Daylight Savings Time Reminder!!!

[dawn_felagund]

The United States and Canada switched to daylight savings time this morning. The United Kingdom does not change to daylight savings time until March 25, and since we use GMT for our schedule for B2MeM, that means that, for some participants, the posting time for new bingo numbers changes, as does the time when old numbers are closed.

Until March 25, new bingo numbers will be posted no later than 8 PM EST. Old numbers will be removed no earlier than 8 PM EST.

I'll post another notice when the times change in the UK so everyone remembers to adjust their schedules again, if necessary.

Lol, the only problem for me is that new cards will now be posted when I'm in class on Thursdays (I have Chemistry Lab from 7 pm to 9pm Central Time). The extra hour is nice though...it probably will be.

Aha--got it! :D So you're one of the ones who waits for me to post the new number each evening?? ;)

[ladybrooke]

Yes, it's my way of relaxing after each crummy day (I have no idea what I'll do after this and Script Frenzy are done.) :)

Camp Nano, of course! (Good luck with Screnzy!)

[ladybrooke]

I plan to do that! Both sessions of it, in fact :D (But it still lives me lacking something in May...I have a need to be constantly so busy that I have no free time, or I end up thinking too much) (Thank you! Do you do Nano and Screnzy as well?)

[independence1776]

I've done (and won) Nano every year since 2004. Screnzy I've never done; I dislike scripts.

I'm doing June Camp-- as a rebel, only going for 25k. I want to rewrite my 2010 Nano (the legal within the Nano rules way by not looking at the old story). It changed plot on me every three chapters, and I want to see if I can salvage something from the mess. I figure 25k is a good benchmark for that.

What to do in May… There's a ton of prompt communities out there; I can give you some links if you want.

Wow! I've only done NaNo once, last November, which was the first time I'd ever really heard of it. Scripts aren't my favorites, but I like them just enough to have written one for a contest (mainly because I like winning things), so I decided to give Screnzy a try.

Cool! I wish I had enough motivation to go back and revise any of my old stories. The only one I really want to rewrite was written around 2006...25k sounds like a good benchmark to me too.

Thanks, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love links. I'll be out of school then, so I need more to do each day. (Cue my friends asking if I'm insane, since I already have two major projects for that month. ;p)

I actually found out about it through fanfic! I was reading a Harry Potter one, and the author said there would be no updates in November due to it. I read that in December 2003… (And at that point, sign-ups were only open in October and November.)

I like the characters and world, so if I can figure out a plot, I'd eventually like to try to get it pubished. Glad it's not just me who thinks that's a good place!

All righty… Here you go! Again, sorry for taking so long.
