Checkpoints:
Checkpoints are the mods way of making sure that you are on track and will be able to finish by the due date. You can let them know here if you are going to have trouble meeting the word count and you may downgrade here.
We encourage you to have your fic read by at least two betas - this way it's absolutely perfect by the due date!
Extensions are only granted in certain circumstances; please contact a mod if you would like to request one.
Emails will be sent out when dates from the timeline approach.
