fic_rushThis is the annual update, even though it's been about a year and a half since the last time I did it. I'm not sure what planet I must be on, but obviously it has a different length of year.
If you are a mod, or have modded, or would like to mod, or just want to be well-modulated, please comment on this post and answer the following questions. Please give answers in your own time zone, or in GMT -- and tell me which you're using. Please ignore everyone else's schedule at this time: this is all about YOU. Because we're all special snowflakes. Except for Fred, who is a special hailstone.
Please reply even if you've told me this information before and nothing has changed. If I don't hear from you at all, I will take that to mean that you are no longer interested in modding and I'll cry. If you can't commit to a regular mod shift, but are interested in/willing to do occasional Stunt Mod shifts, please say so, but also answer the questions.
If you have never modded at all, or you've been an Emergency Stunt Mod, or a member of the Fic Rush Highly Irregulars, or a Master Usurper, or you modded in the past and took a break and would like to mod again, this is your chance! Crack a glowstick! Set off fireworks! Dress up as a ninja! Remember, mods getfame glory fat wads of cash Pretentious Titles!
Ye Questions:
0. VERY IMPORTANT: What time zone are you in?
1. Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are you NOT EVER available to mod? (Due to sleeping, regular commitments, etc.)
2. Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are the VERY VERY BEST for you to mod?
3. There is no number 3.
4. If your schedule is in mad flux, but you're interested anyway, what's your best guess?
5. Is there a minimum or maximum amount of time that you're comfortable modding?
6. Are you more comfortable with having a set, regular shift that's pretty much the same each weekend, or would you prefer a variable shift, or are you only interested in (or able to commit to) providing occasional emergency usurpation coverage?
7. Are you willing to mod for more than one shift in a 'Rush weekend? If so, can you do it regularly, occasionally, or only when suitably bribed in emergencies?
8. Is there anything else I should know about your life that has bearing on this? (for example: you're a student and your schedule goes through periodic reshuffling; you work on alternate weekends; you're moving to Antarctica and starting a new job on the night shift; you're getting married/having a baby/finding a cure for cancer/marrying a Cancer; you're a clone and can mod twice at the same time, unless you get into a fight with yourself)
9. If you have not modded before, and want to start modding, what do you want your Pretentious Title to be?

Date: 2016-06-24 04:13 pm (UTC)0. VERY IMPORTANT: What time zone are you in?
GMT +8 (Western Australia)
1. Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are you NOT EVER available to mod? (Due to sleeping, regular commitments, etc.)
I really can't think of any. I don't have a regular sleep schedule or work schedule.
2. Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are the VERY VERY BEST for you to mod?
Assuming I'm free the whole weekend and that I didn't get home too late on Fri night (which happens maybe once a month or less), Hours 3-6, 11-18, 35-40. Possibly 6-11 too.
3. There is no number 3.
Okay :)
4. If your schedule is in mad flux, but you're interested anyway, what's your best guess?
Uh, hours 35-40? I'm reasonably sure I'm always home at this time (7pm-midnight my time), since I've got work early on Mon.
5. Is there a minimum or maximum amount of time that you're comfortable modding?
No min or max!
6. Are you more comfortable with having a set, regular shift that's pretty much the same each weekend, or would you prefer a variable shift, or are you only interested in (or able to commit to) providing occasional emergency usurpation coverage?
Emergency Stuntsperson please!
7. Are you willing to mod for more than one shift in a 'Rush weekend? If so, can you do it regularly, occasionally, or only when suitably bribed in emergencies?
Willing to do multiple shifts if I get the weekend off!
8. Is there anything else I should know about your life that has bearing on this?
I'm a researcher, so my work schedule is completely unpredictable - I work anywhere from 9 to 14 hours on a weekday and if something goes wrong during the week I have to go back during the weekend. So I can't commit to a regular shift, but if I manage to wrangle either Sat or Sun off, I'm going to spend it writing so fic rush weekend is just extra incentive.
9. If you have not modded before, and want to start modding, what do you want your Pretentious Title to be?
Uhh my usual title is That Wolfie in the Window (yes, after the song)
