Free Slots for Weekly Features

Dear Members,
We still have some free slots available in our monthly schedule of weekly features. Would appreciate if you could check what slots are available and nominate yourselves.

Could I interest the new members to step up and take part?

Hi .. I see there is slot available for blogcast , but sorry am not good with this :(. I will listen to old ones and then try. But I could definitely do a photo post for May 26th. That should be easy one 😀

  Hira, we all hate our own voices. We just want to hear you, so we can connect with you better. No one cares how bad you are at it. We’ll love it and you anyway. If you’re hesitating because it is something new, then all the more reasons for you to experiment with something among friends. 🙂 I sure want to hear you talk. Do give it a thought. 🙂
  Photo Post for 26th, should i confirm it for you?
  - Hira 6:52 am on May 7, 2016
    
    26th , Yes. Confirmed 🙂
    - Wandering Soul 8:56 am on May 7, 2016
      
      Done and updated the schedule 🙂
- Heather 11:59 am on May 8, 2016
  
  Before I started doing blogcasts, everyone thought I was serious and angry all the time, but really, it’s just how I write. I’m actually a very goofy and funny person!
  - Wandering Soul 4:20 pm on May 8, 2016
    
    You’ll have to keep reminding that to us, Heather. Having a sciency blog and then that serious pic doesn’t do much for your goofy persona 😛 😀
  - Hira 2:20 am on May 9, 2016
    
    Thanks Heather.. I have to listen to previous entries and check it
Niki's Simple Life 7:52 am on May 7, 2016

I’ll give the blogcast a try for May 21st 🙂
- Wandering Soul 8:55 am on May 7, 2016
  
  Updated! Thanks 🙂
Sadhana 11:37 am on May 7, 2016

Hi, interested for the 100 word story or book review. Please let me know the process.
- Wandering Soul 11:44 am on May 7, 2016
  
  Great! Booking the slot for 100 word story for you, along with @niyati16. The prompt would be shared a few days earlier.
  Book review is not available until July, I’m afraid 😀
  - Sadhana 11:46 am on May 7, 2016
    
    Thanks!! Looking forward to it. 😁

If @drmegsorick or @pamkirst2014 want to skip the one of the creative writing tips, I already have something started I can easily complete. I plan to write up a series of those, so if you all want I can do several going forward.

Q: Do these have to be exclusive to BW or can I publish them on my blog as well?
- Wandering Soul 2:54 pm on May 7, 2016

  You can most certainly publish them on your blog too. Would only request you to do so a day or two later. In fact, if you ‘reblog’ it, that would be best because that way the forum gets visibility too. But I leave it to you as to which method your prefer. 🙂
  As for the exact dates and scheduling, I leave that to the Scheduling Managers @pamkirst2014 @drmegsorick as it’s their feature and they know best how to run it 🙂
- pamkirst2014 2:54 pm on May 7, 2016
  
  We would love to have you join us, Kevin! I say, pick your weekend…are you good with that, Meg? And I think using on your own blog is fine!
  - fictionalkevin 2:56 pm on May 7, 2016
    
    Cool. Give me a date/dates and I’ll do it.
  - fictionalkevin 3:32 pm on May 7, 2016
    
    I can do any one of the remaining weeks this month. Just you or @drmegsorick can let me know.
    - Dr Meg Sorick 5:21 pm on May 7, 2016
      
      I’m only doing one this month – the 28th- so maybe @pamkirst2014 would want to give up one of hers. Also @piyushavir if you need another guest feature, I have a TV show I could review. And yes, Kevin you know which one it is! :p
      - fictionalkevin 5:22 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        Tom Nippleston?
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 5:23 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        THE HEAVY WATER WAR!
        
        fictionalkevin 5:23 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        Oh, that one. Well, that works too.
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 5:24 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        Maybe after my enthusiastic review I will have convinced you to watch it!
        
        fictionalkevin 5:30 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        I can’t get past the title. Is it about two armies hurtling huge blocks of ice at one another?
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 5:43 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        No, it’s about deuterium oxide production in Norway after the Nazi invasion, Werner Heisenberg and his team of scientists and the Norwegian resistance working with the British to sabotage production. Jerk.
        
        fictionalkevin 5:44 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        But their are still ice battles, right?
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 5:45 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        NO! Now stop making fun of my very awesome show!
        
        Wandering Soul 3:55 am on May 8, 2016
        
        No, it’s about deuterium oxide production in Norway after the Nazi invasion, Werner Heisenberg and his team of scientists and the Norwegian resistance working with the British to sabotage production. Jerk.
        
        ROFL. I hope that’s not true , coz if it is I’m not watching it 😛 😀 😀
        
        Thank god @fictionalkevin doesn’t yet know of my love for Derek Shepherd 😛
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 11:48 am on May 8, 2016
        
        Um, actually that is what the show’s about… Just trust me on this! 😜
        
        Wandering Soul 4:25 pm on May 8, 2016
        
        Okay!
        No, wait …. aren’t you the one who killed off David and now Mel is forever indebted to and allied to Anton. Nope. I’m still not talking to you. Actually, that must have been Kevin. You must have been steamrolled into being party to that, I think. Okay, I trust you 😛 🙂
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 7:18 pm on May 8, 2016
        
        Yes, that’s exactly what happened. Sort of. 😂
        
        fictionalkevin 10:35 pm on May 9, 2016
        
        It was Meg’s idea. David was my favorite character…
      - pamkirst2014 5:34 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        I would love to have Kevin take one of mine…Kevin, how about May 21?
        
        fictionalkevin 6:15 pm on May 7, 2016
        
        I just uploaded a draft of a piece on writing narcissistic characters. Are you able to view it? If not I can send it to you for your feedback.
        
        pamkirst2014 2:17 am on May 8, 2016
        
        Kevin, We can only view our own drafts. Do you want to email it to me? I’m at pamkirst@yahoo.com. Love the topic!
        
        fictionalkevin 10:30 pm on May 9, 2016
        
        I will
        
        fictionalkevin 10:34 pm on May 9, 2016
        
        Sent to you and @drmegsorick
      - Wandering Soul 3:53 am on May 8, 2016
        
        Also @piyushavir if you need another guest feature, I have a TV show I could review.
        
        How about on 26th? Would that be ok?
        
        Dr Meg Sorick 11:46 am on May 8, 2016
        
        Yes, that works!
        
        Wandering Soul 4:28 pm on May 8, 2016
        
        Change of plan , Dr. Sorick. Could you save the TV show review for next month. And do Trivia Tuesday instead? Would that be okay?
        Vandana has taken unwell, and despite being sick, has a lot to take care of on the personal front. I’d like to take this off her hands.

        Yes! Sure thing! Trivia it is!
        
        Wandering Soul 7:23 pm on May 8, 2016
        
        Thank you!!! 🙂 🙂 That’s a huge help. @feelings161 now can you stop stressing, please. 🙂
        
        Feelings and Freedom 3:19 am on May 9, 2016
        
        Thanks Piyusha and thanks Dr Sorick. That’s a great help. Really appreciate it!

        Tagging @drmegsorick for above comment.
Wandering Soul 1:17 am on May 12, 2016

@meloheart would really appreciate it if you could post your feature in time. You volunteered for it, no reason for you not to post it in time. 🙂
- meloheart 12:57 am on May 13, 2016
  
  Isn’t it this coming Sunday?
  - Wandering Soul 3:30 am on May 13, 2016
    
    Have you checked the schedule? It’s even up as a separate page, as a ready reckoner. If you don’t remember what feature you volunteered you can look it up there. 😛 How much time would it take to take a quick glance at it? 🙂
    Which nominated feature runs on Sunday? Sunday is 13 words story – the only feature in the week that doesn’t have nominations. How could it have been assigned to you individually!! 😀
    - meloheart 4:37 am on May 13, 2016
      
      Ok m sorry… I have been really busy these days. I had exams for graduation final, which were over just this Tuesday. I will look it up.
      - Wandering Soul 4:44 am on May 13, 2016
        
        No problem 🙂 Just wish you’d told me earlier. Would have handed it over to someone else instead of waiting for you to do it. 🙂 🙂 you can do a blog cast instead. 🙂
        
        meloheart 4:46 am on May 13, 2016
        
        Can’t I do the previous one. Blog casting won’t be possible
        
        Wandering Soul 4:49 am on May 13, 2016
        
        Previous one ? All future slots are booked 🙂 Sorry! 🙂
        
        meloheart 5:19 am on May 13, 2016
        
        Thanks
  - Wandering Soul 5:33 am on May 13, 2016
    
    I could put you in for June, if you can be sure to do it. 🙂
    - meloheart 5:48 am on May 13, 2016
      
      I am not sure anymore actually
      - Wandering Soul 6:06 am on May 13, 2016
        
        Ok, then let me know atleast a day in advance if you’re unable to do it 🙂 Which feature would you like to do? Once you tell me the feature, I’ll check what dates are available. 🙂 @meloheart
        
        meloheart 5:42 pm on May 13, 2016
        
        Alright I’ll try
        
        Wandering Soul 5:47 pm on May 13, 2016
        
        Wonderful! So which feature would you like to volunteer for?
        
        meloheart 1:11 am on May 14, 2016
        
        The feature where I can write a review
  - Wandering Soul 4:06 am on May 14, 2016
    
    June 24th -Book review is free . Should I confirm that for you? @meloheart
    Once again, please let me know at least a day in advance if you can’t do it.
    - meloheart 4:39 am on May 14, 2016
      
      Do I have to make the post in the blogging grp or in my blog thn send a link
      - Wandering Soul 4:40 am on May 14, 2016
        
        Here in the group. Have you never done or read any of the features before?
        
        meloheart 5:06 am on May 15, 2016
        
        No actually
        
        meloheart 5:06 am on May 15, 2016
        
        Though I have read few of the posts I never published mine there.
        
        Wandering Soul 5:12 am on May 15, 2016
        
        Okay! So yeah, just like the others yours will also be here. And later if you want you may reblog it to your own blog too. More information is available in the post about Rules. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
    - Wandering Soul 4:38 am on May 17, 2016
      
      @meloheart Is it confirmed that you’ll be taking the fourth Friday feature – book review slot for June 24th? Should I put that in and close nominations for that one?
surbhisachdeva89 10:21 am on May 16, 2016

I would like to do the blogcast feature on 28th @piyushavir. Please confirm me for that.
- Wandering Soul 6:59 pm on May 16, 2016
  
  Surbhi, on two instances, you had not posted your weekly feature despite confirming it.
  How do I know the same thing won’t happen again!! I can confirm the slot for you only if you’re sure to be able to participate in it.
  - surbhisachdeva89 1:22 am on May 17, 2016
    
    I will do this time. Will not do the same thing again. Confirm me this time @piyushavir ☺
    - Wandering Soul 4:36 am on May 17, 2016
      
      It shouldn’t have happened the first two times. When you confirm a slot, we close it for further nominations. Then, failing to post it in time either leaves us rushing for a last minute replacement or the slot going empty. Both of those consequences defeat the entire purpose of having this forum. One more such instance of confirming and failing to post will result in you being debarred for any future nominations.
      I am only tentatively confirming it to you this time. If a regular contributor asks for it, the preference shall be accorded to them. Please ensure your blogcast goes up at 09:00 am GMT and is categorised and tagged correctly.
