[MOD] AO3 posting and Deadline Extension
Greetings from your fantastic mods! (⌐■_■)
We hope your writing is going well, or as well as we writers who like to chase deadlines can manage. We're here to update you on some general housekeeping matters. No bad news, we promise!
I. AO3 posting:
After taking into account your opinions and deliberating several methods, we've come to some decisions on the posting of Extrafictionary works:
So, for that to work, please SEND US AN EMAIL with the following information:
1. your AO3 username if you have one. If you don't, let us know you will need an invite.
2. If you want us to transfer the fic to your account or not.
If you remain silent, your work will stay on our mod account over at AO3. Please, put "AO3", your LJ username and team in the email subject. Thanks!
II. Deadline extension
After the second check-in, we have determined that the authors could benefit from a general deadline extension. Therefore, we are extending the final deadline and giving you one extra week.
New timeline:
☆ Final deadline (3,000 words): September 10
☆ Posting: September 14
We hope this will give the authors sufficient time to produce a better work for Extrafictionary. If after this, you still need more time, you will have to contact us to figure something out but let's hope it won't be the case!
For now, happy writing!

I. AO3 posting:
After taking into account your opinions and deliberating several methods, we've come to some decisions on the posting of Extrafictionary works:
- Extrafictionary will be hosting works on AO3, taking advantage of the benefits offered by the archive.
- Only the fics themselves will be hosted there. Naturally, the comments received will be kept there as well - we will disable commenting on Dreamwidth. The posting of headers, voting polls, round masterlists and overall masterlist will be kept on Dreamwidth. We will keep using Livejournal and Dreamwidth as bases.
- As we do not have sufficient time to test out the 'challenge' feature on AO3, we will not use this feature for the first edition. Future editions will likely use this feature, however, after we test it out. For this edition, we will host the works on a mod account over at AO3 to maintain author anonymity. You don't have to post your work to AO3 yourself.
So, for that to work, please SEND US AN EMAIL with the following information:
1. your AO3 username if you have one. If you don't, let us know you will need an invite.
2. If you want us to transfer the fic to your account or not.
