The Exchange at Fic Corner

Assignments will be going out shortly. Pinch hits will follow tomorrow morning when I'm awake enough to monitor them. This year, pinch hits will be posted on the mailing list and to the comm at the same time, in the interest of reaching the widest possible audience.

Note that the link in the sidebar for Dear Fic Corner Scribbler letters is currently out of date. There will be a new post for this year posted tomorrow night, at which time the sidebar will be updated.

( Pinch hitting (from the FAQ) )

Assignments are about to go out, followed by the initial pinch hits.

Wonder of wonders, after all the other struggles there are only two people who need pinch hits.
Sign up for the pinch hit list here.

Pinch hits will go out immediately after, but may not get assigned promptly as I do have to work today.

You should have your assignment now at the email account where you get AO3 notices. If not, check your spam filter. Or go to your drop down menu or home page on AO3 and check your "My Assignments" option. Don't forget to sign in first.

I've sent out the first 7 pinch hits (the tweaks we made while tracking down the bug reduced the number) on the pinch hit mailing list. Hoping these are claimed soon.

Assignments are about to go out.

Because we're smaller this year, I've got 9 people assigned to get 2 stories and 9 requests to go out on pinch hits. Sign up for the pinch hit list here.

Pinch hits will go out soon, but may not get assigned immediately as I do have to work today.

Because we're smaller this year, I've got six people assigned to get 2 stories and 6 requests to go out on pinch hits. Sign up for the pinch hit list here.

Pinch hits will go out later tonight.

Signups will end at midnight tonight at the earliest. As your mod is not feeling well, there is a chance I will head to bed early and close sign-ups in the morning. If so, I will post before I go to bed.

At this point, the plan is to send out assignments tomorrow evening (EDT). If there is a delay, I will post.

Get those stories posted. As long as they're over 1000 words you're not in trouble (unless you don't finish them by the opening of the archive next Sunday).

Any outstanding pinch hits will go out tonight, and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Any pinch hits that go out today will be due on the 27th.

You've got approximately 10 and a half hours to go. Approximate, because I probably won't close the collection exactly at 9pm EDT (click on the link for the time in your time zone), but will be closed by 10pm EDT. There is a current pinch hit outstanding on the pinch hit list.

If your journal is locked you'll want to unlock your fic scribbler letter.

You should have received your assignment by now. If you haven't received an email, please check your assignments link on your AO3 dashboard.

If there are any problems with your sign-ups (no fandoms matched on, prompts that don't fit the exchange guidelines, etc.), please pm or email me. The exchange email is fic.corner@gmail.com

I'm about to shut down the computer for tonight in preparation for bed, so responses will be delayed.

I'm hoping for tomorrow morning now. But if you look at the schedule, assignments weren't supposed to arrive till tomorrow anyway, so I figure we're still on track.
