Author Reveals, and Feedback of Multiple Sorts

Authors are revealed, but the collection is still open for late treats, of which we've had several already! And, of course, you can continue to read and comment to your heart's content.

Find more to read here!

Thank you to everyone who participated this year, and especially to O. for helping with story checking. And, as always, thanks go out to everyone who wrote pinch hits and got us across the finish line.

I'd like to open this post up for any feedback you have about the exchange, and especially about a couple of new rules under consideration for next year. These are just ideas, and they may not be implemented regardless of responses, but it would be helpful to know if there's interest one way or another.

Ideas under early consideration:
  • Implementing a commenting rule along the lines of FFFX, where recipients must comment on their gift, refuse it, or contact the mod before signing up for the following year
  • Allowing participants to offer and request comics at least 5 panels in length, also along the lines of FFFX's comparable requirements. Would you be interested in offering or requesting comics?

Thank you for running a wonderful exchange! ♥ I had a lovely time this year. Feedback thoughts:

1) I'm neutral on a commenting rule - I don't mind having one but I'm not sure that they're very effective, and I wouldn't want it to make more effort/trouble for the mods.
2) I love the idea of allowing comics! ♥ I'd definitely request them and possibly offer as well.
3) I wonder if a longer anon period might be feasible? It could give people more time to read before creator reveals (if they prioritize that), especially since there were several fics over 10k this year, and more time for treating (especially for pinch hitters), too. Maybe a full two weeks like FFFX or a week and a half would work?

Thank you again! ♥
