104 Weeks = 2 Years!!

[tamingmods.livejournal.com]

This week, eight of our goddesses reached 104 weeks: the two year mark. We've decided to do something really special for those hitting two years solid, which includes not one, but TWO awards. The first award is to celebrate the two year mark, which today will go to:

authoressnebula
c_woodhaven
lilithbint
meredevachon
piksa
spikespetslayer
sunnyd_lite
swweeks





















The second award is personalized even more by those who've hit the two year mark. The award base is this:



That blank space is for an image of a Greek goddess, one of the writer's choosing. You'll also be receiving an icon to go with it. Among the many goddesses, you can choose Athena, Aphrodite, Artemis, Demeter and Persephone, if just to name a few. The only two that are NOT pickable are Hera and Gaia; we have plans for those two goddesses specifically down the line.

Don't worry about choosing a goddess someone else has already spoken up for; even if you select a goddess someone else already has, the images will be unique each time, we promise. ^_^ So choose your favorite Greek goddess, comment and let us know, and...ta da!

Congratulations everyone!!! *does two year squee*

Congratulations to everyone, that's an awesome achievement. Looks at the hill I'm climbing and then at the summit - hmm, I've still got a bit to go to reach the heady heights.

Throws confetti at you all.

These are absolutely gorgeous! Amazing! Wonderful!

Thank you so much for another banner that will be proudly displayed on my profile!

As for my goddess, I think that I'd like Athena on my banner. Such a hard choice!

♥ the TamingMods!♥

[lilithbint.livejournal.com]

Thank you,
it has been such a wild ride and I'm going to post my award with pride and bow out while the muse is happy with the pretties. He is well and truly tamed now so thank you.

I would like to chose Demeter please.

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

16 weeks, if I'm looking at it correctly. That's still pretty damn close sweetie. ^_^

But I can't believe we've been going on for TWO YEARS. 0_0 That's really sorta cool, that not only we've been around for that long, but that the comm has! I love this comm so much. ^_^

*dances under confetti*

I'm so glad you like them sweetie; that blue one Calypso did still makes me give a happy sigh. I loves it.

Athena; good choice. ^________^

♥ you back!

~Nebula

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you sweetie! ^_^ I love that blue one like whoa, you have NO idea. Seriously, the way you've got it laid out, and the image you picked...*is all happy*

WE DID IT!!!! WOOT!!! *dances around in a circle*

*hugs back*

~Nebula

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you like it; we've earned it! ^_^

Do you mean done with Taming for good? We would miss you so much!!

And Demeter's a good choice. I love the Grecian goddesses. ^_^

*hugs*

Wow, you guys all rock!

Thank you, Taming mods for all you do.

I can't wait till my week comes, whenever that is. I just take it one chapter at a time and had totally forgotten about this. xx

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

Thank you sweetie; I'm just glad that there's three of us. Seriously, I have two of the greatest co-mods a girl could ask for.

It should be the end of week #107, if I've got it counted right. You've got 101 weeks down right now. ^_^ So yay!

Dude. We've been doing this for TWO YEARS. That still just thrills me.

~Nebula

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I am three weeks behind you guys, so that sounds kind of long, but I don't know how you count.

I am really excited for all of us. This place has been really good for me. Whole stories have been written from me since I posted them here.

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

You are three weeks behind us; I didn't explain that very well, I'm sorry! I meant that the week of 107 would be your 104 week mark, and after you posted for that week, you'd have earned it. Brain, meet mouth; mouth, brain. *headdesk* Sorry about that sweetie, but yeah, you're close. Like damn close.

Me too; I finally finished one of my Buffy WIPs with it, and I fully intend to use this comm to finish my other ones. ^_^ And everyone here is so sweet and eager and enthusiastic about it, which makes doing it a lot of fun!

~Nebula

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Yeah, when I go 50% original, which is in the wind, I'm looking forward to being able to continue here. I now actually run a prompt-story as Jans_sanctuary which is totally always linked here, as Unsuitable Man was, so these are bonus stories for my readers.

Much love. xx

[lilithbint.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie,

my muse needs a break, I've been working him pretty hard and RL is about to get tough on me but I really wanted to make it to 104 and I did
*twirls you*

[meredevachon]

Congrats to all those who've made it to 104 weeks! I know when we started I never imagined any of us getting anywhere near this far.

As for my choice of goddess, she wasn't one you mentioned, and she wasn't originally Greek (although they did a pretty thorough job adopting her), so would it be too much for me to ask for Hecate?

(also, you don't have to use any capital letters in my username)

[meredevachon]

Yea! \o/

Actually, it was seeing yours done lowercase that reminded me. And I figured the default would be capitalization, so if I didn't want it, I'd better say something. *g*

And to you!

[piksa.livejournal.com]

These are so beautiful!

I really can't believe it has been two years already. I've struggled sometimes but this far I've always made it. I do hope that continues...

I would like to choose Artemis

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to all. That is some achievement. *cheers*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Congrats to all of you! :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I'm just going to keep on writing... :D

Thank you!

I framed your icon image like I did everyone elses...but I'm not sure I like how it cut your username off. If you'd like me to recenter the text so it would read 'mere' or something - let me know.

Have a great evening!
~calypso

[tamingmods.livejournal.com]

Your banner and icon are up.

http://community.livejournal.com/tamingthemuse/770434.html#cutid1

I'm so glad that you've stuck with this... and even more glad you're my co-mod. Congratulations, sweetie!


*big squish*
~calypso

[meredevachon]

Yea! :D

If you'd like me to recenter the text so it would read 'mere' or something - let me know.

I'd hate to put you out, but if you really don't mind, 'mere' would probably be better. *hugs*

[meredevachon]

Thanks, hon. It's awesome. :)

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

Hey there! We did it!

Sorry for the delay but my internet's been wacky. If possible I'd love an icon for: Elpis

Wiki here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elpis) She's the (minor) goddess of hope! If it's troublesome, let me know.

WH00T! 2years! *sets off fireworks*

[smwright.livejournal.com]

I know I'm late to the table this week (what else is new?), but I think I'd like Artemis please. And thank you. :)

[tamingmods.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie, don't worry about that. It actually makes it easier because I have been able to do them just a few at a time. Less rush and I'm all over that. =)

I had several Artemis images but none of them reminded me of you...so I went hunting again this afternoon and the one I found really spoke to me. I hope you like it.

Congratulations again!

*hugs*

[smwright.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's lovely! Thank you so much!

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking and given the fact that I write in BtVS, I think I'll have to ask for Tārā. According to Wikipedia, in Tibetan Buddhism she is the "mother of liberation" and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. Seems fitting somehow. Thank you.

Hey there Calypso

For my two year banner and icon I'd like to choose Circe. As the daughter of Hecate (the Dark Moon) and Helios (the Sun God) she appeals as the union of opposities. I can't wait to see the banner and icon - bounces in anticipation...
