**cue impromptu dance party**

We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

I like my timezone being in the middle. I miss the start, meh, but it means there's a bunch of stuff already around when I show up, and then as long as I don't sleep I can stay to the end of the party *grins and hands you Avengers themed cupcakes*.

I tend to track the post as a whole, then I get all the comments (including the ones buried back in the depths of the threads) in my email where I can respond or not as I please. With a little bit of tag/filters (because I already have my gmail tag my LJ notices) it works pretty well. :D

Ahh, a tech-savy approach :D I think the amount of stuff that would end up in my email inbox from that would drive me potty, heh.

Omg I actually squeaked with joy when I saw your icon. Love.

Wish I had time to read everything (and the tech-savvy)!

I know, right? *grins*. So much love for Prachett and Paul Kidby's artwork!

I am...working on it? Heh, TRYING to read as much as I can. And not trying the tech-savvy at all, because that will most likely end in disaster ;)

I so need to start following this comm in email instead of depending on LJ! It would definitely make my email A LOT more interesting!

the nice part in Gmail is that it threads the comments, so you have them altogether. And the way it auto-sorts, you have the ones that are directed to you separate from the general ones, because it's the difference in "person replied to a comment in thread" vs. "person replied to a comment you left in thread" and it sees those as different convos. :)

I'm awake! I'm here! Although actually I'm just going out, but HI! I'm sure you can nudge some of them awake, right? Give everyone coffee, they'll wake right up and be all fun again.

Oh, don't worry - some of us can't access LJ at work and are stuck too... but we're here now!!! :D

I feel for you. I was at work when all the fun was going down. It's slow slogging through the comments after the fact.

But we slog on because we know somewhere in the confusion, there are kernels of OH SO MUCH GOODNESS that we need to see to make our lives complete!

You got here earlier than I did! Seriously, I need to find a new job so I can be at the comm for all the fun things! *grins*
