2014 DYW post and spreadsheet

Oct 17, 2014 14:11

Optional details are optional, but some of us like to expound on our optional details more than the AO3 sign-up allows, and these expanded details can be valuable for writers. Hence letters were born. A Dear Yuletide Writer letter lists the 3-6 fandoms you requested for Yuletide, as well as any additional information you want to add that you didn't ( Read more... )

Thank you! It's been sitting around for so long (this must be the first year I've ever managed to finish it early) that I'd quite forgotten I never unlocked it when I stopped fiddling with it.

Hmmm, I have no horse in this race, but the "no letters from the first letters post will be indexed on the current spreadsheet" seems a bit harsh. What if there are newbies who don't do LJ, happened to catch/be linked to the first letters post, went away happy that they'd successfully navigated LJ, and never realized there was another letter post coming? I'd hate for them to miss out on the master spreadsheet.

(I just remember being a newbie last year, and how confusing it was at first. Especially since I didn't do LJ until then.)

I agree. Considering how many letters there were last year, it can't be that hard to incorporate ~85 more into the spreadsheet.

+1 I'm about to email you to volunteer, and I'd certainly be willing to bring over the letters from the first post/spreadsheet (or see if the spreadsheeter wants to merge/help?)!

Yeah, that seems bizarre. Why make people post twice? All the info is already there, in the same format, even.
