a few reminders
Sign-ups look to have gone swimmingly--there's a lovely mix of teams and characters on the list and we're very much looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! If you've been hesitating about signing up, you can do so until a week before submissions are due (which is 13 January 2012, 11:59pm GMT, don't forget!), so there's still plenty of time.
We wanted to offer you all a couple of handy links for when you're writing or thinking of what to write:
Bad spelling and grammar are not acceptable. The editors readily accept content that would give self-appointed moral guardians the vapours, but they will bin stories which require them to pick through paragraph after paragraph of unintelligible writing. Yes, they will do this even if it means that a club will end up having no stories to its name in the anthology.
We want all of your stories! However, we also don't want to have to spend every waking second of the week between submission and posting cleaning them up. If you need help finding a beta, just ask and we'll do our best to get you one! And if you are willing to be a beta, please let us know that too.
So. Two months exactly till deadline day. Any of you overachievers gotten started yet?

- little_details is a great resource for fact-checking and research.
- If you need to find out who played in which position for a particular match: Football-Lineups.com.
- if you want to brainstorm or just commiserate with your fellow writers, flaggeddown is, as always, here for you!
