Sorry, couldn’t find a Rick Astley version.
I don't know if there is any early acceptance on 1DS's or not, but I have had 4 proposals accepted and in all instances I received my acceptance just a few minutes before the schedule was posted on the website.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Sunday, 17 October 2021 14:48 (two years ago) link
I doubt there is early acceptance was just making a joke since it is that time of year.

1DS alert that I think appeals to forks and me (and maybe others) as well today!
― Leee Tigre (Leee), Monday, 18 October 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
Which one?

Superlative Life, based on the blurb I read before today (I haven't played it yet).

Isn’t that the name of a character from Porgy and Bess?

Grr, finished 72nd %ile, would've gotten all the way to 95th with better moneying. Really hard time identifying the questions that might play hard.
― Leee Tigre (Leee), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 20:39 (two years ago) link
Similar to me, except that my mistake was stupidly moneying sailfish.

I just received a communiqué from the LLama-in-chief.

Also female rock instrumentalists. I was feeling a little unenthused with LL lately but 2022 is looking promising.

LOL and a NYT Spelling Bee one.

Does anyhone ever get both their submiissions accepted? I believe Leee did two last year, but one as co-smith (with forks?). Actually was co-smith of the other one too, I see.
― Through with “What’s the Buzz” (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 13:50 (two years ago) link
No, he never gives anybody two 1DS's in one year.
I am also excited for the 1DS on The Mole; a super weird topic for a 1DS but one of my favorite shows when I was in high school. Though I haven't even thought of it in 20 years.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 14:11 (two years ago) link
Okay, so I should be thankful that I got the one. I am pretty happy about it, although I had already spent a lot of time thinking about my other one recently, especially given the recent documentary.
― Through with “What’s the Buzz” (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 14:30 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I think if you co-smith one or both, he lets you do two (as was my case this year).
In other news, I've qualified for the general knowledge book club championship! First time ever in a mini, I have a feeling I'm going to her pummeled in the championship but I actually have a decent TCA.

Really though my 1ds was a winner, inordinately disappointed

So sorry. It's such a fun, unique opportunity, hard not to get wrapped up in the expectation and get disappointed

I had to talk myself down from the LLedge quite a few times in the past week whilst obsessing about this

Did I say last week? It was a bit longer than that tbh

Looks like I got scooped by someone else who's smithing an RPDR 1DS -- I'm not too fussed because now I can play it and, hopefully, do well in it.
― Leee Tigre (Leee), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:14 (two years ago) link
I’m looking forward to writing the 1DS that got accepted but can’t quite let go of the 1DS that got away. Not sure if I should just forget about it, try again next year, or write it anyway and submit to Alpaca Farm or somewhere else. Probably just the first option.

DO U SEE?
Take heart in that everyone who took part in the VU 1DS went on to create their own 1DS. I know that doesn't make real sense but bear with me.
