DSSS Call for Pinch-hitters!

[sage]

Signups to be a pinch-hitter for DSSS 2011 are opening NOW!

Pinch-hitters can be anyone, whether or not you signed up for DSSS. If you can volunteer to help, please comment below with the following information:

1) your email address
2) your AO3 user name
3) giftwork format you can offer: FIC and/or ART

The challenge requirements are the same for pinch hitters as for regular participants: create well-crafted 1000+ word stories/equivalent effort for art, stay anonymous until Reveal Day, and meet your assignment deadline. If you have questions, please let us know. (dsss.admin @gmail .com)

Thank you all so much for volunteering! ♥

Dear Santa/Giftmaker letters, yay!

[sage]

Dear Santa/Giftmaker letters are a great way to elaborate on your requests and the sorts of things you enjoy or that you'd prefer not to see in the giftwork made for you. However, posting letters is totally optional; likewise, DSSS participants are not obligated by the details of their recipients' Dear Santa/Giftmaker letters. Optional things are optional, but requirements per your official assignment email are required.

We ask that you paste or link your letter in the comments of THIS post so as to make them all nice and easy to locate. If you comment with a link, remember to make your letter a public post in your own journal, since your Santa may not be on your access list and we want to maintain your Santa's anonymity. If your journal is absolutely friends-only, just paste your letter here.

You must stay anonymous until Reveal, so please refrain from openly discussing your assignments and -- especially -- from contacting your recipient! If you have questions about your assignment, simply ask us, your friendly-neighborhood mods. Give us a shout at dsss.admin at gmail .com & we'll happily relay questions to your recipient on your -- anonymous -- behalf.

Okay, that's everything for the moment. When you're ready, comment below with your letter/link! Thanks!
