Weekend Challenge volunteers, please!

Jan 04, 2018 09:46

OK, I'm getting this one in quickly. I have fairyniamh down for the coming weekend (I emailed you, Fairy, so just let me know!), but I need volunteers to run the challenge for the first half of the year, so sign up here ( Read more... )

weekend: challenge, exclaim: help!, admin: mod post

You know I'm in!

1/ as many as needed
2/ weekend of June 8-10 (trip is still tentative, but better safe than sorry!)

Thank you, my dear! ;-)

I volunteer and yes, I'm actually going to be an adult and say that you can schedule me for more then two--maybe three? I'm feeling braver :)

The only weekend I can not is Feb 3rd/Feb 4th

Thank you! It wouldn't be more than 3 in a half-year, anyway, probably, as long as we have enough volunteers!

Cannot-do noted! ;-)

I should be able to do at least 3...
I think only Easter weekend will be out (since its just before my bday so there may be plans)...I'm not aware of any other limitations at the moment.

Awesome, thank you!

I'd love to help out with these more often, but the same problem I face as a potential leader for the weekend challenge is the same issue that keeps me from even trying to participate in them more often as a writer or artist: Time frame. I, and so many others too, work the weekend. Fridays can be killer and leave very little time for anything else ( ... )

I'm so sorry I didn't respond to your comment in the poll! It's a very valid point and I don't think you were the only one who mentioned it. So what I am thinking we'll look at, instead of opening the post early, we will leave it open for people to respond to by the end of the week following, which I think will solve the problem for you, yes ( ... )

Instead of calling it a Weekend Challenge, calling it This Weeks Challenge? I can do that.

haldoor January 5 2018, 01:37:10 UTC

We'll keep calling it the Weekend Challenge, but it will last a week, as I said in my email to you, in case anyone else should read this and wonder! ;-)

I did not get an email, but I am ready for this weekend.

You can pen me in where you need to, Minus All of February, the first weekend of March, and all of June.

haldoor January 4 2018, 07:03:01 UTC

Thank you! And I wonder if I have the right email for you? K and I will be emailing soon about modding, so now would be a good time to check.

Also, yay for this weekend! Can I ask you to have a look at my reply to katleept above? It would be great if you could change the 'fill the challenge by' to the end of the week after you post, i.e. have the closing date for entering the challenge as next Friday (12th), or if not then, at least Thurs 11th? It's going to take off a bit of pressure from those who work weekends but would otherwise like to join in. Thanks!
