There's still time for another round before the end of the year - and there's usually plenty of writing going on in December. So...

[Poll #2058288]

P.S. Can I have a new tag, please?

Tell us of all the marvelous things you did (and what you wrote in between those things!) in the comments!! Big thanks to all of our Mods - and we hope to see you at Round 81!

I have Even More respect for [livejournal.com profile] lolmac now, let me tell you. I'm just glad no one is on summer time at the moment!

I've covered what I could - mostly the European daytime hours - partly because I am craving stability and the knowledge that someone should be there to welcome me, and partly because those are the ones that tend to become a single-handed marathon in a free-for-all.

There are slots available for usurpation - if that isn't exciting enough for you, it may be possible in other hours but (as it says on the sign in our printroom explaining how to remove things from the printer queue) I am not responsible for any altercations that may occur! :)

I wasn't clever enough to do the thing with the names - and apologies if I have lost or misplaced your Pretentious Title.

Round 80?

Do we want a round this month? Do we want a round this weekend, which looks like the best one? We might shine a little spot of light into a dark month - or just make me worry about Yuletide a little bit less!

I'm not appointing myself in charge - anyone is welcome to make up the schedule, or decide to do without - I'm just one of the people who happen to be currently in the afternoon rather than the early morning...

However, if you would like me to make up a timetable, then mods please comment with your availability by this time tomorrow (4pm GMT, 11am EST, 8am PST, etc.) - I can post a list then, and hours unclaimed at that stage will be free for all unless claimed in comments. (I'll be away from just after that until some point on Saturday morning, my time - so someone able to make a first post would be especially useful.)

Round 80 . . .

I am a wreck.  I can barely function at all, and I can't plan or help with a round.

Please, if you want a round this month, have one.  I'll look in if I can.

Hello, my friends and fellow 'Rushers --

There was no October round because I more or less lost October: my wife's mother went into hospice care. She's been failing rapidly (dementia), so it was not a surprise, but it was unexpected. By the time I emerged, October was almost over. The funeral is this coming weekend.

And now, it's November, which means Nano, which means (I trust) that we need a round even more!

This is an exciting month, with Yuletide signups and Nanowrimo plans and ghoulies and ghosties and sneaky changing clocks...

Round 70 will be this weekend!  Who will be around?  Do we have enough mods that we should revert to formal shifts, or shall we continue with our madcap free-for-alls?

Are we back from the distracting wilds of summer to the let's-get-going-again days of autumn? I don't know - it's definitely cold enough here...

Round 78 will start tomorrow at the usual time, and will be a usurp-a-thon, with a minor change.  This brilliant suggestion is from [livejournal.com profile] ylla:  there will be "anchor posts" at Hours 12, 24, and 36.  If need be, I will make these posts, but now is the time to call dibs on them if you wish!

Hour 12 is 7 am Sat EDT, noon BST, 1 pm CEST

Hour 24 is 7 pm Sat EDT, midnight BST, 1 am Sun CEST

Hour 36 is 7 am Sun EDT, noon BST, 1 pm CEST

Open for bidding now!

Round 78 will be this next weekend, August 20th and 21st.  It's still summer (well, northern hemisphere summer), so:

[Poll #2052041][Poll #2052041]

Personally, I've really enjoyed the usurp-a-thons, but I don't know if I'm in a minority or not.

We may possibly have misplaced more hours this round than any other, but hey, we reached the end!  Overflowing kudos to the Improv Usurpation team:  [livejournal.com profile] xandromedovna, [livejournal.com profile] ylla, [livejournal.com profile] glinda_penguin, [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon, [livejournal.com profile] lothithil, and especially the Marathon Usurper, [livejournal.com profile] a_q!  (As well as myself, [livejournal.com profile] lolmac.)

Tell us all about your successes!

Keep an eye on the comm for the next poll, and we'll see each other next month!

Round 77 will start in 7 hours!

As with the last round, I'll start it off, and then it's a free-for-all.  If anyone wants to usurp mod who has not done so before, ping me and I will make sure that you're able to post.

Round 77?

Responses were light to the last poll -- possibly too many melted brains from summer heat -- but there was some interest in having Round 77 this coming weekend, the 23rd and 24th.

Who is up to the challenge?  Maybe we can get the ninja penguins to fetch a LOT of ice . . .
