Captain McCool Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Ack! The deadline really creeped up on me for this. Damn. And I knew it would, too. My life has been turned upside down in the last two weeks or so, what with job hunting, the pseudo-resignation of my quartermaster, and the family dog passing away, and frankly, I haven't even had a chance to think about this. So... at the risk of sounding like a bad, procrastinating student... is there any way I could get just a wee extention?

michaelsbagley Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Hang on guys, please don't bail, as it makes it harder for the rest of us. Between the last two posts, and a private message I received yesterday, would everyone agree to stay in if we pushed the deadline back to the end of next week? That should give all time to recoup from whatever adventures we've been on recently, and get their cards done. Agreed?
Brig Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds great, I was struggling with the deadline as well...just got back from MTA, had an eventful trip home, and am still trying to catch up with everything at home. I'll have my cards ready to go in the mail by the end of this week most likely. Oh, how beautiful it used to be Just you and me, far beyond the sea -Nightwish Alice Mason, Crewe of the Archangel
Captain McCool Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Whew. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one having trouble here. I think that sounds mighty fine, and I will endeavour to have mine done forthwith!

Ransom Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Okay, Michael, mine are done. I need your new addy.

Kate Souris Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Oh noes....Pew did you mail them to our old address? We got the fowarding....but it takes some time....
Captain McCool Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Alright, working on mine. I was originally going to only do one design, but now I think I'll do more. Maybe not a full 10, but at least five. That way there will be 2 of every design. So tell me, should we personalize these in some way? As in, putting our name or persona on them or something? Or are they really more about the artwork itself?

Or are they really more about the artwork itself? Mine are variations on a LOST theme. No personalization.. just loooooosssssstttttttttttt And- mine'll be a bit late- I thought I'd have 'em in the mail already, I had only a bit to finish- but got called into work- OT time and a half- gotta do it. Hopefully they'll be done and in the mail Monday- Tuesday at the latest!

I always put an "R" on the front of mine, and on the back the series name (Lost), number( in this case, 4, but I screwed up and put 3 by mistake, LOL), date, and a brief description/bio.

I may just do that.

Captain McCool Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Okay, still working on mine. I aim to have them done by tomorrow, but likely I won't actually be able to mail them until Saturday. I'm so sorry for holding up the process here!

Gunpowder Gertie Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Do not fret mate! You're not the only one-Mine went out today! Edited April 2, 2010 by Gunpowder Gertie
Captain McCool Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Alright folks, mine are done and in the mail! Although I believe I missed the shipment for Saturday, so they'll probably actually go out on Monday. I was going to do 5 designs, but I never got the last one done, so there are only 4. Still, I'm just proud of myself for doing more than 1, heh. Can't wait to see everyone else's! So question: can we post pictures of the various designs we did at some point, so everyone can see what everyone else got? Or is part of the fun the mystery of it all?

j8ksdad Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Usually better to wait until everyone has received their cards from Michael. That way we can all be surprised with what we receive. But Yes, after that it is great to share. I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.
Captain McCool Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Great! That's pretty much what I thought. Can't wait to see them!

Captain McCool Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 So are everybody's cards in yet? Or are we still waiting on some stragglers?

michaelsbagley Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 At this moment, most of the cards are in. I am still waiting on Gertie's, but with international mail I expected that to take a bit longer, and then there is one other who got them sent a bit later... That I expect to show up at the same time as Gertie's. I am guessing that Cross bailed, as I have heard nothing more from him since his brief post, so I think he dropped in the post his withdrawal, and then never looked in on the thread again. So we do have only 9 sets of cards this round.
