2023 Away from Keyboard Post

[morbane]

Yuletide is coming! If everything goes well, we will reveal the main collection works for everyone to read them on 25 December. Madness works are revealed a day later.

A big part of Yuletide is commenting on your gift (or gifts) to thank your author.

This post ensures that if you think you'll be delayed in commenting until later in the anonymous period (ending 1 January) or maybe not even until the new year, you can let your author(s) know ahead of time and save them from worrying. You don't need to give a reason, but an approximate time indication may be helpful. Please include your AO3 name.

(And for now - happy writing! Happy editing! Happy anticipating!)

Comments

I'm Ultra at AO3 - I won't be online on Christmas Day, probably not Boxing Day either. After that, can't say for sure, so don't worry if you don't see a prompt comment from me. I should be back before 1st Jan :)

Hello! I may not be able to comment on the 25th, but I will almost certainly comment by the end of the anon period!
Am QuailFence at AO3

I'm LJ_McKay and I'm not sure what my internet situation will be during that week. I should definitely be able to comment on Jan. 1 but not sure if I'll make it during anon period!

I'm having a rough time with my hands and wrists at present, sometimes better & sometimes worse—& I don't know how long that may last. So although I'm around, I might be limited to kudos for a little while. (Same username.)

[bluerosekatie]

I'm bluerosekatie on AO3, there's a good chance I'll be away from home until at least after Boxing Day, so I'm posting here just in case. I may be able to comment but we'll see because if I forget to bring my iPad I won't be able to, although I'll see and read the work.

I’m Ashling on AO3. I will definitely kudos asap, but I might not be able to type out a proper long comment until Jan2 because I’ll be out of the country visiting family

[satai]

I'm satai on AO3 as well. I'm having a family medical crisis, so while I hope to get to my gift right away, it's possible that my comment or even my ability to read it altogether will be delayed. Unfortunately I can't guarantee either outcome, it's touch and go at this point.

I (verushka70 on AO3) may be AFK from Dec 23 to Jan 2 due to a family member's serious and terminal illness. It's not certain, but it is likely. I will do my best to respond to my gift with at least a quick comment, but a real comment (after a real reading of it) may not come until after January 2nd.

[theladyscribe]

I will be AFK for most if not all of Christmas and Boxing Day. Same username there as here!

This is summerstudie. I’m so excited to read, but I’m dealing with a family emergency rn. Sorry.
