Five Figure Fanwork Exchange

The end of August 31 in New York time (EDT) is the deadline for:

• completing any letter you have linked in your sign-up, and


• requesting to swap your current assignment to an assignment for any other participant

.

Here is a countdown to that time!

If you want to swap, please email me.

If your letter is incomplete, please complete it.

Thank you to everyone who has picked up pinch hits! We still have several initial pinch hits left. After the swaps deadline passes, I will post an updated list of pinch hits.

Although the period during which you can swap to any person ends on August 31, you will continue to have the option of swapping your assignment for a pinch hit until January 18.

Thanks to everyone who's helped take us down from 15 to 3 pinch hits. Some more will go up after the 31st.

Swaps
If you'd like to swap your assignment for another one, please contact me (mod.modzilla@gmail.com) and let me know which other recipients you would like to create for instead. If you're swapping to a pinch hit, I'll confirm immediately. Otherwise, I'll confirm on the 31st. I won't reassign you to anyone who already has 2 creators, and if you give me a list, I'll prioritize anyone who will be left without a creator by someone else's swap.

Letters
132 people chose to link a letter. Please check your letter and make sure it's complete. Letters that are not complete after the 31st will be deleted from your sign-up. I'll warn you first. If you currently have an incomplete letter, please complete it as soon as you can so a creator can get started on their work with full confidence.

Assignment swaps approaches! That is, if you want to trade in a current fffx assignment for a different one, comment here or email me by September 14. More instructions below. If you want to keep your assignment, please just check in in November.

Swaps "week"
When I first thought of this, I referred to it as swaps "week", which is misleading - sorry. To be clear, your deadline to let me know if you would like to swap your assignment is September 14 (EDT). Here is a countdown to one minute before midnight on September 13, EDT. After that deadline I will sort through requests (will there be two? twelve? twenty?), reassign people, and post pinch hits. That will probably take less than a week. If we do this next year I will call it Swap Date or something like that.


If you want to swap your assignment
Please comment on this post or email mod.modzilla@gmail.com with:
-Your AO3 name
-Your current assignment
-Assignment(s) you would like instead
-Your preference: if you cannot have an assignment you want instead, would you like to default or would you like to keep your original assignment?

You are likely to get your preferred choice - however, I will not assign people to new recipients who already have two people creating for them OR who have already defaulted.


Letter checks
If your letter is clearly incomplete or locked on 14 September, I will edit your sign-up to remove the letter link.

Please check your letter to make sure it's fully visible and is the version you meant to post. Please do this even if you have defaulted or think you may have to default. Your original creators may be working on gifts for you, and treats are always possible. If you have unfinished sections that you don't think you'll be able to fill out, a note that says "This letter will not be updated further", or similar, counts as complete.

And if you're still in a checking mood, consider also checking your recipient's letter and their DNWs, while there is still plenty of time to correct course if straying into territory they won't enjoy.


Questions to recipients
I am happy to pass these on, whether you're asking about your official assignment or about requests you're thinking of treating.

Because I'm a solo mod and some people are asking for many fandoms, I am only making up fake questions if you'd specifically like me to, and then, just one or two. I don't promise to cover all fandoms, because I don't think I can do it convincingly. I hope that's all right!

Thank you very much to everyone who has responded to recipient questions. I really appreciate it. Right now, I have none outstanding.
