tolkienrsb | TRSB21 - a few posting reminders

It’s that point in the event again. The official posting deadline is tomorrow (although we have granted a number of extensions) and fics and art are starting to flood into the collection.

Authors, if you have submitted a fic and it hasn’t been approved, please check the following:

• Have you tagged it with the art slide number, or included the slide number in the story summary or notes?

• Is the art embedded/linked in some way, &/or is the artist credited?

• If your fic is a treat, have you tagged it as such? (We know that treat makers may not know the identity of the artist and won’t necessarily have the art URL; this is fine and expected.)

• Is the fic marked complete?

• Have you left the fic in draft mode?

If you aren't sure whether your work has been approved or not, click on "works" under the TRSB21 collection, and scroll through. If you can't see your fic, chances are it hasn't yet been approved for one of the above reasons.

You should be able to access and edit your unapproved works via your statistics page on AO3.

Artists, remember that you are also welcome and encouraged to post your pieces as standalone works in the AO3 collection, if you have an account - it it isn’t just for fics! (If you don’t have an AO3 account but would like to join their waiting list and add your artwork later, that’s fine - the collection won’t close.)

Finally, I know a few people are feeling deadline stress, so could I please take this opportunity to remind everyone of our core expectations for the event - to be kind, inclusive, and respectful, and to act in good faith. There have been a couple of incidents over the last few days where this has not been the case. Keep your heads, please, folks; we’re almost there, and if you’re experiencing an issue, the best way forward is a calm, measured conversation with the mod team. We’ll do everything we can to help.

Good luck - almost there now, and we can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on all summer!
