And the winner is... next weekend, 8-10 November! Mods, please consider claiming an anchor post, and of course if you'd like to try your hand at modding, just let us know so we can give you posting access. 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!

THANK YOU for y'all's patience with this extremely wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey Round! Please let us know what you accomplished this round, and always please thank your mods:

WerebunniesBane
Effulgent Sunrise Dragon
Rainbow Fairy Godpenguin
Supreme Yarn Botherer
Dumpling Procurer (who saved my ass w an anchor post!)
Supreme Tea Temptress

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*

LOL MY BAD COME SEE US HERE

Welp, there was a dead tie, but it took me too long to figure my shit out, SO, Round 97 will be next weekend, 16-18 August! Mods, please confirm your availability or your desire to be a mod so we can give you posting access if you don't already have it. And as always, please fact check the Chart of Temporal Mysteries because counting is hard.

Aaaaaaaand... time! Great work everyone, we made it through Round 96, and even picked up some words along the way! Do let us know what journeys transpired for you over the course of the Round, and as always, please thank your mods:

WerebunniesBane, our current Champion Usurper who modded 30 hours this round which might be some sort of record
Dumpling Procurer
Effulgent Sunrise Dragon, who had an impressive showing of 19 hours
Supreme Tea Temptress
Rainbow Fairy Godpenguin
and of course, the tender embrace of The Void

xandromedovna

Hope to see you on the other comm!

xandromedovna

Hey Everyone! I know this is short notice but it looks like this weekend, 12-14 July will be Round 96! *kazoo noise*

As always, please correct the Chart of Temporal Mysteries and mods, let me know if you're available to anchor! And if you'd like to join the Mod Squad, let one of us know so we can give you posting access :)

ETA: So given the mod distribution and the general short notice, I'm going to declare that the negative hours will be a formless free for all. I'll probably make posts that cover several hours, and if someone comes along who wants to make a new post, great! This way maybe we can have more sustained conversations on one post instead of a string of uncommented posts. I'll return (hopefully) by Hour 0 to wiggle us back into the correct timeline.

Hey everyone, it's been a while so I just wanted to remind y'all that Fic Rush is next weekend, 28-30 June, which also happens to be Pride Day and Canada Day Weekend which means I for one will be all over the place. There's still a couple of anchor hours to claim if you're so inclined, so let me know!

xandromedovna

By a sizeable margin, 28-30 June has been chosen as the dates for the next Rush! Mods, please confirm your availability so I can complete the Chart of Temporal Mysteries, and please consider becoming a mod/usurper! Just let me or one of the other mods know so we can give you posting access :D
