did the people who didn't send stories in give you an explanation or something at least? it kind of sucks for the people who didn't get a story in return, and for you when you worked hard to organise this, if some people didn't hand stuff in

No one really told me they weren’t turning in a story at all, a few people had some extensions but nothing ever got turned in after that, and there’s a good portion that I never heard from again. I know things come up, but I just really feel bad for the people who did write their story and didn’t get anything in return. I’m very sorry to those people.

[mavinsummerficexchange]

Hi everyone! I just released all the names of the authors. I’m sorry it took so long, but I was waiting for some more stories to come in, which I don’t think is going to happen at this point. Thank you to all the lovely writers who participated, and I’m so sorry if you didn’t get a fic in return, but hopefully everyone at least enjoyed a new Michael/Gavin fic or two, I know I did!

[mavinsummerficexchange]

are there more stories to be posted?

Yes, there should be soon! I’m just waiting on some works that have gotten extensions.

Title: Ghosts of The Office

Summary: Michael had always been there. From the very beginning when Geoff and Jack first started making the achievement guides The auburn haired male was there. He watched the group grow and develop, lean less towards Achievement Hunting, more towards Gaming in general. It made him happy, he could watch them as they grew and no one would be none the wiser. Of Course nothing lasts forever.

Title: Carry Me Home

Summary: College AU- Roommates "Hey Michael," "Yeah?" he finally turned around from his dresser to find Gavin wearing only his boxers on his bed, sly smile on his face. "You wanna argue with me or do you wanna fuck me?” And there it was. Michael’s favorite part about these nights where Gavin needed him to get out of a situation. He couldn’t help the grin that broke out across his face as he dropped the shirt in his hand back into the drawer and reached for his belt. “You seem to doubt my ability to do both,” he teased. Gavin just rolled his eyes and laid back on the bed.

Title: When the universe leaves you to fill in the blanks

Summary: Gavin does not have a name on his wrist. He has no soulmate. Unsure if he is even capable of love, he is nothing but confused by his feelings for Michael - especially when there's a heist on the horizon.

Will there be a story tonight?

Oh gosh sorry I had class and homework a little late tonight, so we'll skip tonight so nothing gets posted too late!!! Sorry about that!

[mavinsummerficexchange]

if the person we wrote our fic for leaves a comment are we allowed to reply to them? won't that reveal our account name to them?

Yeah, it would give it away, I would personally wait until authors are revealed, but don't worry, it won't be too long until authors are posted, just a couple of weeks.

Title: at the end of the world will you find me (so that we can go together)

Summary: Michael couldn't kill the spark of hope that they weren't the only ones who’d got away. That maybe Gavin had made it out too. It would kill him if he had to walk back into that office and find Gavin's dead body. He was on the verge of a breakdown over every other person who'd gone, but Gavin would be the one to break him. After all, Ray and Ryan weren't the only ones who'd danced around their feelings until it was far too late. Michael felt his heart clench at the thought of never seeing Gavin again, alive and okay.

Title: Some Kind of Bliss

Summary: Prompt: Everyone is born seeing only in shades of gray. When you meet your soulmate, color invades your life. What would happen in the universe fucked up?When Gavin met Michael for the first time, there was an explosion of color. Michael didn't make any sign that he saw it, too, so Gavin kept it inside him, locked away. Michael met Lindsay, and they were perfect together. Both had bumped into each other and when they blinked and they could see the wonderful hues of the world bleed into their vision, they knew it was meant to be.Michael is Gavin's soulmate, but Gavin wasn't his.Gavin wasn’t bitter. That was a lie. He was bitter as hell because really it should’ve been him and Michael saying ‘I Do’ but the universe, it appeared, was capable of fucking up and ruining lives.

Will you be posting any of the stories tonight?

Not tonight, I’ll post the first story tomorrow, and then I’ll post one per day after that until they’re all posted, so stay tuned! 

[mavinsummerficexchange]

It’s time!

Works are due today! Let me know if you’re having any problems posting your work, or if you want to make sure you submitted yours correctly. And if you’re not done, or you need an extension for any reason, let me know and we can work that out! The first fics with be posted in the next couple of days, but will remain anonymous until after every fic has been posted.

[mavinsummerficexchange]

what time on the 21st are the fics due by? i just wanna make sure i'm not late b/c i'm not in an american timezone

You can do it anytime on the 21st for you, I’m not picky on the exact time, just whenever works for you.

[mavinsummerficexchange]

When we are finished how do we submit our works to you? Do we hit the fulfill button on our prompt page? I just want to be sure so I don't accidentally post it where I shouldn't.

When you are ready to post your work, go to your assignments page. There you should see an assignment from this exchange, and there should be two buttons next to the assignment, one that says Fulfill and the other days Default. Click on fulfill and it should bring you to the post new work page. From there it is the same as when you post a normal work, except some information for the exchange is already filled in. You can start posting your works whenever you finish, but they won’t immediately be put in the challenge, I’m going to wait until closer to the deadline to start posting the works in the challenge. If this doesn’t work for anyone, or you’re confused about anything, feel free to message me and I can help.
