The Posting of The Stories

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Since there have been some concerns raised over the fact that the stories are now going to be posted to a website, I'd like to clarify some things.

The original intention was to post the stories to LJ via either Al, myself, or an admin account that Al and I would set up, in order to maintain the anonymity (damn, I had to think about spelling that *g*) of the authors.

Then we had 82 people sign up.

LJ would have been a lovely way to post the stories (and believe us we thought of everything, including setting up a completely different LJ to just post the stories in), but ultimately, it comes down to one simple fact. Posting 82 stories on the sga_santa community would absolutely flood people's friends lists.

We decided that the easiest way to get around this was to post them to a website and to post a link to the index page in the LJ.

When the reveal is done (and we're aiming for Jan 1st with this), I will remove the story of anyone who wishes it and include an external link to wherever they have posted the story.

If anyone still has issues with the way this is going to be done, then please let me know.

Oh, man, I would love this. Because then the stories would be all spread out and I wouldn't have to read them all in a frenzy of OMG MUST READ THEM ALL NOW! I'd really like to read them while the authors are anonymous, because then I know I'm judging them strictly on their merits.

I third this idea. I know at least a few people participating who have their fics ready to go and having a week (plus) of "Christmas" could be really cool.

It'll also take a lot of the pressure off the mods and not take the exchange away from the community.
