Deadline

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

The deadline is today. Unless we've agreed on an extension (or you've already sent in your fic/art, obviously), you should send me your fic/art by the end of the day. If there are any problems and you need a few more days, please let me know. Don't disappear at the last minute just because you were too shy to ask for an extension.

Posting starts tomorrow. Because of the large number of participants, I will be posting two fics (or drawings) per day, not just one like in the previous rounds. I hope nobody minds that change. I mostly didn't want anyone to have to wait over six weeks to see their gift.

And the usual request to all members of the community, not just the participants: please comment. That should go without saying, but unfortunately it doesn't. Of course nobody expects you to read fics you're not interested in, but if you read something anyway and you like it, please take a minute or two to tell the author (or artist) that you appreciate their work. It doesn't need to be long; short feedback is better than no feedback.If you can take ten minutes to read a fic, you can take another minute to write a comment. :) Thanks.

That was my modly nagging of the day. I hope that everyone enjoyed participating so far, and that everyone will like their gift. :)

Had unexpected work load increase pop up just before weekend. I should probably be able to end editing today, but I'd like to ask for extension until tomorrow just in case.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks for letting me know. :)

[guad.livejournal.com]

I'm almost done, you'll get it between today and two days :) (that rhymes! XDDD)
Just send it through :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Got it. :)

[iorwen107.livejournal.com]

Multiple gifts a day sounds just like Christmas! Can't wait.
Thanks again for organizing!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I figured the posting would take way too long otherwise. :)

[cheeseandmoons.livejournal.com]

Hey ; u ; i /may/ need an extension. maybe just a day. The week has been busier than i expected. I still think i can make it in time. but i'll be cutting it close. ( plus this is turning out longer than i planned it to be ack )

Also, is it allright if i submit it without having it beta-d? I can run it through a spell check and read through it again and again looking for inconsistencies and mistakes and what not. but is that okay? without a beta? ; u ;

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, then send it in tomorrow.

I'm not forcing anyone to have their fic beta'd; you have to know if you find all the typos and mistakes yourself or not. ;) If your fic isn't too long, I can also proof-read it for you when you send it in, if you want me to.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay. :)

[juno-chan.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeee, I'm excited! I was thinking yesterday "Oh, must submit fic" and it took me another few minutes to realize "AND THAT MEANS POSTING STARTS MONDAY YAAAAY!!!" The least-awful-non-holiday-Monday in quite awhile! XD

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I'm always ridiculously excited about the posting in other exchanges, too. Compulsive checking, "has my gift been posted yet what will I get I need to know nooooooooow".

[kynical.livejournal.com]

You'll have it by the extension date (maybe before). As for two fics or drawing a day....somehow we'll manage to deal with the extra burden of fic or pretty pictures. /martyrdom

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

It's my way of punishing everyone for not meeting the deadline, I will post two fics a day, bwahahaha. Worst evil plan ever.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I should be done by my extension date but if I wrap it up earlier, I'll send it along. I'm looking forward to the posting!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay. :) Posting is always fun. People's reactions to their gifts make organising this whole thing worth it.

[soavantgarde.livejournal.com]

So my body is an asshole (and I overestimated myself waiting until the week before to start my fic, oops) and I got sick this week and I still haven't finished. I should be done by today, but my friend said that she'd beta it for me, so do you think I could possibly get an extension until Monday or Tuesday? If that's all right and I need to send you what I have so far, please just let me know. If it's not, like I said, I'm pretty sure I can finish today, I'd just like to polish it before sending it in. Thanks again for taking care of all of this. :)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

No problem, just send it to me by Tuesday when your beta is done with it. :)

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Gah, life conspired, and I haven't had a chance to finish. A couple more days, and I'll be able to wrap it up. Sorry for the late notice!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Do you think you'll be done by Wednesday? And would you mind sending me your draft so I know the fic is coming along? I'm paranoid, I'm sorry. ;)

[outboxed.livejournal.com]

Guess who needs an extension? Big surprise, am I right? I am so surprised at myself. I am shocked. I bet you are, too. But, yeah, I will get the fic to you in good time. In the meantime, feel free to set me any new and exciting deadline you choose (in fact, even if you said, 'no extension for you, you must do your duty and complete your task in good time, as ordered,' I could probably get it done by midnight - I just don't think that'd be the best fic ever).

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING AT ALL. Hey, guess who told me they might even finish long before the deadline this time? ;) But you have a Tim/Raylan icon, so I can't be mad at you. Not that I could be mad at you if I tried. okay, new and exciting deadline for you: Wednesday. That okay?

[calypsolaninfa.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry, but would a couple days of extension be okay? I thought I'd manage to finish my fic in time, but I just couldn't seem to deal with uni starting :/

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay. When do you think you'll be done?

[embossedsilver.livejournal.com]

Yay for posting!

I should probably have it to you within the extension--if I can't, I will let you know ASAP.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank you.

[lesoleilluna.livejournal.com]

I'd like to ask for a one or two day extension, I've been sick this past week and that really messed with my writing schedule. =(
The fic is almost done, but I'd like to have another day or two to just polish it off, before sending it in. I hope that's okay, I'm really sorry!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

It's no problem, don't worry. Tuesday it is then. :)

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

So excited to read/see everything!!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Yay for general exchange excitement. :D

[redbells.livejournal.com]

Would it be possible to snag an extension until Tuesday? The fic is mostly done but I've got the mother of all sinus infections and I'm having a hard time focusing right now - I don't want to turn the fic in and then realize it's full of plot holes and grammar errors. That is my worst nightmare, tbh. The extension would give my meds time to kick and get my brain back to firing on all cylinders!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem. I hope you'll feel better soon. :)

[midnightblack07.livejournal.com]

I hate to do this again, but just to be on the safe side, would it be okay for me to have a couple of days extension??

My weekend turned out to be far more hectic than I anticipated, and while I'll definitely try my absolute best to get it in by tonight, I don't want to rush it to the point where I'm handing in something sub-par :(

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, I understand. Just send it to me in the next few days and all is well. :)

[okami-no-yume.livejournal.com]

Oh boy. I'm going to try to get it in by tonight, but if not, I'll get it in by tomorrow. No later than Tuesday.

I've been rather busy. I apologize if mine comes in a bit late. I'm writing furiously right now to get it finished.^^

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I'm so relieved to hear from you, I was afraid you had disappeared. ;) Okay, Tuesday is fine.

[tempisfugit.livejournal.com]

eeps, will it be a huge problem if I get it to you tomorrow? I feel bad asking, and I'm trying really hard to get it in tonight...

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow is okay, if you don't manage to finish tonight.

[minebyrights.livejournal.com]

It should be in in a few minutes! Just one question (if anyone with exchange experience can answer)--by text file, do you mean rich text, or do you mean just copy-pasted in the body of the email. (I can do either, just wondering.)

Thanks!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I meant rich text. It's the best way to avoid any problems with the formatting, imo. :)

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

yay for the posting beginning today! ;) \o/ and well I think dealing with two each day won't be a sacrifice. ;) *is excited*

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if it's a good idea because people don't really have unlimited reading time, but then I figured that most people don't read every single fic anyway. ;)

[breve.livejournal.com]

Sorry I wasn't available to reply to this earlier! I wanted to confirm that I am using the extension I requested (I'm sure you've guessed by now!) to finish things up, and will have my submission to you as soon as possible this week. Thanks!

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Okay, no problem. :)
