If we forgot to nominate something, can we message you to add it? ;_;

Yes! Send it quickly so that everyone can take full advantage of it in their signups!

When does the Archive go live on the 7th? Is it at midnight or at 20:00/22:00 pm like some of the deadlines?

Hello anon! The collection will be revealed at 8 PM EDT on the 7th. Here’s a countdown to keep track :) 

If for some reason we need to delay the collection opening, we will announce that as soon as we have made that decision.

Question: I did a nom for Charade Amell/Sera, but it seems like it linked to Female Amell/Sera, which is a totally different ship. Is that an A03 thing or something I did wrong with the nom?

I noticed that -- it looks like it was Ao3 not being clear that Charade Amell is a separate character from Female Amell. I edited it when doing approvals. Charade Amell/Sera should be in the tagset; if it’s still an issue during signups, we’ll do more troubleshooting as needed.

Hey, I didn't see an announcement for submissions being due. Is everything still going according to plan?

Yup, everything's still on track! Got a little delayed in making a tumblr post announcement, but assignments were officially due on August 27th. We space out a week between the due date and Works Revealed to allow for pinch hitters and folks on extension to finish up their work.

So stay tuned! Works will be revealed on September 3rd at 9 AM US Pacific / 12 PM US Eastern / 4 PM UTC+0.

Will there be a treat/treatless list at any point?

Yes! We are working on getting it together to make sure that everyone’s treat preferences are accurately reflected.

Pre-reveal will our works appear in the AO3 "works" section of our dashboard? Or somewhere else? I really wanted to edit some bits of my fic but it doesn't seem to be popping up

If you go to your account on the AO3, you need to click the “Works in Collections” link in the top right-hand corner. Anything you’ve posted for the exchange should appear on that page.

Here’s a screenshot, if that helps:

Hey, I noticed I have a typo in my gift. Can I edit my fic to fix that before go live, or is that going to mess with stuff on your end?

Edit away! It doesn’t affect anything on our end.

Hi, I know today is the posting day for the rough draft. I'm assuming I do that by setting it up as I normally would and then making the published day Sept. 7th? Also, how does the anonymous posting work?

Yes, just post your assignment as you would a normal work. As long as you mark it as your assignment when posting it, it will automatically be anonymous because of the collection settings.

We made a post just a little while ago with more information about posting your assignment that should hopefully help. Just let us know if you still have questions!
