BONUS TUESDAY *\o/*

[curiouslyfic.livejournal.com]

Late post is late for reasons of RL/modfail (and we're sorry about that), but as stated earlier, it’s Bonus Day again!

Tuesday, April 10 is Double Points Day

What does that mean? Points for everything you do Tuesday will be counted twice towards your weekly total: once when you check in to the comments of this post (before the mod cut-off comment goes up noon Wednesday EST) and again when you check in for the week on Sunday. Points not claimed on this post before the mod cut-off comment will be awarded once.


Wasn’t this supposed to be the New Things Bonus? Yes, but on account of the modfail, it’s double for everything. We’ll run the New Things Bonus next week.



Why was there modfail? Spreadsheet wrangling, check-in wrangling, and one break-up with associated drama. So sorry. Highly unlikely to happen again.


Just joining us? The general BOB guidelines are here, but the good stuff’s all in the Common Rooms, so pick a team and get to it. ♥

The stats post of Team and Individual standings will be up later today, with a link to the spreadsheet so you can see how you’re doing.

Good luck, everyone!

the Week One BOB stats

[curiouslyfic.livejournal.com]

We closed out Week One of BOB with an astonishing 5,024 points earned in total across 49 active marathoners since April 1.

We’ve written 323,000 new words already this month, betaed 74,500 words for other people, spent 25 hours on art and another 12 hours on podfic. We’ve put in 165 hours on plotting, brainstorming, and research, and 100 hours revising, with another 176 hours doing other things that got stuff off our lists — most of which seemed to be modding. We’ve also finished 162,000 words of text.

Pretty awesome, huh?


Congratulations Team Acromantula!

Team Spider earned 1,521 points this week and all 10 of them checked in on time, which earned them their 2 point team bonus, giving them an average of 154 points for Week One.

Next up was Team Snidget, with 1,119 points over 8 members, who also all checked in on time, for an average of 142 points, including their 2 point team bonus.

Sixteen Team Billywig marathoners split 1,410 points overall, for an average of 89, including their 1 point team bonus.

Team Hinkypunk came out to a strong start and averaged 66 points per member this week, at 974 points and 15 members, plus their 1 point team check-in bonus.



Twenty marathoners topped 100 points this week, and six topped 200. The Week One overall points average was 104, well above the 20 point target set at the beginning of the week.


Our top five points earners:

curiouslyfic | Billywig | 330 points
khasael | Snidget | 261 points
crazyparakiss | Acromantula | 252 points
writcraft | Snidget | 226 points
sordid_humors | Snidget | 220 points


Want to know how you did? Want to check your team’s progress? The Spreadsheet O’Doom is here.

And while we’re at it, here. Have a BOB points calculator. As the lovely ashiiblack just pointed out to me, I made one calc row for 50 people. Don't like those odds? Save a copy of the spreadsheet to your own Google Docs or c/p it over to the spreadsheet program of your choice.

If you see a problem with either, please let us know.

Awesome work Week One, everybody! Best of luck with all the things for Week Two! *\o/*
