Sergeant, open the iris

I'll have a post up sometime tomorrow for writers to send summaries, matching system, posting period including amnesty, AO3 collection. I'm still typing up from handwritten and some of it is proving to be a bit tricky.

Just a handful of things for the art side of this :) also the second check in post is up.

1. I've extended artist sign ups to the 1st of August. Hopefully we can get a few more people to do art, thankies to those who are already signed up.

2. I'll be using a anonymous claim system rather then matching and if I've worked this out properly, writers send me a email with a short summary of your fic and I'll make a post early August for artists to claim what they would like to work on. Usernames won't be included on the claim post.

3. I'll email both writer and artist once claims are confirmed.

4. Comments. I'm very slowly getting through them.

Just a few things.

I’ve updated the FAQ and Rules post, however, the art minimums will be finalised in the next day or two (I’m on days off until the weekend) and I’m pretty much checking ours against similar challenges and your feedback here and on the original planning post.

Emails. I have a couple of people that I still owe a reply to and I’m on to that task shortly.

Thanks to goddess47 we now have a handy copy/paste promo. I’ll be posting a promo to some communities while I’m on days off and by all means use this to do your own promotion elsewhere.

I’ve added a confirmed sign up post, this is in case MS aren’t emailing a copy of your answers to you after you’ve filled it in. Comments on the post are all screened.

Discussion posts, it would be good to have maybe one more person to help with those as they are scheduled for third weekends and are optional but are also good for building community etc and also means that there's more than one person posting to the comm. Here. I’ll grant posting access.

Contact. If you need to get hold of me and it’s been more than a couple of days then use any of these options here. (Mod is one person with a demanding full time job and is doing this in their spare time.)

I'm just off a three day stint of 12 hours shifts, so a couple of quick notes before I go to bed.

1. I'll be replying to all comments and emails tomorrow. I have seen them, just haven't had time to reply to you all.
1a. My time zone is GMT Edinburgh (soon to be BST/GMT+1 Edinburgh) so it may take me a wee while to get back to you anyway, if I'm longer than say two to three days then give me a prod.

2. I'll also be posting an updated FAQ and rules to incorporate a few things I overlooked initially when I was putting it together. The feedback from you has been so useful in updating it.

3. There'll be a post going up shortly with a table detailing sign ups (username, fandom/fandoms, art option - none of the other sections of the form). Hopefully it'll be handy for reference etc and comments will be screened on that one.

4. Layout. I recently changed it to something that I hope is a bit more mobile friendly for those who maybe read DW on a phone or tablet. Hadn't realised that the original layout wasn't good for small screens.
