I'm going to start this one earlier than last time, to make better use of east-coasters time. We'll be writing in the Discord at 6pm Seattle time Tuesday. That'll be 9pm east coast time, and 2am Wednesday morning in London.
As usual, I'll post a prompt and we'll write for half an hour, and then provide crit- as ever, people are welcome to write in their own time and contribute, or just show up to give crit! -

(Heaven help me.)
Funnily enough, I think I could actually do one this week.
Is anyone interested and available for this Wednesday or Thursday, at some point between 6:30-9:30 pm London Time?
Let me know!

PS: I know it's somewhat short notice, albeit better than 'hey, who's around in an hour?' If it doesn't work out, I'll try to think up an alternative. -

I'd probably be good around 8-8:30pm start too, gives me time to get home get food and sort out anything I need to do.

So far that's one person for 8 pm, one for 8:30, and one unspecified, so I have a feeling the consensus might end up in your favor.

I am very interested! What UTC is London?

Looks like London is currently UTC+1. You can also Google "London time" and it'll give you the current time, which can be compared to yours to get the time difference. Time. Timey-wimey.
Okay, I'll stop saying "time" now.

I'm not in the EU, but ~3:30 PM EST on Thursday - or Wednesday, but Thursday is preferable on my end - works a whole lot better than ~9:00 PM on basically any day of the week. And I do love these timed writings.

At some point could you actually do it at a friendly time for us Europeans who have 9-5 jobs and can't stay up until 2am on a weekday let alone function?

I'm afraid that'd be hard for me to run? Three hours of good EU time is hard for me to set aside.
But this is literally just something that I decided to do because I wanted to see it happen. You, or anyone else, are totally welcome to host one on an EU-friendly schedule, as you see fit! I'd be happy to collaborate on prompts if the host wants to run one with the same prompt, or we could do alternating weeks to give more space for commentary here on the Board.
There's no magic or authority to the All-Writes. The host posts a prompt, runs the timer, keeps the discussion afterwards on track, and writes the wrap-up post for the Board. That's all it takes.
So, I'll turn the request around: I, too, would love to see an EU-friendly All Write series. Unfortunately, I can't host it. Could someone volunteer to host? -

I try to avoid specific settings with prompts, and there's only been a few PPC things written. There's only been a few bits of fanfic written total, actually, most people are doing original work. You are welcome to join!
