One sleep to go...

[sundial_exchange_mod]

There are only a few more hours until the Sundial Exchange goes live! At the time I'm writing this post, we have 152 works in the collection, which is well over double last year's total! (If you're having a hard time waiting, there's still time to add a few more treats...)

The collection will go live on Friday 12th February at around 11 AM GMT. There will be an announcement both on dreamwidth and on twitter to let you know when it's happened.

This year we need to give special shout-outs to our pinch-hitters wrote_and_writ, laireshi and trickytricky, as well as naye, tinypinkmouse and rlyqueer who have each made a frankly amazing number of treats for other participants! And a big thank-you also to everyone who's been working hard to follow our accessibility guidelines to make this exchange as welcoming as possible for the widest number of fans. We also know that AO3 isn't the easiest place to post non-fanfic works to, and really appreciate the efforts of our creators across many different mediums.

Creators, we recommend that after the collection opens you go into the editing pane for your work and set the posting date to the 12th February. This makes your work more visible to people looking at the chronological AO3 fandom page.

When you open your gift, please remember to leave a comment. Your creator worked hard to make something just for you and will be very happy to know that you appreciate their efforts. We also encourage everyone to leave kudos and comments to fellow participants and spread the love.

As a note, if your specific gift differs from what you were hoping to receive, please resist expressing disappointment to your creator or where it could potentially get back to them. The simplest "thank you for making this" can go a long way, and there is such a huge range of fanworks to explore in the collection that there will certainly be something lovely for everyone to enjoy.

(If you have a serious issue with your gift - that is, if it contains one of your DNWs, is personally offensive, or is in a format that you asked not to receive, please contact the mods privately and we will help you.)

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the second Sundial Exchange even better than the first one! And remember that the collection will stay open to treats until March the 12th!

Thanks so much for all your hard work, mods! This was one of the best-run exchanges I've been part of and I've totally enjoyed it. I can't wait until tomorrow to see all the new creations!
