Musical Chairs BlogFest

Of course you can all join! Everyone is welcome. I don't have much time during the week to plot out the schedule/draw genres, so I'll be doing that early this weekend and will send out msges or reps as a reminder to check the details. It won't start until next week and I'll take the first slot to give you more time to prep. How's that sound?

Yay for additional people. I'll give details btw Friday night and Saturday morn. (Depends on how fun my NYE might be. No worries, I'm boring.)

I can give each person two options to pick from, but if we just say write in whatever genre you want that's different from yours... kinda takes the game/challenge out of it.

Btw, I drew names tonight. I'll post tomorrow with tons of detail, but for those of you wanting to know asap...


1) I clumped us into weeks. Each of us has been assigned to post by a certain Friday in January. (As in, people will check your blogs on Friday, so you probably want to post it Thursday night or set it to auto-post Friday early morning.) If you have an issue with your post date, message me and I'll move you. People are welcome to join up until the end of the month. I'll just tag you on to a later Friday.

2) I put all the genres in a cup. (Yes, I missed some, but I mainly pulled genre names from each of your own preferred genres. Forgive any I overlooked, please.) Everyone had the chance at all the genres. I kept all the names in a cup and then pulled until I had two options that did not represent current genres that you work in. It would be great if you could do the first genre option I pulled, but if there's no way you can do it... try option two.

3) More details and a list of everyone's links is coming soon!

I know it's late, but if anyone drops out, I'd love to hop in.

I mostly write spec fic (fantasy and sci fi) so I'm expecting to get romance if I get in the line-up.

GradyHendrix: Fate assigned you Mystery or Horror. Would you be able to do it this Friday or do you need more time?

Orion_mk3: Tell me your usual genre and I'll add you. Would you be able to do it this Friday or do you need more time?

Regan,
I'm going to have to ask to be moved to a later week, please. Sorry! I just won't be able to do this right by the end of this week.

Thanks!
