You have about a day left to submit your entry - all submissions are due on Saturday 5th April. If you have your submission to us while it's still Saturday anywhere in the world, you're on time.

Submission guidelines can be found here.

If you think you're going to need an extension, please send us your unfinished draft and let us know. We'll do our best to help, but if we don't receive either a completed entry or a draft with an extension request on the deadline day we will have to immediately look for a backup to take your place.

I hope you're all looking forward to next week - there are some fantastic things ahead, and we can't wait to share them with everyone! (Many thanks to the lovely people who have already sent in their entries!)

Writers and artists, your entries for the second Doctor/Jack Gift Exchange are due in a week, on Saturday 5th April!

You should have received a reminder email today. Please make sure to reply to that email and let us know if everything's on track with your entry!

To submit by the deadline, your entry needs to reach us by the end of that day. We count it as on time if it's not yet past midnight in any time zone. (Of course, if you wanted to submit your entry earlier, that would be fabulous! Many thanks to the early bird who already has.)

To keep everything running smoothly, please check the submission guidelines and read them carefully before you submit your entry.

If you're in need of a beta, you can find help at the beta volunteers post.

And if you run into any real problems with the deadline, please let us know right away! We'll do our best to help, but if we don't receive either a completed entry or a draft with an extension request on the deadline day we will have to immediately look for a backup to take your place.

Thank you, and good luck with the final stretch!

(Also, the Whump Challenge is still open for the a few days. Get those final entries in, everyone!)

We'd love some more feedback for our tentative 2013 schedule, so if you haven't already, it'd be great if you could pop over and leave us a comment. And vote in the poll, of course. *g*

We'd particularly like to hear suggestions on

• what kinds of fests you'd like to see on this comm (besides Summer Holidays)


• what prompts we should use for the "regular" challenges - February's close, so let us know what you'd like to see next month!

Thank you for helping us make wintercompanion a more active comm again this year! :)

Here is the spoileriffic prompt collection post - comment there to leave any prompts that contain spoilers for series 5.

You can submit as many prompts as you like. The more, the better!

Prompts can be simple - just a phrase, a word, an item, or a quote - or more complex, like a scenario you'd like to see. Don't use more than 50 words, though - inspire people, don't do their writing for them.

On March 1st, we'll be posting the full list of prompts, again in two posts, one with and one without spoilers for the finale.

Once the prompt posts are up, all you need to do to join is pick a prompt (any prompt) and comment to claim it. And then write/create. No worries, we won't hunt you down and throw you into the nearest black hole if you find you can't complete your fic or artwork or vid - that's just so we can see how many people are interested. :-)

You have until March 31st to write, vid or otherwise create your entry - for more info, see here - and thanks for coming to play!
