Assignment Deadline and Default Deadline

Dec 04, 2016 22:00

Your assignments are due in 2 weeks, at 9am UTC on 18 December.

See when that is in your timezone.
See countdown.

Before this deadline, you need to have uploaded a complete story of 1,000 or more words for one of your recipient’s fandoms, including all the characters they required you to include. It’s okay if the story is not your final draft - you can keep editing - but it should be a story that can stand on its own as a story.

Halfway between now and then, at 9am UTC on 11 December (in your timezone | a countdown) is the default deadline. If you default before the deadline and you have not defaulted in recent Yuletides, you can sign up next year with no problem. If you default after the deadline, or if you default before the deadline but you have also defaulted in a recent Yuletide, you may need to complete a NYR fic or other fic to sign up again. More details are here in the FAQ. You don’t need to tell us why you’re defaulting - simply press the default button.

However, we hope everything’s on track. You have many resources to help you finish your story, including:
  • the IRC chat - a friendly space to chat about writing and get research help, beta help, and motivation
  • the beta post - here you can find someone to look over your story for you, or you can volunteer to give feedback on others’ stories
  • the mods - if you have a question about your assignment, or a general question, feel free to ask us at yuletideadmin@gmail.com
  • the community in general - if you have a question that doesn’t give away what you’re writing, you can ask in the comments to this post.


At present, we have some outstanding beta requests in the IRC chat header. Please sign in to chat or contact the mods if you could help beta for Trails of Cold Steel or Dangan Ronpa 3.

Good luck, everyone! Feeling all right?

schedule, 2016
