It's the most Ninoful time of the year~
Dear watchers of ninoexchange, I think you know what time it is! It's time to start thinking about Nino Exchange 2012! I had an absolutely amazing time last year, so I'm hoping some of you might be interested in doing it again. And those of you who lurked, maybe this year is the year to give it a go. Whaddya say~? :D.
As far as logistics go, the schedule this year will be the same as it was last year, so it feels something like this:
Sign-ups: April 1st - April 13th
Assignments: April 15th
Deadline: June 10th
Posting: June 17th - June 23rd
Reveals: July 1st
To refresh (or introduce, for any newcomers), you can find the rules/FAQ here, and a preview of what the sign-up will look like at last year's sign-up page here.
New and possibly pertinent information: This year I'm thinking of making it a rule (highly suggesting?) that sign-ups include more than one requested pairing, or at least a second requested focus (-miya friendship, Nino gen, etc.). While I do my best to pair writers and recipients with similar writing/receiving hopes, I found last year that sometimes the overlap is very, very slim. To avoid that, I'd like to ask participants to allow for some wiggle room in what they'd like to receive. Of course, you're free to push for your favorite Nino pairing, but it'd be nice to get some "I wouldn't mind these alternatives" alternatives in there as well.
I hope that's all clear. If you have any questions or comments or whatnot, hit me up via e-mail (ninoexchange@gmail.com), PM me, or comment here!
See you April 1st~
