With the creators now revealed, the third Temeraire Summer Exchange is now over! Thank you everyone for participating! We loved having you all this year ^^ There were defiantly a few bumps along the way but hopefully the mods will seem them coming next year and glide smoothly past thanks to what we've learned this time around.

With that out of the way, some discussion points for the community:

-This year we did a separate nominations process, where the nominations tagset was cleared out and every character and pairing had to be nominated again before sign ups began. What did you think of this change? The mods are considering going back to the old system of joint nominations and sign-ups, but what do you think?

-This year we shortened the writing period. Although some people needed extensions, it was about as much as usual, and gave us more time for the reading period

Any thoughts, questions, concerns are welcome, either here or via email (temerairesummer@gmail.com) or by dming us privately!

This seems like a good place to sincerely thank and congratulate our amazing pinch hits, @boigy, @WerewolvesAreReal, and @Robotic_Nebula who were heroic in making sure everyone had something to enjoy this exchange.

[temerairesummer]

Works Revealed!

Wooo hooo everyone!! We did it! YES!!! The third Temeraire Summer Exchange has gone live! Go forth! Look, read, and comment on all the wonderful creations we managed this year!

The 2022 Temeraire Summer Exchange!!
