Deadline tomorrow!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Small Gifts due at midnight your time tomorrow! A few reminders:

1) Beta! Drop by the beta lounge if you need help or can lend a hand with the beta process.

2) Please format your fic:

* Place both title and recipient in the subject line (Fic: Five Times Remus and Sirius Almost Forgot Peter's Birthday for Busaikko)

* Make sure that your fic or art has a header that includes a clear rating. (R for non-explicit sexual content, NC-17 for explicit sexual content) Remember, this is mixed-age community, and the underage folks need to avoid gifts with explicit content.

* Place your fic or art under an lj-cut. Here's how to do that, if you have any questions.

A header textbox, for those of you who'd like one:

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Written for:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Prompt:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Any other notes, warnings, etc.:</b>

3) Running late? E-mail Maggie at magnetic.pole.too at gmail dot com, reassuring her that you are indeed working on it and letting her know when you think you can finish up.

Good luck, everyone!

Your mods,
busaikko and magnetic_pole

Finally, a huge THANK YOU, both to those of you who have posted your gifts already and to all the members of the comm who have been commenting. The fic, art, and feedback have all been great!

Hiya, I'm trying to post my second gift and all it says is 'Maximum queued posts for this community+poster combination reached.' What should I do?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Hm....I think if you have one thing in the queue you can't submit another? I'll post your first gift tomorrow, and you can resubmit after that. Thanks for doing a second! M.

[solidbaby.livejournal.com]

See, that's what I would've thought, but you just posted my first gift, so, unless I've double posted my second (it would be called 'Heart Cup' if it's there), I don't really know what's happening.

Thank you for your help ^^

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry, just looked in the queue, not at the gifts already posted! "Heart Cup" is indeed in the queue, and "Attachment to Tinsel" went up yesterday. Do you have an updated version of "Heart Cup"? I can reject the one in the queue so you can post again, if you'd like. Maggie

[solidbaby.livejournal.com]

My computer didn't give me a little 'succesfully posted' thing so I didn't see the first version going through. I don't have an updated version.

Thank you for being so kind after my misunderstandings!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

No worries! Glad everything's fine. M.

[such_heights]

Ack, just realised I made a mistake in my post, so I'm submitting again - can you delete the first one? Thanks!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

No trouble, off to do so. M.

[taigne.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for all your hard work on this mods! It's been so great so far, can't wait for the rest of the month's pressies!

I'm having the same problem as solidbaby was, I've submitted my first and now get the too many in queue notice, so shall I wait til you've posted the first and send the second then?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks to you, too! I'm also having a lot of fun with this fest.

I'll try to post yours as soon as possible. As soon as your first leaves the queue, you can post the second. Maggie

I was wondering if you could check the queue sometime before 2pm EST tommarow afternoon? Because if I did do something wrong in my post and it's rejected I'd like to be able to fix it before the deadline. I work from 2:30 late into the night tommarow, I have a weird shift. XD Thanks for everything. <3

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Looks fine! M.

[gollisd.livejournal.com]

1. My email isn't working right now, so.. um... sorry?

2. This weekend was the best of my life, but I got nothing I needed to do done.

3. Is Wednesday okay?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Sounds fine. Thanks for letting us know. Maggie

[ekaterin24.livejournal.com]

I haven't been "friended" by rs_small_gifts so I can't post to it. What do I do?

This means I won't be able to send till Tuesday (Eastern time, U.S.) since I'm going to sleep soon...

Thank you for all your hard work on this delightful community!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

You can go the comm's profile page (http://community.livejournal.com/rs_small_gifts/profile) and click where you see the phrase: To join this community, click here. (Currently, you're just watching the comm, not a member, which is why it won't let you post.)

Glad you're enjoying! I'm having a lot of fun with the gifts, too. M.

[ekaterin24.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm sorry to trouble you for such an elementary mistake of mine!

I've just posted the story to the queue.

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

hello! i haven't forgotten, i've just been swallowed whole by school (had to hand in my last lab report today). but don't worry, i'm planning to have it finished by tomorrow!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks! Maggie

[mysid.livejournal.com]

I can't get to my e-mail right now--let's blame Wormtail.

My story turned into a monster and is 85% done. I'll get it to you this week sometime.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks! Maggie

*scuffs feet*

I've just realised that fics are supposed to be less than 3,000 words. My fic (which I uploaded earlier) is 4,200 words - is that going to be a problem? I'm really sorry I managed to ignore your guidelines!

If you like, I can try and cut out a few words here and there and resubmit?

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

No, no, don't worry about it. (The idea was just to let folks know it didn't have to be a novella, as you see at some of the other fests.) I'm sure your recipient will be happy with it! Maggie

[lyras.livejournal.com]

Phew - thanks! I seem to have lost the ability to write anything under 3,000 words...

Ha...I can beat that!

[mysid.livejournal.com]

My final word count is over 7,400 words. Brevity is not one of my gifts.

Re: Ha...I can beat that!

[lyras.livejournal.com]

*g* I think maybe I need to go back to drabbling school.

[beckaandzac.livejournal.com]

Last paper of the term due tomorrow, and there's no way I'll whip my story into shape before then. Unless my giftee really wants something about Chaucer instead...

It should be in Wednesday night. So very sorry for the delay.
