Might have to worry about necro rules too.

much better idea to just edit the Directory OP then

_< Not sure if this counts under preparations but with it, roughly starting probably before I get home from work, trying to decide what vial to start with.

Going with Vial strain, Mutre Futre (typo), new strain, and then seeing how things look before I plan the next move ( pretty much, things went well and there's time, another planed strain, Things went buggy but there's time, Random with list )

I've only got one vial left to take. XD

That's been going pretty well for me the last couple of Survivals: I can infect myself and get right to biting as soon as I hear the news!

One of my favourite quirks about the vial strains is that none(?) of them is a full-body skin, which is quite rare among the biting strains (only Naughty Nip and maaaaybe Love Bug come to mind) so you can do some cool effects by putting different-coloured bases underneath... Some of them look very different over white or black (or green? etc.) bases than they do over the skin-tones!

PS: (double-posting as my previous ramble is irrelevant to this news) XD

Plushies for last years' strains are already uploaded and ready for your signature (if you have room!)

Ahh it's going to be starting today-can't wait. I ran out of room in my signature to put plushies for all my strains. Can someone refresh my memory- If I choose a new strain right away I would have to wait until it says I'm infected with the strain before I could put on an old skin and bite someone, correct?

Side links are up on the homepage, y'all! It's so close I can taste it!
