Last Check-In & Posting Rules

[sinfulslasher]

Hello fellow ficathoneers!

This is the last call for anyone who has to default for whatever reason. Below is the posting schedule for everyone participating.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

1. Please make sure that you have your story ready to be posted (either directly in this comm here or in your own journal or on AO3 with a link to it) on the assigned date.

2. Please also make sure that your story is beta-read. If you still need a beta, please check out the beta post here.

3. Please use the following story header (or something similar):
Title:
Author:
Written for:
Prompt used:
Genre: (gen/slash/het/threesome/etc)
Category: (angst/humor/hurt-comfort/PWP/romance/dark!fic/kid!fic/first time/etc)
Rating:
Spoilers: (if necessary)
Warning: (if necessary) (please only warn for actual triggers, like character death or rape - do NOT warn for a category!)
Author's Notes: (if necessary)
Disclaimer:
Summary:

4. Please make sure to use an LJ-cut! (only the story header should be outside the cut)

5. Please let the mods know as soon as you possibly can if you cannot post on your date!

Also, it goes without saying that we expect the recipient to actually respond to the story that was written for them. We're all a friendly bunch here and we do use common courtesy, after all, right? :-)

If you have any additional questions, check out our FAQ & Rules Post (or PM the mods).

Thank you, and happy ficathoneering! :D

Looks good to me! Haven't started writing but have the story in my head...which counts for something:)

[sinfulslasher]

Well, your date is the 15th so you still have some time! ;)

[angst-queen-98.livejournal.com]

I've started my fic... Plan to post on time if I'm writing through the night to do so. LOL!

Question: Is it okay to post in the evening? My mornings are rather hectic... but if I know ahead of time I will make appropriate arrangements. :)

[sinfulslasher]

Oh, absolutely! As long as it's still "your day" somewhere on this planet, you're good to go! *g*

[hawk-soaring.livejournal.com]

I will be ready... *nods* *is thankful to have asked for a later posting date*

[sinfulslasher]

Can't wait to read yours! *iz impatient*

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

*ponders* I told you my idea right...? Yeah... that's what will be written on by the 9th. *nods*

[sinfulslasher]

Yup, you sure did! Can't wait to read it! :D

[ncisvu-lj.livejournal.com]

Just gotta do some editing. I'll be ready by my day!

[sinfulslasher]

Perfect! :D

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

I'm good :) Tejas should have my beta done today ;)

[gibbstonysbabe.livejournal.com]

I will make it....I wil make it...* squares shoulders and smiles shakily*

[wolfinred.livejournal.com]

I'm ready! ::cracks knuckles:: I just... oh, crap, I need a title.

[rebecca-in-blue.livejournal.com]

My story is about 3/4 done right now. I just need to finish it off, send it to my beta-reader, and it should be posted in time.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

Mine will be posted sometime tomorrow before midnight. All I need to do is apply the fixes my beta reader suggested. We are, however, expecting a huge snowstorm tonight and throughout tomorrow (the 3rd) so as long as I can safely get home from work tomorrow, I shall post. If there is a snow delay I will post a quick "Sorry, stranded away from home due to snowstorm, will post your fic as soon as possible." Message to the ficathon. I'm crossing my fingers that the news reports of "up to 20 cm (around 8 inches) of snow tomorrow" are exaggeration.

[sinfulslasher]

Oh wow, sounds like fun! O_o

Thanks for the advance warning, I'll keep that in mind. As long as I know what's going on, I have no problem with delayed posting - it's just vanishing acts without any info that leaves me grumpy. *g*

Here's hoping the snow storm won't be too bad!
