Almost almost time!

You guys! This year's archive is very nearly ready to go! Every participant has at least one present waiting for them, thanks to the efforts of our dedicated pinch hitters (and, of course, to all of you). I'm going to have one more double-check through the entries for this year, making sure they all look the way they should. I'm planning on opening the archive at 8 or 9 Chicago Time tonight.

woooooooohooooo!

Wahooooooooo!

Okay! It's time! The archive is now OPEN FOR BROWSING!!

*dances*

A few quick notes:

* ETA: If you are already logged in at the archive with your seekrit participant ID, PLEASE LOG OUT before you comment on a post!! Then you can click to sign in from the entry, choose "livejournal" on the right of the next page and enter your LJ name in the box. If you're already logged into LJ, you'll end up at a page where LJ asks if you want to let the archive sign you in (none of your LJ password stuff ends up at the archive -- you are just giving us permission to look at your LJ cookie. *g*).

Alternately, you can also sign up for a commenting only account at the archive with a different ID you can comment anonymously (if you enter your name in the blank spot provided, it'll appear in the comment, too).

* Contributions were published in order of posting date this year, so if you submitted early (or were a pinch hitter), your story is going to be right up at the top of the page. (Thanks, smart person who suggested this and who I can't quite pinpoint at the current moment!)

* The fastest way to find your own present(s) is to look for your name in the "categories" list on the right hand side of the page and click it -- that'll take you right to your gift.

* aingeal8c and dragonflymuse: you each have two lovely gifts this year!

All right, I think that's it! Merry Holidays to those of you who are celebrating something! And to all of you, enjoy!
