Carnival of the Capitalists - Some Clarification
The intended window in which a CotC is to be published on the host blog is late Sunday afternoon to Monday morning, as late as noon if necessary. If Monday is a holiday, the host may choose to treat it as a one day extension, in otherwise the same timeframe, but should give notice of that intention. The intended format is a single post, at the same time.
Part of the reason for Monday as the edition date, and Sunday afternoon to Monday morning as the publication window, was to allow plenty of time for the host to read the submitted posts and create the CotC over the weekend, if not starting prior to the weekend. As CotC has grown, the number of posts have created a task of several hours reading, organizing and writing. This is why we ask that entries be in before the last minute, and not later than 3:00 PM eastern time each Sunday.
It is simply not viable to wait until Monday morning to begin even to review the e-mails containing the submissions. If your schedule and commitments are such that you will not be able to start work on CotC until the publication date, please request that arrangements be made to have another host cover the week, perhaps as a trade of hosting slots if a different week works better for you. Alternatively, arrange for assistance in preparing the post for you to publish. Let’s keep things functioning smoothly and within the publication window everyone has come to expect over the past eighteen months.
