Important announcements for not_primetime

I hope everyone has been enjoying what the Not Prime Time 2019 collection has to offer. Author reveals are on July 21st.

In the meanwhile, if you have any recs, go ahead and post them here! You can anonymously self-rec yourself in your rec batch. If you have recs from previous Not Prime Time rounds, go ahead and post them as well. It's all good.

Got any recs?

The collection is set to open July 13th at noon, Eastern time (countdown until 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.

The collection will remain 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. For potential treats, you can either check out the requests on AO3 or the Dear Prime Time Player post on DW.

Potential treats for pinch hitters

An hour left until the deadline (July 3rd, 11:59pm, Eastern time) to submit your fic into the Not Prime Time 2019 collection. This means your fic is fully uploaded and not a draft. I haven't clicked on anyone's currently uploaded fic and I won't be doing so until after the deadline. Treats, both under 1k words and non-fic, can be uploaded into the collection at any time.

If you're a pinch hitter, don't forget to drop your requests at Potential treats for pinch hitters if you want to.
