New to non-software game jams

I have a logistical question. I post most of my creative writing on GitHub (most of it is software or programming related). For the purposes of this jam, will you accept something posted on GitHub or do we need to post on Itch? I'd rather take time after the jam to format something in LaTeX to upload to Itch, but I likely won't have time by the deadline. Also, I'm partial to the open source publishing model of "provide a free copy in HTML and charge for print or PDF", so no one is left out. I just want to make sure this will still meet the intention of the game jam.

Related, would it be appropriate/allowed to provide assorted SVG/PDF outlines of possible items for people to draw on or color if they don't feel comfortable drawing the item themselves (a bit like an art class project in school)?

I’m generally cool with any kind of format, although I don’t know how to ‘accept’ anything other than an itchio project into the jam.

Your instructions mentioned you'd accept it late. Can I just let you know when I upload it to Itch?
