It doesn't bother me if you change the order around on your own journals and pages, but it makes it difficult for your very weary mod to put the master list together when information is missing or switched around on your master posts here at the community. It's fine if you omit lines that do not apply to your story, such as the pairing if your story is gen, or the crossover line if your story is not a crossover, etc.
You may also TAG your master post with the following:

Posting Guidelines:
- You must be a member of the community to be given posting access. Please check on the profile page and make sure you have joined and are listed as a member. Also on the profile page, please be sure you are listed as having posting access. Sometimes I work long days, so please make sure you have posting access at least 24 hours prior to your posting date.
- Either the Artist or Author may make the master post to the community. Typically the post is made by the Author, however, if the Author is unable to post in this time frame, please see if your Artist can make the master post. Artists may always make a separate post for their artwork teaser.
- Post only on your scheduled date, your time zone (any time on that date is fine). DO NOT POST ON A DIFFERENT DATE!!!
- It is entirely up to you as to where you post your stories and artwork, AO3, LJ, DW, etc. It is also fine to post in multiple locations.
- Do not link locked posts. Please note, if you do not accept anonymous comments, you may be missing out on some feedback.
- You may post a locked post to ensure everything is correct, but it may not be unlocked prior to your posting date and must be unlocked before your master post is made to the community.
- The artwork and story may be posted together, separately, or both.
- It is okay to post a small teaser (3" x 5" or so is fine) or thumbnail to the community, however, if you are posting a larger piece of art (or multiple pieces), please put it behind an LJ cut.
- If you post to AO3, you may link to our 2020 NCIS Reverse Bang AO3 Collection.
- We appreciate links back to the community/challenge!
