[Mod Post] Reminder: Submissions Due December 15!

[caras-galadhon.livejournal.com]

This is a reminder that all stories/artwork are due Monday, December 15! Please complete and submit your stories/art by simply posting them to the comm (at any time between now and then) and they will end up in the queue, where they will sit comfortably until the unveiling on December 24. Currently, we have no submissions in the queue.

As we ask that you not share your contribution outside the community before January 1, do not link to your own journal or a website, but post directly to the comm. Please add a subject line to your post, stating the title, rating and pairing and the name of your recipient. Also, use a header with warnings, disclaimer, etc. before lj-cutting to your story/artwork.

If you post and then realize you've made an error you'd like to fix, please let the mods know and one of us will remove your post from the queue so you can repost.

While we do expect that everyone who has signed up to participate will fulfill their end of the bargain, we understand that sometimes life does get in the way of plans. If you are having trouble meeting your obligations, please let us know ASAP so that we can accommodate you best/make alternate plans. Remember that being upfront and clear about deadline concerns, while sometimes embarrassing, is far preferable (and much more considerate) than remaining silent and simply fading away.

Most of all, of course, enjoy the holiday season!

In order to facilitate questions/comments/concerns, all replies to this post are screened.

Hi. We're sorry to hear about your daughter! I hope she heals up soon and well.

The 18th is the latest we can accept your submission. After that, we'll unfortunately have to send your assignment to the pinch hit list.

Good luck, and we hope to see your submission before the 18th.

Hi! Yes, that should be fine, although as this community isn't paid, the queue can only hold one post per person, so you'll have to contact us to let us know you're ready to repost so we can delete your previous post first (clearing the queue for your new post).

Ok, no worries, I'm sure we can work it out for you. I'm going to let savageseraph take a crack at logistics first, just because she's our person on the ground right now, and she has all the options you've sent her. empy and I will make any other decisions that might be needed after that. Thanks a bunch!

Hi! That sounds like a fine workaround. It's a bit of a pain, having to work with the queue limit, but so long as those fics end up on the community, in this case post-reveal, that should be fine. Thanks a bunch! ^_^

Not sign-up or anything like that, I would just like to say that I'm hitting myself for not about this community before hand and in time to sign up. I really that there's going to be another round next year. :D

It's lovely to hear you're interested in the exchange! We definitely plan to do it again next year, so your best bet is to watch the community, and there will be announcements when it opens again next time around. ^_^ Thanks a bunch, and have a wonderful holiday season!

Great! I've deleted the previous version from the queue. Please go ahead and post the updated version when you're able to! Thanks again!
