Worldbuilding Exchange

The collection is now revealed!

Apologies again for the delay, and thanks for your patience.

I very much hope that you enjoy your gift, and the other works in the collection. Please remember that as of last round, the worldbuildingex rules say that you should acknowledge your gift in some way -- ideally, this will be by commenting on it, but if there is a problem, please do get in touch with me to see if we can resolve it, either by emailing worldbuildingmod@gmx.com or direct message here on DW. (If you don't wish to take either of these options, refusing the gift via the AO3 functionality that enables this also counts.)

From the other point of view, though: creators, please be patient and remember that there are many reasons why your recipient may not be able to comment immediately, especially at the present time.

Creator reveals will take place at 2155 UTC on Friday 3rd April.

Unfortunately, there is a last minute pinch hit; see below. This will be due ASAP - if you think you may need a little longer than the currently scheduled time for reveals (1655 UTC on Friday 27th), please get in touch so that we can work something out and I can communicate clearly with all participants about a revised opening time. Update: Reveals remain on schedule.

Many, many thanks to anyone who can help out. To claim, comment here with your AO3 name (comments are screened).

( CLAIMED! - Pinch Hit #18 - Cat's Paw, Heart of Gold series, Jean Robertson series, Frontier Wolf, Black Jewels, Left Hand of Darkness )

If you would like to claim any of these pinch hits, comment here with your AO3 username, clearly indicating which one. (Comments are screened.) Thanks in advance to all who can help. The deadline for these will be 1655 UTC on Thursday 26th March (i.e. 24 hours before reveals are due to take place) - countdown here.

(NB There have been a relatively large number of extensions granted at this stage; if you are worried about the status of your own gift, please get in touch via email to worldbuildingmod@gmx.com or DW direct message and I will be happy to give you some more information about your specific situation.)

I was hoping to post this at exactly 24 hours to go, but things have been rather hectic. Apologies.

Thanks very much to everyone who has already completed their assignment, picked up a pinch hit, is still working away, is cheering the exchange on from afar, etc.

Regular assignments and pinch hits #1-#10 are due by 1655 UTC tomorrow, Friday 20th March. (Countdown)

Pinch hits #11 & #12 and most[*] extensions are due by 1655 UTC on Monday 23rd March. (Countdown)

Any further pinch hits which arise after the assignments deadline passes will have a due date of 1655 UTC on Thursday 26th March. (Countdown)

If you think you might need an extension, please do get in touch, either via worldbuildingmod@gmx.com or DW direct message.

[*] if I have arranged something separate with you, whatever I said to you individually takes precedence over this

To claim this pinch hit, please comment here (comments are screened), clearly indicating your AO3 name. Comments will not generally be replied to; if you don't receive an AO3 assignment for your desired pinch hit within ~24 hours and you see it marked claimed, you can assume that it has gone to someone else.

The deadline for this pinch hit will be 1655 UTC on Monday, 23rd March, though this is negotiable.

( CLAIMED! - Pinch Hit #11 - Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings, Discworld )

There is a little under a month to go until the deadline for works to be uploaded. (Countdown here.) So here is the beta post; if you want to volunteer your services as a beta, please feel free to do so in the comments of this post.

If you're offering, please specify at least:

• which fandoms you can help with
  
• the type of beta you can offer
  
• anything you can't beta
  
• how people can best contact you to ask for your help
  

If you're a creator needing help finding a beta, and there isn't anyone in the comments here offering what you need, please contact the mod in the first instance. Posting directly in the comments here asking for help may make it too obvious what your assignment is.

To claim one of these pinch hits, please comment here (comments are screened), clearly indicating your AO3 name and the pinch hit you would like to take. Comments will not be replied to; if you don't receive an AO3 assignment for your desired pinch hit within ~24 hours and you see it marked claimed, you can assume that it has gone to someone else.

( CLAIMED! - Pinch Hit #5 - King of Fighters, Lunar (Video Games), Psychic Force, Suikoden, Chrono Trigger )

( CLAIMED! - Pinch Hit #6 - Horizon: Zero Dawn, Kingdom Hearts, Fire Emblem: Three Houses )

There are a number of things I want to double check, both before and after running matching, so don't expect assignments immediately. (NB At this stage, though, I am already confident that they are on course to appear on or before the 29th as per the schedule.)

The next time I post, it will either be to announce that assignments are out or to let participants I need to contact know that they need to check their email.
