What about Google Voice? Also, Christian Humber Reloaded.
Words cast into the uncaring void of the internet.It seems that Skype is the most popular option at the moment. I'm starting to doubt MSN, mainly because it may not be able to do group voice chat. G-voice, I have no experience with.
Any questions?
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Skype bodes well. president.dan.friday is my Skype name, if we're going ahead with it. Silly name, I know.
"You can only come to the morning through the shadows."Covering both bases;
Skype: Cataclismic MSN: orcadrakoon@googlemail.com
"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen."I don't have Skype, and I don't have a microphone...
So are we doing this via text-only? Well, there's the question of implementation this way: we "read" lines by copy-pasting them, we take drinks as needed, et cetera...
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Text-only sounds fine.
"You can only come to the morning through the shadows."All right. Since I don't feel like sending out PMs individually to all the tropers who are involved (and since I don't know if you can mass-PM tropers), I will ask everyone who's interested in participation to PM me with their MSN address. If you don't have one, it's easy to set up. I'll send out another reminder in six hours (0100 GMT).
Now, which one shall we be doing? Come on, everyone, opinions!
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Light and Dark. Also, to make things easier, I'll post it in here.

Nope, not hotmail, but it works.
It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.I honestly don't mind what fanfic we read - I've not really read fanfic before so am not in any kind of position to know which would make a good drinking game
"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen."Count me in, bitches!
As for my email address, I'll PM you.
Enku, Crack, I was able to add you guys to my contact list, but I couldn't send out IMs to you guys. Did you at least receive the notification that I added you to my contact list, and can you check your security statuses?
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.I would take a large dose of caffeine, and then read the fic an a dramatic manner. >:3
It looks like my internet will be spotty, so I may not be with you all the whole time.
Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen FryAll right. Final check in 10 hours.
Stock up on beverages. Direct all contact information to tropers who are still online (I will not be for the next few hours). Prepare to put your sanity on standby, make any wills or last wishes. Preferably be online on your MSN accounts a few minutes ahead of time.
Because at 1800GMT, shit will go down as our reading of Light And Dark The Adventures Of Dark Yagami begins. It will be epic.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.-gets his glass and orange juice for what's to come in a couple hours-
I now go by Graf von Tirol.I'm going to have pull out of this >_< Something's come up and I'm going to be spending the next day or so over at my Dad's place. I apologise very, very muchly )=
"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen."Okay guys, I have my Coke ready. What's the fic we're doing?
It looks like we're reading Light and Dark.
Are you going to be posting the rules, sabre?
Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen FryI'm not really familiar with Death Note, but okay.
Neither am I, Mr W, but this seems like the sort of thing that doesn't require much familiarity.
Rules: Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami. That's the link to the drinking game. We'll decide which rules we'll use via MSN.
Acknowledged that Cata will have to pull out of this. Best of luck, lad.

GAME BEGAN Uh-oh. So we've just gone through the first chapter. Crack's already gone through half a pint, I'm laughing my ass off, and that's not mentioning the fun with connectivity. We're screwed.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.I could still hear the conversation and participating. Somehow, my messages just aren't coming through... :/

Now that you mention it, I'm not even sure MSN supports groups calls...
