Early Writing Deadline Announcement

[klb]

Hi everyone,

We’re thrilled to hear from so many groups at check-in that writing is going well so far. For some groups, writing is nearly finished! We mods have been talking together about a way to celebrate early finishing, and we’ve decided to implement an optional early writing submission deadline this year, which will be August 1st. Like the early podfic submission deadline, the early writing submission deadline will be the Wednesday before the normal deadline (which is on a Sunday). And, like the early podfic submission deadline, the early writing submission deadline will help the project have an earlier posting date. Here’s how posting order will work this year:

1. projects that met the early writing AND early podfic submission deadlines


2. projects that met the early writing OR early podfic submission deadlines*


3. all other projects

We know this twist is coming a bit late in the game, and we want to be clear that it’s totally fine to NOT shoot for the early deadline. If it feels exciting and motivating to aim for that date, go for it! If it feels stressful, feel free to ignore it entirely. The number one most important thing is that you and your partner have an enjoyable collaborative experience.

Please let us know if you have any questions. If not, we look forward to hearing from you at the next check-in!

Best,
Mods
