2025 Away from Keyboard post

[morbane]

Yuletide is coming! If everything goes well, we will reveal works in the main collection at 9pm UTC on 24 December, two weeks from now. Madness works are revealed a day later.

(Default deadline is 9pm UTC on the 10th; posting deadline is 9pm UTC on the 17th.)

In Yuletide, it's important to leave a comment on your gift (or gifts) to thank your author.

If you think you'll be delayed in commenting until late in the anonymous period (ending 1 January) or maybe not even until well into the new year, you can use this post to OPTIONALLY let your author(s) know about that delay ahead of time. You don't need to give a reason, but an approximate time indication may be helpful. Please include your AO3 name.

Thanks everyone! Good luck with writing, and please consider the beta post or yuletide_pinch_hits if you have capacity for beta jobs or pinch hits!

Due to family events, it may take me 2-3 days before I can read my gift, this year, especially taking time zones into account.

(Maulester here and on AO3) Dear Yule author, I have been excited about the gift since I shook it, but due to illness I will be taking a while until I can give it the attention it deserves.
