small_giftsHello Small Gifters,
We wanted to drop in and interrupt the discussion post fun to say that you all are AWESOME!
We have heard from 43 out of 44 participants, either with a submission or an extension request. Thank you! Also, your response to the discussion posts is fabulous. You all are making small_gifts extra fabulous this year.
Over the next few days or so, we’ll be going through the entries that have been submitted so far to check for formatting issues. A couple of notes about formatting, and a few things we’re learning about DW:
- When we ‘reject’ a post (and we’re not really rejecting it. Why do they have to use that word? It’s so negative and that’s not how we feel about your entries) it seems to disappear completely. We can’t see it anymore and it seems that you can’t recover it. If someone knows something different, please tell us. To avoid any problems with lost entries, we will message or email you before we ‘reject’ (ugh) your entry to make sure you have a copy with all coding and such. If it is a small issue, we might decide to ask you to fix it when we post your gift to the fest.
- If you realise that you submitted your gift with an error you’d like to fix, let us know. It’s not problem to delete it from the queue and you can post again. We don’t mind rejecting you if you ask us to do it.
- The subject line is the most common issue so far this year. Please make sure it reads, “Type of gift: Title for Recipient.” In other words, if someone knitted socks with little dogs and wolves on them for their recipient, the subject line might read, “Handknitted Socks: Moony and Padfoot for Siriusheartsremus.” Another slight difference from LJ is that It looks as if you can’t insert the coding to link to a journal in the subject line — that seems to mess up the whole subject line.
That’s it for now! As always, please let us know if you have any questions at all.
Back to those discussion posts!
