ds_ssdiscussionHello all!
The AO3 collection is open for submissions! Are you excited? We're excited!
Separate posts with detailed instructions about how to post fic / art / podfic / vids will be up soon.
Meanwhile, a couple of notes about submitting your giftwork to the collection:
1) The deadline for posting your giftwork is 11:59 p.m. Chicago time, December 14th. You can post any time between now and then.
If you are not going to be able to complete your giftwork, please let the mods know ASAP so we can find a pinch-hitter to make something for your recipient.
2) The collection is moderated, which means that your submitted giftwork will not appear in the collection until the mods approve it. We will send you an email letting you know that your submission has been approved or alerting you if there is something preventing us from approving it. You can also check the status of your work in AO3 by going to your "My Assignments" list.
3) You can continue editing your giftwork after it's been posted to the collection. However, we strongly encourage you to post an as-final-as-possible version: it makes it easier for the mods to review your submission, and you can rest easy knowing that the most you have to do is chase down those last few elusive typos!
If you prefer to post a rough draft and do your edits within AO3, please email the mods to let us know you're doing so, and we will defer looking at your submission until you tell us it's finalized. If you go this route, do please remember to email us again when you're ready for us to take a look! :)
4) We expect a high standard of quality, meaning that gifts should represent careful effort by the creators, and should be proofread for typos, spelling and similar "rough edges." If the mods consider your fanwork requires it, you may be asked to correct/revise your work before we can approve it.
5) Remember that ALL primary giftworks need to be beta-ed, including art/vids/podfic. (For treats, we strongly encourage betas, but do not require them.) If you still need to find a beta, check out the beta volunteer post on DW or or contact the mods at dsss.admin AT gmail DOT com for help.
Finished early? Extra-excited about gift-giving? Starting December 7th, requests will be made visible so that people can make Treats for participants, pinch-hitters or mods. Instructions about Treats will be posted then. (But make sure you finish your main gift before getting excited about making extra Treats!)
Works will go live in the evening of December 24th. Reveal Day is January 1st.
And if you have questions about posting, the posting information is here.
Cheering you all on! *\o/*

Then we can see what happens... whether you'll still have an 'assignment' listed or not. Or, if you do, if there is a way (maybe after everything is open and creators are revealed) to quietly kill your assignment without the end result listing your assignment as 'default'. I have some stuff to beta but I'm going to get on yours first since you've been patiently waiting the longest. My apologies. It has just been one of those Murphy's Law weeks. Sigh.
Approved

And thank you very, very much for being the experimental subject! Even if it doesn't work perfectly, your solution sounds about 1000x easier than what we were contemplating before it became impossible because people started posting.
