As I said, Anna is on vacation. I don't remember the dates exactly, but she was leaving at the end of November and the vacation was for two weeks, so I'd say there's probably another week to go until she gets back.

It's possible that there's no internet at the hotel where she's staying, although, if it were me, I admit I'd forget about everything else anyway and enjoy the vacation...

So, be patient (this is directed at everyone/anyone).

The deadline isn't until the 15th, by which time she'll be back, and I'm sure she'll answer/reply to any emails which have been sent in the meantime.
Even if the emails haven't gone through, there'll be plenty of time to resend them, I'm sure.

Also, it's a GMail address, so there's not much chance of the inbox getting full or anything like that, so unless you get an email reporting that your email couldn't be sent, it should be fine.

Alternatively, you could just wait until you know that Anna is back and then send the diagrams.

@Littlezilla: I also sent another couple of CPs about a week ago, but still no reply, so your not the only one.

Hopefully we should get a reply soon...

So, what file-formats are allowed?

I guess PDF...

"I can open nearly every file. The only one so far I had problems with is WordPerfect but everything else (including Word files) should work fine. "
(quoted from here)

Also, "pdf is ok as well as most other formats. I prefer A4 or letter over other formats, but it doesn't really matter."

And in the same thread, Anna says that filesize is not an issue.

And in another Christmas Book thread, she mentions being able to convert a PowerPoint file to PDF, so I'm sure that as long as you're not using any filetypes which are too obscure, there will be no problem.
Even so, I'm sure Anna would tell you if there was a problem with the files being sent and give you a chance to send something more agreeable.

i sent individual scans to her and she said they would be fine (they were upside down)

pdf is heavily preferred, and thus i sent pdf this year.
However i think last year i sent her powerpoint files.

You made diagrams in PowerPoint?

I recently got into Inkscape to try and make diagrams for my (simpler) models. I'm having a bit of trouble with some aspects but as soon as I overcome them, I'd really like to make and send diagrams for my candy cane and maybe something else.
Moreover, a while ago, someone asked me for the CP of my genie. I also made him a photodiagram to make the turban part. Now, I don't think it's going to be of much use if it stays untouched on my laptop, wouldn't it

?

that was me!

Ok, wrapping up the diagrams for my kiwi...

I experimented with Inkscape and I must say I like it, considering the fact it is free software... It crashes a lot though...

Will send the diagrams in .pdf.

No thank you
no one needs your self-portrait
