DSSS - 2 weeks and counting...

[sage]

Darling DSSS-ers, we have two weeks left until December 17. Upload procedures for writers, artists, and vidders will be going up soon.

If you're panicking, BREATHE! In...out, in...out. You can do it, I promise. Remember, fic only needs to be 1000 words (no max limit). Art & vids need equivalent effort. You can totally pull it together by December 17th! *has complete faith in all of you*

ARTISTS & VIDDERS:
Please check in at mergatrude's (screened) post here! Thank you!

BETAS & CHEERLEADERS:
Do you need a cheerleading team and/or betas? Can you volunteer to cheerlead or beta? This link's for you! New volunteers are welcome right up to the eleventh hour, so if you discover you have a little free time, I know your help would be welcome. Likewise, creators, feel free to draw on the resources the betas & cheerleaders are offering!

PINCH HITTING:
If you can volunteer to pinch hit, here's where to sign up. HUGE THANKS to everyone who's volunteered so far. We sincerely hope we won't need to call upon many of you, but having you all as a safety net makes the difference in a successful exchange and we appreciate you beyond words! Thank you all! <3

DEFAULTING:
If you absolutely need to default, we understand! We'll still love you! We get that life gets crazy sometimes and unexpected things happen. Two weeks is still a fair bit of time to write, make art, and vid, though, so if you you can finish your entry by the 17th, wonderful! That's our goal for everyone! On the other hand, if, rationally speaking, there's simply no way you can meet the deadline, then we ask you to PLEASE email us as soon as possible so we can give the pinch hitter as much time to meet the request as possible. Many, many thanks!

As always, if you have any questions (for us or for your recipient), no matter how weird or last-minute, please come find us at dsss.admin at gmail and we'll see what we can do to help.

YAY DSSS 2010 and BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!! \o/


p.s. So, how's your panic level?

• Finished! Woohoo!
• Nearly done! Yay!
• Still working, but everything's right on track! \o/
• I've...started? >.>
• I know what I'm doing! I just, uh, haven't begun. Yet. *stares at calendar*
• Here, bunny-bunny?? (Oh god.)
• BEARS, srsly, BEARS.

Feel free to flail in comments, and, cheerleaders, you may want to take this opportunity to step up with the proverbial high kicks and pompoms! Good luck, everybody! \o/

Art and Vids

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to write up the instructions on posting art and vids, and I just thought I'd check the numbers.

If you are making art, graphics, icon sets and/or vids or vidlets for your recipient, could you please comment on this post. Comments are screened, so no one will know.

Thank you kindly.
