Clarification on Final Deadline

[saekhwa]

Hey everyone, apologies about the lack of clarification. Final and complete fanworks should be posted to the Ante Up AO3 Collection by 11 p.m. EST on August 31, 2012. Once kate and I finish all the behind-the-scenes magic, the collection will go live.

Please don't forget to add us as co-authors, which is explained in the posting tutorial. Bang and complement fanworks should meet the minimum size requirements.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to contact a mod. (All comments on that entry are screened.)

This is also a friendly reminder to complement creators. Some additional bang creators dropped out. (Check the comments of the Final Check-In Post.) If you have finished your complement or you're confident you can have your complement completed by 11 p.m. EST on August 31, please add your fanwork to the Ante Up AO3 Collection. The more Losers fanworks there are, the better, and we want to cheer over all of your effort.

This fandom continues to be amazing, so thanks to everyone who participated. I am so excited to see what everyone has created. :D

Have I mentioned that you two are especially groovy for tackling all the behind-the-scenes magic?

Thanks for all the hard work! <3

[saekhwa]

Thank you so much! <3

We're so close to go-live. I am on edge to see what everyone created. Also, also, YOUR TEA IS DIVINE. I finally had a chance to brew the hibiscus, and it is my new favorite thing ever. You are rainbows and sunshines and everything groovy.

Seconded!

I am tag wrangling and seeing all the team names go by in the new tag bin. \o/

[saekhwa]

So awesome! :D Thank you so much for wrangling those!

[franzeska]

Oh, I just sorted them into the fandom. I'm not the assigned wrangler (though I did leave a note that big bang tags were showing up).

I am once again doubting my ability to finish before the cut-off, but at the same time I'm so close to the end of this story I can taste it. I'm pretty sure I can finish by sun-up. I've been updating the AO3 entry as I go so there's a story in there and it's already almost three times minimum Bang length, it's just not finished yet and it needs a bit of a polish. Will I be disqualified if I keep tweaking my story after 11? I don't mind you revealing the story before it's ready, so there's no need to delay everyone else who's ready to go.

Well, tbh, I have a lot of stuff to do before this can go live - traveling 5 days a week means I can't do things like upload my podfic to a site it can be streamed from. So there's all that, and then there's going into each story to check tags and links...

I think it may actually be the wee hours of the morning before this goes live. So you can keep updating as you go, and we'll post here before we unveil, just so we know everyone's ready.

I'm at a con and the internet is a bit dodgy, so the final draft of my Team Ludomania complement might be a bit late. AUGH.

[pistolera]

THIS IS PARTIALLY MY FAULT.

[coinin]

While this is technically true, you also gave me a great idea, so I think we're even. :)

[kate]

It's okay! We've got several hours of link and tag checking and finalizing things before things go live. You have time. :D
