Worldbuilding Exchange

The collection is no longer anonymous, and has also closed for posting.

Thanks to everyone who participated; if you have any feedback on this most recent round, this post is the place to give it.

All being well, Round 6 will take place on a very similar schedule next year.

The collection is no longer anonymous, and has been closed to further works being added.

I hope you all had as good a time participating as I did modding. I'll be honest, this has been a complicated few months for me in various other ways, and although there were times when dealing with worldbuildingex was another source of busy-ness, being able to do something that was so focused on everyone having fun did me a lot of good, so thank you for taking part.

If anyone has any feedback on any aspect of the running of the exchange, please feel free to comment here. (For what it's worth, I have definitely made a note to self to double check before contacting "unmatchable" people in future!)

Worldbuilding Exchange will return next year. I'm thinking about the following as a firm schedule for future rounds, similar to this year's, that should work for me for the foreseeable future:

through January* - noms/sign ups
by first Monday in February - assignments out
3rd-to-last Friday of March - assignment deadline
2nd-to-last Friday of March - works revealed
last Friday of March - creator reveals

*deliberately vague so that I can try to steer clear of any potential AO3 slowdowns

Any thoughts on the above much appreciated.
