Narnia Fic Challenge

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Your stories must be posted tonight, September 7th, by 11:59 pm, unless you have previously contacted the mods for an extension.

In terms of the posting deadline, we're not too strict on that, timezone-wise. My timezone is Eastern, but I'll be asleep by midnight, so consider that and your own timezone when posting.

Just have your stories submitted by 9 am Eastern Time, Sunday, September 8th, when I wake up, and you're good.

Please remember that the story you post must be complete and ready to go! Yes, there is a week between the deadline and reveals during which you can make edits, but! Remember that your fic must pass the bus test: if you got hit by a bus after posting and couldn't edit, is this a complete story of at least 1000 words that will be a good gift for your recipient. If the answer is no, better get it up to those standards before midnight!

If you have any questions, you can ask them here, or send via email to the mods: narniaficexchange@gmail.com

I can't wait to read all the stories! :)

Hello all!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am extending the deadline by a week. Instead of your fics being due today, you have until next Saturday, September 10th, to get them in.

There's a couple of reasons for this:

1) Multiple people have asked for an extension. There's a bad case of real life circumstances going around, and I totally understand.

2) I have always wanted this to be a fun and low-stress exchange. If extending the deadline helps people out with that, it's the way I want to go.


Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their stories! I appreciate that you were all able to make the deadline. The good news is that now you have some extra time to edit and polish things up, if you want! :)

With the fic deadline extension, this pushes back the fic reveals until September 18th, and the author reveals until September 25th. This has been noted on AO3, and in the sticky post in this comm.

Regarding deadlines and reveals:

Technically, the deadline is next Saturday, September 10th by midnight. My timezone is Eastern, but midnight whatever timezone you're in.

Realistically, I'll most likely be asleep at midnight ET, so the deadline is whenever I log on Sunday the 11th, so usually around 9 am.

The fic you submit should be complete and ready to go by that time. You will have a week between the deadline and the reveals, so you can polish and edit your fic, but if it's not complete when you submit it, I will be looking for a pinch-hitter.

If you are to new to this exchange, that week between deadline and reveals is so that I can find pinch-hitters if needed, and give them time to write a story before reveals.

Reveals will be sometime during the day on Sunday the 18th -- I give a one hour warning before I open the collection. If there are any delays due to pinch-hitters needing more time, I will let you know then.

Thank you all for your understanding, if you have any questions, feel free to leave them here, or email at narniaficexchange@gmail.com

That's right, we've reached deadline! Your stories are due by midnight tonight.

Note on timezones: for me, midnight is Eastern time. For you, midnight is whatever timezone you're in. I'm not strict on timezones, and to be honest, I'll be asleep by midnight (I am old and tired, is my excuse!). So as long as they're in by Sunday morning when I wake up and check (let's say 9 am my time), you're good.

( Personal note: )

Remember, although you can polish up your fic after deadline, the stories you submit tonight should pass the bus test: if you're hit by a bus tomorrow, the story will still be a fine gift for your recipient (complete, and at least 1000 words).

Good luck with the last minute writing! I can't wait to see all the stories in the archive tomorrow!
