Secret Santa Update!

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

Assignments:

ALL assignments should be sent now. They were all done via LJ private message. If you signed up, and haven't received an assignment, please let me know as soon as possible.

Submissions: I know it's a little early to be talking about submissions, but I wanted to make a request on the front end before people really started writing/creating. Since the gifts will be posted anonymously to the comm (at first), I will need submissions by email (cybermathwitch(at)gmail(dot)com).

FOR FIC:

I would prefer an rtf file, a google-doc link, or a txt file if at all possible. Best case scenario would be a file that has italics indicated by html mark-up (i.e., words that should be italicized are surrounded by <i>italics</i> and words in bold are surrounded by <b>bold</b>. (This is less likely to cause issues with the rich text vs. html posting forms on LJ. It might be a quirk of my computer, but sometimes the rich text box gives me fits.) If you have any questions, please feel free to email or PM me.

FOR ART/MIXES/ETC:

I'm still working out the specifics of how to submit/post these. I'll be sure to give you better instructions closer to time, I just wanted to get the formatting things out since those are easier to add in while writing rather than later. :)

Have a great week everyone! :D

Thanks for spending all this time on effort on the secret santa. This is the very best bar.

GOT MY ASSIGNMENT! *SPAZZES*

Do you know if using 'em' instead of 'i' will mess up the html for you? That's how i code it for AO3 (as it gets picked up by screen-readers as emphasis), but I could manually switch it if it messes it up. :)

Thank you, again!

Um... I don't seem to have got anything. :/

YAY! And THANK YOU and SO EXCITED :D < i'm just gonna keep saying this at you EVERYWHERE <3

On the submissions front: in other fests/exchanges i've seen for art and graphics that people upload it onto an anonymous photobucket/whatever (if reveals are later) and then send the html as it would be if the person would be posting it, ie. <img src="IMAGE LINK etc and then you should just be able to paste that into an LJ post. Perhaps something similar with mixes? I hate using the rich text box, meh. Happy to do a post on how to html mark up fics if people want one. And a ready-done html header info set can be handy :)

Hey, random question: is there a minimum word count for fics? I've looked through old posts and don't see one.
