sundial_exchangeWe hope things are going well with your creating! If you need support/resources, here is the cheerleader and beta post. Feel free to ask there for encouragement or other help! 🥰
Since assignments are due February 5th, we've already reached the mid-point of this exchange and need you to check in. Please reply to this post (open for non-Dreamwidth users as well - just make sure to include your AO3 name in the check-in) and answer the following questions:
AO3 name:
Are you still participating? Yes/No
(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: if you are excited, worried, have barely started, finished 4 different works, tried something new - share the feels and let's encourage each other! 🥳
Please copy and paste the following code into your comment:
Do you need to drop out?
No worries, life happens! Especially this year. Please let us know either here on this post or email us at sundial.exchange@gmail.com. Don't feel bad; the earlier we know, the easier it is for us to find pinch hitters!
Have you already finished your gift fanwork?
Awesome! We've created an Archive Of Our Own collection for this exchange which can be found here: Sundial_Exchange_LNY_2021. Click on "post to collection" to add your work, or check out this tutorial for more detailed instructions. Works submitted will not be revealed to the public until Lunar New Year on the 12th of February. Treats can be submitted to the AO3 collection in the same way.
NB: We are committed to being an accessible exchange. Vids and gifs must include content notes for flashy effects; here is some info on how to make light transitions more photosensitive-friendly in gifs and vids. All text must be able to be read by a screen reader. Alt-text must be provided for texts in PDF and for images, and loud spikes in noise must be denoted for audio. Here is a link to more info about how to write good alt text.
If you need to create an AO3 account and don't have an invite or if you encounter posting problems, please get in touch so we can help!
Please note that if you haven't checked-in with us in any way by January 10th we will consider it as a drop-out and will send your assignment out to pinch hitters.
Thank you so much for being part of the exchange and happy creating!

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: I have the whole thing planned out. I did start writing, but I've realised that I started writing the story at completely the wrong place, and I need to scrap what I've done and start again about three scenes later. Oh well. At least I still know what I'm writing....

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: It's too goddamn long. I have a wordcount-per-day plan for the rest of the exchange (with some leeway for beta), but I'm not sure I'll manage to stick to it. However, if I realize that the current project is too ambitious, after all, I have some fallback ideas that I'll be able to do instead. Wish me luck!

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: So I've meticulously planned what is happening in almost every scene, I have done all the research (read a lot, watched a lot of vids... research, not procrastination i swear), but have had trouble with the timeline/progression. but i'm figuring it out and the idea for the whole thing is coming together! and it'll be long, like, reaaaaalllyyyy long. probably well over 50k words. starting to think that i might have to split it into 2 parts and only have the 1st part done in time for assignment submission....

Tell us something about your work so far: My first draft is done and with my beta. The relationship dynamics in my story are a "first" for me in terms of what I've previously written and I really enjoyed exploring something a little bit different.

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: I'm pretty excited about it, maybe so much because I have it part in english, spanglish and spanish ^^, it's the sad thing of not be writing too much in a language.
I'm learning many things and it's a shame that I can not master the skill necessary to do this how I want it but it looks almost how I want it. I really hope they like it!~<3

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: I'm already done with the outlines and I've started colouring. I might also write a short fic as a companion piece, but I'm really swamped with work, so I don't know if that will work out

(Optional) Tell us something about your work so far: My recipient is a wonderful match and I have *too many ideas*. Which is a great problem to have. I also got inspired a lot by people’s Dear creator Letters and started on a bunch of unusual Treats, which is very shiny and distracting. I’m having fun learning new things and trying things out! Not sure about final results but the processes so far have been good experiences. There’s things with words, things with animation, things with strings, and things with trees. I am curious as to whether I can code something up?? But I’ve never done that either. (It’s a theme!)
Looking forward to everyone’s things!
