Just a couple of reminders
Stories are due tomorrow at 11:59 p.m. EST (UTC -5) Roughly 27.5 hours from now.
Please note: THERE ARE NO EXTENSIONS. I will not listen to your pleadings. When it comes time to turn the story in, I am more unforgiving than the IRS (U.S. tax collection service), as I do not believe in late payments with exorbitant interest.
(On the other hand: if you missed the check-in and I told you that a pinch hitter was being obtained in your place, but you turn your story in on time, we will still be okay and you can participate in future Secret Santa rounds.)
Also, if your story is late, and the person assigned to write a story for you defaults, no pinch hitter will be assigned for you.
That means that if you turn your story in December 30, and the person assigned to write a story for you never turns their story in, you will not get a story. Everyone who turns their story in on time is guaranteed a story. Everyone who doesn't is at the mercy of the person originally given their request. It seems that there is always at least one person caught out in such a way every year. Don't let it be you!
