Opening in 48 Hours (A Further Day's Delay) + Pinch Hitter Present Push

Most required works are in! Thank you, pinch hitters! However, two pinch hitters are still working, and to take some pressure off I have decided to delay the collection opening by one more day. Condolences to everyone hoping for Saturday, and congratulations to everyone who can make use of the breathing room.

While you can only be so sure about the future, I do not expect I will need to delay again. ETA: All required works are in.

The 2023-2024 / Round 4 FFFX Collection will now open at:
- 5pm EST, Sunday 3 March
- See countdown

Creator reveals will now occur at
- 5pm EDT, Sunday 17 March

I'm delighted that several of our pinch hitters have treats... but not all do. If you're twiddling your thumbs at the moment, please consider checking out their prompts! Or even a treat for a past pinch hitter (tag is linked). Thank you SO much, pinch hitter treaters.

Treats can be any length/size and can be posted indefinitely, but for those who prefer deadline motivation, consider how nice it would be to post a pinch hitter treat during the two-week anon period.

All signed-up prompts are here.

FFFX Collection Delay - Reveals FRIDAY 12 March

Sat, 13 Feb 2021 23:53:21 GMT

Posted by: modzilla

The fffx 2020-2021 collection was set to reveal on 27 February, with creator reveals on 13 March.

However, we have two unclaimed pinch hits, and I have not finished my own completeness checks of submitted works. As a lesser factor, we also have a large number of pinch hits due on February 21; I hope all goes well for our hard-working pinch hitters, but the larger the number, the bigger the risk that something goes wrong.

Therefore, I am moving the works reveals date 13 days, to 11:59pm EST Friday 12 March, with creator reveals at 11:59pm EST Friday 26 March. Please note the change of weekday. The collection and sticky schedule have been updated.

I'm sorry to those who were ready for their work(s) and gift(s) to go live, and are now disappointed. It's a long time to delay the collection, but I aim to only delay it once.

Current pinch hits
Pinch hits #49 and 61, and any further pinch hits I post, will be due on Friday 5 March, 11:59pm EST. If you can help, please either email me (mod.modzilla@gmail.com) or comment on one of the posts with pinch hit details, where the comments are set to 'screened'. Not this post; comments are set to public. Please include your AO3 name.

Triple Crown
This also affects the claiming and prize schedule for Triple Crown (triplecrownofexchanges). After creator reveals on March 26, I will send the Triple Crown Committee a list of qualifying names, based on who has completed a full gift for another person before reveals, is in good standing with the exchange, and has their name publicly associated with their work (ie, I would not pass on the names of creators whose work is orphaned or in an anonymous collection). This is for their verification purposes - you will have to actively claim the prizes you're interested in as well.

But, given the delay, if you want to speed the process up a bit, you're welcome to contact me privately between now & creator reveals; if you give me permission to tell Triple Crown Committee you completed this leg of the challenge, I'll pass that information on immediately. Again, you can email me at mod.modzilla@gmail.com or you can comment on a pinch hit post, where comments are screened. No, that isn't a trick to give you a pinch hit.

Other
If anyone is considering treats during this delay, please consider prompts from pinch hitters. I hope to add an index of requested fandoms later.

Betas are still available - and needed - at the beta post.
