Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

Wow, there was a lot of activity during this round!  In spite of the UK only getting 47 hours.  Accordingly, after numerous attempts at cloning existing hours, we have launched an Extra Special Make-up Hour, to be used at your convenience.  We will provide aardvarks and cookies, and install a giraffe-proof fence.

So how didja do?  Post here and tell us your accomplishments!

Remember to thank the Mod Squad, without whom this comm Would Not Be:  welfycat, isdon_isgood9, lullabymoon, pitry, lothithil, chibifukurou, idlewild_, and myself!  In particular, welcome back to idlewild_ after her dreary job-driven absence from modding!

Let me know if you need your shifts tweaked, or if I have forgotten your availability or lack thereof!  Worth noting:

The USA and Canada are now on Daylight Savings Time.

The UK goes on DST on Sunday.

Australia is still on DST, but goes off it the next weekend.

Israel is not on DST, but goes onto it the next weekend. Israel, do wave hi to Australia as you pass each other in the temporal vortex, won’t you?

The UK wears a blue flowered hat, lives in a wooden house bed-sit, and likes waffles curry.  The Pacific Coast wears green sneakers, lives next door to the yellow submarine, and drinks coffee . . . oh, wait, that's a different kind of maddeningly obscure puzzle.

Also, Chibi is bringing cookies.

( The actual schedule (contains no giraffes) )

. . . will be this next weekend, March 24th and 25th.  I'll get a modding schedule up ASAP.

Despite nemeses, bonsai giraffes, plotholes, and improbable (and possibly inappropriate) uses for crochet hooks, much fic has been written!  Post here and brag about it!

As always, many many thanks to the mods (most of whom did a double shift this time around!): dbskyler, welfycat, isdon_isgood9, lullabymoon, pitry, and lothithil!  I'm so glad we have so many wonderful people covering the 'Rush -- this absolutely could not happen without you.

If you haven't already, please vote in the Sudden Death Smackdown Poll for Round 27.

Okay, after much fussing and tweaking, I think this will work.  If it will not, pipe up in the comments!

One caveat:  I haven't heard from glinda_penguin as to whether she'll be around, so her shift may not actually be covered.  Anyone willing to keep an eye on that part of the round, please speak up!  Also, lost_spook has offered to be Emergency Backup Stunt Mod. \o/

Cut for length, and has anyone seen the bonsai giraffes?
( They seem to have escaped . . . )

By Special Directive from dbskyler, this was fic_rush.  And many, many things were accomplished!  Vaults were breached, sonic screwdrivers borrowed (and returned), maniacal laughter was stolen (and replaced), cells were escaped from, alien fish were tracked to their original waterfall, bonsai giraffes were planted, nemeses were nemesistic, plot tentacles were detected in previously empty lakes, laundry and dishes were done (maniacally), coffee and tea and chocolate and cake were consumed.  It's been a busy time!

Also, fanvids and icons were made.  Fic was written and edited and planned and plotted and prompted and finished and continued and begun.  TV and DVDs were watched!  Very successfully!  Meals were eaten!  Naps were taken with amazing success!  In the Sleeping Olympics, I'm confident that our team would WIN.

So post here and celebrate.  Brag and proclaim.  And be sure to thank the Mod Squad:  dbskyler, lothithil, pitry, chibifukurou, lullabymoon, and especially welfycat (who modded even though she was sick), glinda_penguin (who modded even though she was sick and also not even on the schedule), and most of all isdon_isgood9, who did her TWO shifts even though she’s badly whumped and on painkillers, and deserves a medal.

And I’m your host, lolmac, and this has been great.

Be sure to watch the comm for the next poll to pick our next weekend!  In fact, watch the comm regardless.  It's tricksy and you never know what it's going to do next.

Round 25 will be this weekend.

And Now For Something Completely (or Slightly) Different:  dbskyler will be starting the 'Rush, because I have a conflict (in addition to my usual Horrid Commute).

idlewild_ will be on sabbatical for this round and probably the next.  Be nice to her when she manages to pop up in the watches.

Let me know if you're likely to have any problems with your shift!  I had to juggle things a bit.
