The future?
With regrets, I don't think I can run Round 5 by myself. Some possible options:
-FFFX goes on hiatus (maybe a different exchange takes up the third prong of Triple Crown?)
-Another mod takes over FFFX?
-Modding work for FFFX is shared between myself and other mods (who may eventually take over?)

I've really enjoyed this exchange! I'm sad I can't keep up my current commitment to it. On this topic, I am truly grateful to friends who helped me with nominations approvals and letter checking in the last couple of rounds. You're wonderful. Also pinch hitters. Also everyone, really.

If you're interested in co-modding, areas I would be particularly grateful for help in include:
-character/relationship nominations approvals
-letter checking
-assisting with Triple Crown

Also helpful:
-works checking
-general inbox maintenance such as sending on queries from a creator to a recipient.

My favorite part is matching, so although the generation of extra assignments is time-consuming, it is also fun. But extra assignment generation is not strictly necessary, in case you are thinking of offering to mod and find that part daunting.

If you are keen to work on a tag set, you don't necessarily need much other modding experience to be a co-mod. Or maybe you have your own vision for a long fanwork exchange. Let's discuss here or at mod.modzilla@gmail.com, and thanks for your interest.

Hi! I'd love to assist with any (and any number) of the roles for the next round

[snickfic]

Huge congrats on your four years as solo mod! I can't imagine modding a big exchange like this all by myself, especially over such a long time period. I've never signed up, but I've enjoyed reading things in the collection all four years it's run. <3

I'd be happy to help with modding next round! Especially tag approvals, letters checking, and communications with participants.

[westiereads]

I'd love to help with tag stuff, as well as inbox maintenance!

This has been one of my favorite exchanges of the last few years, and I will be awfully saddened if it goes on hiatus! :( But I understand it must be a ton of work and am not sure how much help I could be in terms of co-modding, so I will just hope and say thank you for running it for these four wonderful rounds. ♥

I had so much fun with FFFX, thank you so much for organising the exchange!! A couple of people have already offered, but if you need more hands, I’d love to help :D

[withinmelove]

I could help with the nomination approvals, letter checking, and works checking!

[shinsengumi]

FFFX has been my perennial exchange since I pinch hitted during its first year, and I'd love to help it continue in any way I can. I'm a retired tag wrangler so very comfortable with potentially checking nominations. I'd also be happy to check letters, assist with Triple Crown and help with inbox maintenance.

I'm not much of a known name in exchanges and participate in 3-4 a year, so no worries if you'd prefer to work with someone more reliably known in the community! Either way, thank you so much for consistently running an awesome exchange that's helped change my writing process for the better.

'allo!
This has become one of my favorite exchanges, so if there is anything I can do to help with co-modding so it can keep going, please let me know.

Been a participant only so far, so limited by that knowledge, tho' willing to learn.

Can definitely help with checking things and inbox maintenance.

Triple Crown is confusing the what-not out of me, so that's probably not something I can help with, tho' with training, that would be fine.

Thank you for these last couple of years and the kind comments at check-in that kept me going and encouraged me to believe that I could, in fact, stretch my boundaries and write fic of this length. It's meant a lot.

Chirp, chirp!!
Birdy, BardicRaven

Holy cow, you're doing the whole thing BY YOURSELF? That is AMAZING. Thank you so much for doing it, I love it and hope other people step up to help/take it over!

[vendettadays]

Thank you so much for all the work you do for this exchange <3

[svgurl]

Thank you for all your hard work running this exchange! I'm happy to help with nominations, letter/work checking and communication with participants.

[peaked]

Thank you so much for a mammoth effort in running this exchange! It's one of my favourites. ♥

I'm happy to toss my hat into the ring to help with nomination approvals, letter checking, inbox maintenance, etc.

Thank you so much to everyone who offered to help or just left kind thoughts! I really appreciate you.
