desireearmfeldtThe deadline has past, the submissions are in (except for a couple of pinch hits)! Congratulations to all! *\o/*
.....now what? you may be wondering.
Well, the collection will go live on the night of the 24th. At that time, you'll be able to read/view/listen to all the delicious gifts, but the makers' names will still be secret until January 1st.
Between now and then, here are two things you can do to keep the dSSS excitement burning.
1) Give your posted fanwork(s) another proof-reading pass. Catch those last couple of pesky typos, lost commas, missing or extraneous words. Make sure you have not accidentally included Seekrit info, such as your own name or your beta's name. I promise you, there is nearly always something to find! :)
2) Make treats for your fellow participants, pinch-hitters, and mods! Go to the AO3 collection for this exchange, view everyone's requests, and fulfill one of them. Detailed instructions here.
Our two pinch-hitters are verushka70 and dance_across. Your mods are DesireeArmfeldt, Ride_Forever and squidgie. They may comment on the main treats post with requests, though so far, none of us has actually done so. :)
Treats are basically like regular gifts, with a few slight differences:
1. No minimums for word count or artistic effort.
2. Our quality standards for all works are still in place, including spelling and grammar. Small gifts are still gifts, after all! Treats that don't meet DSSS quality standards may be removed at the discretion of the mods. However, because of the short turn-around time for Treats, you are not required to have them beta'ed -- though we still strongly encourage you to do so.
3. Allowing other gift formats not named in someone's request and relaxing the length/effort requirement are the only rules changes we're permitting. We expect Treats to respect the recipient's requested characters/relationships and any DNW info (including Dear Santa letters).
4. Art, vidlet, or podfic Treats must be hosted on the DSSS servers. Like all DSSS works, Treats are SEEKRIT until Reveal!
5. Remember to use the "DSSS Treat" tag on your treat.
