Welcome back to another year of DSSS. This year we are making some changes.
First of all there will be changes to the AO3 tagset. This will run like a standard exchange with 3 requests to 1 match up carried out using AO3 algorithms, similar to how Summer Swap was run.
Requests will be visible from the start of sign ups. This allows for more transparency and longer time to start thinking about treats whether or not you decide to sign up to the main event.
There will be no beta check in. We recommend you get your work beta'd before submitting it to continue DSSS high standards. It is a gift after all. The mods will be checking for any glaring mistakes when you submit and will get in touch if anything needs amending.
That being said there will be a beta volunteer post at a later date so please ask if you are struggling to get a beta.
We are scrapping the rule that if you default on your main match you can't treat. We understand why this was done previously but we decided that life happens sometimes, and inspiration comes and goes when it feels like it. Nobody wants to default. But if you do, and later on you get inspiration for something else, there's nothing wrong with throwing more cake into the mix. Who doesn't love more cake at Christmas? We will still ensure that everybody who signs up gets a gift regardless.
The collection will be open earlier this year giving more time for contributions.
If you have any questions please comment on this post.
Sign ups are coming. Get ready! 
24-hour countdown! Treats! Reveals!

Dec. 14th, 2018 11:25 pmride_4everIf you expect that you won't make deadline, NOW is REALLY the time to tell the mods so we can arrange a pinch-hitter. If you default (don't make deadline and don't tell us you aren't making deadline) you will not be allowed to participate in next year's dSSS.
