Reminder
Submissions are due on September 20 at 11:59 PM EST, which is less than 36 hours away.
Also, we're officially addressing an issue that has been brought to our attention from recent comments in the support thread as well as opinions expressed to the mods in private during previous rounds:
Under the current system, there really is no way for the mods to control whether the fics in the inbox get read before they're posted up on answer_key. However, we would appreciate it if writers would refrain from reading the other submissions in the inbox. Please consider that some writers might not appreciate having their fics read by you before they're officially posted and that it's also a little unfair to all the blind_go readers who don't have access to the inbox and can't get the same sneak peek. In return, the mods will do their best to get the fics posted as soon as possible. If you can't resist the temptation to read the fics in the inbox, we ask that you please avoid mentioning the fact publicly, especially in blind_go or kifu_archive.
(If enough writers feel that they absolutely don't want the possibility of having their fics read in advance, the mods will discuss revising the submission process to eliminate this issue in the future, so please let us know how you feel about the issue, if you haven't already.)
