We are thrilled that you’re a contributing member of this community, and we are growing. We do, however, prefer to ensure that every contribution receives the love they deserve.
If &/or when (hopefully “when” for those outside of the “if” category) you decide to write up a post, please try not to schedule or publish random or spur-of-the-moment posts at or around the same time as others. You’ll be able to see the scheduled posts in your dashboard. Also, please try to remember that we have regularly scheduled posts. They usually have a two hour gap for anyone to schedule or publish posts on the hour between them (specifically for spur-of-the-moment posts based on current events that need to publish the same day):
- 6am – DOT;
- 8am (either Tuesday or Thursday and sometimes Wednesday [only Lemmy knows what day it is around here]) – Wednesday Steel;
- 10am (Mondays) – Coffee Break;
- 10am (Saturdays) – Brain Drain;
- 12pm – FYCE (Travel & All Rise on weekends);
- 2pm (Wednesdays) Back to One;
- 2pm (Thursdays) Dirty Business;
- 4pm (Fridays) – Happy Hour;
- 5pm – DUAN;
- 7pm – NOT (Sometimes later than 7 as @brightersideoflife has several brighter sides to their life).
If you’d like to write any of the regularly scheduled posts (or create your own) let us know via private message. If you’re unsure when would be a good day/time to put up an unscheduled post, feel free to save it as a draft and PM a member of the editor’s group. ( The motley crew of editors are SplinterRIP, MegMegMcGee, Hannibal, KeitelBlacksmith, Butcherbakertoiletrymaker, and Elliecoo.) They will make arrangements for it to get scheduled at an appropriate time. Other than that, post as your heart desires!
Also if you want to write something feel free to reach out and cover one of many of the NOTs!
You are also welcome to do Coffee Break and Happy Hour if the mood strikes. Or you’re sick of the trivial crap I post. PM me if interested.
*Free to a good home*
Seems as good a place as any to ask if anyone would like to take over Friday night DUAN posts for the future? Recent updates to the post editor have made it quite difficult over the last month or so to build posts on my phone. 😿
You’ll still pop in to comment, right? 🙁
Yes, I’ll still be around. I’ll also keep doing posts as long as I can if no one wants them. I just can barely get them to format lately so it’s kind of an uphill battle.
/raises hand/
I’d like to write some posts.
However, thanks to rotating shift… it wouldn’t be easy for me to keep a sched.
You can write them anytime and schedule them to post any time in the future. If you look at your dashboard, there are FYCE posts scheduled in December already.
And the controls for writing and scheduling are pretty easy to use and understand.
We at FYCE are a prolific bunch…and we have a spreadsheet!
Oh my god, you turned this into a JOB?!!?!
…I see you’re unfamiliar with the recreational variety of spreadsheet
@SplinerRIP, all the stars…
Arrg, @SplinterRIP, above.
Spreadsheets are THE BEST!!! (aside from Calendars!😉) for keeping track of stuff, and keepin’ it all straight…
‘specially when one has ADHD, and other folks around you can’t understand/decipher the blizzard of Post-its around one’s computer…
Or the very technical filing system, known as “the pile,” or “the stack” from which any competent ADHD-er can produce the *exact* document needed, in approximately 0.00023 seconds!😉😈🤣
…I like to refer to that as a 4-dimensional topological filing system, myself
…provided nobody messes with it it’s surprisingly effective?
Surprisingly effective, although it DOES tend to drive others nuts, annnnnnd “it doesn’t look professional!”😉😂🤣
But any good ADHD’er will tell you, we KNOW where anything we really need is in *the filing system that looks like a hot mess!*🤣🤣🤣
Hence…. SPREADSHEETS!😁
You’ll never convince me, that they weren’t originally thought up by someone who needed to show their bosses that, “Yes, i really DO have *a system* going on here!”😉
The Spreadsheet is The Great Motivator, for me at least. The future spreads in front of you, and there are many slots to fill, so, if you’re me, you revisit the past with an assist from your Better Half and dredge up all kinds of memories. It is cathartic, in an EST kind of way. It’s also why my FYCE posts almost always have a back story attached, but that is for all of you to enjoy or ignore.
@ManchuCandidate Were you replying to me- are you interested in Friday DUANs or were you replying to Myo? I still can’t tell the difference in replies sometimes
Anyone.
Cool. Just pm me during the week anytime you’d like to do a Friday DUAN. Hannibal is covering for me next Friday, but just let me know if at any other time you’d like to fill in.
ill stick to leaving my rando posts in the dead of night for yous…im in nobodys way there 🙂
if and when they happen that is…not like i plan them
It’s not “rando posts in the dead of night,” when you are *strategically filling the overnight void,* Farscy!😉😁
I’m gonna be that guy and point out the irony of this post taking up the first post slot for days. Or is it only happening on the mobile version of DS?
