Your beautiful and ravishing Co-ML's have discussed the possibility of holding a twelve hour meet up/write-a-thon.

This is just a poll to see if there is enough interest to hold such an event.

Please put YES or NO if you are INTERESTED in writing for twelve hours. Location and time will be discussed upon soon after this poll closes.

I'd be interested! But I'm not sure I'd be able to make it, since I have a little one at home here. Depending on the date and time though, I might be able to send her to Grandma's for the day/night.

Yes I would be interested!
I do not know if I could make the full 12 hours, I might have to come and go, but I think it would be fun!

The 12 hour write ins are a great opportunity to get in thousands of words. Unless I'm having my first-born child or saving the world, I'll attend.

You have no idea how much I loved the 12 hour write-a-thons! 13,000 words in 12 hours? Golden times!

I would be interested, but it's very likely that I wouldn't be able to stay the full twelve hours.

Yes, I would love something like this even if I couldn't stay the full twelve hours. Length of attendance would depend on work.

As long as it doesn't happen on November 14, I'm in. There are already too many other things happening on November 14 that I have to miss, since I have a committed event to go to that day.

I'd be interested but it all depends of when and if my husband has the weekend off to watch after the little one.

Hi, I posted a small intro a few days ago. I will try to get to some of the meets but my limitation is that I am a single parent so it makes it difficult. I will almost certainly not make it to the Nov 1st as I know I have my kids that weekend. But I will try to see what I can do to get to the meets.

I was wondering if we were any closer to determining a date with this?

At this point, I would just like to say I am *outraged* ... yes, *outraged* at the number of people who can't follow directions.

*OUTRAGED*

I mean... it says right there... "Please put a YES or NO if you are INTERESTED in-"

....oh crap, I just used both 'YES' AND 'NO' in this post! Look, now *I* can't even follow directions!

Look, I just did it again! Sonofa!

(YES! I believe the last 12-hour-athon resulted in approximately 8000 words per person in attendance, and in the words of the immortal William Shatner, "Well, maybe I can get behind that.")

(ps. Hoss wants to come too. I told him I'll think about it.)
