Paging everyone with Skype! by

Yes, Sara and I have got together and decided that a Skype meetup this weekend would be an absolutely fantastic idea. Nice and relaxing. The scheduled meeting times are Friday and Saturday evenings/nights.
I'll be around from about 6 p.m. GMT onward, so if everyone who wants to join in emails me their Skype address-name-thingy (or post it on here, if you don't mind it being generally known) and then pokes me on Gtalk or MSN around that time, we can get started.
However, to quote hS, "But we're the PPC -- we don't just do 'relaxing'. No, we need to add a side order of 'insane'."
Therefore. We propose badfic readings. "The Eye Of Argon", of course, is just too tempting an opportunity to pass up, so we will be covering that one evening.
The other evening, we will be doing several shorter ones. "legolas by Laura", of course, will be making an appearance, alongside "300 Batled for the Alamoe", which Sara suggested. If anyone else has a favoured little fic they'd like to hear read out, post a link here and I'll ad dit to the list.
My email, for those who want to send their Skype names, is cassie dot dramateacher at yahoo dot co dot uk (with slight lterations, obviously).
Hope to see you there! -
How'd the meetup go? by

I'm guessing it was pretty fun. Did anyone try to record at least part of the 'fic readings? It would be a good way to kill time, that's for sure.

Somehow I thought it was Saturday and Sunday nights for you. So I missed the Friday one. Erp. I'll try my best to be on... *counts* twelve hours from now. Sorry, guys!

I think you've got my name? If not, I can always send it.
Should be fun! -
I don't think I do, actually. by

If you would send it long, that'd be very useful :)

Not sure if I can, but will try. by

I think you already have my Skype name, if not I can send/post it. If I can drag myself away from food and family soon enough (we're having a late thanksgiving) I'll be there.

Since he's got a lot of shit to drag over from the squat, and will need someone to hold the loft hatch open while he hauls all his stuff up there. But if we're done in time, I may put in an appearance.

Wish I was available at around that time... by

Skype badfic reading sounds very, very fun. Sucks that I'm busy with intrusively-scheduled school-related stuff and miscellaneous other things this weekend, I really wanted to join in. And the time is very inconvenient for me, because it would be 8 in the morning here and I like sleeping in... Ah well. Maybe some other time.
Maybe someone could try to record it somehow? That would probably be a Very Good Thing for people who aren't available but want to listen. Like me. -

I'll be working from late afternoon to midnight both days, so I can't. Ah well, maybe next time.

My skype address is either kasia(dot)shaw(at)gmail(dot)com or lynxihez(at)googlemail(dot)com. I'll be around early Friday evening, if Mum allows me on.

why not this? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3293473/1/RoverandTheSuperWalmart
It's supposedly a Harry Potter fic. If I squint I can just about see the resemblance but apart from that, nada. It's a troll, but that doesn't make it any better. -

I'll have to install Skype on the laptop, but that's not a problem.
(6 PM GMT = 10 AM Pacific Time, if that helps anyone) -
Yep, got yours, and thanks :D (nm) by

Yes. It's high time for more Skype insanity.
I'm waffles.of.doom on Skype, if anyone cares to add me. :D -

6pm GMT is, unless I'm mistaken, 7am for me. So what does "onward" mean - how long do you expect this to go for? I'll try to make it as early as possible, but I'm only human. :)
I think you already have my skype name. If not, let me know and I'll go look it up (can't recall at the moment, I'm afraid). -
I can make just about any time. by

I just said 6 p.m. because that's generally when I get online properly and am willing to do stuffs. I wasn't actually expecting anyone to want to turn up at that time, I was expecting more about 10 p.m. GMT at the earliest for anything serious.
Sorry about that, I should have been more clear. And yep, I have your Skype name. -
No worries - 11am I can do. by

Also, if you'll be back the following morning, I could come back in the evening.

I'm just one man who likes to sleep in, so 7am is a no-go zone. How late is "onward"?

You have mine, I think. by

Unfortunately, I don't know whether or not I'll be able to make it. It's Thanksgiving weekend over here, which means Family Time, on top of which I have homework and an 8-page research paper to write for Monday. {= P I'll definitely pop in if I can, though.

Love this idea, Cass. Just Gtalked you my skype address, if that's alright. Figured it was quicker. No idea what the frell "300 Batled for the Alamoe" is, but this sounds just too fun to pass up. Count me in, please.
