Deadline
The deadline is today. Unless we've agreed on an extension, you should send me your fic/art by the end of the day. If there are any problems and you need a few more days, please let me know.
Posting starts tomorrow. Since we have fewer participants than last time, I will only post one fic every day for the next week. If I have received everyone's fic/art by then and there are no unexpected last-minute disappearances, I will probably change that to two posts a day after Christmas so you don't have to wait for your gift quite so long. I hope that's okay for everybody.
And the usual request to all members of the community, not just the participants: please, please comment. After every exchange round I hear from some people how disappointed they are by the lack of comments in this community, and I think it's really a pity that many people can't be bothered to leave a short comment on a fic they like. Nobody expects you to read fics you're not interested in, but if you read something anyway, it doesn't take that much time and effort to write one or two sentences to tell the author you liked their work. Of course you don't 'owe' anyone comments, it's just a nice thing to do. And it should go without saying that you are expected to leave a proper comment on the fic/art made just for you; anything else is just rude to the person who spent so much time writing/drawing something for you.
/modly nagging. I hope everyone enjoyed participating so far and will like their gift.
