Getting shit done.... the comm

[marguerite_26]

Introducing... gsd_rtfn [Get Shit Done - Right The Fuck Now... or maggie spent an hour trying to find a damn name]

Please don't pimp yet... I've got a few posts up, but it's all pretty tentative and I haven't figured all the stuff out!

Please take a look, let me know if you have any suggestions.

I'm thinking that it might work best if we do a bit of trial run week? Anyone interesting in hosting a GSD week this week or next? er... I'd be happy to co-host with someone (I have shit to get done!) but I don't think I could handle one on my own.

Let me know if you are interested and if you're handy with banners and such. :/

I can co-host with you if you like! I wouldn't want to run the first one on my own :S

And I have to GSD too next week.

Edit: I couldn't create a banner to save my life, if that helps :D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

SOLD! Let's do it. Sorry I posted then went off line last night. :)

I'll start writing up the intro post and when you get on line today give me a poke and we can talk about how to do this. Cheers.

How does it look? I didn't wait to get the banner with text, though if one of the banner people below are available today, then I'll swap them.

I'd like to get shit done!

(and if you need me I can help out in modly ways - feel free to conscript me as a part-time minion! Just let me knoww :) )

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks for the offer. I'll totally keep that in my backpocket. ;)

Hiya! Sounds great. One question ... does the week run Sunday to Saturday, with a final wrap-up post on the Sunday? GMT? EST? Some other region's time? The host's time zone? I vote for EST, since you live in that time zone. (Yeah, yeah ... I do too, but that's merely coincidence. *g*)

Another thing ... it suggests that the project must "get done" - would there not be room to have a goal (e.g. 5,000/10,000 words) versus completing the story? I ask because I'd like to use the format to complete chunks of my stories, which may or may not lead to completion.

I'll happily sign up for a week, but I can't do either this or next (this week is busy and next week eldest is home = no time for me), so I'm of no use for the test run.

I am equally useless as far as banners are concerned. *woes*

But I'm excited! *twirls you*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I think when it's run will up to the hosts, but I think I'll encourage a sat, sun or monday start. but if the comms not getting booked week after week, I don't think there's anything wrong with a wed-wed type of week. :)

And YES!!! 5k or 10k goals are perfectly fine. I'll note that in the rules.

I'll post the sign up for today in a bit. ;)

YAY!

Creeping here because rufflefeather asked me to, but I am handy with banners and such. :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

HEY!!! Awesome!!! Let me know if you have time today at all. (sorry I was off line last night.)

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

I do have time today! i'll be on gchat a bit later and we can discuss your needs. (lol this sounds kinda creepy) anyway, it's maybelaterlj @ gmail

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I don't chat very often - by schedule's not good for chatting, but I'll do my best. If it doesn't work out, I'll send you an email. :)

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

Banners I can do and I can host one week too. Just let me know what you need. :D

GSD motivation... I need it in my life.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Let me know if you have any time this morning, kay? I'd like to get an post out for a GSD starting today. :)

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

What are you thinking you would like on the banners. I am around for a bit before I actually go to bed. I have been up for 24 hours straight at this moment. My son's been sick all night, but I am dealing with him and such and will make banners as I go about it.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Oh no!!! sick kidlet. :(

Though I do understand needing to do stuff that is non-kid related at moments like that. :) if you have time, then just adding text to the graphic that is here:

'Get Shit Done
Round 1

@gsd_rtfn'

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

Will this work?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

AWESOME! Thank you, it's perfect. :)

Hope you get some sleep soon. <3

[tabaqui]

Awesome! A trial run sounds good. I love the whole idea. :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

The trails GSD should start today! :)

Will be posting here and to the comm when it opens.

[sheswatching.livejournal.com]

is academia a fandom? can i sign in with my uni papers? 'cause that would be fucking ace, just sayin' :(

ETA: i can do banners no probz, but am too flakey to host.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

ahaha! Well you could always just not tell us what you are working on and we'll still cheer your word count. *g*

Oh! thanks, I'll let you know if I need any banner stuff. :)

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

getshitedone <-- this one isn't

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

:) I'm not a fan of the spelling so didn't even try that one!

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

Haha. Actually, I'm not either. :D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

lol.

But 'gettingshitdone' 'set_shit_done' '_getshitdone' 'getshitdone_' 'GSD'

were all taken or reserved. but funny that I never tried 'shite'

[snegurochka_lee]

Your comm name is my new motto in life. :D

I actually need it this week for hp_nextgen_fest!!!! But if there's no official one, I'll make you host one for me in private I'll just type away on my own and remind myself of the comm name for inspiration. :)

♥

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!!! It's start this morning - as soon as I get the post typed up.

You can post snippets anon even, if you like! :)

Though that shouldn't stop you from making me host a private one. *grabby hands*
