Basically, you will have the chance to look through the list of Neocolours members and write up a little positive note about everyone you wish to! Then, following the alphabetic brackets below, you will send those 'fuzzies' off to each bracket leader. At the end of the deadline, the bracket leaders will combine all the messages for each member and send them a PM full of their fuzzies - completely anonymous! You can send out one fuzzy, or send out 50 - it's completely up to you. It's just a way to spread the love around Neocolours - after all, we are the greatest forum on the entire internet ;) All know this!
Sounds good? Good!
The Deadline for Warm Fuzzies will be midnight NST on July 12th!
It's a bit far away, but since it's summer, lots of people will be traveling, and I want everyone to have plenty of time to get their fuzzies in. This is over a month away, which should be plenty of time! I'm picking noon because that's what we did last time, and it seemed to work out - mostly because the three of us running the brackets were all hanging around then and were encouraging people to get their last minute fuzzies in ;D
The Bracket Leaders for fuzzies this year will be Bon, Tom, and myself! The brackets we are in charge of are as follows:
Tom: Numerical-H
bonecrivain: I-Q
Jessibean: R-Z
This means if you have a fuzzy that you want to send to Tom, you would send the fuzzy to me, since I'm the leader of the R-Z group.
Here are a few guidelines to make things easier!
• Please try to send all of your fuzzies in one PM! This will make our inboxes a lot less crowded. Of course, if you forget a fuzzy or two, don't worry about sending an extra PM.
• Please use the -full- username of the person you are sending fuzzies to! For example, (Angharad)Ty would go under "A", and therefor be sent to Tom, NOT me! Try to remember to use peoples' usernames as well, as opposed to real names or nicknames. It just keeps everything more organized!
• Fuzzies will be anonymous by default. If you wish to have your username included, please say so in your PM!
• Double-check to make sure you're sending your fuzzies to the right bracket person! I remember last time, Adi, Riddler and I were constantly having to forward PMs to each other. The reason the brackets are broken up this way is so none of the bracket leaders are spoiled about their own fuzzies!

To quote Adi from last time, who was quoting Enri from the time before that --
All of us will try to get the fuzzies out as soon as possible after the deadline. I know July 11th seems like a totally random day, but I swear, it's not - it's because it's a Saturday, and having Saturday night/most of Sunday should be enough time for us to get the fuzzies sent out =)Here's a more detailed example of three PM's you could be sending out. A good format would be to start with the person's name, then put their fuzzy afterwards. Leave a space, and do the next person. If you arrange your warm fuzzy PM's in alphabetical order we will worship you. Oh, and they can be told however you like. You can write them as if you're speaking directly to the person, or you can make it a more general statement.
PM to Tom
123Coolperson - You're so cool! Never before have I encountered such coolness in a person before.

Zebrastripes - Zebra's a really unique person, I like their music tastes and they've always got such cool avatar and siggy sets.
Also! I am personally volunteering to send out reminders for fuzzies if you would like them! If you want to receive reminders (constant reminders ;D Not daily, but often!), please let me know and I'll add you to a list :D I will send out mass PMs reminding people to get their fuzzies in - I know some people really love getting reminded often, so I know this will be helpful to some!
Questions? Comments? Anything? Just post it here and one of us will get back to you :3 We'll post frequent reminders here too, just so everyone remembers their fuzzies!
[quick note - Jazzy has requested we use her 'Jazzy' username for fuzzies this time around, not Dandelions - so send her fuzzies to Bon for J :3]
