TWENTY DAYS until the 2023 Lord of the Rings Secret Santa claiming and posting deadline!
Claiming for the 2023 round of LotR SeSa has begun and there are TWENTY DAYS left to get those fills in! Claiming will run all the way until the posting deadline on December 31st.
Currently, just over half the prompts have been claimed. Our goal is to make sure every prompter gets at least one of their prompts filled.
If you are new to the format, AO3 has a helpful FAQ here.
This year's timeline (2023):
- Prompt Posting: November 1st to 30th.
- Claiming: December 1st to 31st.
- Collection Open for Posting: December 1st to 31st
- All Fills Due: December 31st 2023.
You can find all the prompts here. We would love to see an extra special 20th anniversary round, with ALL of the prompts filled by the deadline. ❤️ Take a look and see if anything tickles your fancy!
The Rules (2023): 1. You will be able to post up to 2 prompts between November 1st and 30th, and we will do our best to make sure at least one of your prompts is filled.
2. Your fill is due December 31st 11:59 pm Pacific Time (if you want a countdown timer to fret over, there's one here). Please post it to AO3 (and nowhere else, until January 3rd).
3. As a matter of fairness, please make your story more than 750 words (1000 is better).
4. Once claiming has opened, please only claim a prompt if you plan on actually fulfilling your end of the bargain, and please only claim one prompt at a time. After you have completed your fill, you may claim a new one.
5. Claiming a prompt: use the "Claim" button next to the prompt you want to claim. (You can find open prompts under "Prompts" in the sidebar.) Several people can claim the same prompt. You can also claim a prompt without having submitted any of your own.
6. It's a good idea to join the Dreamwidth community so you can keep track of any admin posts. You can also follow us on Tumblr at Lotr-SeSa.
Have fun -- and spread the word!
