Posting Instructions [Fall Exchange 2018]

Here are the long overdue posting instructions! Again, so sorry for the delay. If you have not yet posted your work: Please post it on tumblr with the tag #BNHAFallExchange2018 within the first 5 tags (so that it appears when we search for it). You can post it as an image (if it’s art), a text post (if it’s fic), or as a link to an outside source (i.e. a link to a fic on AO3).

Please also @ your giftee in the post itself. If you have problems doing so, contact us (we promise to be better about responding).

Just to reiterate, posting on tumblr is required. Posting on AO3 is completely optional (and fine either way), just make sure your work can be accessed via tumblr in some fashion.

If you have already posted your work: Posted on tumblr, included #BNHAFallExchange2018 in the first five tags, and tagged your giftee via @ > You’re all good! Congrats on accurately predicting the future instructions.

Posted on tumblr, didn’t tag with #BNHAFallExchange2018 > Please email us a link to your post.

Posted on tumblr, didn’t @ giftee > Please reblog your post and @ your giftee

Posted on AO3 > Please make a post on tumblr with the link to your AO3 post, following the instructions above.

If you need to officially drop: If you already sent us an ask or an email about it, we will try to respond as soon as possible. If you haven’t yet, please contact us about it.

If you would like to be a pinch hitter: A pinch hitter is someone who makes a creation for a giftee whose gifter has dropped out. If you are already a participant, please send us an email or an ask telling us you’d like to fill in. If you aren’t a current participant, please send us an email with the following information:

Tumblr username

What you’d prefer to create– ships, themes, tags, ratings, etc. (we might ask you to create something outside this, but we will check with you first)

What you won’t create– again ships, themes, tags, ratings, etc. (we will NOT ask you create anything which includes anything you list here)

If you have any questions or concerns: Send us an email at [email protected] or send us an ask here. If it is a question which pertains to your specific case, please ask off anon (we will respond privately). If it is time sensitive, you can DM the mod girraffepancakes on tumblr.

Just a reminder from our previous post, the posting deadline has been extended until December 3rd. If you can post before then that’s great, but please try to post by that day.

wit the situation of absence, have you considered recruiting more moderators?

I can’t really get into the specifics of what happened with the Halloween and Fall Exchanges without giving personal details, but we do have those covered for at this point. We might consider getting more mods for future exchanges, but that’s a bit far out right now (compared to more pressing matters).

Hi I was just wondering what was happening with the Halloween flash exchange? I wrote something but didn't get anything in return, and I looked at the collection and realised I'm not the only one this happened to. Is there a way to make sure this doesn't happen again if I sign up for another exchange?

We are currently trying to track down the missing pieces. Normally we would assume they are unofficial drops, but due to the technical issues many people had we are hoping that we may be able to contact a few more people for their works. Otherwise, we will try to get pinch hitters for any remaining missing pieces.Part of the problems we faced were our fault (not having pinch hitters ready in time, not being up to date on communication with you all), and part of the problem was just the nature of fan run events (AO3 not assigning partners properly, etc.).

I can’t promise anything for future events except that we’ll continue to do our best to make sure everyone gets a gift piece, whether through pinch hitters or (occasionally) filling requests ourselves.

Hey, could you please do a quick 'how to' on posting our flash exchange fics? I'm not sure which boxes to tick or fill out, and I expected to see a challenge/exchange assignment checkbox. Are we supposed to post it to a collection instead? Thanks in advance!

Sorry we’re late on this, and I’m not sure if you were ever able to post or not since this is on anon. The posting process is more or less the same as outlined here though. Feel free to send another ask if you’re still unsure.

Sorry to bother, but I sent an email concerned the flash exchange and I was hoping I can get a reply soon bc tonight is the last night I have to work on it

Without knowing who this is, I can’t say whether or not we did reply to your email ever. However, we are currently up to date on email responses, so you should have received a response at some point (unless there was a glitch). If you still are waiting for a response, please contact us off anon.

Halloween Flash Exchange

If anyone from the flash exchange is still unable to post, please contact us! We are missing a few submissions and are trying to track them down. (We know many people had technical issues with AO3, so we want to make sure we didn’t miss anyone)

#flashexchange

Will you guys be organizing a secret santa this year, or do you know if any others will be hosting a secret santa for bnha?

We aren’t planning a secret santa as of now, and I don’t personally know of any that are happening but maybe one of our followers does? If anyone knows of a secret santa this year, let us know!

Is there a specific collection on Ao3 we need to post our work to on Ao3 for the fall exchange?

I just posted a full post about this, but you can post to the collection “BNHA Fall Exchange 2018″ if you’d like to.

Posting on AO3 [Fall Exchange]

For those of you who have posted on AO3 already and/or are planning to post on AO3, we have created an optional collection titled “BNHA Fall Exchange 2018.”

Instructions for posting to the collection:

Once you’ve opened a “New Post” on AO3 and filled in any relevant sections (Title, Tags, etc.), scroll to the section titled “Associations.”

In the field “Post to Collections / Challenges” type the collection name: “BNHA Fall Exchange 2018.” Your screen should look like this:

Click the one which is highlighted red in the picture.

In the next field (”Gift this work to”) type your giftee’s AO3 name. If you do not know their AO3 username, you can contact us for it. Your screen should look like this:

Click your giftee’s name. Fill out the remaining fields as you wish, and click post.

The post will not show up automatically, because the collection is moderated. This means that the mods will have to manually approve each fic to be added to the collection, at which point the fic post will display properly. Expect 24 hours or less for your fic to be approved.

Once again, posting on AO3 is optional for the Fall Exchange. Posting on tumblr is the only requirement.

Thanks for your participation everyone.

#fallexchange #FAQ

Are we allowed to post previews of our piece for the fall exchange or WIPs?

In general, WIPs or previews aren’t allowed to be posted for any of the exchanges.

Hey I'm taking part in the Fall Exchange and I actually completely forgot about it due to irl work and deadlines. I was wondering if I could suggest that for the next event there are two checkins? The google form used was a really good way of doing it, so maybe that could happen a little over a week before the deadline to remind people it's coming up?

We will consider it, thanks for the suggestion! Would anyone else prefer this?

Hey there! I have a small question about the fall exchange gifts. I know that the gift should stand on its own, meaning that it should have a beginning, middle and end, but is it alright if it's a more open ending and we potentially work on sequels in our own time in the future?

Sorry for the late reply, you’ve probably already written out your ending at this point :’)But in general, yes that’s fine. It’s really the writer’s discretion on what counts as an “ending.” As long as it feels complete to you (even if you add more in the future) it would be fine.

Hi, my email app just updated and now I can't see the characters in front of my Fall Exchange persons name. It just looks like this: ��paigy. Can you help me out please >.

Please send us an ask off anon so we know what your url is (sorry for the late reply)
