Here, there, everywhere.
We'll be glad to have you join in, Lapinou. :hi:

You might consider trying out the chat room ahead of time, to acquaint yourself with it. There are info threads on the AW Chat rooms here and here. Hope this helps. :)

Thanks, Sara. I'll have a go with them this evening, when my kids aren't around to distract me! :)

Fact: sent file to next month's admin, the talented 10trackers, who will distribute via email to crit group members.

Fact: Saturday afternoon, not so good for me!

Fact: Sunday is Mother's Day in the UK, so Sunday afternoon might not be a good time for some members (as was suggested, maybe in chat).

Fact: I'm fine with Monday 3pm.* Could probably do 2pm at a pinch.

* That's 3pm BST (British Summer Time = GMT + 1).

Lapinou, could you pm me your email address so I can include you in the email?

I've peeked at it, and people, it's gonna be good!

Does Sunday 10th April at 3 pm BST (2 pm GMT) suit everyone for the next crit chat? Sundays would seem to give the most number of people the chance to attend, and beginning on the 10th would avoid Mother's Day, as well as give us a little longer to critique Derek's story.

My children have an important event next Sunday and I have a horrid feeling it's in the afternoon :( I can't check right now as my husband has put the important piece of paper somewhere I can't find it and I am far too lax to have remembered to put the times into my diary! I can let you know very soon as he's only at the park with the children so he'll be back soon.

However, 3pm on Monday will suit me absolutely fine if it suits everyone else too.

Haahaa too funny! Boss, were you just de-throned without even a fight? Ten, that's so cute, haahaa.

Event is 1-3pm BST. Could make a 4pm one, or a morning one, if you're going with the Sunday.

Oh wow, when did it happen? I thought I still had the magic wand in my hands! One never knows who to trust...
This is supposed to be a good thing, we knew you were busy!

Laur didn't know??
Y'all assumed she was too busy and never said a word to her??
That's messed up.

Not even an email or a PM or anything to say you were going to, after 15 months of service :cry::cry::cry:

There, out of the door. Not in the chat? Not friends anymore :cry::cry::cry:


Let me get this straight.
SOMEONE decided Laur was to busy for admin.
Kicked her out, w/out so much as an email. Is this correct?? She's too busy to receive an email, msg, rep?

Please fill me in, bc I'm pretty sure she got the 5k to crit. Guess she ain't too busy for that, eh?

Ooh, there were crossed wires somewhere, I bet. Nothing malicious or unfriendly. Except from Derek, who, don't forget, is a Dark Lord. *grabs Laura tight*

Lapinou, it's okay to miss a crit chat now and then (or more often; no one's ever been kicked out for not being able to attend) - real life often interferes. A problem with Mondays is that it generally prevents anyone with a Monday to Friday day job from ever attending. But, if we can fix a time on Sundays (which, on the whole, seems to work for most people), that would be good. 4 pm GMT, everyone?

May I just add that Lauretta is beating the crap out of me in chat over this. It's all my fault. You know what they say about assumptions -- they make an ass of u and... mptions.

As in? Someone forgot to tell me or was even busier than me to drop me an email? Sophia, thanks for trying, but please.

And I would like to add, just for legal evidence (as Derek would say):

Also, if Laura feels a fulltime job and running the circle is too much, I don't mind helping out :)

I'm fine at the moment with running the admin stuff, not a lot to do anyway.

So, who's next volunteer? :D

Laura, I'll hold him down, you kick him in the nadgers!

I meant crossed wires as in missing reading some posts (those in particular - I know I skim over posts, and don't always see them all), and misusing words. AFAIK Derek just sent the file to 10 to distribute, that's all - you're not replaced as admin! It was just for the file distribution.

Please don't think the worst! Come into chat, and I'll help you beat up Derek some more. He's currently begging for mercy - I reckon we can break him!

Oh, this is upsetting. :(

I was just sending out Derek's piece because he sent it to me and it's already March 30. There was no talk of chat admin-ing or anything.

BRB, sitting in a corner and crying.

and before I forget again...

Hello Lapinou :D Welcome aboard, kiddo.

'Cause we were talking about it in chat, and I needed someone to sanity-check the file to make sure it would open OK for others, and I thought it would be saving some time, and 10 kindly volunteered, and now there's more drama here in this thread than in the damn story excerpt!
