WinterKnights Starts SOON!

[winter-mod.livejournal.com]

winterknights starts soon (on December 1)!



Here are a few mod notes to help the fest run as smoothly as possible!

Posting:

Submissions will be posted anonymously, by winter_mod with reveals occurring in the New Year.

We'd love to be able to share at least one or two holiday/wintery offerings each day throughout the month of December, so please keep all the winter/holiday creations coming!

We plan to post to both LJ and AO3. (If you would prefer that we post to only one or the other, please let the mods know.) We've set up an AO3 collection for the fest. You can submit your fics to the collection and they will be marked as anonymous and unrevealed until the mod's post them for you! If you need help posting to AO3, please let the mods know!

Our 2016 AO3 collection can be found here:
WINTERKNIGHTS 2016 AO3 FEST COLLECTION

Submission Info:

Here are a few things that will make the mods' jobs easier as we receive submissions:

- Please send your submissions to: winterknightsfest at gmail.com

- Include your name in the email subject as well as 'fic' or 'art'.

- Include your header in both the .doc and the email.

- Please place an lj-cut tag in your story.
The lj-cut text should be "The Title of your Fic". < lj-cut text="FIC TITLE" >

- Check the formatting of your fic to ensure there are manual line breaks between paragraphs.

- Include all other other html coding that is needed. You may want to test post your submission in a private entry to your journal before submitting to be sure that the coding is correct.

- The fic/art header appears below.
