Land challenge pimping

[meredith44]

Okay, I've been a bad friend. I haven't been commenting as much recently as I would like (I have multiple tabs open for future response, so if you get a response to an old post, that is why) and I haven't been posting. The reason? Land comms have eaten my brain. No, really. These suckers are crazy fun and addictive.

LAND COMMS ARE EVILLLLLLLLLLL, They eat up you life but i love them <3
How are you Meredith?

[meredith44]

Exhausted and sick. The icon pass it on battle with its lack of sleep did me in. (But I had tons of fun and loved talking to my teammates on our chat.)

How are you? Did you do the icon pass it on thing as part of your team?

[kateshepard]

Awww hopefully you willget better!
Yeah it was fun but I had to leave because my grandma isnt doing so well so....

[meredith44]

I slept basically all day today (when I should have been working on my magazine *grin*), so hopefully I will be better.

I saw that you had to leave because of family circumstances. I'm sorry. I hope that your family all pulls through. I'm sending good wishes your way.

I thought I hadn't seen you around much. Land comms are incredible. I had to resist the urge to join psychland, then leverageland and then caperland. I just can't take on any more comms, BSG or otherwise !:)
Have you seen caperland? Burn Notice, Leverage, White Collar comm. Probably the only way we'll see a Burn Notice challenge comm - as part of a multi comm (I thought a USA Network multi comm of Burn Notice, Psych, Monk, might have worked too).
So far I've resisted, partly because I can never get below 4 comms as it is, and partly because we've only just had season 2 of Burn Notice here (and Leverage S1) and the comms seem to have major spoilers.
I usually have a billion google chrome tabs open too, my to do list as it were - and about 95% are them are LJ and 90% of those are the land comms!

I'm still resisting psychland, but if I get team Burn Notice, I may have possibly signed up for caperland. (Nothing like a 6th land community!)

I understand about the spoilers. I was way behind on LotS (not as far as you, but back to Bound) until last night, and I was skipping fic entries and still getting spoiled. (Nothing major, but still.) And I would think getting spoiled would be more important for shows like Leverage and Burn Notice than the crack that is LotS.

So, did you like Leverage? I've never seen it, but I adore Burn Notice and like White Collar, so I am thinking of giving it a try as I may be in the land comm.

I don't have a ton of land comm tabs open because I usually just have one (the open challenges one) for each team. I have like 30-40 "real" LJ tabs open. (And that is after jotting down the URLs of the fanfics I wanted to read and emailing them to myself. There may have been like 100 of those. *headdesk*)

I loved "leverage" from episode one :) I haven't seen any "White Collar" yet, though it's about to premiere in the UK. But I've just started "Castle", as you know, plus "V" and it doesn't make me want to watch it desperately. Then again I came late to "Psych" and "Firely" etc so maybe later!

[meredith44]

White Collar is a watchable show basically because of the chemistry of the leads. The plots are beyond thin, but the actors and their interactions are awesome. I can't truly recommend it, but I'll keep watching. I think I am going to try Leverage, though, especially as I've decided to be in caperland. (See edited post.) What can I say, I'm addicted to these suckers! *grin*

Sorry, but I'm running away from this post after I comment. I'm so sick of land comms and their constant promotion - never expected to see you doing it.

[meredith44]

I'm sorry to hear that. I fully admit that I have an obsessive personality. Once I gave up on the NCIS fandom, I happened to discover land comms and they stuck. They have everything I used to love about the NCIS fandom, the camaraderie, the joy in fandom, the fun of making stuff just for the sake of making stuff, the support, etc. I'm going to try (again) to post more regularly so that this isn't my only post, but I may end up making more posts related to land comms (like graphics I've made or picspams I've made or whatever). I will keep the pimping down to a minimum. (As this is my first pimp post and I've been involved in my first for 10-11 months and been obsessed for 3-4, I think I have not been too excessive with it.)

Again, I'm really sorry you don't like to see it/feel it is being constantly promoted.
