SV fandom rocks

I feel a little like Clark at the beginning of "Jitters," when "a small gathering of friends" turned into the whole high school partying at his house. Wow! 1200+ comments and still going strong--thanks to everyone who came to the party! Welcome to all you former lurkers!!! The party is still going on, actually, though I'm going to have to let it happen in my absence, today, because of some RL stuff I need to take care of. And I'm going out of town this weekend, so if I'm a little slow in replying to comments, that's why.

If I am Clark, by the way, the role of Lex, bringing the fireworks, was played by [livejournal.com profile] mskatej and [livejournal.com profile] toadstoolsmiles and [livejournal.com profile] bop_radar, who all took shifts playing hostess when I could not. Thank you so much! And thanks also to everyone who pimped it in their journal--[livejournal.com profile] roxymissrose and [livejournal.com profile] teot and [livejournal.com profile] pixie_ysral and probably many other folks I did not see: thanks for making it such a success!

The feedbackathon as a whole was a really great experience, and I want to thank all the folks who participated, promoted it in their journals, and especially everyone who contributed info and links to the resources I posted on various days. [livejournal.com profile] talitha78 and [livejournal.com profile] enderwiggin24 especially went out of their way to track down many valuable links for this, and I really appreciated that. Thanks to everyone else who helped out with resources, including [livejournal.com profile] aelora, [livejournal.com profile] betrue, [livejournal.com profile] cinderella81, [livejournal.com profile] drakeofdross, [livejournal.com profile] lastscorpion, [livejournal.com profile] lunarknightz, [livejournal.com profile] myownghost, [livejournal.com profile] skuf, [livejournal.com profile] tasabian, and [livejournal.com profile] teot.

Even if you didn't get a chance to participate in the feedbackathon this week, you can still always send feedback. Feedback is love! And if you're looking for the resources from this week, they are all available here.

::Big smooches to everyone::

Plus, many lurkers actually delurked! That makes me very happy.

Thanks for hosting it! It was crazy fun. :-)

It was, wasn't it?

In case I forget to say so in the rush to get ready to go out of town tomorrow, have a great birthday! I hope it is full of porn.

I hope it is full of porn

Hee. I hope so too!

It was a wonderful idea. Sometimes you need a nudge to post a story or send some feedback or de-lurk, so this was very good for that.

Thanks so much!

Again, thank you for organizing the feedbackathon!! (I did fall behind there towards the end, but hopefully the best-of recs-list I'm compiling will sort-of make up for it.)

Well, if I hadn't been scheduled to go out of town last weekend and then again in a couple weeks, I probably would have made it a feedback month rather than week (despite what the polls said), because it is rather a lot to do in one week. If I do it next year I'm definitely stretching out the time!

That best-of recs list sounds like a great project.
