The deadline for submitting stories, art and vids has now closed. If you did not seek an extension from me before the due date, you have been defaulted.

If you do not have a gift, there are three possible reasons for this!
1. Your creator defaulted and you're one of the pinch hits below;
2. Your creator sought an extension and your gift will be uploaded in the next few days; or
3. Human error has meant that I missed you.

Please feel free to email me at press.start.mod[at]gmail if you do not have a gift and want to know what's going on.

Now for pinch hits! We have three new ones, and I am going to repost PH7. The archive will not go live until all participants who turned in a gift receive a gift. Please comment below with the number of the pinch hit you want, and your AO3 name. All pinch hits are due 11:59pm on 17 September.
