It seems 27-29 Mar is the winner for this Round! Of course, in keeping with the general WTFness of our current situation, this Chart of Temporal Mysteries is particularly timey-wimey because most of Europe goes into Daylight Savings in the middle of the Rush (thankfully that happens the same Hour and not staggered #smallblessings). Needless to say, I owe all the favours to any winners of Spot the Error, and may Calcula have mercy on my soul.

Well, this was certainly a Round! Glad we could all spend leap weekend together ~~even if the penguin strike team confiscated an entire day's worth of Hours and chucked them into the Void to balance the calendar~~. Please let us know what all you accomplished this Round in the comments, and as always, a hearty applause for our mods:

And what a Round it was! All sorts of fantastical things occurred over the past 100 hours, including the incredible feat of only losing 1 hour to the Void! Thanks Time Chicken! Anywho, I'm anxious to hear what all you accomplished at the Dec-imation Jubilee. Please pull up a 2x4 and brag all about it in the comments, and be sure to give a hearty round of applause to our unsinkable Mod Squad, which was truly an all-star team:

WerebunniesBane *cough*Champion Usurper*cough*
Queen Mod
Effulgent Sunrise Dragon
Pinstriped Fish Defender
Supreme Tea Temptress
Dumpling Procurer
Supreme Yarn Botherer and
Her Tipsiness

Also, if you want to add the fic(s) you worked on this Round to our AO3 collection, you can find it here.

Thanks for a terrific 100 Rounds, and may we be here for 100 more! krpoqwerfx!

xandromedovna

Let the Dec-imation Jubilee commence! As always, you can find the festivities at our sister comm :D

xandromedovna

How fitting that ticky box should win the Round 100 poll! In terms of dates, it's a real short turnaround but our Dec-imation Jubilee will be this Wednesday, Nov 27-Monday, Dec 2. Tell your friends! As noted earlier, this Round will be 100 hours, meaning it is vital that y'all check the Chart of Temporal Mysteries. I highly doubt I'll get the math correct on this, so welcome to the Spot the Error Grand Championships! Mods, please confirm your availability and claim an anchor post if you can. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at modding, now's your chance to shine! Just let an admin know so we can give you posting capabilities.

The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of Rounder things! Last poll we decided that the Round 100 Dec-imation Jubilee will take place mostly Thu-Sun, although because we're doing 100 Hours this round, we're gonna place two at the beginning on Wed night GMT and two at the end Mon morning GMT. (Whooo boy the Chart of Temporal Mysteries is gonna be a binch this Round)

Whatever we decide, please encourage all your Fic_Rush friends to vote, and remember to let people know when it's happening so we can make this a true blowout! (And get enough mods to cover that many Hours lmao)

PLEASE be mindful of the Chart of Temporal Mysteries, as Daylight Savings has shaken things up a bit (and as always, correct my math if I have offended Calcula; I don't remember what the traditional prize is for Spot the Error, but I believe it's my undying gratitude)

My beloved Rushers, great blessings are on the horizon!

I'll distribute the poll about Round 99 soon, but after that Round 100 will be upon us! Not only will Round 100 be in Dec-ember, but 2019 marks 10 YEARS of Fic Rush! I for one think we should celebrate this momentous confluence of 10s in style. SO, if I may direct your attention to the below poll, please vote for how you think we should structure Round 100, and what we should call it. We'll vote on the actual dates closer to the time. (Remember you can vote for more than one thing!)

Also, I NEED YOUR HELP! In keeping with the spirit of this Round, I'd like to see if we can bring the whole crew together, including older members who have been carted off by penguins to RL responsibilities. If you're in contact with any of the OG members, please encourage them to join us, even if only for just this Round. Also please consider modding if that's something you'd be into!

and our Champion Usurper is... THE VOID! Please deposit your congratulations into its tender all-consuming embrace.

ETA: Friends, frabjous news from the far reaches of the galaxy! It seems in my general hot mess state this Round, I miscalcuated and the Void was in fact staved off momentarily by this Round's true Champion Usurper, thenewbuzwuzz, the Effulgent Sunrise Dragon, with 24 posts! *biodegradable glitter rains from the sky*
