Assignments have been sent!
Amazing even ourselves, taradiane and I have managed to send out all assignments, and a week ahead of our projected schedule! Please check your emails and respond confirming you've received your assignment.

Let us know if you have any issues, or if you can be flexible, should we need to switch assignments around in the next week or so. You may also comment here if you are not attached to your assignment and are willing to switch around.

Emails bounced back from the following participants:
anaerobica
filleaspirant
rosivan

Please contact us immediately, and provide us with a valid, working email. We need to get your assignments to you! Anyone who is friends with the above users, if you talk to them, please let them know to get in contact with us, in case they are not watching the community.

We will be posting a sign-up post for pinch hitters/back-up writers shortly. Those who are worked into the fest within the next month will become full-fledged participants (who will both write/draw a customized gift and receive one), so if you missed your chance to sign-up but would still like to participate, in the event of early assignment problems/drop-outs, you may still have a chance.

We will also do a beta volunteer list, as we did last time, to assist those who want to find new betas/specialty betas, etc. That sign-up will go up a bit later, unless participants find they need the resource sooner - if so, please email us.

This is exciting! Get writing/drawing and I very much look forward to this round's submissions!
