Reminders, announcements, and clarifications
A few things that I wanted to get out there (in no particular order):
- Since there were just a handful of people who ended up fully participating in the Odds 'n' Ends round, there won't be an awards session. I will, however, still be making some kind of special graphic for all of the participants to display. Thanks for your hard work, guys!
- When I set the Love in Full Bloom Exchange deadline for midnight the night of May 18 (which is this upcoming Sunday!), I forgot to mention that I will be keeping time according to standard U.S. East Coast Daylight Savings Time. All of the proper time zone conversions can also be Googled. ;-) (Thanks to charma_10 for bringing this to my attention!)
- With the submission deadline for the current exchange fast approaching, it's important to remember your basic checklist:
- Have you and your beta made sure that you've got all of your t's crossed and your i's dotted, so to speak? (This means grammar, spelling, HTML coding, etc.) Is your story in either Microsoft Word or Notepad/TextEdit format?
- Do you have the proper header and footer forms filled out and attached correctly to your fic?
- Does your beta know to contact with his/her confirmation either at this post or via email?
The list of volunteer beta readers is here, along with a few other resources where you can find one, and one other person is available via email upon request. - Remember that you're most certainly allowed to submit your finished fic early as well! Two of the sixteen participants have already done so.
