Hurt/Comfort Advent Prompt Claims are Open!

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

As that funky monkey says in The Lion King: It is time!

Time for those participating in this year's Hurt/Comfort Advent to claim a prompt if they so desire.

How to do this? Why, head on over to the prompts post, peruse the list you find, and lay your claim by replying to the prompt you want.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Participants DO NOT have to claim a prompt - they're just there in case anyone wants to use them.

2. Participants DO NOT have to fill the prompt they claim, because, hey, sometimes the muse she is fickle. HOWEVER, if you will not be filling the prompt, it would be polite to come on back and say so.

3. For reasons of #2 above, if you love a prompt and would like to register your interest in beings its runner-up, go for it.
