Mod Post: Review Challenge, AO3 Collection, and Compilation Ebook

[dawn_felagund]

Before today's entries are unlocked, I wanted to sneak in a quick reminder to everyone on a few things.

Firstly, please know that the review challenge does not end on April 1. If there are stories or art that you want to comment on, you have as long as you want to do so and are still eligible for the review challenge. Those of you who have been reporting your challenges for stamps, I will likely contact you in mid-April to see if you are finished with the challenge and if you want your stamps consolidated into a single graphic. However, if you're still working on the challenge, please do! You can contact us at any time at b2mem.mod@gmail.com, and I will put your stamps together into a graphic for you. Likewise, if you want your graphic put together before mid-April, either leave a comment on the reporting post that you're finished or email us at b2mem.mod@gmail.com.

On April 1, I will post the grand prize banners for the review challenge. You can continue commenting and claim what you earned when you're finished. In short, please continue to show our awesome authors and artists love. :)

Since many people are on AO3, I have set up a B2MeM 2014 collection there. If you post a story inspired by a B2MeM 2014 prompt on AO3, please feel free to add it to the collection, even if you didn't post it to the community here. (Look for "b2mem2014" on the collections list.) If you need help adding a story to the collection, the AO3 Collections FAQ provides instructions, or drop me a line, and I'll do my best to help you out.

Finally, some of you may remember that one of the ultimate goals of this year's compilation was to make an ebook of the stories and art shared for this year's B2MeM. The mods are currently discussing this, and compilation authors and artists should look for an email middle of next week, explaining the project and what you'll need to do if you want your writing or art included.

There's only a few days left--I hope everyone is having fun and enjoys that last of this year's stories and art! :)
