lolmacNovember starts tomorrow!
The November round isn't until the weekend of the 29th and 21st, but I thought it would be fun to have a check-in at this time.
What are your plans for the month? Are you doing NaNoWriMo? Miniwrimo? Picowrimo? No writing at all other than the 'rush weekend?
Share your goals and we'll cheer for each other! Cause that's what we do, and we're damned good at it.

Round 11 is over!!
Sun, Oct. 17th, 2010 05:07 pmlolmacRound 11 is over! We had glowsticks and penguins and crackfic. And people wrote and edited and posted.
Many many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lullabymoon , glinda_penguin , isdon_isgood9 , and dbskyler , who all took shifts and kept the joy going. And a grand salute to the Admiral, studyofrunning !
So this is your chance to brag about it! Be sure to sendstudyofrunning the details of fics so she can update the fic gallery.
And if you haven't already voted in the Round 12 poll, heck, why not?

lolmac Birthday Round Begins
Fri, Oct. 15th, 2010 04:34 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comThe first hourly post for Round 11 is up at fic_rush_48. You can go there and say stuff and then write. It's pretty cool.
Also, one of you should explain about the new tag system. It looks like old rounds get bunched together when there are enough of them, and current/future rounds get a * in front for attention. Yes?

Round 11 reminder
Thu, Oct. 14th, 2010 08:00 pmlolmacLess than a day before Round 11 begins! We will start at midnight GMT, not midnight London time, now that I have learned the difference. *hangs head* I thought I could tell time, but the problem is that sometimes it doesn't listen to what I tell it.
And I tell you all now: I need some help this weekend, covering shifts. Specifically, I need help with the following:
Midnight GMT Saturday - 8 am GMT Sunday
3 pm - 4 pm GMT Sunday
8 pm - 10 pm GMT Sunday
Here are some fine websites to help you figure out when that is in your timezone:

Round 11 dates
Sun, Oct. 10th, 2010 12:00 pmlolmacAaaand we have a winner!
My Arbitrary Ruling is that Round 11 will be next weekend, the 16th and 17th of October. See you then, I hope! Remember, anyone packing more than three singing Sontarans in their carry-on luggage will be required to pay extra (and provide earplugs).
If you haven't already voted in the poll for Round 12, well, what are you waiting for?

lolmacOkay, we're currently in a dead heat. I'll wait until the end of the day today (my time), and then make an Arbitrary Ruling, unless there's an influx of new votes establishing a clear preference.
Round 11 final dates: Sudden Death Grudge Match!!
Thu, Oct. 7th, 2010 11:00 pmlolmacWell, the poll for the October round ended up in a near-tie, so I'm going to call upon our Honoured Members to vote in a Death Match Smackdown! I'll also get the poll for November up right away, so as not to be way late (as I am this month).[Poll #1629033]
Possible dates for Round 11
Sun, Oct. 3rd, 2010 12:00 pmlolmacWell, there's definitely interest in having Round 11 in October, which means Round 12 will be in November. So, when shall we all meet again?[Poll #1627160]
studyofrunning is OKAY!!!
Sat, Oct. 2nd, 2010 11:00 pmlolmacHey, everybody! She's okay! She just reappeared on LJ and she's all right!
Um, welcome back, we did another round and it was great and WE'VE MISSED YOU!!
Um, welcome back, we did another round and it was great and WE'VE MISSED YOU!!
Round 10 is Over!!!
Sun, Sep. 26th, 2010 05:00 pmlolmacWow, what an amazing round! I lost count of how many people we had and just how much everyone did -- not only writing, but editing, posting, and especially tackling those lurking unfinished fic projects that tend to bulk up and get scary when left in the corners.
So remind us. This is your chance to brag! What did you accomplish? Remember, high word count isn't the only joy -- any and all progress is cause for celebration.
This is also your chance to give feedback, and my chance to shower thanks ondbskyler, glinda_penguin, and lullabymoon, who traded off modding with me, and without whom I could not have done this. And a salute to studyofrunning, the founder of fic_rush .
I'll post a poll to choose dates for Round 11 within the next few days.
I may need to redo the fic gallery, since it's a post understudyofrunning's user ID, and I don't have editing access to the post. Accordingly, please send me a PM with the following information on fics to add to the gallery, or any changes to make to fic entries already listed there:
-fic title
-link to the fic
-the name or username to credit the fic to, if it's not the one you're posting with
-fandom(s)
-main characters/pairings
-rating/warnings
-spoiler warnings, if applicable
-what round offic_rush you wrote it for
-word count (if it's a WIP, please give current and expected final word count, if you can)
There's no limit on how many fics you can have listed, nor how long after a round you can have a fic from it listed. Any fic in any fandom qualifies, as long as you worked on it during a round offic_rush .

Announcing Round 10!
Thu, Sep. 2nd, 2010 10:00 pmlolmacThe votes are in, and Round 10 will be the weekend of September 25th and 26th, from Friday midnight GMT to Sunday midnight GMT. This was the weekend on which the fewest people were unavailable.
The following Wonderful and Amazing people have offered to help with hourly posts:dbskyler, glinda_penguin, and lullabymoon -- please join me in wild cheers for them, because I would not be able to do this on my own. Can the three of you let me know when during the weekend you're likely to be available, and we'll parcel out the hours accordingly? I'm on the Pacific coast of the US, so I'm particularly going to need help during the wee hours (in UK time, that's from 10 am to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday). I also have a commitment that Saturday evening my time that will take me AFK for a few hours then.
If you think you'll be able to participate, please reply to this post. In addition to the people who will be writing, there was plenty of interest expressed in dropping in and leaving distracting comments, so I fully expect to see plenty of tomfoolery. (It is not necessary to sign up in advance for tomfoolery.)
And a final postscript on the TwitterFace topic: the ticky boxes have been suppressed for this comm, but if you're viewing this page through your Flist, or in your own style, you will still see the things unless you fix it in your own LJ (because the settings in your LJ will override the settings in this comm). The amazingly easy-to-follow instructions are right here.
Also, I have no plans to emigrate to Dreamwidth myself; I like LJ, and I expect the PTB to respond to the smacking they're currently undergoing. Especially since the smacking is only going to get harder they longer they wait. *evil laugh*

FYI on Facebook, Twitter, et al
Thu, Sep. 2nd, 2010 05:00 pmlolmacLet us all thank the marvelous kirsty841 , who pointed me towards the code to turn off the damned ticky boxes for cross-posting comments to Twitter and Facebook.
I have used it to turn off the feature in my own journal, and in all the comms I moderate, including this one and thefic_rush_48 comm. Also rda_daily and macgyverdeleted .
If anyone is actually displeased by this -- you wanted to be able to cross-post -- well, PM me and we'll talk. But with any of the comms, you'll have to talk very convincingly. Each of us has to make our own decisions about privacy and public exposure, but I don't feel that any of us has the right to make that decision for others. As far as I'm concerned, if a post in a comm is cross-posted, that exposes everyone in the comm, and the others didn't have a say in the decision of the cross-poster.
Okay, <end> soapbox mode.
I'll post the results of the poll to pick our next 'rush weekend later today. I will, of course, cross-post it to Facebook, Twitter, National Geographic, and assorted tabloids, as well as chiseling it onto a monolith on the surface of Mars. But only if everyone who's ever posted to the comm agrees retroactively, after having taken a ride back in time to leave their decision in a time capsule in my bottom desk drawer.
*checks drawer*
Nope, nothing. Oh, well.
