Signups Closed!

[chocolateboxmod]

Signups are now closed, at 294 participants! So close to 300! Maybe next year we can beat 300.

Matching

Matching has already begun and hopefully assignments will go out soon. If you are contacted by me, it means that you are not able to write for anyone, and you will be asked to adjust your signup so that you can be matched to someone. The quicker you can get back to me, the quicker assignments can go out, so please ensure that the email address you have with AO3 is one that you check.

Pinch hits

Pinch hits will be posted to the community with comments screened so that only I can see them. To pick up a pinch hit you leave a comment with your AO3 name and which pinch hit you would like to pick up.

I am assuming that there will be some initial pinch hits after the matching algorithm ends, so please keep an eye out for those!

Treats

Treats go into the main collection! They will not be your recipient's ultimate gift but are instead an additional story. Please feel free to write treats!

List of all prompts

A text searchable document of all prompts will be done while matching is ongoing. I'll let you all know when it's complete!

Mod contact

Please contact me at chocolateboxmod[at]gmail if there are any problems with your assignment! I know that people are contacting me with DW messages, but it has been very difficult to reply to a number of you because your security settings mean that you can send messages but not receive them.

I wanted so much to sign up but had a family emergency over the past two days (which is when I found out about this comm)! Are non-participants still allowed to do treats?

[chocolateboxmod]

Absolutely! The more the merrier!

Just curious, but what's the point of a text post of all prompts? It's pretty easy to sort through requests on the ao3 page by fandom to look for requests relevant to our interests. It seems like a lot of trouble for the mod.

[chocolateboxmod]

I have a bookmarklet that I used to create it, so the text file takes about 5-10 minutes to create. It's handy for situations where you want to write a specific fandom or ship, because you can search the file for that.

Are there going to be posts where we can discuss our progress and things? I love doing those :D

[chocolateboxmod]

Sure, why not! I'll do one at the two week mark and then weekly after that.

[badass_tiger]

Awesome, thanks!

I can't wait!

Hi, is the deadline for treats the same as for assignments? I've been woefully disorganised and failing to write.

[chocolateboxmod]

There is no deadline for treats! You can keep doing them even after the archive goes live, but you'll get more viewer eyes if you have them in by 14 February.

[china_shop]

Great! Thanks for the quick reply. :-)
