Did you know that........

[trixie-chick.livejournal.com]

....there's about two and half weeks until deadline for round 009? Wow, I so did not know that. Yikes. O_o

Now you know!

We were hoping that someone would be willing to organize some chats!! It'snottoolate!! *coughs* If anyone would be willing to take charge, please comment here... and... ANYONE who is INTERESTED in chats, please comment here with days of the week/dates/times that are good for you!! That would be so helpful. ^_~

And!! for chat-posting-needs, we have this GORGEOUS banner made by blue_cage!



i modified it slightly from her original design to make it general to any chat date!

if you like, when posting to open a chat, you can use the following code, which will allow people to just click the banner to open the chat window. ^_~

Thankyousomuchbluecage!!!!! ^_^




And please, PLEASE keep in mind, ANYONE should feel free to open a chat and post here to invite folks in. We usually use the chatroom name "blindgo" for ease and convenience.

Happy writing/procrastinating/panicking!!

I just read the first part of this and went "Er... whut? O_O" D:

As always, I'm willing to host a chat as long as I'm home. ^^ Wednesday-Monday I generally get home from work about 10:30pm-11pmish. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I have off so it can vary, but USUALLY I'm home by 6 or so if I go out. And that would basically be... until I crash, really. That's been anywhere from 2am to 5am lately.

....and all of those times are in EST, btw. ^_^;;;

r-really?? sorry!

well... as you're the only responder... eep... please feel free to open a chat whenever would be good for you! maybe once the ball starts rolling, things will liven up.

thank you so much for responding, too!!!

Just say when and I'll join in if I'm around: the later you 'crash' the more likely I am to have got up!

I don't need to install AIM on my computer do I?

[trixie-chick.livejournal.com]

^_^ should always be posted, so... look forward to it!

ahhh, yeah, chats have always been in AIM... i dunno if AIM has any... web-based interface... *looks*

if you use facebook and would be willing to sign on with your facebook ID, looks like you can do that
there's this site (http://www.iloveim.com/), but you do need to have an ID for one of those clients.

same here (http://www.koolim.com/)

you can google "web based aim client" or "web based aim messenger" to get more/more info. ^_~ (http://products.aim.com/products/express)

Ooh la la!
That looks complicated :)

Facebook = Boo hiss :(
I think I'll try 'KoolIM' with google talk and fall back on AIM installation if that doesn't work.

[blue-cage.livejournal.com]

Ah, I hope to see you in chat soon~♥

[lacygrey.livejournal.com]

Me too!
I was too late to the party yesterday. I'll try to catch it next time.

[lacygrey.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I turned up late and missed the party :<

Though I did learn that its relatively simple to get on-line AIM and find the chatrooms.

Unfortunately I had to skip the banner, as my browser doesn't seem to understand that AIM and LJ can interact. But anyway, I find that you can just go to http://chat.aim.com/ (http://chat.aim.com/) and make yourself a 'screen name' in order to use the chat.

Excuse me if I'm stating the obvious to those more experienced with such things.

Hope to see you all next time.

Scrub that, it doesn't work. It should do but it doesn't. 'AIM express' at this site only lets you chat with individuals or the main groups already at the site. At the present time (and I hope they fix it soon) you can't use it to get into the private chat rooms like blindgo :(

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

Nah, no worries. Just the standard "crap, I haven't started" panic. Nothing to worry about. XD

Probably friday/saturday night, it seems like before when we've done this, people have said that those are the best days.

No problem~ :D

[trixie-chick.livejournal.com]

ooooh, ok, i understand. and. i feel your panic. =X meep!

yay, thank you!! ^_^

[blue-cage.livejournal.com]

I'll try to get a chat started this weekend, depending on how the fujoshi con and the work sched turns out. :P

[trixie-chick.livejournal.com]

thankyou!! ^_^ have a good time at the con!!
