Saturdaymorningex about to release

[brightknightie]

I suspect that making things due at exactly midnight anywhere may always bring some confusion.

It seems that saturdaymorningex, per today's mod post, will release its stories tonight, at 12:00am Friday Eastern (9:00pm Thursday Pacific), instead of tomorrow at those times, although the loading due date last week, with the same "12:00am Friday Eastern" listed, had actually been the Saturday/Friday midnight, not the Friday/Thursday midnight (I'd specifically asked).

Also from that same mod post today, it appears that multiple pinch hits were necessary. That surprised me, because (1) the mod didn't make any public posts seeking pinch hits that I saw, neither on the saturdaymorningex DW nor on any of the DW communities that I subscribe to, so I'm curious where the mod found pinch-hitters (lovely personal friends?) and (2) there were 19 stories in the exchange's collection from when I loaded my own last Friday to today, and now there are 20; from 19 to 20 looks like a singular pinch hit, not plural? Hmmmm. Maybe there are one or more yet to load tonight. Regardless, many, many thanks to the generous folks who stepped in to pinch hit! You've made the event work for everyone. Exchanges couldn't run without you!

I did read your bus pass/draft -- I meant to go back and read it again to offer suggestions, but things got away from me. I hope someone else was able to offer useful help.

This post is public.

I did mention, in a locked and filtered post, that I had loaded a "bus pass" at the start. I never shared that "bus pass" with anyone, so only the exchange moderator could have read it, loaded in the queue. I am ashamed that I didn't finish my story on time; I hadn't intended to make that fact fully public.

I did share a link to my full, complete, draft in a subsequent locked and filtered post. Yes, thank you; someone was able to chat with me about it. It sounds like perhaps you saw things in that draft that really needed work; if you remember any of them and would like to let me know sometime -- privately or after reveals? -- so that I can learn from them for the future, please do share! No rush.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention.

[brightknightie]

No problem! I apologize for being sharp! First thing in the morning here and moving fast, if that's any excuse.

I didn't do anything wrong by posting a "bus pass;" I shouldn't be so embarrassed. I will get over myself! :-D

Thank you so very, very much for reading and considering the draft, and for your good wishes! I appreciate it, truly!

Well, and I should have said "draft," but for some reason the word eluded me. I can only blame my own morning brain.
