writethisfanficThere's enough interest in trying this out (thank you all who replied to my post! I didn't leave you replies because I'd had to have copy/pasted this whole post to everyone and it's more appropriate for a top level post anyway) :D so I thought we'd try out our first Sprint tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the evening. How does that sound? I think I can do Friday as well if that would work better. I'll be home most of the day both days and can be online a lot, so it can be moved either way some hours on both days :)
AIM looks to be the IM that most of us who replied have, so let's use that. I checked and Yahoo! really doesn't seem to offer chat room creation anymore, so that's out of the picture.

allyear_sprints/nanowrimo has a really nice tutorial page on several programs on how to access their chats (also held on AIM), so instead of writing instructions myself, here's a link to their tutorial: http://community.livejournal.com/nanowrimo/2102126.html I now use Pidgin myself because I can combine all my IM accounts to one program instead of having them all individually installed. And I really love Pidgin because I can save the chat rooms I use and just double-click on one when I want to join it (instead of AIM's own program in which I had to type in not only the chatroom's name but also my AIM name).
The Sprint chatroom's name is WriteThisFanficSprints and I'll post a reminder here shortly before the beginning of the sprint tomorrow.
Here's a link to countdown to 6PM GMT+2 tomorrow evening: http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?day=18&month=11&year=2010&hour=18&min=00&sec=00&p0=101

We could do a Session on Saturday and/or Sunday? Or are you going to tryfic_rush? I'm still thinking about that myself, haven't decided...
Also Mod, could we tag this and http://writethisfanfic.dreamwidth.org/7441.html somehow so we can find the info later on?
