Nightmare Before Christmas Plot Update
Good evening Milliwaysers! Loving the enthusiasm for the plot so far, you guys rock! Thanks to everyone who volunteered so far.
A hopefully-not-major issue has cropped up my end. For those of you who don't know, I am a real life trainee doctor, and my hours depend on which rotation I am on at the time. Today the training office called to say a colleague has dropped out and they urgently need someone to work in the Children's hospital in two weeks.
This isn't finalised yet because it has to be approved by the GP surgery I was meant to be working for. But the hospital is desperate and I'll save 200 hours of commuting, so if it gets approved I will accept the swap.
How would it affect the plot? - Hopefully not very much. On my part it will mean I do more lates, nights, weekends and I may be working Christmas Day/Boxing Day. As soon as I have a new rota I will let you all know if any of the plot dates are moving.
What I am going to do, after discussion with Maru, is get you lot launched on the Pox this evening - I will post again later tonight with a reminder how it works - in case I need to shift dates for later stages of the plot. If anyone who has volunteered to be a patient zero isn't free until Friday, don't worry, the boxes will be there either way.
Apologies on my part for messing you around; unfortunately in my line of work this sort of thing happens (but on the bright side, from April onwards, I will be in GP forever, so no/hardly any more nights and not too many weekends :) )

And I'm sure Maru and Write will be able to hold the fort either way.

One thing I would like to ask you, since I sort of have your ear, is if I may tag your last Santa EP with Selina or if you plan another EP with Santa before he gets nabbed? I feel like if Selina is going to push Gene, she will have needed to meet the crazy old guy who may or may not be Santa.

Also, I think I am pretty close to a fade with the Free Clinic thread with Guppy.

Just grab him next time he's in when you want jabbing.
