Okay after a random drawing of names from a hat - here's your Blind Date II pairings. (Click read more to find out the pairings)
The rules are simple: the two of you brainstorm out and create a comic in the spirit of Valentines Day. Define "spirit of" however you want (we're not going to be as strict as the WCCA is with the Romantic Comics category).
We will start posting submissions on Valentines Day (February 14th) on a first-in, first-up basis and keep posting them as they come in through the month of February. I'd prefer to post the comics at frightnight.org to prevent future link-rot, but I can link to something posted elsewhere too. Either way email me at xerexes AT comixpedia DOT com with the essential information. The absolute deadline for turning in Blind Date II comics will be February 25th.
Also try and link up with your partner early next week - if you have trouble getting connected or someone quits talk to me next week and we'll try to sort something else out for you.

If you have trouble finding contact info for your partner (first, check their website and try to contact them thru their Comixpedia user id, if they have one) email me and I'll see if I have their email already.
I'm just going to give a heads up.
That's ok
First in, first posted will be the procedure. We'll try to space out the posting of the Blind Date comics to give everyone maximum exposure.

Alrighty
Rules?
Not really
No rules on content really. Other than your conscience and your government I guess :)

The "blatantly advertised" email [which I'm assuming is the "E-Mail the Author" link] sends off to john@basilflint.com, not the basilflint@gmail.com. So... that's probably why you never got my email.
Email Me!
If you're having problems finding your partner email me at Xerexes AT comixpedia DOT com.
I'm going to email Troutman this morning for you.

Thanks!

EEZY, if you're out there...
EEZY, if you're reading this, I need you to get ahold of me soon. I emailed you via your site, and would have PMed you if you were registered. Thanks, and talk to you soon!

I'm getting confused!
If you're in the I want to do this but missed the signup date (last Friday) feel free to try and connect with a partner this week - if you do have a pairing please email me so I can add you to the official roster.
After this week's grace period though I think we'll have to call it officially closed.

Is it too late to take part?
Sure
Well it is late (Friday was the deadline) but sure - I'll do art for ya or if some other artist steps up on Monday we'll pair you off. I guess I'll try to arrange pairing throughout Monday - but Monday's the last day!!! :)

Must not have...
If you're not listed up there and you wanted in I'll still try to arrange pairings the next couple of days. If the writer from Eat the Roses still wants to go (he posted above) maybe you could pair up with him? Were you going/able to do art?

Oh I want to do the art. I've been wanting to draw something I wan't writing for a while, but didn't want to spend too much time on it- so this is perfect.

Well, Eric got to you first...
But if he decides he doesn't want to do it, I'm here.
I write Eat the Roses btw (http://www.eattheroses.com). But it's on hiatus as the artist has gotten busy, so I have time. :)

Easy...
Easy there - it's the law of odd numbers and the pick of the draw. I've already been pretty clear up there - either we'll pair you up with someone else who wants in on Monday or I'll be happy to play.
Don't worry it'll all work - just chill until Mon/Tues...
