I'm a bit slow due to being on vacation and trying to figure out my capacity -- will return in a day or two see if more complements are still needed. :)

[thisaintbc]

Sounds like a plan! I'm actually in a similar boat - trying to figure out what I can realistically do, given, you know, real life and stuff, before I sign up for anything

[lomelinde_laurea]

If you’re still looking for someone, I’ d be very happy to clam creator 3 as well. (I’ve been thinking about choosing that work for a secondary claim anyway, as I already have some ideas.)

[feroxargentea]

That would be great! We'll officially assign Creator 3 to you, then!

[lomelinde_laurea]

Great, thanks!

[mific]

I'd be keen on 5B as well if it's still up for grabs!

[thisaintbc]

It is! We'll go ahead and assign 5B to you - I'll send the matchup confirmation email in the next half hour or so!
