"Summary Sign-up?"

See, and then I hit "Enter" and now I'm stuck with this thread.

Does that mean this is the sign-up thread? Am I accidentally in charge now? Geez.

If anyone knows the expected episode dates, please let me know.

With many, many thanks to the amazing Snidget, here are the episode dates for this season's TAR (from futoncritic.com)

September 27 (two hours)
October 04
October 11
October 18

"Projected Dates":

October 25
November 1
November 8
November 15
November 22

? November 29
? December 6 (possibly the finale?)

The rules are, as always,

1. You must have previous summary-writing experience on another program, maybe The Apprentice or Average Joe or something. Anyone may sign up!

2. Be snarky. That's the good stuff right there.

3. Post within 72 hours of the episode airing. 'Cause that's what Dweezil said last time and it seems like a good idea.

4. Sign up in this thread and then watch this thread for the schedule, which I will post on Friday the 25th at the latest.

If there's more interest than slots, one of the mods can do a random draw, but otherwise, it's first come, first served.

So, who wants one?

Unfortunately, rule #1 leaves me out.

Due to lack of participation, the Survivor folks eliminated rule #1 this season and are allowing anyone to write a summary. Just sayin'.

"Neat!"
Posted by Seana on 09-22-09 at 00:04 AM
I was completely unaware of this.

Fixed that rule thingie.

What do you say, kid? You want one?

I may be close to the end of 72 hours, however I would like to try my hand at summary writing

I am away next week so cannot write the first summary.

Arrrr Cap'n!

No! No! You're supposed to say, "rapid-o! Me write-o, rapid-o!"


(Don't mind me... I'm not angling to write a summary, just offering some snark.)

"RE: Summary Sign-up?"
Posted by Seana on 09-25-09 at 01:05 AM
Are ya sure? 'Cause you could put some of that snark into a summary and it would be muy bien...


I may be stuck with the premiere. Ack.

Myrna, is that you?

ETA: I'll be glad to write more than one if there aren't enough volunteers.

Anyone taking Oct. 25? Anyone? Anyone?
"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by Seana on 10-25-09 at 11:57 PM
I'm afraid there are a lot of gaps. Summary writing is a lot of work, so I wouldn't make you, or try to guilt you. I certainly don't have the time this week. But if you would like to do it, please do.
"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-26-09 at 06:26 AM
I can move up a week and do last night's summary. Let me know if that works for you?
"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by Starshine on 10-26-09 at 07:40 AM
I know I have a lot to learn, however I can do last nights, or take over from Pepe for the 1st. I could probably fill in for one of the other slots, however I don't know what my schedule is yet.

Watched last weeks TAR last night, and this weeks this morning!


"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 10-26-09 at 11:58 AM
Do you want to take over last night's summary? If so, go ahead - let us know on here. Either way, I need to know by tomorrow morning as that's when I would be free to write.
"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by Starshine on 10-26-09 at 12:27 PM
If I don't hear that anyone else has started it by the time I get home and sit down (about 20:00 GMT) I will take last nights summary

Arrrr Cap'n!

Great... it's yours (unless somebody comes up for it), and I'll keep next week's scheduled summary.

Enjoy! Don't forget all of your pent-up snark -- think of the drive to Niagara.

"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by kidflash212 on 10-26-09 at 12:56 PM
I can take Nov 22 - I'm off from work that week so I'll have time to get to it in less of a rush than my first summary.


"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by dajaki on 10-26-09 at 10:23 PM
And I can take Nov. 8 if no one new comes along.
"RE: Revised Schedule"
Posted by Seana on 10-26-09 at 10:29 PM
You guys are all awesome. I won't post a revised schedule right away. I'll have one up by Friday, though. That way, anyone new *snort* will have the chance to sign up for any of the numerous remaining days.

Posted by Seana on 11-17-09 at 03:13 PM
Kidflash!

I didn't notice that you were interested in the ep on the 22nd. I sent you a red wavy, but I don't know if you got it.

Do you still want to do the 22nd? I'm so sorry for overlooking this.

"RE: Revised Schedule"

It's okay, my schedule changed anyway - so it yours!
