Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

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.

Time to figure out when the next round will be:[Poll #1808046][Poll #1808047][Poll #1808048]Please remember to leave a comment and let me know if you have the full commenting features available.

Join us in fic-writing frenzy!  Right here.

Round 24 will be the weekend of December 17th and 18th.[Poll #1800477]

If you're around this weekend and inclined to write, come join us!  The fic_rush lounge will be open until 8 pm GMT Sunday.  We'll have cookies!  And pie!  And writerly pasta!

This is a tentative schedule for the mini-round next weekend, based on the people who said, in the poll, that they'd be willing to mod.  We're doing this extra roundlet for two reasons:  it's November and some of us want to spend part of Thanksgiving weekend writing, either in spite of or because of Thanksgiving; and it's November and some of us are going to be frantically working on NaNo or some other WriMo.

For everyone who can't be around:  have a lovely weekend, and we'll see you in December!

Based on what I have, I've set up a 24-hour roundlet to run from 5 pm GMT Saturday, November 26th to 5 pm  8 pm GMT Sunday, November 27th.  If more people are interested, we can expand a bit and run later on Sunday.  I'd be very interested in a volunteer who could start at noon or 1 pm GMT Sunday and do 2-4 hours.  Let me know if anyone's interested!

ETA:  many thanks to traycer_ for stepping up to we can run longer on Sunday!!

The first hourly post is up.  Come join us!

Round 23 will be on November 19th and 20th.[Poll #1791379]

Another fine round!

In between the hypnotic giraffes bent on global domination through brainwashing, the purple zombie werewolves, and the glowing, freshly laundered penguins, we had plot handwavium, tea, sugar, gifs, glowsticks, glow that stuck, incoherent blood on the walls, bacon, and cheese.  We had some new faces turn up, discussions of grammar that did not end in bloodshed, and lots of writing and editing and writing and outlining and writing and beta reading and writing and revising and writing and researching and writing!

So post here and brag about your accomplishments!  The writing-related ones, that is.  If you're an accomplished knitter or postcard artist, there are other forums to post about that.

Please take a moment also to thank the Mod Squad: isdon_isgood9, glinda_penguin, pitry, the indomitable dbskyler (who triumphed over an LJ glitch in mid-mod), lullabymoon, idlewild_, and lothithil!

Keep an eye on the comm for the November poll!  We'll be here to support the NaNoWriMo lunatics participants, as well as the picowrimo and mini_nanowrimo and NoWayInHellWriMo people, and anybody else.

Also, it's my birthday tomorrow.  In case anyone wondered.  ;-)
