Hello everyone!
I sent out the compilation to everyone I had email addresses for. If you DID NOT receive one and you donated to JDRF, you need to email me.
Most of you already know that my computer crashed and I lost the document containing the list of email addresses of everyone that donated. There were a few I still had in my email but I am positive it wasn't all of them. So I know that there have been quite a few people left off.
Please make sure that you include your receipt from JDRF when you email me.
I will be taking steps to ensure that this never happens again and I am so sorry that it happened this time. Lesson learned, that's for sure.
One of the things I am looking to change for next time is to NOT try to do this all by myself. I took on way too much and mistakes were made - Mistakes that should never have happened. I would like to have at least 2 people added to the FAJD team. If you're interested in joining, please email me (fandom.a.juvenilediabetes@gmail.com) and include why this cause is so close to your heart.
We also have a Facebook page that I would like to utilize more for next time. I'm hoping if I can get you guys involved in the Facebook page, if there does happen to be a problem again, I can post a notice on here, Twitter (@FandomAJD), AND Facebook. Below is the link to our Facebook page. Please go and like it, especially if you plan to be involved in the fundraiser again.

Once again, I apologize for all of the problems. Thank you all so much for your continued patience and support!

Oh! If you have already received your compilation, I would LOVE to know what you think of it. You can post on the Fb page, tweet me, or email me. Thanks!

Very very Important
I am so sorry about all of the problems but now it seems I have one more...
My laptop crashed about 2 weeks ago. I lost everything...all my documents and everything were just gone. Luckily, I had saved what I believed to be all of the emails with the stories, banners, info, and ALL donators in a file on my email.
I just went through and moved everything on to a flash drive (so this would never happen again) but when I went back to count the amount of donations we received, the amounts didn't match what had been counted up before my laptop crashed. Obviously, I'm missing some emails.
So I'm asking for EVERYONE who donated money to JDRF and forwarded me your receipts to PLEASE email me. I need to cross check and see who I've left out.
As far as the stories received, I have all of those. So no worries, Authors.
The complation will be emailed out on March 18th (this Sunday).
Thank you all so much for your help and I am so very sorry for all of the trouble.

Delay
Due to unforseen circumstances, it will be this Sunday (the 18th) before I will be able to email out the compilation.
It will definitely be that date, though.
Remember: All Authors, Banner makers, Betas, and Donators will receive this compilation. I will send it to the email address provided so if you want it sent to a different email address, you will need to email me at fandom.a.juvenilediabetes@gmail.com and let me know.
Also, if you have not received it by the 18th, please contact me.
I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you all for your patience and continued support.

Deadline Has Been Extended!
Due to the busy lives of a lot of our contributing authors, I have decided to extend the deadline to Monday, March 5th. That gives all of you who are having trouble getting it in by the original deadline an extra week to finish up.
For those of you who donated money to receive the compilation, please do not worry. I will still have it all put together and emailed out to all of you by March 15th.
** Authors please do not forget to include your beta's and banner maker's emails so I can send them the compilation as well.
Thanks!

ATTENTION AUTHORS!
Some important info is listed below. Please take a moment and read it over.
* If you are sending me a Teaser banner and summary, PLEASE include the following: Pairing, Rating, and Banner maker. If you do not send the banner and info to me via email, I will not put it on the blog.
* When turning in your submission, PLEASE include the following: Title, Pen name, Pairing, Rating, Banner maker, Beta, and Summary/Warnings. You are more than welcome to include A/N.
* Please make sure and send me the email address of your Banner makers and Betas so they can receive the compilation as well. Their hard work will not go un-rewarded.
* The due date for your submissions is Feb. 27th, 2012 by 11:59 pm US Central time. I will not accept any late submissions UNLESS you have contacted me and we have worked something out. Your banners (if you have one) and your submissions are due at this time.
* The date for when you can post your submissions on your own accounts has been moved! The new date is May 3rd, 2012. There are 64 authors signed up to donate to this compilation. That is going to be one monstrous compilation! I am not complaining whatsoever BUT I want to make sure that the kind people who donated to receive the compilation have plenty of time to read it. Hence, the date change.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me and I'll do my best to answer your questions/accommodate you. Thanks again to each and every one of you. This would literally not be possible without you all!

Sign-Ups Are Officially Closed!
As of midnight last night, Author sign-ups concluded.
I want to take a moment and say Thank You to each and everyone of you that signed up. We have 64 contributing authors! This is going to be a monstrous compilation and I couldn't be happier.
All of you who signed up should have received an email with guidelines and information for your submissions. If you have not, you need to email me and let me know: fandom.a.juvenilediabetes@gmail.com.
Just in case there was a probelm with your email, here are the rules:
1. ALL submissions are due by Feb. 27th, 2012. (This includes your story and banner, if you choose to include one.) Please include the following on your completed work: Title, Pen Name, Fandom, Pairing, Rating, Summary/Warnings. *We WILL NOT accept submissions with any kind of rape or incestual content.
2. You may send me your banners and summaries via email if you wish to have them included on the Teasers page but it is not mandatory. Please make sure you include the following: Who made your banner so I can give them credit on the blog, the pairing, and the rating for your story.
3. All submissions are to be Beta'd. Please give them credit in your A/N.
4. There is no word count maximum. As long as we're not running in to the hundreds of thousands, we're good. The minimum word count is 1,500.
5. ****IMPORTANT! I originally stated that you would be allowed to post your submissions on your own account by April 15th, 2012. Due to the size of the compilation, I am going to move that back a few weeks to ensure that everyone who donated to receive this compilation has plenty of time to read it before it is released to the public. So instead of April 15th, I am pushing it back to May 3rd. Please DO NOT post on your own accounts before this date.
I think this covers everything but if you have any more questions, please feel free to email me at the email address above. Again, I cannot thank you all enough for donating to this cause.
