As we get closer to the fest deadline (just about a month!) we thought we should post our submission guidelines for those of you who are ready to submit your fic/art! If you have any questions, please let us know!


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- When you send your submission please include your username in the email subject as well as fic or art.

- Don't forget to include an lj-cut tag in your story. The lj-cut text should be "The Title of your Fic". (i.e < lj-cut text = "FIC TITLE" >)

- Please check the formatting of your fic to ensure there are manual line breaks between paragraphs. There is a problem with some Microsoft Word settings and you have to double space manually!

- Include all other other html coding that is needed. Please test post your submission in a private entry to your journal before submitting.

- A good way to check to make sure your story is formatted correctly is to post it in a private entry in your own journal. That way you can easily see if there’s anything amiss in your coding/formatting.

- The fic/art header appears below. Please include your header in both the .doc and the email.

It's only 21k .... so not horribly long. I don't know the DW code. Want to let me know how it's different than the lj one? Then I'll fix it

[appleling.livejournal.com]

The cut code for DW is < cut > or < cut text = "TEXT HERE" >, then close it with < / cut >

Er, I just saw this. When I submitted, I used lj cut code. Do you want me to change to DW cut code and resubmit with a note? Or will you change on your end?

*wince*

*assumed DW read LJ code*

It's okay, dear. Don't worry about it. My darling co-mod (your lovely beta) will fix that cut code for you :D
