!! Two weeks left until the GOT2015 final deadline (
Saturday December 27th, 11:59PM EST)! If you still have a lot left to write, pace yourself so you can submit on time!
FORMATTING YOUR DOCUMENT
✯ Include all necessary HTML tags! You will need to code bold, italic, and underlined text as such. Feel free to also include your own
tag if you want the cut text to be something other than the first line of your story. Please do not put your whole fic into tables/divs or change the font style.
✯ .txt files are preferred. Windows users can use Notepad, Mac users can use TextEdit, or you can look for a File>Save As>Plain Text in your editor of choice (allow character substitution). If there are problems, doc/.docx or .rtf files are also fine. Google Docs links will not be accepted for final submissions.
✯ Long fic needs to be split into separate parts of less than 10,000 words each. Attach each part to your email as a separate document.
✯ Include the following header at the top of the document. If your fic is split into multiple parts, only include the header on the first part.
Title:
Pairing(s)/focus:
Rating: (G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17. MPAA guide
here.)
Word count:
Warnings: (You MUST warn for rape, self-harm, underage sex, and major character death. Anything else is up to your discretion, but if you're unsure, err on the side of caution.)
Author's notes: (Optional)
Summary: (Try to keep it under 3-4 lines.)
✯ You can copy the heading HTML here for your convenience. Delete what's in parentheses!

✯ Before submitting, we strongly suggest that you test your formatted fic in a private post on own your journal, to make sure there are no problems with spacing, punctuation, or corrupt code.
FINAL SUBMISSION
✯ Compose a new, blank email for final submissions. Please do not reply to an old thread.
✯ Subject: username - GOT2015 Final
✯ Body: All you need to include is your username and your recipient's username.
✯ Attach your final, fully-formatted gift fic document(s). Please do not paste your fic as inline text into the email.
PINCH HITTERS
✯ Original participants who have picked up a second assignment will still need to submit at least one complete gift fic by the deadline.
✯ If you are not able to submit your complete pinch hit on time, you will need to check in by the deadline instead. Compose a new, blank email for this.
✯ Subject: username - GOT2015 Pinch Check-in
✯ Body should include the same details as previous check-ins (your username, recipient's username, chosen prompt, current word count, pairing/focus, and expected rating). Please also estimate how long of an extension you will need.
✯ Attach whatever progress you have.
