That's fine by me, Northey, though you're all welcome to clog up my pf anytime

It does seem better to be open about it though. We can't be accused of sneaking around then. And we might encourage more to join in if people can see we're having fun.

Only 8 rejections? You're obviously not trying hard enough

Sally

Hi peeps,

Yep, I agree with Northey, putting it on the challenge thread and not including our rejections on the totals. We can let people know but not record them.

As for poetry - thanks! I mainly submit poetry, although for the last lot of subs, I was submitting two or three at a time. I still count this as one sub because it is only going to one place.

Rejections smejections We're here to record our triumphs, not our let-downs.

As for the poetry, it really is up to you whether you choose to count them as one sub or three. I think the important thing is to remember that we are all adults, so can make our own decisions about these things.

Sally

Hi Sally,

At last, a sensible subbing race with sensible rules! Please add me to the list.

I like the idea of only counting hits, not rejections, too.

Yay! Welcome Bernie.

So now we have 9 'subbers':

Arrowqueen
Bernie
Chris
Mad Lemur
Northey
Sally
Sheepdoglady
Star

Looking good!

Sally

Hi Sally

I'm afraid you may have to take me off the list, at least for the time being. It's good news and bad news: the good news is that I have a new job, one that I was very pleased indeed to get. The bad news is that I now have a massively increased workload and I'm going to have to put other activities on the back burner while I get to grips with it.

All the best with the thread - I may re-join you at a later stage!

Chris

CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS! But sorry you're not going to be joining the 'race'. We'll still be here though, for any time you want to dip back in.

Sally

Thanks, Sally!

Chris

Please count me in.

Sure will Beatlegaz! It's great to have you on board.

And Chris will be back eventually

Sally

Hi Sally,

Is there any room for me? - I need to do something to get myself working again!

Charlotte/Penny

If there wasn't, I'd make room Charlotte! You are VERY welcome to join us (as is anyone else catching up with this thread).

Is anyone else saving up their subs for September?

Sally

Hi all

Just stumbled upon this thread. I just wanted to mention that the new site launches in mid-september, with a new style challenges section.

Wondering if you'd want to consider delaying your start date slightly so you can start a brand new challenge in the new area - might make it easier than transferring a couple of weeks in. But it's up to you!


Caite

That sounds good to me Caite. We can always save up subs from 1st September, and add them to the new section when the new site launches.

Is everyone else happy to wait?

Or we could keep a tally here until we move across, if that makes life easier for people.

Sally

It would be nice to tally them here as we're all gearing up for the 1st September now - well I am anyway.

Fine by me, folks. Congratulations Chris on the new job!

Antonia

Hi Sally,

Count me in please - eager to get back in the swing of things

The more the merrier Autumn

So we'll log the totals here from 1st September, until the new site is up, yes?

Sally

Yes.
