I...may or may not participate? I prefer not to make these kinds of decisions until the very last minute. XD

asdhalkfhalksfh YOU GUYS HAVE CRAPPY TIMING. I have karate that day, but I'll try to come in a couple hours later. xD (We're not going for 24 hours straight, obviously. ...Right? XDD)

You have the full 24 hours to write -- you don't need to start right when the time starts, but then you have a couple of less hours to finish. The ending deadline isn't flexible, though.

And the chat will be up (I assume) the whole time, so you can join when you get there and flail with whoever's awake.

Mmkay... I'll pop in probably a little after 8 (Jemz's time). About the White Day remix, too: how does that work? *doesn't exactly know how to remix*

We posted a good set of guidelines up on the main post, but basically what you do is take a story and you re-write it, not by changing the plot and characters, but writing it from another point of view, or expanding on some scenes that were only hinted at beforehand.

If you want some examples, I would hit up remix_redux, which is a huge panfandom remix. Look through the tags for a pairing/fandom you know (no JE that I remember, but there are so many fandoms that there's got to be one you've got a passing familiarity with XD), read the original story, and then read the remix to see what the author did with it.

EXCITING.

is it really 2 am in London? because last time I think it started at 6 pm London time, and it said 8 pm in the post. idk. I looked up GST, and it said that GST is -2 from GMT. I feel confused.

I would like to participate, but considering my sleeping pattern and the fact that my classes start that day, I'll have... 4, maybe 6 hours to write. :/ *sighs at life*

I don't know what the correct letters should be, but I know that London is 5 hours away from NY, so yeah, it would be 2am.

[rolling_scone]

so it's ten there right now?

[musikologie]

Yup. :)
