Reminder: Three Weeks Until Deadline!
Hello 2008 Springsmut participants! (and watchers, but this post is directed to our lovely participants)
This is just a friendly reminder that all fics and art are due on February 15, 2008, which, according to our calendar, is THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY! (Apologies for the bold capslock, but it's important.)
Below the cut you will find the submission header formats for artists and authors. Please copy and paste the header into your submission email (and don't forget to fill it out!) Authors, if you could also put it at the top of your stories, we would appreciate that simply because it makes it easier for us. We will remove your names for posting.
Also:
1. Authors: Please check your html tags! The best way to do this that I've found is to make a PRIVATE post to myself in my own LJ. (please note the PRIVATE part! Very important!) If you have italic, bold or underlined text (or hr lines or centered text, etc.) in your story, you must use html tags. We will not add them in for you.
2. Please turn off smart quotes!
(In MS Word:)
On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the 'AutoFormat As You Type' tab.
Under 'Replace as you type', clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.
Note: You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the 'Find what' and 'Replace with' boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.
3. Please do not send your story as text in an email: Send it as an attached file. Word is preferred, but .rtf and .txt docs are fine, too!
4. For fics that are longer than one LJ/IJ entry allows, I'll be hosting them on my website for the duration of the fest. I'll also host the art as well. After the reveal in April, you can post them to whichever archive and send us the new link so we can edit the post and redirect the link to your site. If you know your fic will not fit in one post, please tell us when you submit your fic.
5. Artists: Please remember not to sign your artwork. After the reveal you can edit your work to add your mark/signature.
( Headers are below the cut )
If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us at springsmutmods@gmail.com!
Thanks!
