THE LIST IS CLOSED. START COMMENTING, FOLKS! :D

Who: ???? Other than me, I mean... :D

What: Commenting at each other's blogs over a one-week period.

Where: Online. The URLs list is at the end of the post.

When
: December 9th (Sun) through December 15th (Sat).

Why: Why not? And to find new readers for our blogs, and to find new blogs for us to read. :) And because it's fun.

How:
  • Sign up by posting a response in this thread. Please indicate the name of your blog and the blog URL. If you don't specify the blog name and blog URL, I'll pick the first one I see. :D I'm looking for 15 participants total. THE LIST IS CLOSED TO NEW SIGNUPS.
  • Start commenting on December 9th at each of the blogs on the list (excluding your own). Leave at least one comment per blog, on any post you like. Comments that are supportive, constructive, and/or witty are much appreciated. [For anyone participating in an AW blogchain: Blogchain comments do not count as Blitz comments. Blitz comments must be created separately.]
  • Finish commenting by or before December 15th. Then come back to this thread and leave a note saying that you've finished.
By signing up, you are committing to commenting to 14 blogs over a 7-day period (Dec 9-15). Please note that this will take both both time and effort. If you aren't sure that you'll be able to do it, please don't ask to be added to the list. Thanks!

I'm in...


quidscribis, I've got an odd question: can I put in two different blogs if I promise to do lots of commenting? I've just started up a new one.

My longer-running blog is thursdaybram.com and the new one is onevotematters.com.

Ah, since I'm hosting the Flash Fiction Carnival III, I'd like to have people make sure they comment on something I've written rather than one of the stories I'm hosting, please. They'll be clearly labeled, of course, but I want comments to be all about ME!

:banana:

And yeah, quidscribis, that's my only blog so far. I haveanother one in development but it's sooper tahp seekrit and all. :D

I have no problem with that as long as you comment enough to compensate. As in, at least two comments per blog. :)

Can we start early?
How early? By my calendar, we're only about 42 hours out anyway.

Only natural. :) I'd want it that way myself. :)

Yeah, I figured you could, thursday. :)


So, anyone else? Anyone? Anyone?

And, by my clock, commenting can begin in, oh, a couple or so hours. I mean, I didn't specify which time zone, now did I? ;)

Yes, wordsmith and mamawriter, you squeaked in. Thanks for playing. :)

The list is now closed and the time for commenting has begun. Have fun!

If I've made mistakes with anyone's URL, please let me know and I'll make corrections. Post here if there are any problems, and also, please make sure to post in here when you're done to let us all know. Thanks for playing! :)

There is a problem commenting to my blog. Leave mine aside for the moment until I can figure out what the problem is. I'll post in here again as soon as I have it fixed. Thanks!


ETA: soccer_mom can't post a comment to my blog, and neither can I. Without getting all technical, we know it's not an IP-based problem, and we're trying to fix it.

Oh, if y'all get a comment from "MaryB" that's me. Some accounts will list my name that way. I'll try to add "Soccer Mom" so you'll know it's me, but I might forget.

Quid's comment issue is now fixed - she's cut off from AW and so can't post herself to update y'all :)

Rats. I wanted to play, but was busy finishing a novella.

I was just posting at my blog thinking-- what's the point? I seem to be the only one reading it. *sigh*
