Samplergal Ah. Okay. I‘ve been offline most of the day. I guess FOMO really is a first world issue. 6y

@TheReadingMermaid is hosting the #24in48julyreadathon maybe I can get some good reading done since I'm off this weekend!

Btw how do I do this?

#readathon #challenge

BeansPage We are reading for 24 hours in a 48-hour span. What you do is every time you pick up a book to read use your stopwatch on your phone two-time how long you're reading. Post updates everyday that the read-a-thon is going on. Does that make sense? 6y

miamorswife @TheReadingMermaid yes it does. Thanks! 6y

BeansPage No problem sweetie if you have any other questions just let me know 🤗 6y

miamorswife @TheReadingMermaid how are people making the graphs? 6y

BeansPage You know that's a good question I'm going to have to do some research and figure that out 6y

BeansPage There are a lot of apps in the Play Store that help you make graphs and I'm sure what they're doing is just using an app and taking a screenshot of it and posting it 6y

Yes we're still on for this, this weekend. This starts tonight at midnight. I have changed the hashtag as I just got chewed out for using the wrong one. I apologize for any inconvenience. Just wanted to let everybody know that we're still on for this.

tammysue Sounds great, some of my holds came in at the library! 👌🏻 6y

BeansPage @whatshesreadingnow can you please repost this for me sweetie? And can you note the hashtag change for me? Thank you so much 🤗 6y

24in48 Lololololololololol still stealing, hun.

See All 61 Comments

BeansPage @24in48 stealing what? I've changed the graphic and your hashtag. Can you please stop now? 6y

BeansPage @24in48 what are you talking about? I've seen several people use that for their own readathons that they're hosting. None of them ever got bitched out for it. The fact is is I've changed that hashtag and the graphic as you requested. You have been nasty about this entire thing and frankly I'm done with it. 6y

BeansPage @24in48 once again I was never told that. I was simply told that somebody else was hosting a read-a-thon the next weekend. I am not using your brand or your hashtag. You obviously do not understand hashtags. I am not taking this one down as I have done what you "asked" me to do. 6y

Bostonmomx2 @24in48 curious...what‘s your trademark # you recd when registering with the government? (edited) 6y

BeansPage Sorry everyone for the inconvenience. Hopefully there won't be any more trouble with this. Ridiculous I know. Once again I apologize. 6y

MoniqueReads305 @24in48 and @Bostonmomx2 I'm curious too. Since I just did a basic trademark search and couldn't find it. As she had started other people have used this before too and if you were concerned about your "trademark" or "brand" you should have done a better job of protecting it. Now, your just coming off as rude. 6y

BeansPage @Bostonmomx2 @MoniqueReads305 I have blocked this user to protect myself from further harassment. So unfortunately even though you tag them I don't think they can see your comments. Thank you for your input guys. 🤗 6y

MoniqueReads305 @TheReadingMermaid sorry you had to go through that. 6y

BeansPage @MoniqueReads305 thank you sweetie. I just don't understand how people can be so mean to other people. 6y

Bostonmomx2 @TheReadingMermaid oh you did? Probably a good call. Only because I‘m curious, I did a little recon and yes a hashtag can be trademarked but even when it is, not much can be done to stop it from being used. So while I agree you using the same one for a different weekend can confuse others, I don‘t think it‘s enough to get all shitty over. Kindly explain their position would have been much better. 6y

Bostonmomx2 Buuuuut whatever right? You changed your hash, all is fine. Carry on 🤓🤓🤓 6y

BeansPage @Bostonmomx2 Exactly 🤘🏻 6y

SleepyDragon I find this whole thing upsetting. I thought Litsy was supposed to be above such pettiness. It's seems childish to get nasty and propriety over a stupid hashtag. This person (an admin or what?) Is causing me to rethink my recent increase in involvement here, as well as my recent decision to make my profile public. 6y

BeansPage @NeesyBeth I know sweetie. But don't let one person bring all of Litsy down. We are all still a group together and this is a wonderful place. It's just unfortunate that every place has its bad apples ☹️ 6y

SleepyDragon I flagged the comments as harassmentn including a very rude post he/she made threatening anyone who uses his/her hashtag. Not sure what good it could do, but harassment is never okay. They could have simply flagged your post as trademark infringement and let the admins deal with it. 6y

BeansPage @NeesyBeth thank you for that I appreciate it. And yes they also could have just asked me nicely instead of threatening me and being so nasty. 6y

SleepyDragon I guess there is no place completely free of vile people like that. Sigh. 6y

BeansPage @NeesyBeth Sadly no. But, as Miss Scarlet O'hara always says "After all, tomorrow is another day!" 6y

SleepyDragon "So it goes." 6y

CindyMyLifeIsLit So how does this work exactly? Do you have from the 12th to the 15th to get your 24 hours in, or do you pick 2 days from those and do 24 hours over those days? 6y

CindyMyLifeIsLit I‘ve been on Litsy for a year now and consider myself to be fairly active. This is the first time I‘ve ever seen such incivility here. Even if you were in the wrong for using that hashtag, they handled it terribly. I will never participate in one of their stupid readathons, and I‘ve unfollowed the people who posted negative remarks. If I want to read rude, trolling remarks, there‘s plenty to be had on Goodreads! They don‘t belong here!! 6y

jb72 Hello! I just found my way over from the other not so nice post from 24in48. I actually read their post first and thought how rude they were so I unfollowed them, and started to follow you instead. 6y

BeansPage @CindyMyLifeIsLit no nothing like that we simply keep track of all the time we read during the allotted time frame of 48 hours. We post updates each day and try to make our time as close to 24 hours as possible LOL Also yes I agree with you and thank you very much for your support. I had a very bad day yesterday because of all of that. 6y

BeansPage @jb72 hello there welcome to the party! ✨🎈🎉😃 I'm so glad that you found me 🤗 6y

Jess_Read_This I unfollowed her during the last readathon after she published the sign up information publicly on the website. This just floors me that she behaved so poorly over a hashtag that has been used by others. Sorry this happened to you. 6y

BeansPage @Jess_Read_This thank you so much sweetheart. I appreciate it. 6y

BeansPage @Samplergal this is what happen if you want to go ahead and read from the top. 6y

Jess_Read_This @TheReadingMermaid No problem. I fully understand the need to be protective of a “brand” however their handling of the entire matter speaks volumes to the maturity level of the account/readathon. 6y

BeansPage @Jess_Read_This I agree wholeheartedly. It could have been handled a lot better than it was. 6y

CSeydel @NeesyBeth Just want to point out that the 24-in-48 people are not in any way officially affiliated with Litsy, or representative of the community here. They are just a blog that happens to have a presence here. 6y

CSeydel So when is the 48 hour time frame? I had the same question as @CindyMyLifeIsLit since it‘s a 4-day period? Maybe we could avoid controversy and just call it 24in96 😂 6y

BeansPage @CSeydel hey there's a good idea! 😂 6y

BeansPage The time frame is from Midnight Thursday the 12th to midnight Sunday the 15th 6y

CSeydel Right? isn‘t that a 96-hour window? 🤔 6y

CSeydel No wait I guess it‘s 72 hours 6y

BeansPage @CSeydel Did I do the time frame wrong??? LMAO 😂😂😂 6y

CSeydel 🤔🤔🤔 Midnight Thursday to midnight Friday = 24 Hours, Midnight Friday to Midnight Saturday = 24 Hours, Midnight Saturday to Midnight Sunday = 24 hours. That‘s 3 x 24 = 72. Right? 6y

BeansPage @CSeydel jeepers creepers!!!😂😂😂😂 Okay well since this whole thing got messed up so badly in so many ways let's just try to hit 24 hours this weekend before Monday. This is my first time hosting at 24 in 48. I totally did my math wrong LMAO 6y

SleepyDragon @Jess_Read_This They published private info on their website? Really? 6y

SleepyDragon @CSeydel Thank you so much for that clarification. It's hard to tell who has authority here. They were acting like an admin, telling someone what they could or could not post. I wasn't sure. 6y

BeansPage @NeesyBeth yes I'm sorry I forgot to answer that question yesterday for you. They are not an admin or are they associated with litsey in any way besides being a presence here like you and I. 6y

SleepyDragon Maybe you can call it #24b4Monday and trademark it. Lol 6y

SleepyDragon @CindyMyLifeIsLit So right about Goodreads. I disabled comments on my reviews for that exact reason. 6y

BeansPage @NeesyBeth that is totally the name of my next read-a-thon!!! You are so awesome 🤗 6y

SleepyDragon The longer window works better for me anyway. I'm usually wandering around after children and running errands all weekend. Lol 6y

CSeydel @NeesyBeth I love that idea! 6y

Jess_Read_This @NeesyBeth The document they used as a means to track participants was accessible to all. To join, you had to fill out a questionnaire with some information. It was all viewable. 6y

SleepyDragon @Jess_Read_This Yikes! 6y

CSeydel @Jess_Read_This They seem awfully unprofessional for all that they take themselves so seriously 6y

Jess_Read_This @NeesyBeth I love your idea for a readathon name as well! 6y

Jess_Read_This @CSeydel I think that‘s what I found so shocking, the utter lack of professionalism in the comments. 6y

tammysue I like #24B4Monday it‘s catchy.. great job @NeesyBeth 🙌🏻 6y

BeansPage Okay I'm making a new tag I hope that I don't miss anybody who wanted to participate... 6y

BeansPage @catherine2 read from the top 6y

BeansPage @MinDea this is what she's referring to. Read from the top of the comments. 6y

Robothugs 🤦🏻‍♀️ In the words of Lumberjanes, “What the junk?” This is so silly. People are strangely protective of hashtags... 😬 (edited) 6y

BeansPage @Robothugs she was very rude and came on to my post and threatened me and told me she was going to turn me into litzy for stealing and have my account shut down 6y

Robothugs I‘m so sorry that happened. 😓 6y
