I'm a newbie. I shouldn't be upset at myself.

Well, poo. Told you I didn't understand this Yuletide biz. I've been waiting to see announcements regarding pinch hits, because I thought that would be fun, and since I didn't see any, assumed they'd come out after the deadline, right? 'Cos they're for those who are good with quick turnaround times, right? Turns out there's a Yahoo!Group you join to watch for them and I've been missing them since the beginning of November. Again, poo.

*pets* no worries, you'll have your hands full soon. *g*

That's encouraging! No, really, it is!

glad I could be of help :D

OMG what the hell is up with your icon! That is the FREAKIEST thing I have ever seen! I'm blind!

Ha ha ha! That was art by ildi_bp for a line from mctabby's Summary Executions, and she drew it to make Snape look like Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory. ^_^ I had to icon it.

I live under a rock. I just discovered Summary Executions. I am weeing in my pants from laughing so hard.

Your icon btw, lets just not mention indignity of it, shall we. Poor Snape *sniff*

Summary Executions was part of the golden age of HP fandom. No one's said there won't be any more, but it's been quite a while and so I don't expect any more.

*laughs* Oh, I've had the next batch sitting around for months - half-collected. Should post it, eventually.

Free bonus summary: Left in the rain alone and dumped. Albus mets the miss understod Scropious. The sugery sweet teen gives Albus his Umbrella. Now what? YAOI WARINGING Albus/Scorp-slight-Draco/Ron.


(And I remember thinking, when the pinch-hit announcement posts were going up in November, "Wonder if Amanuensis has seen this?" - had an impulse to draw your attention to it, but decided you probably knew already. So, uselessly belated tip: watch both [livejournal.com profile] yuletide and [livejournal.com profile] yuletide_admin, or you'll miss stuff you might want to know.)

Ah ha ha! Notice how I didn't commit you to ANYTHING--neither whining that you hadn't produced any recently nor assuming you weren't putting up any more. I'm so tactful. :D

And thank you for the tip no matter how belated!

And:

Left in the rain alone and dumped. Albus mets the miss understod Scropious. The sugery sweet teen gives Albus his Umbrella. Now what? YAOI WARINGING Albus/Scorp-slight-Draco/Ron.

Warninging! It's our attempt to compress the fanwank--your warning and your whinging in one!

So very Yay! to catch a bit of your summary-MSTing. :D

Yes, you are very tactful. Good luck with the pinch-hitting - have fun!
