#checkins

Hello team! 

Your check in #1 is being sent via email so please check your emails for it! This will the first check in for the PRB! You will have one week to fill out this form and if you do not fill it out by next Saturday, we’re gonna consider you a drop out! 

If you’ve noticed you haven’t gotten the email, send us a message and we can look into it! 

You all know the drill by now! This check-in will take place May 4-6 and is to make sure everyone is on track to start posting two weeks after that and to collect all the information we all need to get that to happen as seamlessly as possible. 

Authors: By now your work should be nearly complete or just in need of edits/fine-tuning. This is especially important if you have a beta. Please, please do not dump your beta with 10k+ words to edit all of a sudden in a week. You are expected to be coordinating with your beta (if applicable) to ensure they have plenty of time to edit. We are not requiring a word count check this check-in, just let us know how your fic is going. 

Artists: You should also have a nearly complete work at this point, again we are not requiring you send in a copy (unless you wish to). But let us know how it is going, and how communication is going with your author as posting is nearing.

From both artists and authors: 

What dates in the posting period May 14-31 absolutely do not work for you as a posting date? As explained in the posting explanation post, this should not be to avoid going near the beginning of the period but rather to express conflicts like “going to a wedding that day”, “big exam” etc. (Date requests will only be accepted from those who check-in on time, or who have pre-approved extensions)

Where are you planning on posting and what is your URL/name there? We may already have this info for many of you but this is to ensure everything is up to date and we can find everyone’s works on the day of to share them. 

As always please let us know if you need an extension or have any concerns as soon as possible. We are more than happy to work with you (and have done so for people every check-in so don’t be nervous), we would rather hear from you than not, especially at this check-in.

Some creators have not submitted their Check-in #1 and/or participants list forms yet!

Please check your emails for links and fill them in as soon as possible! There are two forms: one is for the check-in, and one is for our participants page.  You will receive confirmation emails upon form submission, so you can check your inbox to see if you’ve filled them in already.  Or you can also check the main ideas spreadsheets which is linked in the original check-in email.

Mod M is posting the list of creators tomorrow (Sunday Sept 10th) on both Tumblr and Twitter, so this is your last chance to make sure all your information is correct.  If we do not receive any updated information, we will use what you submitted in your application form.

We understand that there are a lot of things happening recently that may cause delays out of your control, e.g. natural disasters.  For the creators who have already notified us, you have been granted extensions.  For the people who haven’t contacted been able to contact us, please update us on your situation as soon as you’re able to so we know that you’re alright!  Don’t worry about the zine for now, just take care of yourselves and stay safe! ;v; ♥
