We’re getting the ball rolling on Polyswap 2019! To start you guys off, we’ve got some updates on our plans for the year, and the 2019 schedule as well.
On Hiveswap: After mod deliberation, we’ve decided not to allow Hiveswap prompts or characters in Polyswap. This is, first and foremost, a Homestuck Swap! However, we’re planning on setting up a Hiveswap Polyswap later this year, and we want your opinions—full swap? Yearly miniswap? Let us know! We’ll be posting a poll soon enough to get feedback there.
On the Giveaway: Yes, we’re still planning to do this! There will be a post for you guys to reblog, and everyone who A. reblogs it, B. signs up for Polyswap, or C. signs up to be a Pinch Hitter will be counted for one entry. Multiple entries are a possibility! A winner will be drawn when the collection opens. People who last-minute default (without good reason) will not be eligible to win. Yarn types and shipping will be discussed with the winner.
On Incomplete Works: You have until the end of signups to get them in, or prove that they’re serialized! If neither is true, we won’t be able to accept your signup.
On the Schedule: We’re moving things up a little earlier this year (it’s almost a throwback to year one!) and we’re hoping that the shift allows for more freedom with signups for other fandom events. Without further ado:
April 21-May 7: Signups Open!
May 18: Assignments Given
May 20: Polyswap Presents Collection Created (open to Swappers who have completed their assignments and wish to double-gift)
June 11: Deadline to Default, Prompts Released
June 22: Assignments Due, Deadline for Pinch Hitter Sign Ups
June 29: Polyswap Prospit and Derse Collections open
July 6: Derse and Prospit Authors Revealed, Polyswap Presents Collection opens
July 9: Polyswap Presents Authors Revealed
