Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

Round 38 will be next weekend, the 9th and 10th of February.

Mod Squad members (including the Irregulars and any members of the Ninja Squad), if you didn't already do so in the polling post, please confirm if you'll be available that weekend.  (Fun Fact:  Ninja Mods always respond when nobody's looking.)

Let's see if I can get the first schedule of the new year up without glaring errors!

( under the cut )
The Fic Rush Completely Irregulars will, I trust, be on hand if any timey-wimey cracks appear!

The first draft of the new master schedule is under the cut.  Peruse intently and let me know your thoughts on your shift(s).  Some shifts are very different from previous incarnations, others are not.  If you aren't on the schedule at all, it's probably because I didn't hear back from you when I asked for updates on modding preferences.

In addition to the assigned shifts in the schedule, thanks to the truly lovely offers of several new people, we now have a cadre of Fic Rush Irregulars.  In particular, we have the Fic Rush Somewhat Irregulars (FRSI), who mod on most weekends but whose shifts are subject to, well, shifting, and the Fic Rush Completely Irregulars (FRCI), who do not currently have regular assigned shifts, and who I hope will be able to fill in as needed, both for scheduled shifts and for Emergency Stunt Modding.  If you're in either band of Irregulars, please let me know before each round if you're going to be available, and when, so I'll know if I can call on you.

I also have two 3-hour shifts that don't currently have anyone assigned to them.  If you're interested in either of these, do speak up!

Currently up for grabs:

Hour 16 through Hour 18
Saturday, starts at: 3 pm GMT, 10 am EST, 7 am PST

Hour 40 through Hour 42
Sunday, starts at: 3 pm GMT, 10 am EST, 7 am PST

Without further ado:

Hie thee over to the fic_rush_48 comm and make our lives complete with your presence!

It's time, based on my entirely obscure Gaxian almanac, for me to update the Master Modding Schedule and ask Many Nosy Questions about time zones and availability.

If you are a mod, or have modded, or would like to mod, or believe it's a mod mod mod mod world, please answer the following questions.  You can give answers in your own time zone, or in GMT -- just tell me which you're using.  Please ignore everyone else's schedule at this time:  this is all about YOU.

Also, even if you've told me this information before, please reply.  If I don't hear from you at all, I will probably assume you are no longer interested in modding.

- Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are you NOT EVER available to mod?  (Due to sleeping, regular commitments, etc.)

- Out of our usual 48 hours, what hours are the VERY VERY BEST for you to mod?

- If your schedule is in mad flux, but you're interested anyway, what's your best guess?

- Are you more comfortable with having a set, regular shift that's pretty much the same each weekend, or are you happier with a variable shift, or are you only interested in (or able to commit to) providing occasional emergency coverage?

- Is there a minimum or maximum amount of time that you're comfortable modding?

- Is there anything else I should know about your life that has bearing on this?  (for example:  you're a student and your schedule goes through periodic reshuffling; you're about to move to Australia and start a new job on the night shift; you're an alien with three months left of your holiday here, after which there will be a serious time lag on your internet connection due to relativistic time compression)

- For extra credit, use 'penguin' in a sentence.  Creativity counts.

Gah, where has that first chunk of December gone?  No fear, we still have a few options.[Poll #1883548]

The round has started!  Yes, already!  Why are you still here?  Quick, go check it out on the other comm!
