~1 HOUR LEFT! Collection closes at noon Eastern time!

[ishie]

The 2018 Crossovering AO3 collection will close at noon Eastern time today, 10/14! Last chance to get your completed work posted!

Remember to sign up for the pinch hit list if you haven't already. Pinch hits will go out after the collection closes and be due on 10/19. We will not reveal the collection until all participants in the exchange have a story or art in the collection in return. Hopefully that will be on 10/20 as scheduled, but may be later if pinch hits are not completed and posted on time.

Please let us know via PM or email if you need anything! If you've already reached out to us, we will follow up with you after the collection closes, if we haven't already.

Collection open a little longer -- until 8pm Eastern time on 10/14

Hi everyone, we know there has been some confusion about the deadline this weekend because of my error in updating the challenge and collection settings on AO3.

To give everyone the best possible chance to complete their story, we will be leaving the collection open until 8pm Eastern time/5pm Pacific time today, 10/14. (See how much longer that will be on the countdown clock.)

At that time, we will be sending the remaining unfilled requests to the pinch hit list, unless other arrangements have been made. (You can make other arrangements by emailing or PMing the mods.) All pinch hits assigned from today forward will be due at midnight Pacific time on 10/19.

The collection will reopen for posting pinch hits and treats once all pinch hits have been assigned. You can sign up for the pinch hit list here. For anyone interested in writing a treat, you can find all of this year's requests here.

Once everyone who has posted a work in the exchange has received a work in return, we will reveal the collection for everyone to read.

Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm and feedback this year! We've had a number of issues behind the scenes, and know many of you have been dealing with similar, so we really appreciate your patience and understanding.

One hour left!

The AO3 collection will close at 8pm ET on 10/14! That's about an hour from now, so get those last assignments in :)

Collection closed!

Thanks to everyone who has posted a completed assignment already!

Now that the collection is closed, we will be defaulting incomplete assignments, except for those who contacted us to make arrangements before the deadline. (If your assignment is defaulted but you can still post a completed assignment by the pinch hit deadline, please email the mods immediately.)

Pinch hits will go out via the Google group shortly. All pinch hits are due by midnight ET on 10/19.
