Hi everyone,

With little more than a week remaining until event end, here are some clarifications and reminders.

1. Deadline

A minor extension: The deadline is the end of Sunday, 1 February (originally 31 January). I was in such a rush to get the event up last year that I failed to take weekdays into account. As the original deadline falls on a Saturday, I'd rather everyone has the full weekend to race to the finish line.

To make the deadline, shrines have to be submitted by the end of Sunday in whatever timezone you live.

2. Shrine qualification

In light of a few instances of confusion, I'd like to repeat that this event is about shrines in the sense of standalone fansites. Their quality as distinct websites is largely defined by their content and structure, next to their presentation (e.g. layout, name).

The term "shrine" has in more recent times been used by other communities for different creations, namely for subpages or subsections on so-called personal sites that are not conceived as separate websites. As stated on the event site, "shrines" in that sense of the word do not qualify as shrines for this challenge. For more information on this, see the About page and the linked shrine directories for examples.

That said, a site's URL is not relevant for its qualification as a standalone website. You don't need a separate domain or subdomain for your shrine; something like domain.com/subject is perfectly fine!

3. Submitting your shrine

Please reread the submission guidelines to make sure you don't forget anything, especially the link to this event and a 200x40 button of your shrine.

4. Shrine reveal

The full list of finished shrines shall be up on the site and in an announcement post as soon as possible after event end, at the latest a week after.

You are welcome to make a separate post to share your shrine and invite comments and feedback anytime, even before the deadline if you finish earlier! Please tag the post with #event: ghost of you and #plug.

I wish you all lots of energy, time and inspiration for this final stretch! :D Do reply to the last checkpoint post if you have any questions or need help.
