The 2017-2018 Sekrit Solstice Sci-Fi Fantasy Story Swap

Eeep! I got TWO more!! So 'cited!!!

My gift is a novella, and I thought I was going to read ten pages or so and then have dinner. Nope. Read it straight through. I am humbled and in awe. Brilliant execution of the prompt elements. Just...... wow. I feel like I need a cigarette, and I don't smoke.

My story was far more beautiful and engaging that I was expecting. I love it so much!

Whaaa I just got an extra! It's like Christmas has come twice!

Oh my, I've extra words in my box!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I got an extra story, too, and it was AWESOME. My email dinged, and I was like "squirrel? SQUIRREL?" Again, no self control so I read it right away.

I can't say anything else about it, but extra gifter, thank you for going to the extra trouble and know that it was perfect.

Woo hoo - extra stories. Thank you wonderful peeps

All extra stories are finally sent. Grand total for this season of the Sisyphus is a whopping 126.

My fingers need a drink.

There's one final story we're waiting on and that person requests a tad more time. Soon as I get it and it's sent to it's lucky giftee, we'll unleash the fury of Teh Guessez.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX stories! Holy moly! *hauls out a vat of scotch for Cobra's fingers*

I think it's safe to say that this year's prompts were very inspiring.

By Zues's beard! I have another story to read too! Gah, I don't want to work tonight. I just want to read them over and over!

Best Sisyphus ever

Whoa! I got an extra story, too! And I am just stunned at how good it is. I so want to quote one of my favorite lines, because it's so beautiful... Thank you so much, Gifter #2!

I got a second story?! How... even... what?




Other, secret secret SSFSSFSFSF gifter, I cannot even begin to express how exquisitely awesome this is.

I have now read BOTH my extra stories and I love them both to bits! Walloping great hugs to ALL my gifters. I would highly recommend all the stories I got for my prompt! They're all different and all utterly awesome and amazing!

And you know what? With all these extra stories, I reckon the guessing thread is going to be totally nutso. *rubs hands together gleefully* Can't wait!

I have another extra story to read as well, omg! :O

TWO STORIES! I GOT PLURALS! It's like waking up to find TWO Santa's by my Christmas tree, wildly vying for my attention! No worries Santas, I love you both. *scurries off to read*

This morning I was trying to troubleshoot something and found myself typing if [conditions] then ‘nope’

I think pretty much every developer ever has typed that at some point.

Guess what.

Chicken butt.

After guessing is all done, can we find the generous nutso gifter with the most extra submissions and crown her/im beloved forever and also supreme jumbler of the guessing thread?

I GOT AN EXTRA AND I HAVEN'T READ IT YET BUT I LOOKED AT IT AND I LOVE IT ALREADY <3 You know who you are and you know why.

I woke up to a story in my inbox and then while I was doing my normal morning stuffs, another one came! They are now waiting, tied in bows, for me (hopefully this evening) and I have no doubt they will be awesome.

Count me in!

I agree.

We need to catch the Generous Nutso who's guilty of spreading joy.

CATCH THEM AND BURY THEM IN CUDDLY SMIBBLES STOLEN FROM THE CANTINA AS PUNISHMENT!
