Hello all,
I'm really sorry, but a family emergency came up and the sign-ups will be at least one further day delayed.
Given there's a buffer between the proposed sign-ups close time (7 September) and the date assignments go out (13 September), my current plan is to close sign-ups later (somewhere between 9 and 11 September) and send assignments out more quickly. Let me know if that will be a problem for you. I think the gap between sign-ups and assignments can be a nice feature in this slow-paced exchange - it gives you some breathing room to finish a letter or decide if you want to ask for a particular assignment - but assignment swaps are still a thing!
A further query post will come soon, and then sign-ups. I'm regretful I've had to call on your patience a couple of times already this round, but I'm grateful for that patience! I hope this will be the last delay on my side.
