Pinch Hitting For Yuletide

General reminder: remember to include AO3 name when trying to claim pinch hits
Wake up email

The wake up call has been sent out - if you received the email, you're already signed up for the pinch hit mailing list. If you should have received the email and didn't, please check your spam filters.

And now for the general explanation and details:

I was shocked when I received the wake up email and realized I hadn't received an assignment. I went to AO3 and the form which I had carefully filled and submitted wasn't on my assignments or sign ups. I'll try to catch a pinch hit, but I am very disappointed and I don't know what went wrong with my submission form because it was sent on time and after I cleared a couple of mistakes it seemed to go through.

Assignments have not gone out yet! The wake up email is usually sent to the pinch hit list a few hours or days early. I can also see your signup on the collection page - you can double-check this by opening the Yuletide 2015 collection page and clicking on the 'My Sign-up' link on the left.

Ooh!!! That's a huge relief! I search the 'my sign ups' from my own profile and it didn't show - it didn't occur to me that I had to check it from the yuletide side. Thanks so much for letting me know it's fine after all. :)

In general it *should* be showing up on your profile as well on this page in particular. If you don't have a link to your signup there, you can report the bug to AO3 support - they might be able to assist you with this issue.

Also, possibly putting the cart before the horse - there's this? http://yuletide-admin.livejournal.com/182221.html
If you haven't signed up for Yuletide but are on the pinch-hit list, keep the tagset handy amidst the flurry. Break it out in case of successful PH. (I like to attempt to fill these. I've been on both sides, it's a special kind of Treat.)

Shusu, if people add prompts to that 2014 post, we will not see them or collect them. Let's make sure there's a road before considering cart or horse.

We will definitely link the tag set when asking for prompts from pinch hitters.

Do not post to the post Shusu has suggested above.

Yes, that was a happy email!
