Round 35

[lolmac]

As you may have guessed from my failure to announce it any earlier (also, from the poll), Round 35 will be next weekend -- Thanksgiving weekend in the US.  As usual, it's a great weekend for some and a terrible one for others.

At present, the following mods have indicated that they can be there: welfycat, glinda_penguin, lost_spook, lullabymoon, isdon_isgood9, agirlnamedtruth, and lothithil.  pitry and dbskyler have indicated that they can't mod, and we will miss them!  idlewild_ and chibifukurou, I don't have a clear indication from either of you.  Can you let me know?

In addition:  it's a long holiday weekend for most of us in the US.  Also, it's NaNoWhatever month, and quite late in the month.  Is there any interest in starting the round earlier in the weekend?  If so, weigh in in the commetns!  When would you like to start if you were Queen Mod of Mods, and are you able to mod during any part of that extra time?

Okay, so here's what's going on with me. My sister was supposed to sign for her house today. As far as I'm aware, that hasn't happened yet and possibly won't until Monday. Which means we could be moving her in over Thanksgiving weekend, possibly. I don't even know. So, I will likely be fine to mod my regular on Friday - as for Sunday morning, I'm honestly not sure. I will keep you updated as my family updates me.

As my weekend currently stands I can do my usual stint of 11am-2am GMT either day and I'm also free on the Friday, same hours.

Personally I've just got out of a writing slump and want to make the most of it so I'm up for extra writing time and I'm up for doing more than one mod shift if you find yourself short of mods due to Thanksgiving (benefit of being British, our turkeys run free til Christmas).

going to be out of town all week. I'll be back on Saturday after Thanksgiving, so maybe I can get some writing in Saturday night and Sunday.

Good luck to the rest of the motley crew.

Currently I have no plans for Thursday, will be driving to Indiana Friday, doing family Thanksgiving on Saturday, probably staying there Sunday and driving back Monday. I'll have my netbook with me, and presumably will have some free time, but I've never tried actually writing for any length of time on the little chiclet keyboard. :-/

We are houseguested upon during Thanksgiving, but she'll be gone by Sunday so I could do my usual shift. Can't do anything before Sunday.

I'm still avaliable to mod and able to pick up extra shifts if needed cause Australia doesn't celebrate thanksgiving. However I have no real opinion on whether to start fic rushing earlier. Depending on how many hours you extend it I'll either be just waking up or asleep so it doesn't really bother me :D

Well, if you start on Wednesday, I could mod. ; )

But yes, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be taken up with Family Obligations. But hopefully I'll be able to still drop in for an hour or two here and there, at least to say "hi."

I'll be free next weekend. I don't know if I'll be called in to work during the day of Saturday, but I know I'm working through Friday, so if we start early I won't only be able to take any daytime shifts.

[lullabymoon]

If we started early on friday, I might be able to pop in for an hour or two but I couldn't mod.

For my sunday shift, would it be possible to shift back an hour, ie from 9am GMT to 10am GMT start? I can do the extra hour at the end of the shift.

Replying late, but I'm all for starting as early as possible -- some Thursday fic-rushing would be awesome!
