And the winner is... Tiiiiiicky Booooox! *air horns and confetti* However, Tiiiiiicky Booooox has a full calendar this month, so we will hold Round 94 Friday April 19 to Sunday April 21. That's right, Friday is back! Usurpers, sharpen your glowsticks, mods please list your availability so I can fill out the Chart of Temporal Mysteries. If you want to mod/usurp and don't have posting access yet, alert your local admin, and of course if I have disgraced the goddess Calcula in my math don't hesitate to publicly shame me.

Hello again!

We've decided to go with the 72-hour round, which means Fic Rush will commence 0H GMT Friday March 15 and end 24H GMT Sunday March 17! To see what that means for you, please consult the current time in GMT, the master hour lookup (see below for Friday hours), and the time zone converter. Please be aware that your country may have begun or ended Daylight Savings before the round! (Or if you happen to be in Troll Station, Antarctica, changes halfway through the round, good luck!)

Mods, please verify these anchor posts work for you and/or claim others. We have a couple that multiple people requested, and a few that still need a friend. Also, someone please correct my math and geography if necessary.

And the winner is... March 16-17 (Sat-Sun)! There was also a suggestion to append Friday March 15 and make it a 72 hour round that way we can catch Fri-Sat people. Would we like to try out a 3-day round?

Also, here's my desperate plea recruiting spiel for new (or old, we miss you!) mods and usurpers. Part of the magic of the Rush is the hourly check-in, and that is difficult with so few mods strewn about, especially a 72-hour round. So if you want to try your hand at usurping, we'd love to have you! Let us know in the comments a) if you'd like to make this a 72-hour round and b) if you'd like to mod, so we can give you posting access. If you're modding, please let us know roughly when you're available so we can maybe bring back anchor posts?

Hey everyone! As promised, we're getting a headstart on this one because I tend to procrastinate putting these up until halfway through the month a lot of people voted for some of the early weekends last round. Last round was a little wonky, mostly because I probably didn't do a great job of emphasizing the schedule change, SO I figured we'd make it more explicit this poll and also give y'all another chance to express what you think about Sat-Sun Rushes (our normal arrangement: Fri eve-Sun eve in the Americas, Sat morn-Mon morn east of the Meridian) vs. Fri-Sat Rushes (Thu eve-Sat eve in the Americas, Fri morn-Sun morn east of the Meridian). Also, reminder for the newbies that you can absolutely vote for more than one option!

I can probably open and close. Also if you want to try your hand at usurping, let me know so I can give you mod access!

Hey y'all! So there was a request to try out a Friday/Saturday (GMT) schedule this time instead of Saturday/Sunday, and I thought we'd give it a go. If it works, we can add it as an option in the future, and even if it doesn't, we could always use some wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey fun.

ETA: I was mistaken in calling the poll in favour of Jan 19-20; the winning weekend by a longshot was clearly TICKY. BOX. I apologize for this egregious oversight and beg Her Majesty the Queen Mod's and the royal menagerie's forgiveness.
