Reminder: 10 days

[just_katarin]

I just wanted to toss up a reminder here that heroes_holidays fics are due in a little under 10 days. Fics are due by midnight PST on the 24th. I hope everyone is having fun and if you need a beta, don't forget to check out the beta post so we can help you out.

Happy writing and I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season!

Oh, thank god they're not due until Christmas. I thought for some reason they were due tomorrow and was freaking out because I have been swamped with final exams. @__@;;

[just_katarin]

dude... what kind fo sociopath do you think I am? And beleive me, I TOTALLY feel you re: swamped. Between Finals and getting everything ready for my new job it's been non stop DRAMA for me.

[shuraiya]

Hahaha, I don't know. But I am SO relieved that we have until Christmas, I thought I was going to have to drop out. XD;

Talk about stumbling at the last minute!
I've just started a new job and will be moving in the next few days... And I have yet to finish my fic. Let me know what I should do! Thanks!

[just_katarin]

do you think you'll have it done by the 24th or, by the 1st? If not, let me know and we can send out for another pinch-hit.

[sarah82]

Could I have till the 1st? I'm pretty much done, I just need time to sit and write.

[just_katarin]

we've already granted some one an extension to the 27th, do you think that would be sufficient time to finish? Or do you absolutely need till the 1st?

This is going to sound ridiculous, I know it, but I'm delusional from writing. Are the stories due tonight, when it turns the 24th, or tomorrow night, as the 24th is ending?

[just_katarin]

no it's not ridiculous, midnight is one of those weird times, where you can't really be certain. It's due tomorrow, when it's going to soon be the 25th, cause more time is always a good thing and getting shit in at the last minute is like, my mantra in life.

[quarterturn]

You are so awesome. I may spontaneously combust from joy at having another full day to work on it. :D

[just_katarin]

anything that allows these to get written! I too need more time to work on mine.

Yo...last minute question

[toxictattoo]

Do you want headers? Anything identifying at the top of the fic on who it's for, title, ratings etc? Did you have a standard format or will you be putting it into a standard format once you receive the fic?

Re: Yo...last minute question

[just_katarin]

i would prefer a header, please. I was hoping to be uploading the fics with this type of header:

Title: of Fic
Recipient: of fic
Author: is a mystery!
Rating: of fic
Pairing/Characters: in fic

but if you don't put a header then it'll be ok.

Re: Yo...last minute question

[toxictattoo]

[grin] Tis cool. I want to make things easier for you when you start uploading.

Re: Yo...last minute question

[eisoj5]

Is it okay if I don't include which characters are in the fic? It'll become evident as you go along...

[limmenel]

I was just finishing up my fic and I was about to send it in when I realized that it's got some funky HTML on it, which I don't think I can copy-and-paste into an email. Can I attach my fic as a .txt file, ready to be copied and pasted directly into LiveJournal?

[just_katarin]

please! Anything you need to do to preserve the style of the fic you wrote we are more than happy to upload for you!
