Hi, all! I'd like to sincerely apologize for vanishing entirely. I honestly haven't even checked this community (or LJ) this year at all. And I'm really sorry about that. Thanks to those who have stepped up to post things in the meantime. :)

I think it's time for me to admit that I'm not likely to be active again in this fandom in the near future, and I'm doing very little on LJ these days in general. So I need to hand this community off to another mod, if anyone would like to take it.

Right now there are a few people with maintainer/mod privileges. If you already have mod status and would like to take over, I'm fine with that. If you want to be given mod status, leave a comment and I'll happily add you.

I could run one last prompting round if people would like that and if no one has any immediate plans to step in and do something with the comm - perhaps open a new round that'll run 'til the end of the year, then let people do whatever they want to do with the community after that? How does that sound?

Nothing will be deleted and I plan to keep my community membership, so I'll still be handy if anyone needs me!

And thank you for making this place great with all your enthusiasm. :)

Title: A Summer in Prague
Author: sheenianni
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey, Peter Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Mozzie
Word Count: 800
Rating: PG
Summary: It’s year 2002 when Peter and Neal meet again, and it’s under circumstances that neither of them imagined... Pre-series AU.

This is a remix, a missing scene or whatever you call it of my earlier story/art thing called Chasing Bonds. You might want to read that after finishing this one.
Written for the collarcorner exchange for polleekin.

A/N: First of all I need to apologize for taking so long with this story. Full disclosure – there was a completely different fic which kept growing, and eventually it became clear it would never work without being significantly better fleshed out. As it is, I’m currently contemplating turning that concept into a full-blown original novel – if I ever get to writing it. So I decided to let that be for the moment and write this story instead.

Here be story: at Livejournal | at Dreamwidth.

Posted on LJ and AO3

Just a quick reminder that we will be posting our creations tomorrow.
Post your creation on your default platform AO3, DW, LJ or... and add a link here, I think that is the easiest way. Make sure to Show how the creation is for.

I hope I'm not jinxing it by saying that...

sholio, our host here at collarcorner, asked for volunteers to run Round 50, so here we are! nywcgirl and I will be your mods for the exchange.

The CollarCorner Gen Exchange will be a hand-matched blind exchange, run here on LJ. ("blind exchange" = the recipient will not know who is creating for them till their creator posts their gift; i.e. your typical exchange.)

You don't need an LJ account to participate! (Except in the poll, I guess :/ You could reply in comments?) A DW or AO3 account will do just fine; one of the mods will link to your gift here at the comm.

At this point, we will not be allowing RPF requests/gifts.

Okay, first of all, apologies for basically going AWOL with no explanation for months!

Here's the basic deal: although there is definitely enough interest to support an exchange, sadly I can't run it. That's essentially what made me vanish - I ended up in infinite procrastination mode, but what it comes down to is, if there's going to be an exchange, someone who isn't me needs to step up and run it.

If anyone would like to volunteer to do that, please volunteer on this post, and I'll give you mod permissions on the community and leave you to it. :D You can run it however you like, according to whatever rules you prefer. The previous planning posts/polls are here and here. After the exchange is all done, I can come back and keep the prompt posts going.

If no one steps up to run an exchange, I'll just do Round 50 like a normal prompt round in November. Maybe another lightning round? Those are fun and seem to get a good response! Or maybe we could go with the general Caffrey-Burke Day idea and just have Round 50 be a prompt round devoted to Peter and Neal, since they're the heart of the show?

And again, apologies for vanishing. What I should've done was made a post like this months ago, but I was still thinking I might find the time and inclination to run an exchange. The answer to that, apparently, is nope.

If anyone would like to run an exchange, or has ideas for something special for Round 50 that would require less work on my part - I'm happy to run something if it just requires moderating a post; I just don't have time/inclination to run an exchange right now - please comment here! :)
