Wheee! The Rushiversary is over! What a round!!

Post here and brag about what you accomplished this weekend! (Note for newcomers: you can post wordcounts, what fics you worked on/posted/etc., progress in general. Please don’t post excerpts. Feel free to boast about editing, beta work, vids, etc., as well as writing.)

Be sure to thank the mods: Beth (lolmac), Skyler (dbskyler), Don (isdon_isgood9), Lost Spook (lost_spook), Glinda (glinda_penguin), Pitry (pitry), Lothi (lothithil), Chibi (chibifukurou), Jenni (lullabymoon), Idlewild (idlewild_), Welfy (welfycat), and especially StudyofRunning, the studyofrunning, who founded this comm three years ago and has returned to be with us again!!

Extra shiny glowsticks to Jenni, whose promotion of the comm brought so many new people to the party!

A special welcome to all the HetBigBangers, who banged away on their keyboards to great effect. Hope to see you again on a future round: hiddencait, sabaceanbabe, cutebunny43, merryghoul, alinaandalion, clwilson2006, agirlnamedtruth, n_e_star, denyce and vikingwriter!

If you’d like to play again, watch the main comm for our polls. We vote each month on the best weekend for the ‘Rush. But drop in any round, whether you’ve voted or not!

And if you’ve got some momentum going right now and you don’t want to stop writing, we’ll attach Hour 43 to the end of the ‘Rush and you can write there as long as you like! There will be glowsticks, cake, writerly pasta, coffee, tea, and alien fish available. Have at it!!

Behold the Schedule, in all its glory!  Let me know if tweaks will be needed.  We have replenished our supply of tweaks and can spare a few without difficulty.

However, I regret to announce some of the mods are still lacking pretentious nicknames.  Please remedy this at the earliest opportunity.  I have supplied a few of the missing items myself, subject to the recipients' approval, of course.

( Schedule under cut )

This round didn't have as many people or as much activity as we often get:  it's a major holiday weekend in the US, and a lot of our regulars weren't able to come.  Others dropped in when they could.  Those of us who were here and got stuff written had a truly EPIC time.  We even started the round with an invocation to the muse, and it doesn't get more epic than that.

If you haven't already voted for when you'd like the June round to be held, for heaven's sake, vote already.

So tell us what you accomplished!  Even if you weren't here!

And please take a moment to thank the Mod Squad:  idlewild_, welfycat, isdon_isgood9, glinda_penguin, pitry*, lothithil, chibifukurou, lost_spook*, and me, lolmac*.  In particular, major thanks are due to Don (who stepped in for Chibi when needed), Pitry (who stepped in for me when I wasn't able to post on time), and Lost Spook, who stepped up from Emergency Backup Stunt Mod to Full Mod.

* If you prefer, you may refer to us as lost_spook, pitry, and lolmac or lolmac.  (Pretentious titles for the other members of the Mod Squad have not yet been formalized.)**

** So get with it, folks!  We need to be ready for the next alien invasion! 

Round 29 is next weekend, May 26-27.  If you haven't already voted in the Round 30 poll, please do so!

Jenni (lullabymoon) can’t mod this weekend. :-( lost_spook, are you able to cover any part of the Sunday morning shift, as shown?

If not, can anyone else?

Whether or not – do you have a preferred name or nickname other than lost_spook, or should we continue with that?


Other than that, let me know if you need your shifts tweaked!

I've been on the road for the last two weeks, with internet access that tended towards the sporadic.  Now I'm home and it's Poll Time![Poll #1840079]ETA: This entry is actually in a Sekrit Code, in which 'May 25th and 26th' actually means 'May 26th and 27th'.  (Thanks, pitry.)

Pssst!!!

Yes, you!  Quick!  Are you a writer?

Whew!  Thanks heavens!  We need you!

Hurry over to the fic_rush_48 comm and we'll explain it all there!

Time for the ticky boxes again![Poll #1829542]

What are you doing here? Waiting for more ticky boxes?[Poll #1828503]
There! Happy now? Come join us on the 48 comm and let's do some WRITING!!

Yep, another poll, to make a final decision about March.[Poll #1820360]
ETA: if both weekends are equally good, please say so in the comments.

The fic_rush Hive-Mind has Spoken, in favour of having Round 26 on the last weekend of February, the 25th and 26th.  We shall Make It So.

Mod Squad, please let me know if the following schedule will work for you.  In particular, pitry, will you be able to do two shifts as shown?
