discoveredinalj | It is the day before the day...

Well, 'tis the day before December, and all through the house...

Amazingly, Discovered In The Mistletoe actually starts tomorrow (whee!) and at least equally amazingly, and completely fabulously all but two of the days have been claimed! And we have extra content to fill those days, so... that means that for 37+ days in a row, right through December and into January, there will be new Pros-ness in flists and on browsers everywhere! *g*

There's really not much to explain before it all starts, but we're going to try anyway...

1. All participants need to do is to post on their day, in their own time zone. This is really the only slightly tricky thing about having so many people playing together:

Please remember that an lj day spans something like 36 hours, (which for us here in Pros I think means the time difference between Australia and Alaska - unless there's anyone in the Christmas Islands or Samoa that I don't know about...) so gaps between posts may sometimes seem a bit erratic! For example, when it's 1am in eastern Australia, it's still only 5am the day before here in Alaska! *headdesk*

Basically, please try to check whether the person before you on the calendar has posted, before you make your own post, regardless of what the clocks actually say!

2. If it turns out that the dog has eaten your harddrive, or your house has suddenly fallen into the sea, then don't worry. ~~Make sure you post your Pros before rescuing either dog or computer or house~~ Let us know as soon as you can - email addresses in the user info - and we'll cover for you with extra content, if we can. And if it doesn't work out at all, well, it doesn't work out - no big deal. *g*

3. Out of consideration for people's flists and bandwidth, please use lj-cuts. (For anyone who's not sure, type <*lj-cut text="title of your piece"> before your piece, and then <*/lj-cut> at the end of your piece - leaving out the asterisks to make the code work!)

4. Longer fics can be split into several posts, of course. Feel free to make as many posts on your day as you like, too. If you come over all prolific (heh) between now and then, we'd love to see it *g*

5. And finally (I think) if you'd like your work archived then do remember to use the dialj "trailer" at the end of your post. Again, it's on the user info page.

So there were five things to tell you after all! If we've forgotten anything, or if you have any questions, do shout out. And most of all - Happy December, Bonne Hiver, and ... erm... have fun *g*.
