It's not Yuletide, we screwed up!

[dark_administrator]

Hey, around 50 of you will probably have recieved emails telling you about the story you have recieved for yuletide, because that story was cross-posted to our Chromatic Yuletide 2010 collection.

WE'RE SO SO SO SORRY!!!!

We had checked in with the yuletide mods to make sure that we could unselect the 'this collection is currently unrevealed' box beforehand so that when the yuletide stories went live, those cross-posted to the chromatic_yuletide_2010 collection would also go live.

However, none of us realised though that when we did that, the system would send out emails to all the recipients of the stories.

::facepalm::

We've restored the settings, so anyone uploading further stories or treats to both collections will not be revealed to their recipients, and we'll make sure we touch base with elyn and shalott to get the reveal synchronious, so please please don't worry if you are considering writing for our challenge. (Which - please do! There are almost 700 prompts to choose from!)

Again, for those 50 people whose yuletide squee suffered from premature notification, MASSIVE APOLOGIES!!

I've been trying so hard not to peak under the tree and now I have a summary in my email calling my name going read me, read me. Must resist the call to unwrap a corner of the present!. ^_^

Be strong! You can do it! (And sorry!)

Do the emails say anything about the author, or just the 'hey you have this story in this fandom'? I ask as someone who posted a story to the chromatic collection and I'm just curious what my recipient now knows.

The notifications just gave the title, fandom and summary of the fic; they didn't show the author's name and the recipient was also unable to actually access the fic itself.

Oh, well that's good! Er, not completely good, of course, but better than knowing too much! :-) Thanks!

THAT'S OKAY! I am now just really excited! I'm glad you guys figured out what was going on and how to fix it for next year.
