Star Wars Rare Pairs - Ao3 Exchanges 101

We've put this FAQ together for people who haven't done an exchange on Ao3 before, (or who have, but still have some questions they might be embarrassed to ask!). We'll talk about exchanges, nominations, sign-ups, and assignments. Huge thanks to The Dreaming of Sunshine Exchange FAQ, which did such a good job with their FAQ that I stole most of it!

There is one initial pinch hit resulting from the matching algorithm, it will be posted once your mod makes some tea. (I know I said that last year. I make a lot of tea.)

The collection is live!!!

Thanks to all the participants, pinch hitters, and treaters who made this year another good one. Creator reveals are in a week (12/14 at 11:59AM PST) and until then, all works are anonymous. Please wait until that time to discuss your contributions in namespace. To participants, please comment on your gifts, and to everyone, please enjoy!

If there are any issues or concerns, please reach out to me privately at spookykingdomstarlight@gmail.com.

Thanks again everyone!

spookykingdomstarlight

At this time, all assignments are in! Barring an emergency, we will be opening the collection on time at 11:59AM PST on 12/7.

You can find a countdown at this link.

If you want to add a treat to the collection in time for reveals, it needs to be before that time. However, you are more than welcome to continue posting treats any time after that as well.

Thanks to all the participants and I can't wait until you all get to see what's on offer!

spookykingdomstarlight

The deadline has passed and post-deadline pinch hits are out. We are currently on track to reveal on time next Saturday, 12/7. Multiple extensions have gone out, so if you don't have a gift and don't see yourself on the pinch hit list, don't panic, there are some people still working.

spookykingdomstarlight

Assignments are due today, 11/30, at 11:59AM PST. At the time of this posting, that is approximately 4.5 hours. If your assignment is not posted at that time or you haven't reached out to me privately about an extension, you will be defaulted. Pinch hits will go out shortly after that.

Countdown to due date here.

The treat tracker can be found here.

Thanks so much to everyone for making it yet another great year for Star Wars rare ships.

spookykingdomstarlight

We're in the last week until assignments are due! Please ensure your assignments are fully posted (not just in draft form) and complete at the deadline. You will still be able to tinker with your assignment until reveals.

They are due on 11/30 at 11:59AM PST. Here is a countdown timer for your convenience.

The treat tracker can be found here and is fully up to date as of approximately 9AM PST on 11/23.

Thanks to everyone for participating.

spookykingdomstarlight

Thanks to everyone who has uploaded their gifts at this time. There are a handful of extensions out, so if you don’t have a gift yet, that is what’s going on. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

In the meantime, the treat tracker is progressing nicely. You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v3ZGwZ7k6vHu079ij8EYjgmqUp2SPmWHCYBZ4ajYsTY/edit#gid=1582187290

And a brand new counter for works reveals can be found here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20181201T1201&p0=137&msg=Star+Wars+Rare+Pairs+Reveals&font=cursive

Works will be revealed at 12:01PM PST on 12/1. Can’t wait to see you then!

spookykingdomstarlight

Assignments are due tonight, 11/24, at 8PM PST. You can find a countdown timer here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20181124T20&p0=137&msg=Countdown+to+Assignment+Due+Dates&font=cursive.

At that time, I will be defaulting any assignments that are unfilled or clearly placeholders. Pinch hits will go out as soon as possible after that.

Thanks so much to everyone who has been along for the ride this year. I really appreciate each and every one of you who participates and I'm so excited for next week when gifts are revealed.
