Assignments are out! Thank you very much for your patience. Please refer to this part of the rules for an in-depth refresher on assignment minimums and expectations, but the short of it is: 10k of complete fic (or equivalent opt-in) is due on October 18 at 11:59 EDT (countdown). Email us immediately if you cannot create anything your recip has requested.

If you are creating multiple works:

• Each work must fulfill one of your assigned recipient's requests, but they do not need to be the same request and do not need to be connected. Filling all 10k of your assignment using the same request is also fine.
• If you choose to create multiple gifts, you should fill the first one using the Fulfill button on your assignment page! The other ones will need to be posted directly to the collection by going to the profile, clicking "Post to Collection", and manually adding your recipient on the "Gift this work to" line.

If you cannot complete all or some of your assignment:

• If you have not yet posted any works, you can default by hitting "Default" on your assignments page. This will remove the assignment and release you from any obligation.
• If you have completed part of your assignment and wish to default on the rest, please email the mods and let us know! You will still be guaranteed up to the amount of approved works you submitted rounded down to the nearest 1k (e.g. if you post 3.5k, then default, and then your creator defaults on their entire assignment, you will go out to PH for 3k)
• If you have defaulted on all or part of your assignment, you may "earn back" the amount of gifts you are guaranteed by submitting works to your original assignment or by picking up pinch hits. Please check the "Defaulting" section of this post (link) for more information.

Other reminders:

• If you decide to collaborate on any part of your assignment, make sure you post to the screened collaboration post.
• If you post any of your assignment from an account other than the one you signed up with, we need to know in order to count that work towards your 10k.
• You must remain anonymous until creators are revealed. This means you should not contact your recipient or state who you are creating for. If you have any questions for your recipient, you should contact the mods and we will pass those on.
• Those of you hoping to create works with complicated HTML may find this collection of workskin and HTML guides helpful for creating things like twitter, mission reports, etc.
• Initial pinch hits soon!
