Me too. Where is What's-His-Name with it, anyway?

Well, traditionally, it goes up after Christmas. I was planning on that, unless there are serious objections...

No objections at all. Just excited! :)

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

It's a new tradition for me -- still learning.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I'm flattered folks are excited. Let's say... look for a late Christmas present... Just give me time to get initial posts set up before people start posting to pick teams and/or ask questions.

I'm actually kind of excited about this, too, and just desperately hoping I don't screw it up.

Okay ... I'll try.

I picked up an ARC this week that has to be done this weekend, so that's sucked up most of my reading time.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Ok, not counting it for an energy cell, as there's no point, but

Marvel

The Black Prism

Which means:

All Marvel heroes recruited
All Marvel portal heroes recruited
All villains defeated
All BOTM either read this year or read before.

And I'll have one last post after I get home in the morning for this.
