Round 84 has ended!!

[lolmac]

Round 84, affectionately known as Fred (but never as Freddy), is over!

Tell us what wonderful things you accomplished this weekend! I saw a lot of lovely new members and lovely, well, not necessarily old, let's say veteran members, and much much wordage and other accomplishments! Now's your chance to boast of your prowess.

Please also take a chance to thank our lovely and tireless Mod Squad, who kept the hourly posts going. We did not drop ONE SINGLE HOUR in this round! (Some of them wobbled a bit, but hey, nothing cracked.)

Your mods were:

juliet316, the Pinstriped Fish Defender, who won this month's crown as Champion Usurper with TWELVE posts
dbskyler, the Slayer of Alien Fish
justice_turtle, the Ninja Pirate Prince/ss
thisbluespirit, the Bringer of Penguins
glinda, the Supreme Tea Temptress
idlewild, the Grand Vizier of Coffee
agirlnamedtruth, the Supreme Temporal Wrangler
lullabymoon, known as Dances-With-Nemeses* 
and myself, lolmac (Beth), known as Queen Mod.

Please give a very special an fervent shout-out to justice_turtle, whose tireless enthusiasm coaxed the 'Rush back into life again. TURTLE ROCKS!!

Many happy thanks to everyone who participated. Please keep an eye on this comm and watch for a new poll to choose a weekend for an April round. I think it's clear that the Rush is back with a mighty roar, and we have plenty more good rounds ahead!

*(even if the Nemesis is no longer there in the house, you can still dance, right?)

Tempting as it is to just drop that gif and run, I will stay long enough to thank the mods, you guys did an amazing job, WE HAD A POST FOR EVERY HOUR GUYS! That never happened on the rounds with schedules, let alone free-range fic rush. I personally am loving the new usurption based format and hope it stays. Less pressure to remember what you're doing (a problem I seemed to have more than most, oops) and more chance to go with the flow and have some fun seeing who was going to post next.

Personally, I got 1566 words down. No lemons as such (I'm trying to bring that term back) but it is build up to lemony-lemoness. I got involved in two fandom things, I signed up for a prompt table and I submitted some noms for an exchange, which probably means I'll sign up for that too. I had some really good, distracting food. I had a blast with you guys!

I give Fred five stars, would rush again <3

The term "lemon" (in this context) is new to me, but I'm happy to, um, embrace it, so to speak!

It passed me by too when it was a popular term but, sort of like Fred, I’m growing rather fond of it. It seems random yet at the same time, memorable and distinctive. Plus it makes me want a glass of lemonade every time I say it and I love lemonade ^^

ETA: if you want snow, dude in icon, the Arctic is definetly the wrong place to look. It’s all on top of my car o.O
