A few announcements
Time flies and Severus' birthday isn't that far away.

• Final versions of your fic and art are due on November 15 unless you have good reasons for an extension. Don't panic, speak to us instead.

• Please watch this space before you send us your final versions. We'll post a header for fic and art, instructions about warnings and a short information on how to format your stories. This instructions post will come within the next days.

• We have a change of rules: Rule #8 has been changed. It stated that fic and art should not be posted on archives or elsewhere until February 15. We understand that that is far too long. We've changed that to January 20th. Please don't post your fic and art on archives/elsewhere until January 20, 2010 to give us some time to celebrate.

• Att. Beta readers: if you still have capacity, we'd appreciate it if you dropped us a note under severusbigbang AT googlmail DOT com or sylvanawood AT googlemail DOT com. This is the time where we will likely need emergency beta readers.

• After November 15, we'll offer all the participants including beta readers and cheerleaders the opportunity to introduce themselves in a participants' showcase post. You can tell us where you normally post, what you normally write or draw, and what is of special interest to you in the fandom. Watch this space for more information.

• We will very likely have some kind of contest for reviewers, with prizes if we can organize it.
