fic_rush is a two-day, multi-fandom ficathon. Unlike other ficathons, there are no claims, prompts, or deadlines. There's just a two-day magic place where you spend as much of your time as possible writing. It is literally a ficathon: a fanfiction marathon.

xandromedovna, WerebunniesBane

falkner, Elegant Flower

lullabymoon, Supreme Yarn Botherer

lilly_c, Clumsy Rhino

desertvixen, Guardian of Deadlines

and if there were any more whose posts got eaten, try and let me know!

At last! Don't forget that Round 160 is next weekend, 29-31 May. Mods, please confirm your availability by claiming an anchor post—that goes for you too, Mod Squad hopefuls who've never modded a Round but would like to!

There was a THREE-WAY TIE for Champion Usurper this Round with 18 posts apiece, but the crown goes to

lilly_c for pulling off an uninterrupted 13-hour streak, which may be some kind of record!

xandromedovna

No, seriously, we're Rushing!

It's almost that time! Just a friendly reminder that Round 159 is next weekend, 3-5 April. Mods, please confirm your availability by claiming an anchor post, and if you've always wanted to be a Mod, we'd love to have you!

Rest assured, ticky box is definitely not holding a knife...anymore! There's another tie this Round but more Mods are available 3-5 April so let's do that! I'll return with the Chart of Temporal Mysteries closer to the time.

xandromedovna

Now that those of us who have to time travel twice a year have (mostly) made it through, we should have a Round! But when?

Curse you linear time! Round 158 is now behind us but it brought with it plenty of writing and crafting and anchor-based warfare. Please tell us what other exploits occurred this Round in the comments! And as always, our deepest admiration for our storied Mod Squad:

xandromedovna, WerebunniesBane

thedarlingone, Rainbow Fairy Godpenguin

lilly_c, Clumsy Rhino

desertvixen, Guardian of Deadlines and this Round's Champion Usurper!

xandromedovna

Why is this bus so wobbly??

xandromedovna

Alright gang, looks like Fic_Rush 158 will be next weekend, 20-22 February! I'm not available for the beginning of the Round, so someone else will need to start the Rush. Mods, please confirm your availability for any of our lovely anchor Hours, or general flitting about, and now's a great time to join the Mod Squad if you're interested!

Ticky box won by a landslide again? Sure Jan... So considering there's a three-way tie and the majority have no strong opinion, we're doing a runoff poll featuring the two January options with the most Mods available and a skip option. This time around ticky box will be celebrating its victory and is not available, meaning you can choose only one.
