Round 17 dates!

[lolmac]

Round 17 will be the first full weekend in May:  May 7th and 8th.

Yes, this may seem odd:  the following weekend had more votes.  But that's only one of the factors that goes into the decision.  I always have to look to see which weekend is the best for the largest number of people, and which weekend is the best for the moderators.  Without the Mod Squad, this wouldn't happen at all; and it's very important to me that they also have the opportunity to hang out for the weekend and write, not just work their shifts.

So we'll gather round the Maypole starting at midnight GMT on Saturday the 7th and frolic merrily for 48 hours.  See you then!

Please feel free to pimp the comm wherever you can!  When you do, can you let me know, maybe in a comment to this post?  Thanks!

I was just making a writing post to my LJ when this popped up, so I've popped a comment at the end to invite people to join us:

Oh, and if anyone's interested in spending 48 hours writing as much as humanly possible, with lots of crazy comment!fic, ninja penguins, glowsticks, and I don't know what besides, fic_rush will be holding its monthly madness on the first weekend of May (7 & 8) - feel free to join us starting at midnight on May 6/7!

(Quoted 'cos it's a FLocked post.)

Oh damn, I absolute cannot do that weekend at all (and I have a big fic deadline on May 23rd!) I will have to badger my f-list into helping me out.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend of fic writing!

Great. I'll write the date in my diary.

I posted about the 'rush (http://manowrimo.livejournal.com/7646.html) on manowrimo! :D

(I'm also going to put up a reminder post on my own LJ/Dwth tomorrow. I have quite a few new friends since the last 'rush, so some of them may turn up! *hopeful*)
