Feedback post & poll

That's it,  the exchange is over, everything has been posted. A masterlist has been compiled [Poll #1796008][Poll #1796009][Poll #1796010]

Since this is the first time I've organised an exchange, some feedback about what you liked or disliked would be nice. Did you dislike anything about the organisation? About the sign-up form? About the posting schedule? About the way I generally ran things? Just let me know. I'm not saying that I will agree with every suggestion, but I definitely want to hear and think about them. ^^ Feel also free to leave any other sort of feedback on the exchange, if it made you discover new pairings, if you want to tell people about your favourite fic/art, whatever.

Oh, and one last question: depending on how much time will pass until the next exchange, would you be interested in participating in a kinkmeme or commentfics or writing challenges here on this comm to tide us over until the next exchange? I'm just asking because I wouldn't mind organising something, but there's no point to it if nobody wants to participate anyway.

I'd be all for challenges, especially a kinkmeme, as [livejournal.com profile] robellion has been dead for some time.

Positive feedback- The signup forms were the most complete of any exchange that I've seen, especially the option to list who we'd prefer to write about. That definitely helps to pair gifter/giftee up, especially if someone wants something eclectic.

My biggest problem with a kink meme is it makes stalking so hard. They're usually anonymous and then someone goes and fills something beautifully, and I have no idea whose journal to stalk because the fill was anonymous.

This is a good point! Seconded.

This is true (I've been frustrated over at Dreamwidth w/this recently). Maybe just a general prompt meme with an "anything goes" option would be fun.

No, I appreciate the attention to detail. I was nervous on the other exchange because it wasn't as thorough (but it did work out).

You could always just have an anonymous kink meme but assign numbers for names? That way people who are really desperate to stalk can see a number cross-reference list, or could send a PM via the mod asking if the person's willing to have their name released?

That would work out the "anonymous" issue but unfortunately I do agree that there's no way to guarantee participation on a kinkmeme. :( Course the upside to that is it can pretty much go on indefinitely as just a single post on the comm.

Of course that is also a lot of work for the mod. :(

Maybe we could make a "special" exchange. All kinki stuff. Then again I can't write kinky stuff. I barely can't write anything in english let alone smut.

I'd be all for an All-Bolton exchange, but we know THAT'S never going to happen. :P

[identity profile] sternflammenden.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true. All of the prompts would be: Roose/Walda: cute fluffy stuff or Roose/whoever: creepy!hot sex. Do not want: RAMSAY. :)

I'd join a Stannis community!

Tumblr seems more the place for that though. I mean, [livejournal.com profile] angerfish and [livejournal.com profile] jesatria run the hilarious fuckyeahboltons over there, which seems to have a devoted following, so why not a fuckyeahstannis one of these days?

The thing that is so annoying about tumblr is the lack of comment functionality. I don't want to reblog a huge exchange just to type a sentence. Maybe when the next GOT season starts, and there are graphics of Stannis/Davos, it could work like the Bolton one, which is mostly pictures anyway.

I don't think that this is unreasonable - there were a lot of Stannis/Davos fans (comparatively) here this time around.

You know that I want to request nothing but Boltons, but I just can't do that to you. :) I'll keep 2 slots for my non-creepy ships, but next time...

I'll advertise this comm on my tumblr and LJ tonight. Peer pressure!

I will harass my fellow creepers as well. :)
