The collection for round sixteen of got-exchange is now open! Go here to read everyone's fic! If you haven't done so yet, you might want to consider redating your fic - otherwise it'll show up under the date when you posted it and probably get lost in the main fandom tag. For this, edit your fic, click on "set different publication date" and change the publication date to the current date. Everyone is expected to comment on the gift they received. If there are any issues with your gift (e.g. if your writer wrote a DNW), please contact me. Please also take the time to comment on other fics in the collection you enjoyed. Let me know if you have any feedback on how the exchange went this time! Did the new AO3 set-up work for everyone? I'm always open to suggestions. Edit: I just saw that a couple of fics aren't revealed yet. This seems to be some kind of AO3 bug, I'll try to find out what I can do about that. It’s fixed now. :)

Reveals on Wednesday

The collection will be opening 24 hours later than originally planned, on Wednesday at 11.59 pm UTC. That’s in a bit under 36 hours from now. If you have any last minute edits to do on your fic, please get them in until then.

My apologies for the delay.

Delay

Unfortunately it looks like we've had a default from someone who asked for an extension, which means that reveals are going to be delayed by at least 24 hours. If anyone has the time and inclination to do a very last-minute pinch-hit, please let me know asap (PM on Dreamwidth to linndechir or email me at gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com, or contact me here on tumblr).

I'll post another update as soon as I can say for sure when exactly the collection will open. I apologise for the delay, but I won't open the collection until everyone has a gift.

In the meantime, if you have any last edits to do on your fic, please get them in as soon as possible.

[gotexchange]

Hey! May I know when the collection will be revealed? Thanks!

Provided that everyone has posted their fic, the collection will be revealed on Tuesday at 11.59pm UTC. However, there are currently a few people who still have extensions, so if there are any last minute problems, there might be a delay.

[gotexchange]

Deadline tonight

The deadline is in 7,5 hours, at 11.59pm UTC tonight. Please make sure to have your fic posted to this collection by then. If you need an extension, please contact me before that so I won't worry about you dropping out.

[gotexchange]

Please reply to this post on Dreamwidth to let me know whether you're still on track to finish your fic/art on time. The deadline is on Tuesday, November 14th, at 11.59pm UTC. Please post your fic on AO3, in the right sub-collection, by that date. There are instructions on how to post your fic in your assignment email as well as in this post. If you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. If you have to drop out of the exchange, please let me know now so I can find a pinch-hitter. If you don't reply to the check-in post, you'll get an email from me in a few days. If you've already posted your fic/art to the collection, you obviously don't have to check in again.

[gotexchange]

Assignments sent

I just sent out the assignments. You should have received an email from gotexchange[at]hotmail[dot]com. If you haven't, please let me know as soon as possible.

The following information is the same as in the emails I've sent out, but I'll post it again here to make it easier to find:

Please post your fic to the got-exchange16 subcollection by Tuesday, November 14th, 11.59pm UTC. In order to post your fic:

go to http://archiveofourown.org/collections/got_exchange16

click on 'post to collection'

add your recipient's AO3 name under 'Gift this work to'

fill in everything else (title, summary, tags, your fic itself) and click on 'post'

Your fic will remain unrevealed (as a 'mystery work') until the collection is opened one week after the deadline. You may continue editing your fic during this week, but you are expected to post a finished story by November 14th. You are expected to fill one of your recipient's prompts and to respect their Do Not Wants. Your fic needs to be at least 1000 words long, finished and to stand on its own (i.e. not a sequel to another fic, not the first part of a longer, unfinished story). If you have any questions about how to post your fic, don't hesitate to ask me. If you have any questions for your recipient, please also contact me – don't contact your recipient directly. If you have to drop out of the exchange, please let me know as soon as possible so I can find a pinch-hitter. There will be an obligatory check-in post on November 3rd. Thanks for participating, and have fun writing!

Schedule for the next roung of got-exchange

Feedback was overwhelmingly in favour of leaving signups on Dreamwidth and moving posting to AO3. Thanks to everyone who replied last post! This means that you need an AO3 account to participate in got-exchange from now on. You don’t necessarily need a DW account - I’m willing to let people sign up with anon comments or Open ID, as long as you provide an email address and your AO3 name.

Schedule:

Signups open: September 20th Signups close: September 30th, 11.59am UTC Assignments go out: October 3rd (at the latest) Obligatory check-in post: November 3rd Deadline: November 14th, 11.59pm UTC Reveals: November 21st, 11.59pm UTC

Attention: Signups close on September 30th at noon UTC, which is early morning for those of you in the Americas. Please take that into consideration if you’re in one of those timezones - you’ll probably want to make sure you’re signed up by the 29th. The posting deadline and reveals deadline will be at midnight UTC.

Signups will open next week. The signup form will pretty much stay the same as in the past. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Reblogs to spread the word are, as always, appreciated.

For those who missed it a few days ago: we’ve moved from Livejournal to Dreamwidth! Please join the community over there, if you have a DW account.

More importantly, I put up a post asking for feedback on some changes I’m planning for the exchange. Please let me know what you think. Anon comments are turned on, so you can comment even if you don’t have a DW account.

I’m hoping to get the next round of the exchange started in the next weeks.

(For those of you stumbling across this post and wondering what the hell this is about: got-exchange is a fanart and fanfic exchange for both A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. It’s run a grand total of fifteen times since 2011, it’s open to fic and art about all pairings, characters, and genres, including the pre-ASOIAF novellas, and you can participate if you’re either a book fan or a show  fan or both. The exchange used to run on Livejournal, but I’m currently reorganising a few things, hence this post.)

First of all, my apologies for not updating this community for so long. I  know I initially wanted to run a round in spring, but I needed a bit of  a break. I am planning to get the next round up and running soon.

Second,  though, due to a bunch of recent changes and Livejournal becoming more  and more of a pain, I have decided to move the communtiy to Dreamwidth.  I have turned on anonymous comments on DW for now, if you don't have an  account. I have also imported all old posts, comments etc. to our new  Dreamwdith community, and the old Livejournal community isn't going to  be deleted (I mean, not from my side, who knows what Livejournal will  get up to in the future). The only thing that won't work on DW are the  old masterlists - they link to the Livejournal posts, obviously, not the  new Dreamwidth posts, and I frankly do not have the time to re-do  fifteen masterlists.

So if you plan on sticking around for the exchange, and you're on DW, please join the DW community.

Third,  I want to make some changes to how the exchange is run. Update it a   little, if you will, mostly because the current set-up is a lot of work for me. I will make a post about that in the next couple of days and I would very much appreciate feedback then.
