Ooh, it would be wonderful to have a contribution from you!

Holidays have been nice -- hope yours have, too. ♥

I'm rather late to the party, but . . .

Wotcher! :)

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! It's great to have you join us.

If you could just sign up as a member of the community (rt_morelove), we can give you posting access. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

[nekwrites.livejournal.com]

A very belated Wotcher! from me :) I was a poster in this last year and greatly enjoyed it, so I'm endeavoring to finish a fic for it this year!

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

It's great to have you back! You now have posting access. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

[katyscarlett76.livejournal.com]

So is it still ok to say "wotcher" now??

I meant to sign up earlier (via a little prompting from my Christmas Card from gilpin25 ;) but I got hit with my now traditional Christmas cold and have not had chance to log on till now.

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

It is absolutely still okay to say 'wotcher'! So glad you're joining in.

You have posting access now.

[faeriemagic07.livejournal.com]

Hey! I just found this site.
Can I still join?
Wotcher!

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course you can. :) I've given you posting access.

[evenscribbles.livejournal.com]

Hi, Can I gain posting access?
I'd love to add some stories to the twelfth night event, if it's not too late?

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

Hello, and welcome! We're glad to have you with us. I've given you posting access.

Just as a reminder, I know there's only a little time left in the event, but I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "add some stories" -- and as you can see in the information and rules post (http://rt-morelove.livejournal.com/22540.html), we do ask that you not post things here that have already been posted elsewhere. (That said, once you've posted something here, you can then post it somewhere else too!)

[evenscribbles.livejournal.com]

Understood. Wrong choices of words. Sorry.

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

No problem at all, and thanks for clarifying! I just wanted to make sure everything was clear.

I saw you've posted already -- looking forward to reading your fic as soon as I have a chance to sit down and read. :) It's great to have new members in the community.
