Check-in post

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

The deadline is in a bit less than two weeks, on Sunday, July 13th. Please reply to this post to let me know whether you will be able to finish your fic/art in time or not. If you have to drop out, please tell me now so I can find a pinch-hitter. Don't wait until the deadline to drop out, and don't just disappear without a word. If you think you will need a small extension, please tell me as soon as possible, but I'd appreciate if everyone could at least try to meet the deadline. If you don't reply to this post in the next few days, you'll get an e-mail from me. Obviously you don't have to check in with me if you've already sent me your fic.

A few things to remember when you send your fic/art to me:

1) Include a header in the following format:
Title:
Author/Artist:
For:
Pairings/Characters:
Rating:
Words:
Warnings: (don't forget to warn for spoilers)
Prompt:
(Summary, if the prompt was rather vague)

2) Fics should ideally be sent in as text files (.txt). doc, docx and odt are also fine.

3) Fic writers: please include html coding for italics etc. Make sure your formatting works and that there is a BLANK LINE between every two paragraphs, i.e. that you hit enter twice after every paragraph, not just once. You have to do this manually. It is not enough to tell Word to leave a bigger space between paragraphs because that will not show up when your fic is copied & pasted on LJ. I know that should be obvious, but there's always someone who forgets about it and it makes fics pretty hard on the eyes.

4) Your fic should be beta read or at least spell-checked very thoroughly. If you don't know anyone who can beta for you, please contact someone from this list.

Thank you. If you have any problems or questions, please talk to me.

I should be able to make the deadline! I accidentally signed up for a couple of other fests that all end relatively around the same time, so at most I might need an extra day or two, but I'm going to try and not let that happen.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. Just let me know if you end up needing a few extra days. :)

[ladybird97.livejournal.com]

I will definitely make the deadline. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thank you. :)

[housecreepy.livejournal.com]

I should be able to make the deadline- going to begin writing this week (I have an outline & notes).

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. :)

[pfalz666.livejournal.com]

I've only gotten about a third through, but I should hopefully be able to finish on time. At most I might need a couple of days.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, let me know if you end up needing a few days more.

[netgirl-y2k.livejournal.com]

After a few false starts it's coming together nicely. I may end up cutting it kind of close to the wire, but I shouldn't need any extra time.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thank you. :)

[shadowsfan.livejournal.com]

I am confident that I will finish on time. Not quite there yet, but I will get it finished.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. :)

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit lacking in inspiration rn but I'm sure I'll get it done as always! :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will, thanks. :)

[dawnerah.livejournal.com]

I'll make it. :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. :)

[averita.livejournal.com]

Had some trouble getting started and finally ditched the prompt I was hoping to make work, but luckily the second prompt is cooperating much more nicely. I think I'm in good shape, and will let you know if that changes for any reason!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I feel like some prompts just don't want to be written. ;) Thanks for checking in.

[mautadite.livejournal.com]

i've started, and am pretty confident i can get it done on time. will tell you if that changes.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank you. :)

[dehautdesert.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Well, I've left everything except the beginning and the ending to the last minute, but have no fear--I will have it done on time :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Last minute is the best time to do things. ;) Thanks.

[saboten-san.livejournal.com]

In the middle of it but I'll finish on time. :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. :)

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

I'm figuring out some stuff but I'm definitely making it to the deadline unless it gets long, but I have the feeling it might be one of the few times it's actually manageable so I should be good.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

A short(er) fic from you, I'm shocked. ;) Good luck finishing it. :)

[breve.livejournal.com]

I should be good!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks.

[trebuchettully.livejournal.com]

Should be fine for the deadline! Looking forward to seeing all the work together!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thank you. :)

[flyingharmony.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to make it on time! I will be out of town without my laptop by the time it's due, so if nothing goes wrong I'll be finishing rather soon :D (if I won't, I'll get in touch about a few days of extension but let's assume that I will be fine for now :))

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, good luck finishing your fic, and let me know if you end up needing a few more days. :)

[schattenfalke.livejournal.com]

I can definitely make the deadline. Can't wait to see everyone's work!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank you. :)

[oxfordsplice.livejournal.com]

I think I am on track as long as my job doesn't kick into high gear.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay. Let me know if you end up needing some extra time. :)

[emynithilien.livejournal.com]

Aiming to make the deadline. Just need to sit down for a good, uninterrupted stretch of time with music playing to knock this thing out.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank you. :)

[vanaofthevalar.livejournal.com]

Good to go here!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks. :)

[crossingwinter.livejournal.com]

Missed the initial post! Thanks for reblogging on tumblr!
I'll be able to make the deadline. I'm wallowing in the structural beta stage right now but should be out of that soon. Depending on life, I might even be able to pitch-hit? IDK if you need that.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

No problem, I know how easy it is to miss stuff on LJ and especially on tumblr.
And I'm glad to hear that. So far nobody has dropped out yet, but I'm sure someone will sooner or later. I might ask you then and you can see if you think you'll be able to help out. :) Thanks.

[korax9.livejournal.com]

I should manage it!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks. :)

[lfvrclara.livejournal.com]

I will be able to finish it on time !!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. :)

[elalendi.livejournal.com]

I'm good to go, sorry for not seeing this post earlier.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

No problem, thanks for checking in now. :)

[snowbryneich.livejournal.com]

I should be done on time.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks. :)
