Welcome to D/Hr Advent 2011! D/Hr Advent has invited twenty-four authors and artists to create a short one-shot or fanart. Starting on December 1st, one work will be revealed each day through December 24th.
All of the work will be hosted on
Archive of Our Own (AO3). A link to the daily work will be posted on the Dreamwidth and LiveJournal communities. You do not need a Dreamwidth, LiveJournal or AO3 account to follow along.
Where to Leave Comments/KudosWe ask that all comments and kudos be given to the authors and artists directly at AO3, rather than left at the Dreamwidth or LiveJournal entry. You do not need an AO3 account to either see the works or to leave a comment at AO3.
D/Hr Advent Giving Out AO3 InvitesAO3 invites are available for anyone who would like one. AO3 accounts are not restricted to authors; readers, reviewers and lurkers are more than welcome to ask for AO3 invites. If you would like an AO3 account, please leave your email address in the comments of this post or send a Private Message (PM) to
boundbooks or email seeking.boundbooks@gmail.com in order to contact Boundbooks directly.
Recommending WorksIf you would like to rec a fic or work of art on your personal blog/journal, check out the upper right-hand corner of the daily work. If you click the ‘Share’ button, a pop-up will give you a pre-formatted box of HTML with all the relevant information for the work. You can then copy and paste this HTML into your blog/journal for a quick and easy way to make a rec.
Ebook DownloadsAll fic on AO3 can be downloaded as an ebook by clicking the ‘Download’ button, which is located in the upper right-hand corner of a work. AO3 does not currently offer ebook options for art.
DDoS AttacksAs of 11/28/2011, LJ appears to be under a
DDoS attack, which may render the site unreachable. The mods will attempt to post the daily work to the LiveJournal community, but the site being down may prevent a timely post. In that case, you may wish to check the Dreamwidth community (
dhr_advent) or the
D/Hr Advent 2011 subcollection on AO3 directly. If you would like a Dreamwidth account, try
dw_codesharing for a Dreamwidth code or asking your friendslist/followers.
