DSSS 2016 collection is OPEN FOR POSTING!
December is here, and the DSSS 2016 collection is officially open for posting! You have just under 2 weeks from today to submit your giftwork.
Detailed instructions for posting fic are here; instructions for posting art, vids, and podfic are here.
The deadline for posting your giftwork is 11:59 p.m. Chicago time, December 14. If you are not going to be able to complete your giftwork, please let the mods know ASAP so we can find a pinch-hitter to make something for your recipient.
The collection is moderated, which means your fanwork won’t appear in the collection right away when you’ve posted it. It goes into a queue for the mods to review and approve. We will do this as quickly as we can, but we have day jobs and are clustered in similar time zones, which may be out of sync with yours. Be patient and don’t panic! Give us 24 hours before contacting us to see if something has gone wrong. :)
(Also, last we checked, AO3 does not send out a notification email when a submission is approved; you have to log in and look.)
Once you post a submission, you can edit it right up until the collection goes live on December 24. However, we strongly encourage you to post an as-final-as-possible version: it makes it easier for the mods to review your submission, and you can rest easy knowing that the most you have to do is chase down those last few elusive typos!
Also remember that all submissions must be beta-ed! If you still need to find a beta, check out the beta volunteer posts on LJ and Tumblr, or contact the mods at dsss.admin AT gmail DOT com for help.
Finished early? Extra-excited about gift-giving? Starting December 9, requests will be made visible so that people can make Treats for participants, pinch-hitters or mods. Instructions about Treats will be posted then. (But make sure you finish your main gift before getting excited about making extra Treats!)
Works will go live in the evening of December 24th. Reveal Day is January 1st.
Cheering you all on! *\o/*
