Haikyuu!! Summer Holidays Exchange

A Haikyuu!! fanworks exchange, modeled after the winter holiday exchange - fest is not necessarily summer themed, despite the title, but in spirit of relaxation, vacation, and enjoyment.

[hqsummerhols]

The Haikyuu Holidays Exchange will NOT be having another round in the foreseeable future.

Thank you for your participation in the past! We hope you keep creating and run exchanges of your own.

hi! will there be a hqsummerhols 2017 event? :D I'm just curious bc i'm interested in joining this year so i'd love to keep a lookout for sign-ups. but it's okay if mod-chans are busy and there's no event this year! I totally understand that real-life needs to take priority over fandoms :)

Hi anon! Sorry this is terrible late.

For the summer round there will not be an event this year. However, there may be a 2017 event at @hqwinterhols so you might want to keep an eye out for that ;)

Haikyuu Summer Holidays Exchange 2016: Final Notes

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for a wonderful hqhols this season. This has been the biggest exchange we've had yet, and we are extremely pleased with the turnout.

Collection statistics:

144 signups (+11 since the winter!)

150 works (-18 since the winter)

17 pieces of fanart

133 pieces of fanfiction, accumulating to 934,051 words (+280,218 since the winter!)

Special mentions also go out to our pinch hitters Sotong_sotong, WielkiOgien, tookumade, arghnon, silktaildwarf, anguishofmylove, vagarius, HQ-Lily, volleyowlets, Karasuno Volleygays (ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor), kiyoyachiwitches, hananapeel, raggirare, charcoalsuns, nishisoyabean, and harajukucrepes! You have been an immense help and we could not have gone through without you :) Thank you also very much to everyone who signed up to even be on the pinch hitting mailing list - just having you signed up was enough support for us.

To those of you who've dropped out: don't worry about it! Life gets in the way, and sometimes it just doesn't work out. Both we and your recipient understand the situation and the need.

And, one more final note: please don't forget to leave kudos/a comment on your gift, especially if you enjoyed it! We are sure your gifter wants to hear from you - and they know who you are now, in case you've forgotten ;)

Jokes aside, though - thank you all for your incredible patience and understanding through the number of roadbumps we've hit this exchange. We managed to get through this anyway, better than ever. So have a wonderful rest of the season, and be sure to keep a lookout in case we come back ;)

Mod out!

[hqsummerhols]

Additionally, to artists - if you post your art in the #hqhols tag on Tumblr or Twitter, we’ll retweet/reblog it for you!

[hqsummerhols]

CREATORS ARE REVEALED!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding through this exchange :) We hope to see you again soon!

[hqsummerhols]

The poll on Twitter has decided that creator reveals will be three days after work reveals, as originally scheduled. Sorry to anyone who would've preferred otherwise! So get all the anon reading in as much as you can :)

[hqsummerhols]

If you like something, remember to leave kudos and maybe a comment ;) If you're tweeting about gift or rec a work on Twitter, tag your tweet with #hqhols and we'll RT it!

[hqsummerhols]

Don't forget that all works - pinch hits included - are due by TODAY.

[hqsummerhols]

I'd really rather the reveals were sooner, mostly because I worked hard on my art and should have already been able to post it on my artblog by now if all had gone well; I spent a while not posting much on said blog because of that project, and would like to finally be able to show it instead of vaguely going "I'm busy with a project I can't share yet, sorry". I'd really like to be done with this to focus on other things now.

Thanks for letting us know!

[hqsummerhols]

Apologies for how late some of these answers are! Keep the works coming :)

[hqsummerhols]

is it normal if my username has "(pinch hitter)" written next to it after i've submitted the fic? i'm not actually a pinch hitter and the fic hasn't been approved yet so i figured i'd ask!

Yes, that’s normal! Sometimes we have to assign you as an AO3-recognized pinch hitter, but we keep tabs on everyone’s assignments and participation :)

[hqsummerhols]

would it be possible at all to move dates around so there could be a week or so between work and author reveals? im not the fastest reader and ive always loved the anonymity portion of hols. ofc i understand if no, especially with how the dates have already been shuffled around due to ao3 mishaps

We made the reading period shorter because we thought people might be more antsy to see who their creators are (and because of the AO3 mishaps); but we’ve heard some interest about this so we’re going to post a poll on Twitter about it :)

(Stay tuned!!)

[hqsummerhols]

Hi. I was rereading my entry and I noticed a typo or two and so I was wondering if it's okay to edit our works? It won't cause a problem with the reveal or something, will it? (Sorry, I just haven't really participated in such exchanges a lot.)

Yes, that’s fine!
