sageCall for BETAS & CHEERLEADERS
HELLO & WELCOME! We are so grateful to you for helping our participants out! Please comment below with the following information:
I want to cheerlead!
I want to beta!
The Beta Run-down
Participants, we hope you all are brimming with ideas and know just what you want to write/make art/vid! Please remember that we expect all fic, art, and vids to be beta'd and to reflect DSSS's standards for well-crafted giftworks. Remember also to leave enough time between beta and deadline to edit your work!
As always, what you're making and who you're making it for must remain ANONYMOUS until Reveal. That means DO NOT ask your recipient to be your beta or cheerleader! It would be best for beta readers not to be participants in DSSS at all, but if it's necessary, please be circumspect!
If you need a beta & none of the offers in the comments below fits the bill, you're welcome to email the mods at dsss.admin at gmail.com and we will post an anonymized beta request on your behalf.
All Works are DUE: Sunday, December 18, 11:59pm Chicago time.

Dear Santa/Giftmaker letters
Multiple Works
Last, we have one important clarification about multiple works: you MAY, if you want to, create more than one giftwork for your recipient. The essential requirement is that everyone must write or make ONE well-crafted 1000-word story, an equivalent effort work of art, or a 1.5 minute vid. Once you manage that, you may then (optionally!) create bonus giftworks based on any of your recipient's requests. You are only required to create ONE giftwork that meets the challenge requirements. When we get to the uploading phase, we'll ask that primary works be uploaded first, so we know that every recipient has something of mininum length/artistic effort safely in the system. (More on uploading in December.)
Thanks again, and please drop us an email if you have any questions!
