Forward Dating

[bridgetmkennitt]

About 45 minutes until the collection opens. If you have more than one gift waiting for you and you want to know if you were double assigned or if those are treats, you can email to find out which fic is which at notprimetime AT voiceofserenity DOT com.

While the collection is still unrevealed, since these fics are in medium (or bigger) fandoms, chances are those fics won't be on the front page of said fandom. As an option, if you'd like, go ahead and forward date your fic (discretion is advised) once the collection opens/it's already the 13th in your timezone. This way your fic is on your fandom's front page when the collection opens. Otherwise, when the fics are revealed, it probably won't get any foot traffic from people checking out new fics in the fandom because it'll be a few if not more pages back.

To do this, you'll need to edit your fic and scroll down until you reach the Associations box. Towards the end of that box is a ticky box for "Set a different publication date." Ticky it to set the date to July 13th or some other (not in the future) date. Then scroll all the way down to click on Post Without Preview.

If you want to treat, here is a list of some of our pinch hitters and their requests. If you completed a pinch hit, you can add your name and your requests (and letter if you're already a participant who had one) in a comment and I'll add it in.

Because there is no secondary collection this round, I'll keep the collection open during the anonymous period for anyone who wants to upload any additional treats after the collection opening deadline. Treats can be fics of any size or non-fic like art, icons, or podfics.

NPTProducer is live. This account is meant for those who have stories that don't quite fit their recipient's wishes or for those people who wanted to write a particular story but had no one to gift it to. The NPT Producer is here for you! The producer, however, is a busy person, so can only thank you for the work, but you are guaranteed that thank you comment.

Collection is open

[bridgetmkennitt]

The stories are up and raring to be read at Not Prime Time 2018. A very special thank you to our pinch hitters for helping us open on time. If you see some fics unrevealed, give it some time as AO3 does it in batches.

You can scroll through all the works and use the sorting buttons to find what you are looking for (by title, date updated, word count, hits - both by highest and lowest, etc). If you are looking for something specific, there is also searching by tags.

Writers, either you can hold off on replying back to comments until after author reveals on July 21st or you can choose to use the option of anonymous creator replies which are turned on until reveals.

The collection will remain open until the anonymous period is over for potential treats, both non-fic or fic of any word size.

If you find anything wrong or suspicious in the collection, please email or comment on the post so I can investigate.
