So sorry I didn't post the reminder sooner, but tomorrow, Sunday, at 8pm CET, we will be marathoning 105! Hope to see everyone there!

| Episode 105 |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|12:20 am] |
So a quick, dirty, unofficial poll showed that the majority of people were voting for trying to have the Marathons on Sunday evenings. Starting this week we will move the marathon to the other end of the weekend. Sunday 15 November, 8pm CET (2pm east coast/11am west coast-or see when that is where you live)
I look forward to seeing all of you there! |

I have a question for all my lovely friends who have been participating in the marathons. We have been doing the marathons on Friday nights at 8pm CET. Does this time still work for you or was the Sunday at 8pm CET work better? I know that the Sunday was better for me, but I want to see what everyone says and we can marathon accordingly.
This weekend we will be watching episode 105, but I will wait until I get some votes in regarding Friday or Sunday to determine the day!
PS-Did you see the lovely icon that the amazingly talented ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) qafmaniac made after episode 101? |

I am running a tiny bit late tonight. I won't be able to start until like 830, but I will start then. If you want to get started right at 8 feel free, and I will be here after like 830.

So it sounds like most people are game for moving the marathon to Sunday the 8th of November this week. I was thinking, same time-so 8pm CET (2pm East Coast/11am West Coast). I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hey fellow marathoners! I have some sad news. I have a work party/meeting on Friday night, and I won't be able to make the marathon. Does someone else want to post it and manage everything? Otherwise if we want to move it to another night (Sunday night, for example) I could still post everything and such.
*kisses* |

| Episode 103 |
[Oct. 30th, 2009|07:55 pm] |
I'm getting this up a few minutes early tonight. Is everyone ready to start with episode 103? We'll start in about 5min.
Just a quick note. If IJ goes down for updates, let's pause the episode there and when it comes back up again, we'll figure out where everyone is and start from there!

That's right! We are on to episode 103 this week! Time for Stalker!Ballsy!Justin. It will start at 8pm CET on Friday night! (Just a quick programing note, Europe switched off of Daylight Savings Time last weekend and the US did not, so the times are 3pm on the East Coast, and 12pm-noon-on the West Coast of the US.) To find out exactly what time it is where you are, click here.
Hope to see all of you there! |

[Oct. 23rd, 2009|08:03 pm] |
Is everyone ready to go with episode 102?
ETA: Just a quick technical note. If IJ goes down for the updates like it did last week. Let's pause where we are in the episode and as soon as someone recognizes that its back up, post so we all can pick back up again! |

Just a quick reminder post about the European-timed Marathons. This week we will be watching episode 102 starting at 8pm CET. I hope everyone can make it! It should be awesome (last week's viewing of 101 elicited over 270 comments!) I hope to see everyone there!

Look! qafmaniac made a beautiful banner for the European-timed Marathons!
The votes have been counted. The majority of people wanted to start between 8 and 10 pm and the day with the most votes was Friday. So how about this Friday October 16, 2009 at 8pm we start the marathoning! That just leaves one question, where to start. The votes were tied for Season 1 and Season 3. So please let me know where you would like to start in a comment, by Wednesday October 14th. Then we'll be good to start on Friday!
We will start at 8pm on Friday October 16, 2009! I can't wait! |

A little while ago, I mentioned doing some European-times marathons in my journal; which would be evening in Europe (CET) and then early-mid afternoon on the Eastern US (EST). Quite a few people expressed interest in participating in them.
In an effort to accommodate as many people as possible, I was wondering which days of the week work best for you/don't work at all, what time of the evening is best, and where in the series is everyone interested in starting? There is a fancy poll under the cut, please let me know exactly what works for you because the more the merrier!

| *Marathons Gone Wild, 314* |
[Aug. 7th, 2009|08:43 am] |
A final, big HUGE thank you to qafmaniac for this banner, all the wonderful S5 banners and the icons for Marathons Gone Wild
It's time for pain management, Queer as Folk style. After the agony of mid-season five and the abrupt, confusing, up and down ending of the series, I think 314 is a great place to find comfort. Come join us, won't you? |
|
|
| *try as I might, I can't think of anything...* |
[Aug. 6th, 2009|07:33 pm] |
...more wonderful than washing down the pain and bittersweet agony of our Marathons Gone Wild S5 viewings with my beloved episode 314. ahaw9913 suggested that an episode we love might help with the pain management, and besamislabios and I couldn't agree more. So, to that end, I, selfish and self-centered fan that I am, picked 314.
We're going to end our week on a high note! If you can, join us at 8:45 a.m. CST TOMORROW morning and we'll marathon the happy!! (except for poor Ted...but at least there's light at the end of the long, ugly tunnel at the end).
And if you can't make it, come celebrate with us when you can!
*hugs fandom just because I want to* |

| *Marathons Gone Wild, episode 513* |
[Aug. 5th, 2009|01:47 pm] |
Thank you, qafmaniac for the banner and icons for MGW!!
This is it...the final episode of the best TV series ever. It's been really fun doing so many episodes with you guys...thank you for making me laugh, and holding my hand and sharing your opinions and even changing mine a few times. It was tough sometimes, but it was great to share it with people I love.
Ready for the end?
Here we go... |

|
| *Marathons Gone Wild, 512* |
[Aug. 5th, 2009|08:36 am] |
Thank you to the amazing and generous qafmaniac for our banner and icons!
Good morning! It's time for 512...aka Brian and Justin freak out the entire world by announcing their marriage. That spawned one of my favorite Queer as Folk lines when Debbie concludes that Brian must have "knocked up Sunshine." Come join us for that and more...or stop by later and have some fun.
Don't forget, we're doing the FINAL Queer as Folk episode ever at 1:45 CST today as well. It's guaranteed to generate some discussion. Hope to see you there.
Ready? Here we go... |

| *will you still...blow me?* |
[Aug. 4th, 2009|01:31 pm] |
Because of some appointment/scheduling/timing issues on Thursday, we're not going to marathon at all that day, but besamislabios and I have decided to make tomorrow a double marathon day. We're going to kick off with 512 at 8:30 a.m. CST and then come back tomorrow afternoon at 1:45 p.m. CST for 513. The end. :-(
I hope you can join us for one or both episodes *AND* if you can't...PLEASE stop by any of our Marathons Gone Wild posts and tell us what you think? Do we have it all wrong? Did we miss a moment that must be discussed? Maybe we didn't squee enough (or we squeed too much) over how hot Brian Kinney is or how amazing Justin looks, even when his life is falling apart around him. Let us know! We'd love to see your comments.
AND...
We're not quite done after 513. As we were floundering our way through the hell of 506 and 507, ahaw9913 suggested that we might want to watch a "fun" episode to counter-act the agony of parts of S5. Pain management, if you will. So, to that end, we're going to finish off the week on Friday with episode 314. (surprise, surprise, huh?)
I'm not sure on the time yet for Friday, but it'll probably be around the same early morning time as most of our marathons have been. We'll let you know. |
