11 hours left! Here's a countdown.

Thanks to everyone who's gotten in touch or has posted their assignment already! I'm still hoping to hear from 18 people, including some pinch hitters.

Even if you're defaulting, checking in (or clicking the default button in AO3) is helpful to me, because I know for certain you're dropping out and haven't just forgotten the check-in. That said, if you haven't let me know one way or another by 11:59 PM US Eastern time, I'll mark you as a default for this round.

Details of the check-in are on this post.

Check-in week has arrived! Please go over to this form and fill it in.

If you have multiple assignments (for example, an assignment and a pinch hit) please fill the form in separately for each assignment that you have.

You are required to check in by 11:59pm EDT 14 June 2024. (countdown) If you don't, I will assume you are defaulting. This is also the default deadline to avoid makeup assignments for future rounds.

Please note that all people participating in the exchange as a creator (either as a participant or as a pinch hitter) are required to check in. If you have already turned in your assignment, you're not required to check in, but it's no problem if you do.

I will hold off on posting new pinch hits until the end of the check-in period, so keep an eye out for those!

If you prefer not to use Google forms or have trouble with the form, you can leave a comment here answering the questions below the cut.

Or, to be more precise, a little under two and a half!

Please remember that whether you are a pinch hitter or a signed-up participant, you must check in by 11:59pm EDT 21 May 2023. (countdown)

If you don't check in by this time, we will mark you down as defaulting so your assignment can go out to pinch hit, if necessary. If you've turned in a complete work already or have defaulted manually, that counts as a check-in.

We've heard from about 100 people and are expecting about 30 more.

You can check in here with Google forms or, if you prefer not to use Google forms, on this post.

Thank you to everyone who's checked in! We're still waiting on about ten participants. Please check in here if you haven't!

If you need to withdraw, please do still check in (or just hit the default button). This gives us a little bit of reassurance that you haven't just forgotten. :)

The check-in and default deadline ends at 11:59 PM on Saturday, 14 May, EDT, a few hours from now. Here is a countdown. After the check-in closes, we'll put together an updated list of pinch hits, so stay tuned for more...

The mandatory check-in period is upon us! (Technically, it starts in 15 minutes, but I won't be at my keyboard.)

Please reply to this post by 11:59 PM EDT on 16 May. What time is that for me?

If you do not reply to this post by 16 May, you will be defaulted automatically. Please do respond either way, though, so we know as early as possible if you need to back out.

If you have taken a pinch hit (thank you!), please leave one comment for your original assignment and a separate comment for your pinch hit. That will make tracking easier for us.

All replies to this post are screened. We plan to hold resultant pinch hits until the end of the check-in period, so keep an eye out on 17 May!

First, there are approximately two days left for the mandatory check-in. Whether you signed up for the exchange, claimed a pinch hit, or both, please leave a comment on this post by 11:59 PM EDT on 12 May. What time is that for me?

So far we have had 84 check-ins, and we are waiting to hear from 37 more people.

Second, we are extremely grateful to all our pinch hitters. That’s a huge commitment without any guarantee of an extra story in return.

A number of people are writing pinch hits but didn’t sign up for the exchange, and we’d like to give them the opportunity to leave prompts for treats. Treats for pinch hitters go in the same location as treats for anyone else: Fandom 5K for stories 5,000 words and up, Fandom Couch for anything up to 4,999 words.

If you picked up a pinch hit but aren’t signed up, please leave your AO3 name in a comment along with the fandoms you’re interested in. You can specify characters/relationships, genres, and prompts if you like.

Everyone else, go forth and treat! (And don't forget to check in.)
