Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

Round 51 will be the 19th and 20th of April.

We categorically deny all rumours that it will take place at Area 51.  Area 51 does not exist.  No, really, it doesn't.  I've been there and checked.

Round 50 is over!  Our Golden Jubilee was glorious, with 50 shades of gold (give or take a few), plus plenty of writing, editing, researching, worldbuilding, and a fair amount of laundry to boot.  How did you do?  Tell all!  Brag on!

Be sure to thank your Mod Squad:  pitry, agirlnamedtruth, lullabymoon, juliet316, xandromedovna, lothithil, idlewild_, alinaandalion, and myself, lolmac.  Due to various regulars having RL demands, several of us (lullabymoon, juliet316, xandromedovna and I) pulled down multiple shifts, and everyone had to deal with extreme timey-wimeyness due to my having messed up the schedule the DST time change in the US.  So special golden kudos to all!

Once again, it's time to play . . .
( Spot the Scheduling Error! )

The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of modding schedules.  Specifically, it's time for me to update the Master Modding Schedule and ask you talk of many things involving time zones and availability.

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!


( here be questions )

Yes, it's time to grab a glowstick, bake some cookies, and play . . .

( Find the scheduling error!! )

Psst -- Xavia, you have two shifts, not counting extracurricular usurpation.

Time to vote on the next round!

Our options are limited:  not only are there only a few weekends in February, one of them is Right Out for me, because I will be lallygagging in the Florida Keys that weekend.  Feel free to join me if you're in the area!

[Poll #1954763]

Hurry over to the current post at fic_rush_48 before we eat all the cookies!

Round 48 will be next weekend!  Who will be around for modding?

Also:  I'll be updating the Master Schedule soon.  If you're interested in modding but you aren't a regular, or you'd like to change your usual shift, or you have a novel idea for galactic domination, let me know!

Many, many thanks to all those who participated, especially to my fine gallery of Usurpers!  sidlj, justice_turtle, lost_spook, and xandromedovna, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!  We didn't miss a single hour of the 24, in spite of it all being ad hoc.  (Or ad hic, depending on how much had been drunk at any given point.)

We ended the old year and started the new one with a nice creative bang, and spent some time with friends.  What could be better!

Here's to a fine new year for us all!
