The countdown begins... *drumroll*

Three more days until rs_small_gifts begins posting this year's stocking suffers!

A quick reminder, everyone: this is a gift exchange, which means that each person who signed up to receive a gift should write or draw one, too, so that everyone wakes up happy one morning this month. If there's any reason why you won't be able to make the December 20 deadline or deliver your gift, please let your mods know as soon as possible.

Conversely, if you're done early, turn in your gift by posting it (we won't make it public until the fest gets underway) and feel free to browse the list for a second wish you'd like to fulfill.

Can't wait!
Maggie

I need a little extension; just back from Hawaii, jetlag is kicking my ass and I need to play catch-up. I should only need a couple of days. :-)

Yay fic!

And you think telling your mods you're back from *Hawaii* is a good strategy for obtaining an extension? *smile* Welcome back! Let us know when it's coming. Yay, fic! M.

[moony]

Yeah, I know. It's a horrible excuse. :D Though, honestly? I spent a good chunk of that time either camped out in a stadium parking lot or in the actual stadium. Not much computer access there! :-D

Thanks!

Hey, how long is this fest actually running? Like, say I'm reading over the prompts and it's the 26th. What then? Do I post it here, are we letting stuff be done til the New Year? Or would it just go up on the RS LJ?

[busaikko]

I think having everything posted by New Years is a good deadline, as this is a holiday fest and that's about the end of the holiday. Though if you are writing to a fest prompt, I'm sure that person would like to see it here, so if you could just drop a note ('am 1/2way through prompt for kittehkat, will be done 1st week Jan'), we probably won't mind at all. Because we likes the fics, we do!

Thanks. It seems I thrive on torturing you with weird questions and random nudgings. XD

No, no, it was actually a good reminder to clarify things today or tomorrow; no worries. Love your icon, by the way. Maggie

Hi! I want to ask about crossposting, after two weeks of only having stuff on my journal. :( Can we, and when?

I also have a paranoid question: suppose someone's LJ cut has gone wrong, and they haven't realised? Would the mods catch it in time and take the fic down again AT ONCE? I mean, if the author wasn't around and missed it? To save someone totally misery and humiliation?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, we'll check all the LJ cuts as we make the posts public and get back to you if for some reason they don't work. I make this kind of mistake a lot, so I always check twice. If you're leaving for a while and want us to post yours before you go to be certain, just let us know. (Actually, come to think of it, since yours is in the queue (I think?) it'll go up between the 16th and 20th, just FYI.)

About cross-posting, will reply this evening with post all about fine print. Maggie

[minnow-53.livejournal.com]

Yes, mine's in the queue, and I was worried because I may be away this weekend: but if I know you're checking for glitches, there shouldn't be a problem! Thanks for replying, and I'll look out for the crossposting post. :)

I will not be able to post my drawing by tomorrow. I can post it only on Thursday. Is it okay...?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

That's great, see it then! M.

[remeciel.livejournal.com]

Lovely! thank you. :)

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Okay! Maggie

[azureflight.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to let you know that my drawing is thisclose to being done - it probably won't be up by midnight, but most definitely within a few hours after that. Sorry for cutting it so close (I ended up getting really into it!) and thanks. :)
