Het Big Bang Support Group

[http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/]

Just a reminder that we still have the het_banghelp support group for authors, artists, beta readers, and cheerleaders to congregate and support each other as we work or way toward that ever-looming deadline. It's a members-only comm, f-locked to only those that have officially signed up as authors/artists and betas/cheerleaders, so you have to join it in order to participate. (We empty it out prior to each big bang.)

Last year we had special writing and enabling events, like Snippet Days and Block Writing events, and we'd like to continue in that tradition, but we need someone who can step up to the plate and take on that job. To quote irony_rocks from last year's rules of the comm:

The permanent schedule will be up shortly, but first, what I need is one special individual to step up to the plate, being ABSOLUTELY DILIGENT about following the scheduled (when it is established), and post these suckers up as the summer goes along. It is critical that this person be good with posting regularly and on time. I would appreciate the assist!

Anyone interested? :D


ETA: Here's a link to the entry that describes what we would like to see for each event.

Well, I'm new to LJ, so if you could, er, tell me how to post the entries, I'm all set up! I mean, do I need to be marked as admin or given some sort of special permission to post entries in the group? Or do I just click 'Post to Community' and type in the entry?

Sorry for making obvious questions, but I don't want to cock it up. (:

Oh! Also: What should I do about the dates? Because Block Writing #1, for example, was held on a Wednesday which was May 29, but May 29 is a Friday this year! What do I go with? Date or day?

All members can post to the group, so you should be all set on that. And you can click on the Post to Community link or you can do it through the Post an Entry link on your own journal. If you do it through your journal, just remember to click on the 'To Community' link next to your journal ID name and choose Het_banghelp.

And we should probably just go with Wednesday and Sunday, and I will make a new schedule with the correct dates as soon as you let me know if you can start on the 27th. So this year, we'll have the Wednesday Block Writing #1 on May 27th and every other Wednesday henceforth, and then a post for snippets on every other Sunday starting anytime after that. Does that sound good to you?

And thanks again!! We really do appreciate the help! :)

Yeah, I can start on the 27th! Is there a particular hour at which I should post the entries? Also, I'm on UTC-03:00 but I can adjust to another timezone.

And it is my pleasure! Sorry I'm asking so many questions, haha!

Great!! I'll get the schedule posted in a day or two . . . or three. :)

I suppose you can post the Wednesday events anytime during the day, as long as it's around 6:00 p.m. somewhere in the world. And the Sunday Snippets can be posted anytime during the day it's scheduled. You can check out the ones posted during the last big bang and maybe get an idea that way. Otherwise, let me know if you need more information!
