MTYG: Submissions Open!

[nopseud]

Submissions for Make the Yuletide Gay are now open! Santas can submit a story by going to the main page and following the Submit Your Story link.

There are full instructions on the page, but if anyone has a problem, please get in touch with us via Elfmail. The opening of submissions also means that Dear Santa letters can no longer be created or edited.

The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm PST December 20th. Good luck to all the Santas out there!

MtYG: Pinch-hit sign-ups

[nopseud]

For those of you who are new to SeSas, pinch-hitters are the back-up writers who step in when, for whatever reason, a Santa can't fulfil their assignment. They're the fabulous folks who help us ensure that everyone who takes part in MtYG receives a story.

Unlike regular MtYG authors, pitch-hitting authors will be able to see the request (and pairing) before they commit to writing it.

You don't need to be participating in the current challenge to be a pitch-hit author, but some experience writing popslash is required. You will also need to have some free time around December 18-23, as that's when we anticipate the most need for your help.

If you're already a Santa this year and would also like to volunteer to be a back-up author, please elfmail us to let us know. Please include the pairings you are willing to write (so we can get a rough idea if we've got reasonable coverage).

If you aren't signed up for MtYG this year, but still want to be a pinch-hitter, you can e-mail us at at santa@maketheyuletidegay.org. If you signed up to MtYG in previous years, we can reactivate your old account. If you didn't sign up in 2007-2013, we will need to create an account for you, so please also include the following:

Name
Website
E-mail
A password that you don't mind the Admins knowing (please do not use your LJ/DW password or other valuable password.)

Thank you!
