wasn't sure.

[shaddyr]

Oh I think I see! Then I should get one of my choices as long as no one who was before me and still waiting for a piece claimed it?

[sgarb_mod]

I think I might've hit reply to my own comment instead of yours, so maybe you didn't get the comment notification, but I did give your first choice, here. Sorry about the misunderstanding, and I hope that clears things up!

[shaddyr]

OMG yes! I must have just not seen it!

*squeals like the fangirl she is*

Thanks so much!

[sgarb_mod]

You're welcome! I'm glad we got that cleared up :)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

So, has all the claiming finished, then? I apologize for asking the silly question, but I'm terribly confused.

[sgarb_mod]

There are still some authors who haven't gotten back to me, but that won't affect anyone else in the challenge.a

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Ah! Thank you. I hope they get back to you soon. :)
