bethbethbeth have noted in the polls for Row One and Row Two already this week, we're drawing the Anti-Fanfic Bingo response challenge to a close after three weeks of lively discussion and intelligent and often downright hilarious responses ("Ah, fuck you!").

Throughout this week, we'll be asking you to vote for your favorite responses to each square, one row at a time. Please check your favorite responses (as many as you like!); we'll be collecting the results and announcing the favorites at the end of the week. I've been assured that there are plans to do something very sparkly with the bingo card and the winners.

Again, many thanks to

ithiliana,

half_elf_lost,

kitsune13 and

cofax7 for creating the card and giving us permission to use it.

If you don't have an LJ, please feel free to leave your responses in a comment below. We'll be including all responses in the final tally!

(Chat One Transcript here.)

(Chat Two Transcript here.)

Saturday, January 19, will be our third OTW chat! This one is for our southern hemisphere friends, though of course everyone is invited. It will take place this Saturday at 8:00 pm, AWST -- i.e., Perth, Australia, time (that's 11:00 am GMT, 6:00 am EST). It will last an hour or so. You can see what time that is for you locally here.

We have a moderated channel on irc.sff.net, #otw. When people enter the room, they will not be able to speak initially. To allow someone to speak, an op will have to give them voice privs.

If you're *sure* you're coming to the chat, please comment below with the name of your handle on IRC. We won't be able to hold the chat unless at least ten (10) folks commit to attending. We'll have questions and comments in the order of these sign-ups. If you'd like to comment *with* your question already to save a bit of time, feel free to do so; otherwise, just sign up here and the floor will be yours. Please understand that we'll probably be going with a one-question, one-two follow-ups format. You can check out our previous chat transcript if you'd like a feel for how it went before.

If, during the chat you find that you have something to add/a side comment/question to whatever we're discussing, simply ping Ciderpress or Beth and they'll voice you accordingly.

And in case you missed these last time - IRC instructions!

NOTE: Please do not ask any technical/troubleshooting questions about how to work IRC in this post - ask your friends, ask your blog readers, whatever, but this is more a really rough starting point for you to use. If you *do* ask questions here, be aware that you're flinging yourself on the mercies of your fellow OTWers because Community Relations just...isn't the group you want answering your troubleshooting questions. *g*

We'll be seeing you soon!
