Hi everyone!

So, it is the 15th of August. Some house cleaning first.

Artists: While today is scheduled as the last day to drop out, either though a comment on this post or through email / PM, you can still drop out at any time if you need to. If you need to drop out after today, you need to contact us ASAP. Either through email at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com or by PMing either myself or sirwynai. Nobody is going to get in trouble. We'd just like to know so we could sound the horn for a pinch artist.

Authors: You have 17 days to get in your final draft (September 1st). We ask that, when sending in your final draft, to put in the subject line: User name - Final Draft - Title of Draft. So, my subject, for example, would read: crescent_gaia - Final Draft - Notes and Murder. You don't have to send in any sort of header for it. We just want to make sure that everyone is ready for posting their story. Also, it doesn't have to be finished finished - if you still need to beta it, that's fine. It really is more so we can make sure that everyone is on track.

Alright, let's get to the dates. It is first come, first serve. We want to have only one person a day posting. If you cannot post on any of the dates, give us a poke and we'll see what we can do.

( List of Dates )

Hello!

I hope everyone is doing well. Your final drafts or final art is due September 1st through September 7th. After we get your final draft, we will open the comm for you.

If anyone still wants an Archive of Our Own invite code, feel free to PM crescent_gaia or email the mod account. We'll get a code out to you as soon as we can.

Now, for the reason we're here. I apologize for not having this up when I said I would. In all truth - I kind of forgot. *facepalm* Silly Mod. However, it is now up. The dates are first come, first serve. If a date is taken and that date is the only date that you can post to during the challenge, please don't hesitate to PM/Email/Send up a flare or smoke signal to talk to us. We don't bite. Well, I don't. I can't speak for my co-mod.

( Dates Under Here )

Have at it!

Hi authors! Today is the last day to get your final draft of the big bang in. Please submit it to whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com. If you have any concerns, please drop us a PM, email, or reply to this post. I am going to be keeping close to the gmail today as well as LJ, so don't hesitate to contact us.

The following authors have final drafts in and are all ready to go with posting:
hopenight
astra_sequi
katikat
krazykipper
dapatty
2_libras
hllangel
afiawri

If you have not signed up for a date to post your big bang fic, please select a date here. If there are any questions, problems, or anything else (hat foolery) - please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. I'm here all day.

Artists - if you're having any problems with getting in touch with authors or if you need anything, feel free to contact us as well. Make sure that you know the date that your author is going to post their fic and just have fun.

Thank you everyone for participating and making this a lot of fun. Don't forget about the White Collar summer finale tonight as well while you're putting finishing touches on your fic or art.

Hey Everyone!

Authors - T Minus 2 Days to get your fic in. Maybe more like 3. However - get your fic in to us! You have until Midnight on Tuesday and then it's all over!
If you have not heard from your artist, get in contact with us! Pronto! Thank you for all of your hard work as you finish up your drafts.

Artists - If you have not heard from your author - get in contact with us pronto as well! Thank you for all of your hard work.

Do Not Forget to Select A Date!!! -- Go HERE to do so!

Have fun in the last bit of the challenge!

Alright - there's a small change to this, mostly with the final draft due date for the authors. It is now September 7th, because my mind has gone muddy and I crossed the final draft due date with starting to post.

So - All Final Drafts are Due September 7th by Midnight CDT (7 am GMT). Thank you for everyone who has participated so far. Your final draft must be 10,000 words or I will not give you the green light for posting. What will happen is that you will get posting access for the big bang comm and I will give access in just one go. So, when sending in your rough draft, please have your username somewhere in the body of the email. If you have already sent in your final draft - even if you got a reply email saying you're good to go - please send back an email with your username. This just helps me when trying to get everything ready to go.

Now - Date Selection is below. It is First Come, First Served. If there is a date already taken and you need that date, PM me with the subject line of "Date Selection for WC BB" so I know what it is about. Or email us with the same subject in the subject line. We are starting posting September 8th and I won't be amazed on how this will go well with my White Collar crash of no new episodes until wintertime. :D

I know that we might not need all the dates there, but I'm putting them out. If there are dates where we have gaps, that's fine. Also - all authors and artists have until their posting dates to fiddle with their story or art. All I ask is all authors get me a final draft in just so I can check word count.

Thank you and happy selecting!

The post is going up before I go to bed tonight - so around 2:30 to 3:30 am. I know that not everyone is going to be up, but it's either that or I forget about doing it all together on Thursday.

Apologies about the lateness of the note, but that's due to insomnia and naps.

Oh - also, the date selection is just going to be for the authors. The artists, when they are done with their work, can just upload it and give the link to their author to put in their master post on their date of selection.

Hope that makes sense - if not, feel free to leave a comment. Sorry about all the changes around here. We don't plan to have them in the next round.
