DYW Letters 2018
The tag set's nearly done: time for letters posts!
What are letters?
Dear Yuletide Writer letters are an optional tradition in Yuletide. You write a letter for your assigned writer and any interested treat writers, and use it to expand your thoughts about the canons you’re requesting and the stories you enjoy. But there’s also lots of room in the AO3 sign-up form.
Never written a letter (and/or) don't want to? You don't have to. Put Do-Not-Wants that would ruin a gift for you in your sign-up form, and also put there any prompts you have.
Interested in writing a letter, but not sure how? Browse other people's past requests and letters. Or ask a question: DW, LJ, Discord.
You must link your letter in the AO3 sign-up form when you sign up to Yuletide.
Collecting letters
Anyone who's finished a letter can comment here or on LJ, and also add your own letter to the app (by karanguni). This will act like previous years' letters spreadsheets, but with more features:
-You can bookmark fandoms and letters
-You can edit your submission [ask the mods if you lose the key that lets you do this]
-A synced spreadsheet version with the chronological list of letters will be available for those who like spreadsheets
-After submitting, you get a copy/pastable HTML snippet so that you can share your letter back here on this post or elsewhere
For anyone who cannot or does not want to interact with the app, mods will sweep this letters post as usual and add your letter for you.
If you add your letter to the app first, it will generate a snippet of text that you can copy to LJ or DW afterwards!
Clear as mud? Please ask!
