Feedback post and schedule for round nine
All entries for round 8 have been posted. You can find the masterlist here. If you catch up on any fics and art you've missed, don't forget to leave a comment. That goes especially for those of you who haven't commented on their gift yet - it's incredibly rude not to say thank you to someone who wrote/drew something just for you.
As a reminder, there's a got_exchange collection on AO3, so if you repost your fics there, you can add them to the collection if you like. I'm also working on setting up a tumblr for the exchange. Don't worry, the exchange itself will remain entirely Livejournal-based; the only point of the tumblr will be to make it easier for those of you who check tumblr more often than LJ to stay up to speed about reminders, fic posts etc. I hope this will help a little with the problem of people not seeing the check-in post or not noticing that their fic was posted until weeks later.
I hope everyone enjoyed this round of the exchange. My thanks to everyone who participated and/or commented, and especially to the pinch-hitters: leapylion3, schattenfalke, moderntrickster, breve and outboxed.
Here's the schedule for round 9:
Sign-ups will be open from January 13th to January 24th.
Assignments will be sent out on January 26th.
The deadline will be on March 16th.
I know that's fairly soon, but whenever I posted polls in the past about when the next round should take place, most people wanted to have another round sooner rather than later, so at some point I stopped doing that. I hope this schedule works for most of you.
Again, thanks everyone. And if you have any criticism about this exchange or suggestions for future rounds, please let me know. :)
