The Treat Run Collection is open!

You can find it here.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, both in the Treat Run and the Exchange!
Entry tags:

Creators have been revealed!

And we've officially reached the end of this year's Star Wars Rare Pairs Exchange. Thanks so much to everyone who has participated. Feel free at this point to show off what you've made!

If you haven't left a comment on your gift, please, please do so.

And if you're not ready to give up on the rare pairs, don't forget the Treat Run.

Treat Run Prompt Post

You can find the Treat Run collection here.

I thought it might be fun to add some new prompts/ships/etc. into the mix, so if there's a ship you wanted to see requested that didn't get requested or there were ships you wanted to request that you weren't able to request, here's the place to do it. Please include your AO3 handle so anyone who might pick up the prompt will know who to gift it to.

If you prompt for a ship that's not in the tagset, make sure it's a rare pair by this exchange's standards.

In your prompt, please be respectful of common triggers. If it's something that could fall under one of AO3's major archive warnings, please warn for it.

Note: I can't guarantee prompts will have a gift created for it and I cannot guarantee that you'll receive a gift in return for completing a treat for someone else.
Entry tags:

And all has been revealed... plus a few reminders!

Well, not all. You’re still anonymous, so most has been revealed. They should already be showing up or will soon show up for you as AO3 apparently reveals gifts in batches. So go check out your gifts via the Gifts link on the sidebar of your AO3 account. Or go here to see all the works. The collection is now unmoderated, so if you post anything to it, I won’t be approving it. Please continue to respect DNWs. And remember to keep your creations secret until creator reveals happen on 11/26 at 8:00PM PST. At that point, show all the world what you’ve made!


Please, please, please remember to comment on your gifts. We’re all here out of love for rare pairs and it’s nice to know our efforts have been appreciated and the only way anyone can know that is if you tell them. And if you’re feeling extra awesome, comment on other people’s gifts as well!


Don’t forget to update the publishing date on your creations now that the works are revealed so they’ll show up on the front page of their various tags fair and square! If you don’t know how to do this, hit edit on your work, go down to the Associations section, click on the Set a different publication date and change it to the day you go in there to edit the date. So, if you do it tonight and it’s still the 19th where you are, change it to 19 November 2016. If you do it tomorrow, go with 20 November 2016, etc. I wouldn’t suggest changing the date more than once though.


The Treat Run collection is now open. You can find that here. This collection is also unmoderated. And, again, respect DNWs. I’m also playing with the idea of allowing the posting of creations for ships in the tagset that haven’t been requested as well as allowing folks to post prompts out into the ether that anyone can pick up and post to the collection. Any yeas on that? Or nays and keep it purely treats for participants?


A big thank you to all of you who’ve participated in these shenanigans for the last two months or so. It’s been incredible. There’s one last thing I’d like to ask of you and it’s this: if you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas for what you’d like another round of this to look like, anything at all, please go to this post and leave me a comment there. You don’t need an account to comment and all comments will be anonymous unless you have a DW account and are logged in. Regardless, all comments will be screened, so only I’ll see them.


And lastly, a big thank you for my co-mod, dhampyresa, who held my hand through this whole process and answered every last question I could possibly have had throughout this thing.

Comments and suggestions!

So, I'd really like to do this again next year and, barring unforeseen complications, I'm planning on doing so. But this was really my first time doing anything like this, so I'd love to hear what you've thought about this whole thing.

If you have any ideas for anything you'd like me to improve upon or ideas of fun activities that can be done between now and next year or challenge suggestions (presuming we all like the challenges and want to keep them).

Anonymous commenting is on and any comments left will be screened so only I can see them and I won't know who you are unless you sign your comment and/or you post logged in.

Thanks again so much for participating.

Get those last minute treats and edits in, because we are good to go. If you’ve got anything in draft mode that you’re planning on posting, now is the time.

If you need to know when everything is going to be revealed in your time zone, go here and if you’d like to stare at a countdown clock, go here.

Entry tags:

And I'm off to bed!

Thanks to everyone who’s participated and is continuing to participate. You’ve all been wonderful!

Again, if you have any problems or concerns, feel free to IM me over at the swrarepairs.tumblr.com account or email me (litgirlnicole@gmail.com) or PM me over here, I’m sure you all know the drill by now.

The deadline has passed!

I'm in the process of defaulting assignments. If I've defaulted you by mistake, please email me at litgirlnicole@gmail.com, IM me over at the swrarepairs.tumblr.com account (I respond most quickly over there), or PM me at spookykingdomstarlight.

If you're a participant and you haven't yet received a gift or your gift total doesn't match the number of treats you've got in the treat tracker plus your assignment and you're not sent out as a pinch hit, do not fret! I've offered short extensions to some participants, so that may be what's gone on there. That said, please contact me if you have any concerns.

To the rest of you: keep on treating if you're treating. If you want to fiddle with or put some extra polish on your assignments, feel free, etc. etc.

See you with some pinch hits soon!

EDIT: I’m also still in the process of approving some gifts, so please be patient with me if you’ve posted yours and it’s not approved yet. It will happen as well.
