Oh, gosh, you must have been away in January. :D

It's that time of year again... by eatpraylove on 2017-06-08 04:07:00 UTC Reply

The Unclaimed and Claimed pages are looking a little messy, and since no one else volunteers for these things, I will. If you have any claims from January 2016 or earlier that you still want, please renew them! The cleanup begins Saturday at noon eastern time, so y'all have a little more than three days to take care of that.

ATTN: Cleanup starts now! by eatpraylove on 2017-06-10 17:03:00 UTC Reply

Do not edit the Unclaimed or Claimed Badfic pages until I reply to this with the all-clear.

ATTN: Cleanup completed. by eatpraylove on 2017-06-10 18:18:00 UTC Reply

Sorry to anyone who forgot to renew their claims in time.

I seem to have renewed all of mine...(& attn. Silenthunder!) by Zingenmir on 2017-06-08 17:50:00 UTC Reply

...back in January 2017, when I changed my screenname. I might go through them and renew them again now, just to make sure I still want all of them, and won't lose them if I miss the next cleanup, but I haven't done that yet.

The only thing I didn't renew this January is from February 2016...and it's a joint claim with Silenthunder.

So. Uh. Hi, Silent! Want to try picking up our apparently abandoned-since-last-June cowrite? Could be fun!

Sorry, I don't reconize your username. Which claim was it? (nm) by Silenthunder on 2017-06-09 03:59:00 UTC Reply

The claim is "Raised by Darkness" (that ridiculous thing with Harry Potter being raised by *caring Dementors* of all creatures), and I am DawnFire. I just changed my screen name back in January of this year--I'd been using 'DawnFire' for long enough that it no longer felt right, so I chose something more relevant to me-the-adult. ('Zingenmir' is Yiddish and means something like "we are singing.")

Oh, okay! by Silenthunder on 2017-06-09 11:01:00 UTC Reply

Hey, how have you been doing? And yeah, I agree we should renew our claim on that one. (I may still call you Dawn out of habit, just to warn you.)

Renewed the claim! by Zingenmir on 2017-06-09 23:23:00 UTC Reply

And go for it. I've got good associations with being called 'Dawn', even if I no longer feel so much like a DawnFire.

I've been...good, but busy. Lots going on here, in a way--I went on a two-week vacation, and before and after that I've been dealing with the occasionally messy bureaucracy that comes with applying to spend a year abroad. On the plus side, I now no longer hesitate over how to spell the word 'bureaucracy'!

And I hear you graduated high school--congrats! What are your plans for next year? Straight into college, gap year, something else entirely? (Whatever you choose to do, good luck!)

Figure I might as well renew all my claims by Novastorme on 2017-06-08 17:13:00 UTC Reply

Especially as they're all under my old name. So I'm claiming "Agent Clover the Hacker", "Harry Potter and the Guardians of Hogwarts", "It's only a song" and "Son of Chaos Book One"
Yep! Here! by Matt Cipher on 2017-06-08 15:07:00 UTC Reply

I continue claiming "The Way The World Works" and "The Child of the Moon: The Lightning Thief"
