I've just sent out the assignments. Please make sure you have received an e-mail from gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com. If you haven't, please tell me right away. I hope everyone is okay with their assignments. It wasn't always easy to come up with a solution that would work for everyone, but I hope that I've managed. In most cases, you probably won't like all of the prompts you've been given, but I think that everyone should have at least two or three prompts with characters/pairings they like. Since there was a misunderstanding about this last time: you only have to fill one prompt, not several.
As I said before, if you have any questions about your prompts, please contact me, not your giftee. If you have to drop out, tell me as soon as possible so I can look for a pinch hitter. Don't disappear without a word.
I would also really, really appreciate it if more of you could actually meet the deadline this round. Last time two out of three participants asked for an extension and I find it a bit hard to believe that all of you had a really good reason for that. So please start writing a bit earlier this time and try to be finished by December 16th? I try to be understanding of all your writer's blocks and real life troubles, but it's really stressful for me to keep wondering if some of the people who asked for extensions aren't going to drop out a week or two AFTER the deadline (which happens every single time).
Fyi, we have 39 participants this time. Thanks to everybody for participating. I hope that everyone likes their prompts and that you'll enjoy writing/drawing them.
