I still haven't finished writing thank-you notes, or answered the lovely online congratulations I got. Maybe it's time for a round!

[Poll #1930779]

The special Wedding Congratulations Post is now open, right here! Let's send our Queen Mod Beth (

lolmac) and her new wife our congratulations!

(For more information, see this post.)

Hello fic rushers! As you probably know, our Queen Mod Beth (

lolmac) is getting married this Saturday, August 10th! So, since she was injudicious enough to grant me access to post to this community and to

fic_rush_48, I thought I would take the chance to declare a special Wedding Congratulations weekend!

My thought is to open a post on Friday, August 9th on

fic_rush_48, and link to it from this community. Then we can take the weekend to send congratulations there to Beth and her new wife. We will likely only need one post, but if we start to hit a comment limit, then I will open up a second post (or perhaps one of the other mods with posting access there will do it for me -- hint, hint).

What sort of congratulations should you send? Anything you like! A simple message, or a gif, or a short fic, or a link to something. If it's celebratory, then it's good!

Also, if for some reason you can't post this weekend but want to send congratulations later, that is perfectly acceptable. There's no 48-hour time limit on this "round"!

Basically, I just want Beth to know that the fic_rush community is thinking about her this weekend, and sending congratulations. Also, if anyone has any other / better ideas for how to virtually celebrate this wedding weekend, feel free to say so in the comments here.

And what a round it was! Queen Mod

lolmac and I would like to give an especially huge welcome to the newest member of the Mod Squad Highly Irregulars,

xandromedovna, otherwise known as Xavia, WerebunniesBane. Please thank Xavia and the other members of the Mod Squad, usurpers and non-usurpers:

lolmac,

isdon_isgood9,

agirlnamedtruth,

sidlj,

justice_turtle,

lullabymoon, and

alinaandalion.

Then tell us what you accomplished this round! Revel in the mighty tales of your achievements and your usurpations!

Hurry over to

fic_rush_48 and join the fun before we have it all without you!

Here it is at last! Not before time.

The schedule is slightly provisional, because I have a vague recollection that

welfycat can't make it, but I can't find confirmation.

Also, there's a remaining gap open at Hours 29 and 30, which I hereby declare to be Open Season for Usurpation.

( Let's play Find Beth's Scheduling Mistake! )

Round 43 will be the weekend of July 20th and 21st.

Mods, if you haven't already, please confirm whether you'll be around that weekend -- I know a couple of people won't be able to make it.

As most of you already know, I'm getting married! Specifically, my partner and I are getting married on August 10th, in the Seattle area. (We have to get married in Washington because we already have a Washington state registered domestic partnership. Also, it's pretty there.)

I'm going to be a little distracted in August, as well as a lot AFK.

Accordingly, I will not be planning, coordinating, or otherwise doing anything about an August round. If people would like to have Round 44 in August, do feel free to do so. Otherwise, we'll take a month off and resume in September.

Time to pick a weekend! I'm afraid the choices are limited, because I'll be out of town for part of the weekend of the 27th.

[Poll #1922775][Poll #1922775]

How did you do? Did you accomplish an improbable wordcount? Discover the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, or at least some novel approach to smut? Make podfic or icons or at least some nice hot cups of tea? Accomplish research or editing or invent a new form of mathematics?

Tell all! And take a moment to thank your mods:

sidlj,

isdon_isgood9;

agirlnamedtruth;

pitry;

lullabymoon;

alinaandalion; Stunt Mod and Fic Rush Highly Irregular

seriesfive, and myself,

lolmac.

See you next month! When we might actually be not quite as silly. (But don't count on it.)

Come join us at the latest hourly post at

fic_rush_48!

Based, where possible (and in many cases, even where not possible) on stated modly preferences:

The Universally Meaningful Schedule:

( Don't Panic! )

Round 42 will be the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd, in all probability and almost all improbability.

Mods, please let me know if you will probably attend. For extra credit, answer the following question:

Would you be mostly likely to be turned into:

- a bowl of petunias?
- a self-aware sperm whale in free-fall?
- a self-replicating sentient Roomba?
- something else? (Explain, expound, or expostulate. Please do not exterminate.)

Yes! We have reached the Truly Meaningful Milestone:

ROUND 42

[Poll #1916123]

How did you do? Was your weekend filled with words? With prompts? With penguins? Tell us all about it!

Please help yourself to an extra glowstick as you leave, to see you through the gap until our next round, and thank the Mod Squad before you go:

isdon_isgood9,

agirlnamedtruth,

justice_turtle, Grand Usurper

sidlj,

lullabymoon,

alinaandalion,

seriesfive and myself.

Keep an eye on the comm for our next poll, for the Universally Meaningful Round 42!

We're starting the round! But our lives are unfulfilled without you there. Please join us!

This is the birthday round and commentficathon for Lost Spook, the

lost_spook. Come join the party!

A new game of Find the Error, now featuring extra players! Go!
( a cut, a cut, I do confess . . . )

Round 41 will be the 11th and 12th of May. Not all the usual mods will be available, so please let me know if you're moddalicious that weekend!

Time for a poll!

[Poll #1911455]

How did you do? Did your fic writing get usurped by any emo teenaged Daleks? Did you click your ruby slippers three times and get whisked away in a red Type 40 TARDIS (special edition)?

Tell us all!

Please take a moment to thank the Ruby anniversary Mod Squad:

isdon_isgood9,

agirlnamedtruth,

justice_turtle,

pitry,

lullabymoon,

alinaandalion,

lost_spook and myself. Special thanks to

seriesfive, the newest member of the Irregulars, who cheerfully went on stand-by as an Emergency Backup Stunt Mod, and to

sidlj and

pitry, who graciously shared usurpation duties.

Welcome!
