fifteen minutes of your time

Because I spent my day shaking, and I know a number of people who are having crappy and/or difficult starts to January:

FIFTEEN MINUTE FESTIVAL

Open from 1:35 A.M. EST on January 10th til 1:35 A.M. EST on January 12th CLOSED

This is something that [livejournal.com profile] nextian originated and that [livejournal.com profile] pushingmetaphor and [livejournal.com profile] deutscheami have also run in those times when it seems like half your f-list could really use a smile. I turn to Emma for the explanation of what exactly this is:

For 24 48 hours, in the comments, post any request(s) you'd like that can be carried out in fifteen minutes or less by somebody on the intarwebs. Answers to questions, drabble prompts, drawble prompts, icon requests, a comment's worth of sympathy, anything you can come up with is fair game. Anyone can make as many requests as they like; anyone can fill them. At the end of the 24 48 hours, I'll personally fill any request left uncompleted, but it would be awesome if other people helped out too.

Pimp this far and wide; the offer stands for the whole internet. Anonymous commenting is on.

(P.S. - If you're not getting the general idea yet, this was the original Fifteen Minute Festival. It's really, really lovely.)

Thank you to everyone who participated! The Festival's officially closed to new requests, but I'm leaving comments unlocked so that conversations can still go on, should people so choose. This was really wonderful. *flings hearts at the entire world, happily*
