Reminders

[paraka]

The deadline for fic is here! To submit your fic, just upload it to our AO3 Collection. Everyone should have an account by now and be a member of the collection. Fics will show up as unrevealed (ie. hidden to the public), so you'll still be able to make adjustments between the due date and the final reveal. Don't worry about your fic being 100% finished and polished—as long as you submit a draft that your partner can start to work with. So long as you get that draft in while it's still Saturday somewhere in the world, you're good re: the deadline.

Also, please remember that the author and podficcer(s) should be listed as co-author(s) so all group members can edit the post (to add the podfic in later, to add notes, etc.). Also, since the work will be unrevealed, the only way your partner(s) will be able to see the work is if they're also listed as an author.

If you're going to have trouble meeting your deadline, please let us know ASAP through the check-in post, a comment here, or email (pod.together at gmail dot com). We're happy to work out extensions for those who need them, so if you need a little more time, don't panic!

The comments of this post will be unscreened, so you can use them to celebrate, commiserate with, and encourage each other through this deadline

Thanks for the reminder. I have another question.

You are sure that no one else can see these, right? Just the collaborators? Because I have posted a very very very rough draft.

susan_voight and I are working together on the draft in gdocs. I think we will be able to meet the final deadline.

Well, klb and I can see it too, but don't worry, we're too busy adding \o/ marks to our spreadsheet to look at the stories in detail. Anyone else will see that you've uploaded a work, but it'll show as a mystery work, and if they click on it, they'll get a message that it'll be revealed as part of pod together. :)

[jelazakazone]

Thank god. Don't read it yet! It still needs lots of work:D I'm glad I could help you add an \o/ mark to your spreadsheet though. That's awesome!

jfc I need an extension. My podficcer be able to work with the story is not an issue-- she's on the GDoc's edit privileges. /panics anyway

[jelazakazone]

I am attempting not to panic. I have very limited time to work on this project and there is a lot I need to fix before my podficcer can record. *bites nails with you* We have time though! We can do this.

[klb]

Yep, if your podficcer is on gdoc with the story already, I'm definitely open to an extension. How's Tuesday?

[luciazephyr]

Fiiiiiine. I hope. /oh god

[klb]

Checking in on this—how much more time do you think you'll need?

[luciazephyr]

I've bailed out. Grene and Binz are doing each other's fics.

[klb]

Okay, thanks for letting us know.

[grenegome]

*raises hand, shuffles feet* Would it be possible for me to have an extension until Tuesday? I'm actually pretty much done, but I have totally failed to give myself any time to do the posting part this weekend, and the end of my fic could really do with an edit too. The other members of my team are up to date on my progress and have access to the fic.

(also, thank you very much for running this!)

[klb]

Ohhhhh, is each member of your group writing a separate story? Can you let me know the author/podficcer configurations so I can correct my spreadsheet? I had interpreted the sign-up as co-writing and then co-recording one story!

And yes, if your other group members have access to the fic, you may have until Tuesday.

[luciazephyr]

Grene is writing what I am reading. I am writing what Binz is reading. And Binz is writing what Grene is reading.

[grenegome]

Yes indeed, what Lucy said! Thank you very much :-)

[binz]

*comes in late, waves* What Lucy said. (Thank you!)

[elistaire]

Eeep! For whatever reason, I thought I just had to have the fic to the reader! (Which I did!) I'm glad I checked. : )

Fic is posted now. WHEW.
