Away From Keyboard Post 2018

[morbane]

Yuletide stories will reveal (if all goes well) at 9am UTC on 25 December.

We hope everyone enjoys their gifts! Part of Yuletide is also commenting on your gift to thank your author for writing it.

However, it's also a busy time of year for many people. If you want to let your author know that you won't be around for the first several days after the works go live, or for the whole of the anon period, you can comment comment here or on LJ to reassure them that you'll read your gift(s) soon.



Sorry this post is up late. Hope it's useful for some even so.

Hello, dear author! I DEEPLY appreciate that you've written for me and I hope you're having a great holiday season. I am hosting the family festivities this year, so I won't be online much on reveals day, but I will definitely comment before reveals. (You might see kudos before then if I can sneak time for a first read!)

Dear author,

I will be away for the Christmas hols. I will definitely be commenting before reveals, possibly sooner if I can sneak away from the hordes.

[dhampyresa]

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I won't be able to comment before early January. Sorry.

Hi lovely author(s) who have written me things!

I'm at my in-laws for Christmas and will try to get to things when I am able. There's a 80% chance that I'll be able to comment on the day, just in case. You're (all) the best! I hope you have a lovely holiday season xx

Hello Yuletide Author! I will unfortunately be without internet for a few days, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to get to my fic right away! I’m so sorry, but I am really looking forward to it.

Away from home - all being well, I should be able to comment, but my parents' internet does have a nasty habit of breaking over Christmas, so if I don't comment, know that's why & I'll comment asap after the 28th.

Hi, author! Unlike most years, if the collection doesn't open right at 9 UTC, I will be taking off on a long-haul flight and won't be able to read or comment until later. I definitely will get it read and commented on by the end of the 26th.

[kultiras]

I will comment on the 25th, but I’m not sure when. I’m getting over a brutal bout of insomnia, so either I’ll be awake and catch it when it goes live, or I’ll have managed to drag myself to bed and will read it after Christmas morning festivities. ♥

[ars_belli]

I'll be AFK until at least the 27th (on a long flight), but hope to get a comment in before reveals.

I am a pinch hitter and am unsure if I should post here. But if I receive anything, or if people comment on what I wrote...I'll be having extremely spotty Internet access on the 25th, like maybe none. I majorly appreciate if I do receive anything, and I'll be home late in the evening EST on the 25th, but I might be totally fried as well. I won't be ignoring comments on anything, I just won't be able to guarantee I interact with the collections til the 26th or 27th due to Internet and fatigue. This is my first Yuletide and I loved pinch hitting for you all so very much!

I will be visiting my nephew and family and may not get to read until very late in the day on the 25th (EST). At this point I just can't tell. Don't panic, dear author! I'll get there when I can!

Dear Author,
I appreciate you immensely and thank you in advance! I’m so excited to read the fic you’ve written! But I am currently on family vacation, and while I might have a chance to read, there’s no garauntee that I’ll be able to. But I will be home on Thursday (the 27th) though, so I’ll read it then at the latest!

Hello, author!

I work overnight shifts from the 24th-27th. It's likely I wont get a chance to read my gift until the 28th. I may get a chance to read earlier, but in case I don't, then don't feel like I'm ignoring you!

[mossy_bench]

Dear author,
Thank you for the gift! I'll be able to leave a comment on the 27th, at the earliest, but definitely before reveals.

[kymsongbreeze]

It'll probably be a few days before I have time to comment, but I'll definitely be able to before author reveals.

Dear Author,

I will comment as soon as I can! <3 Thank you.

[antigravitas]

Dear author, thank you for your gift, I'm on the road and then with friends until the 27th, but I am really excited to check out what you've written as soon as I can!

[kindness_says]

Dear authors!!!! I see you have written me things and I am EXTREMELY EXCITED. I am, however, getting on a plane tomorrow morning and then possibly seeing some sights and things, so I may not be able to diligently read and comment right away. BUT DON'T YOU WORRY. I WILL GET THERE.

(Going to sleep now, with archive sadly not yet open. <3!)
