Posting Instructions — Submissions due in 10 days!
It's time for posting instructions (or, seriously, some of you overachievers are finished and submitted already?!?!) Here's how to submit:
OVERVIEW
At Small Gifts, you submit your gift by posting directly to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
small_gifts. The community is in moderated status, which means that your post will remain hidden and saved in the queue until we approve/post it in December. It then will appear exactly as you submitted it, so make sure you've put on the finishing touches! We will review posts for formatting problems and will "reject" your post if necessary so any broken tags, subject line formatting, or non-working links can be fixed. We’re sorry that the message will say we “rejected” it. We wish it were a friendlier word.
POSTING INSTRUCTIONS
1) All gifts of fic should be beta read. We will put up a beta lounge post later today so that people can request and offer services.
2) Please format your subject line as follows: Gift type: Title for Recipient. For example:
Art: A Grim Season at Grimmauld Place for lily_evans
Fic: Catty Fireside Stories for peter_pettigrew
No need for quotes or italics with your title or any formatting of your recipient's user name. Clean and simple!
3) Please use the following header:
You can delete the notes line if you do not have notes. Please retain the contents or warnings line, though. If you don't have any warnings, simply type "none" where you see "insert warnings here." You should let readers know of major character death, graphic description of violence, rape or non-con, or underage sex.
4) Place your gift itself under a cut, using your title, your first line, or a short quotes as the cut text. Here's how to do that, if you have any questions.
5) Forget something? Need to tinker? Your post is inaccessible to you while it is in the queue. If you need to fix something, just e-mail us at rs.small.gifts at gmail dot com and ask us to reject your post from the queue. You can then resubmit.
If anything goes awry with your formatting or submission, we will reject your post and ask you to resubmit. Please keep an eye on your inbox in case we need to alert you to a problem!
POSTING TO OTHER SITES
Every day between December 1 and December 31, we’ll post a gift from the moderation queue. As soon as your gift has appeared here onsmall_gifts, you're free to crosspost to your own journal or wherever you'd like.
If you've been archiving your work at Archive of Our Own, you have the option to add it to this year's collection, here. There's a tutorial showing how to add a work to a collection here.
INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING FURTHER?
Want to create a second gift? Want to participate but didn't sign up in October? Look for chances to create second gifts and participate in an open round after first gifts are all up. We also almost always need some pinch hitters, so comment here or email us let us know if you're interested.
