I know, it hardly seems fair when
yuletide reveals aren't even up yet, but you only have a bit more than two weeks till submissions are due, so start thinking about getting started, if you haven't yet! (I haven't, and my better half is only slightly further along, there's no need to panic. Just... get going soon.) You can still sign up, or change your sign-up, until a week before deadline, i.e. January 6, and
flaggeddown is here if you want to talk about what you're writing, or procrastinating on, as the case may be. There is no penalty whatsoever for defaulting, just so you all know and don't fret, but we hope to see all of your submissions on - or, be still my beating heart, before - deadline day! (If you know absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can't participate this issue after all, though, you can drop us a message or a comment on the sign-up post and we'll take you off the list.)
13 January 2012, 11:59pm GMT is still the submission deadline. Plan accordingly. And happy writing!
