The deadline for assignments has now passed! We've temporarily closed the collection to take stock before once more opening it for posting. We will likely have the post-deadline pinch hits out approximately a day from now. Thanks!

Update: the collection is now open for posting once more.

Hi everyone, this is a reminder that assignments are due in about 48 hours on Saturday, November 1 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown).

As we come up on the deadline, check your email inbox in case we have sent you a query!

Minimum requirements:

All gifts and treats should be for a fandom and character the recipient requested, must be a length they requested, and must not include reasonable DNWs from their AO3 signup. They should be complete.

Do not put de-anonymizing information in your fic or author's notes (e.g., links to social media) until after the anon period is over.

Treats that do not fit any recipient's request may be posted to the collection without a recipient.

Submitting your assignment:

Go to the collection's page on AO3, click on "My Assignment", click "Fulfill", and paste in your fic.

If, for whatever reason, you feel you cannot fulfill your assignment by the deadline, you may default instead.

( Posting, and to Which Collection )

Bonus!! Decoy questions/author questions

A few weeks ago, we made a post about the questions we send to recipients when authors need to clarify something about their recipients' preferences.

As a result of that poll, in a situation where an author has a fandom-specific question, we will now send questions for at least 3 fandoms in a person's requests, but will not generally make up extra/decoy questions for their full set of fandoms.

You suggested that curious authors could make up (some of) their own extra questions. While that could be helpful - if you want to - we ask you to keep the following things in mind.

Clear questions are the best questions. Several times in the past we've received extremely confusing questions and it turned out a participant thought they needed to disguise what they were asking from the mods. Please do not.

Avoid excessive detail, especially about plots you don't plan to write. Don't ask your recipient "Would you be interested in a story where they time-travel to meet five different generations of their ancestors, and also there are capybara zombies?" unless you are contemplating such a plot (and maybe not even then) - because you may make your recipient hopeful about something that won't arrive.

Avoid being disingenuous about things that are actually clear to you. Try to ask about points of reasonable ambiguity. If you ask your recipient things like "You said you don't want any mention of hospitals, but is it okay if a character has a headache?" you could stress them out by making them wonder if they need to re-write their DNWs, or by making them wonder if you have wildly misinterpreted other parts of their requests. Decoy questions require a little creativity… but not too much. Save most of your creativity for the actual writing.

And again - you are not obliged to provide decoy questions! If you need to ask your recipient something, all we need from you is: 1) what information you need, and 2) who you are. That's great! We can take care of the rest.
