Hope everyone's doing well with their Soup fics! We've got 10 days left until we go live next Tuesday, on July 28th. Three fics have already been sent to me (MUCH YAY) and I look forward to getting the rest of them. If you've sent me your fic and I haven't acknowledged it, please get in touch with me again.

A little Soup history, for those who don't realize how long we've been doing this:

details under the cut )

...and that brings us to now, when we're ten days away from celebrating Gen Fic Day with our twentieth Alphabet Soup.

I'm no longer going to try to make an abridged version of the anthology, as I've been doing since our second Soup. Instead, the complete anthology, whether in one entry or two (depending on how long it will ultimately be), will be solely on Dreamwidth. What we will have, both on LJ and on DW, is a detailed table of contents, complete with summary, details of characters and era, and a snippet of fic. This is asking a bit more of the Soup authors, I know, but I've created a template and included an example that I hope will make the process as easy as possible. Since the template will be sent to me via e-mail, I'll be dealing with any HTML tweaks that might be necessary and I'll also be able to help anyone who needs a little coaching along the way.

The template and example are below the cut. If you've got any questions or comments, please let me know here or by emailing me at sg1.fig at gmail.
