Almost all gifts are in; there are three people who've been in contact with me who have a short further extension until 1955 UTC so I'll post what I'm 99% confident will be a final pre-reveals update then.

Best of luck to all those still working, whether on assignments, pinch hits or treats! (If you are considering treating, the collection will remain open for treats until creator reveals at 0655 UTC on Friday 1st April.)

The main pinch hit/extension deadline has passed with no further pinch hits required at this stage. I will advertise the two remaining pinch hits from the last post again shortly, with a new deadline of 0755 UTC on Thursday 23rd 24th March.

I am optimistic that all will proceed smoothly from here, putting us on track for reveals at 0755 UTC on Friday 24th 25th March. However, if at 0755 UTC on Wednesday 22nd 23rd there are still unclaimed pinch hits (including if any new ones are generated by the assignments that are due at that time not coming in), I will most likely decide to delay reveals in order to allow more time for them to be filled.

ETA: Correction - there is one new pinch hit, so there will be three pinch hits on the next post.

ETA again much later: to fix day/date mismatch.

The "default deadline" is at 0755 UTC on Friday 12th March, about 36 hours from the time of this post. There is no particular penalty in worldbuildingex for defaulting after this point rather than before it (though the proviso that defaulting at any time means you are not guaranteed a gift, should your own creator then default, obviously still applies). The default deadline exists more as an invitation to consider whether you think your assignment's on track or whether it might be better to give a pinch hitter a little more time.

I will put up a new pinch hit post on Saturday, including both any which have not yet been claimed, and any new ones which arise over the next few days. (While I'm here, do take a look at the current pinch hits if you have the opportunity.) The deadline for pinch hits advertised after the default deadline will move to 0755 UTC on Tuesday 23rd March.

Meanwhile, if you think you might need an extension for your assignment, I'm very willing to discuss that - email me at worldbuildingmod@gmx.com or send me a private message on dreamwidth.
