Welcome to the 15th round of Seasonal Spuffy. verity has decided to step aside as lead mod, and the fantastic gillo has agreed to take on the role. fenchurche and I will be joining her as your mods for this round. (Thanks also to our returning team of taggers!)

Under the cut, ( A refresher on how you can get a DW account, participate without one, and follow the community from LJ )

Whew! Now onto our usual rules and guidelines for signup!

1. Round 15 of seasonal_spuffy will run from November 18 - December 15.

Window A: November 18 - November 24
Window B: November 25 - December 2
Window C: December 2 - December 9
Window D: December 10 - December 14

Thanksgiving will probably be a Free-For-All Day and we'll finish off with another Free-for-All on December 15th

2. Sign ups will run from now, this moment, until October 18 at midnight GMT. The schedule will be posted on October 21.

3. When you sign up, please use the following form:
DW username AND LJ username:
Window preferences:
Likely medium/media:
Special considerations:

4. The theme for this round will be "Time After Time." As always, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE USE OF THE THEME. Ignore it, go wild with it, it doesn't matter.

5. The 24 hour grace period will continue this round. I do strongly recommend against using it if at all possible. Some do not like sharing their day, and that's understandable. But, that being said, the grace period is there for the mods' convenience. Instead of sending me a panicked email when you forget your date, you can post within the grace period, no questions asked. Any longer than that, and you'll need to wait for the free-for-all at the end of this round.

6. On that note, depending on how many people sign up, you may end up sharing your date. Please let me know in the special considerations if you absolutely cannot share your day. Please also know that it's first come, first served. If you sign up at the last minute, the chances of having to share increase greatly, so please keep this in mind. The same is true for other special considerations. (Also remember that later dates generally fill up the fastest, so if you need a late date, prepare to share.)

7. Once again, let me reiterate that this is a friendly community. Please report any flames to me immediately, and I will take the appropriate action. Trolls are not welcome here, but at the same time, let's not bait them.

8. Seasonal Spuffy accepts any kind of vid, fanart, or fic that has never been posted anywhere else before. You may repost material in your own journal, or you may link to your journal in your seasonal_spuffy entry. As long as the post is made nearly contemporaneously, we'll let it slide. For those who are interested in contributing but not creatively minded right now, we welcome podfic. Just make sure you have okayed it with the author of the story you're recording. Making your podfic available in both .mp3 & .m4b formats is recommended.

9. BANNER CONTEST: Submissions are due by October 25 and voting will begin the following week. When submitting, please send your banner directly to seasonal.spuffy@gmail.com. No more than two banners per person, please. Include your LJ/DW name and "Round 15 Banner Submission" in the subject heading of the email. I would prefer to be sent the file directly, but a link is also acceptable if you're okay with hotlinking the picture for the poll. The maximum dimensions are 800 x 400px. File format should be jpeg, gif, or png. If you'd like to make a matching icon for the mods to use, that would be totally awesome (but is not required).

10. On the free for all day, all contributions are welcomed, regardless of whether you have signed up for this round.

Any questions may be asked below, or at the mirrored post on LJ. You may sign up here or at LJ, whichever is most convenient for you.
