The groups are starting to even out, I think. HOwever, I'm pretty sure Abridged Speculists still has fewer members. As a member of both, I'd prefer to have you in that one.

When tracking #s for the groups, here's the low-down:

Abridge Speculists (AS1)
SE
Nessa
kaykeelolo
Buck
guitarbabe (currently not attending/submitting)

Ardent Scribblers (AS2)
Shrain
SE
JenaRey
Jeffe
NeuronScream
Nessa (doesn't submit)

So, yeah, I agree with SE. The groups are evening out. AS1 could use more people, and AS2 is getting close to critical mass--too many more people and it will be too crowded and won't get through the story rotation very fast. But I suspect which you attend has more to do with what day is better for you. AS1 meets on Wednesdays (7pm MST) and AS2 meets on Thursdays (7pm MST).

Both times & days are fine with me, so I can def. join the AS1 if that's the preferred.

OK. This Wednesday we're reviewing kaykeelolo's submission. Email me and I can forward it to you. You can begin submitting after you've attended two meetings (and contributed...you're not allowed to sit around, you have to be an active member to participate). We use IM. My email address on my profile is the MSN IM I use.

For future reference, discuess AS1 issues in the Abridge Speculists thread.

George and this week's submission.

I just heard from George.  The dishwasher at their home EXPLODED.  Ruined kitchen floor, ruined walls below kitchen, collapsed basement ceiling below kitchen...

Needless to say George is upto his neck in trying to put their home back together/insurance, etc, and can't pull things together for a sub this week.

I also won't be around on Thursday until late because I've been pulled into teaching a class last minute.

I do think if anyone has something ready to be looked at we should have group anyway, since we've already skipped a week.  George says to go ahead and just skip him until he finishes with the home repairs that are necessary now.

Exploding dishwasher. I guess that new NitroClean Dishwashing powder was a bad idea then....

Seriously, that's sucky. I don't really have something ready and it's already Tue. Anyone else? I could use the time to write, though, if we don't meet.

Hey, woah, I'm still a member of AS2, I just got booted from the lineup for missing too much.

On the other hand I do have a short (a page and a half) piece that introduces a world I'm using for my current progect. I could submit it, and since it's short it shouldn't strain the time constraints too much, if that's all right with everyone.

So is tonight canceled?

We can submit a few chapters of my revisions. Just for fun. We don't have to add me as a regular to the lineup. I could use comments on my revisions.

Nobody's biting. So we're just postponing until next week?

So who submits next week? Is NeuronScream going to be able to do it?
