Newest Newsletter Game: Pick Two

[Cia]

Yes, the time zone on the post-dating is YOUR time zone. If you go into your profile, that's where you've sent the time zone you're in and that applies everywhere. The gist of the time I put up was to let you all know when I typically send out the weekly newsletter (if I'm on the ball) so that you guys won't have it live after that because then your links in the newsletter won't go to anything for readers to see. I can, however, go into any story and publish it manually if necessary if the time is completely wonky.

Where do I set a time zone? I can't find it... Or is it Location? Mine just says Stockholm.

It used to be in account settings. I guess it's all automated now. If you want to know the comparison, I'd do a google search for 'what time is it in New York now' (they're on Eastern Time) and then compare that to your time. Plus or minus the hours to reach 4 AM in New York and do the same number of hours to your time and voila! You'll have the comparison. This site might be very helpful to some people too: https://time.is/New_York

So the time I set is my time? Then I'll do some calculating... LOL

Give me an hour or so and you'll have it. Promise

Cia, I'll have to delay my PM. Currently, I have my hands full in taking care of a dying pet.

 

I'll be able to send you the PM, tomorrow at noon (my time) at the latest.

Are you the main course of this party?  

[Cia]

I've added Lyssa and Drew to the list. Sorry, guys, I was working off an older file/my phone because I was out of town at an outdoor wedding. Can't wait to see all the reviews and comments tomorrow!

I don't understand your comment, Drew. If you took my comment as other than a playful jest based upon the time difference between your post and Cia's post, I apologize for not being more clear. Unfortunately your post reads as a somewhat defensive and snide comment, halo notwithstanding.

[Cia]

Keep it fun and happy, guys--I don't moderate on Sundays. That's the evil Cia day... and you don't ever want to meet the evil Cia. She's very not fun.

[Puppilull]

So much fun to see what we did with our words! Reading the stories, it seems to me 500 words seem to go a lot further for others than for me... I'm impressed by how much you can convey under that restraint. 

[northie]

For me, it was an exercise in paring down - telling the story was paramount. I had to keep on going back and remove inessential words or find more concise ways of saying things. 

[Dolores Esteban]

I enjoyed all the stories. I think the game was a thorough success.
