lolmacHas ANYONE seen or heard from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
studyofrunning since early June?
I know that people can and do fall off the intranets for longish periods of time, for various reasons, including Computer Fail. But there's been nothing on this comm since the June round ended and the July round poll was done -- not even a confirmation of the poll results. She hasn't responded to PM, and I haven't yet located anyone who's able to get in direct touch with her.
For obvious reasons, I'm very worried.
For the comm here, which I know is very important to us (in addition to studyofrunning herself) --dragonessa24 gave me posting access here, and has offered to make me a Maintainer of the comm so as to keep the lights on. I'm willing to do that, or to step aside for another if someone else is interested and able to put in the time.
Of course, if someone can tell me "Oh, she's fine, she just won the lottery and hitched a lift with a dishy bloke in a police box", then my month will look a great deal shinier.

Round 9 Ends

studyofrunning.livejournal.comThis was a great round. Five new people randomly showed up in the same weekend, which was great, plus lots of you regulars who I've enjoyed hanging out with every month were around again. All the activity made it really easy to be all enthusiastic cheerleader!mod this time. :D
lullabymoon not only took over the second night for me, but miraculously appeared on the first night just as I decided that no, staying up all night probably wasn't a good plan. Many thanks for that!
The comments of this post are for bragging. Talk about how much awesome fic you wrote this weekend. That's also a good place for any suggestions, feedback, etc. that you might have.
If you've got something finished and posted, there's a fic gallery where I collect links. (The fic gallery is totally optional. It just makes me feel useful as a mod. :) )
And finally, the Round 10 poll. This poll is open to anyone who might participate next month, whether you've ever participated before then or not.
A note about choosing the 3rd & 4th: in the US, where the 4th of July is a holiday, fic_rush will end from 5PM to 8PM on the 4th depending on your timezone. If your celebrations start and end with going to the nearest city to watch the fireworks, that's just barely doable. Unless it wins by a lot of votes, I'm unlikely to choose that weekend.
[Poll #1575154]

Post here if you're planning to come write. It fills my inbox and makes me feel popular.
I could also use someone to post from 6 AM to 1 PM GMT both nights. If you know you'll be around for part of that time and you don't mind taking over, let me know in the comments.
See you all then.

Round 08 Timing Poll
Mon, Apr. 19th, 2010 01:38 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comI asked, and almost all of you prefer to keep polling for the best weekend each time.
(Since some people mentioned effort, posting a poll really only takes a few extra minutes on my part. Once a month. So it's really not a problem at all except if I forget to do it on time.)
[Poll #1553191]
And of course you can leave comments if there's something you want to add or ask.

Round 7 is Over!
Sun, Apr. 11th, 2010 05:13 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comRound 7 is over. Here you can brag about all the stuff you wrote. Huzzah!
Thank you topitry, lullabymoon, and dbskyler for running the comm overnight. <3
As for Round 8, before I put a poll up I want to ask you guys if you'd rather keep polling for the best weekend, or just pick something like "the last weekend of the month" or somesuch and stick with that.

Round 7 Begins
Fri, Apr. 9th, 2010 04:36 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comTechnically it doesn't start for 25 minutes, but I like to get the first posts up early so they'll be here when you look for them. The first hourly post is already up at fic_rush_48. When you're ready to start writing with us, reply to the most recent post in that community. Good luck with your writing projects, and I'll see you over there.

Thu, Apr. 8th, 2010 06:15 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comThis is your last-minute reminder. Round 7 of fic_rush starts about 23 hours from when I'm posting.
Also, an important correction. fic_rush runs over the weekend, neatly all day Saturday & Sunday if you happen to be in GMT. In my one week reminder a few days ago, I said that the round runs the 9th & 10th. It actually runs the 10th & 11th, and a bit of the 9th if you're in the Americas. Sorry if I caused anyone to think it was starting tonight. I would have corrected it right away, but I only just saw it.
If you want to confirm that you'll be around this weekend you can do it here. Signups are entirely optional and only exist to make me feel popular.
Also I could use a couple volunteers to post overnight, around 6AM to 2PM GMT, give or take. (I should really come up with a system for this at some point.) If you know you'll be around for part of those hours and are willing to make some hourly posts, let me know.
Remember that GMT itself has no daylight savings time, so if you live somewhere that you think of as GMT, your own time is probably off by an hour right now.
Hope to see you all tomorrow.

Round 7 starts in six days.
Sat, Apr. 3rd, 2010 05:43 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comAccording to our poll, most people can be here next weekend. So Round 7 will be April 10th & 11th. It runs midnight to midnight GMT as always. For some of you, that will be an hour later than it was before.
I would have warned you sooner, but I was kind of assuming you'd all vote for the end of the month again.

Boingy Platform Assessment Post
Sun, Mar. 21st, 2010 05:02 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comRound 6 is over! Celebrate your successes this weekend in this post. Met goals, writers' block defeated, even something done and posted for the fic gallery? I want to hear about it here.
Huge thanks tololmac, glinda_penguin, and lullabymoon for making the hourly posts overnight. And at really short notice, too. This weekend would have been a lot harder without you guys. <3
This is also where feedback for next time goes.
Here is the Round 7 timing poll. As always, anyone hoping to join us next month is encouraged to vote, even if you're not a member or you've never done fic_rush before.

Round 6 Reminder
Thu, Mar. 18th, 2010 06:46 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comLast-minute reminder: Round 6 of fic_rush starts in about 22 hours. It runs midnight to midnight GMT, all day the 20th & 21st. In American time zones it starts Friday evening.
There will be another post here when it's about to start.
If anyone can fill in for some of the hours from around 6 am GMT to 2 pm GMT so I can get more sleep, that would be awesome.

Sun, Feb. 28th, 2010 01:23 pmstudyofrunning.livejournal.comSorry for not posting this sooner. Things have been kinda busy. The poll was a tie so I went with the sooner of the two weekends.
We go midnight to midnight GMT, but some parts of the world (like the US and Canada, but not the UK/Europe) will be on daylight savings time. That meansfic_rush will start and end an hour after some of you expect it to.
Anyway, this is the post where you can let us know if you'll be around on the 20th & 21st.
