Feedback post and poll

The last entry of round three was posted today. You can find the masterlist [Poll #1852716]

Two more questions: do you want me to post a list of unfilled prompts like the last two times? I'm willing to do it, but I was under the impression that nobody really cared last time. Let me know if you want it.

Second: after the first two exchange rounds we had a comment fic meme here on this comm. Back then there was no very active kinkmeme yet, but now that there is one ... do you still want to do this? I'd love to have another because the last two were so much fun, but nothing is sadder than a fic meme in which nobody participates. So, comment fic meme yes or no?

Firstly, thanks for organizing, great exchange! :)

I just have one minor feedback to give, and that's not even something one can do anything about it. I thought that the prompts and requests in general were very fic centric and not very fanart friendly, so as a fanartist that's a bit difficult or sad. But well, if people generally prefer to receive fic, it's ok I guess. Still it would be nice to have more fanartists to participate and more fanart requests in general :)

Otherwise, all great :)

Thank you. :)

Well, of course I can't make more fanartists participate or force people to ask for fanart, but what I can do is ask people who say that they would like either fic or art to give me both fic and art prompts. Rather than only fic prompts with an "oh I like art too" add-on. Would that help?

Thank you to our mod-with-the-mostest for running such a fabulous exchange! :D I, of course, voted 'right away'. XD July and early August are my slowest times at work, so I'd have time to work on an exchange! (Plus, I'm greedy - I want more shiny things for my own, as well!)

I don't think it's necessary to post a list of unfilled prompts, personally. Thinking back to my sign-up, some I'll want to reprompt next time and some I'll want to dump for ideas I thought of that I like better. XD The kink meme is on a Fill week this week, so if you started a comment meme sometime this week I'm sure there'd be some action, especially since not everyone who does the exchange is over at the kink meme. I would DEFINITELY check it out, though I'm having a bit of a slow month writing wise. So I vote no to unfilled prompts, yes to comment meme, in short.

It makes me so happy when people are that enthusiastic. ^^

I used to do the unfilled prompt list because I felt it was such a pity that all these great prompts would just be forgotten, but it's an awful lot of work if no one cares. So I guess I won't do it anymore unless someone absolutely wants it.
I'm glad there's interest in a comment fic meme. I guess I'll post that tomorrow or so. :)

Ok, one counsel for next time: send the fics to the giftees at the beginning. Still ok to post one a day to the comm, but it's unfair that certain people get theirs in the first few days and others only at the end.

When will the comment fic meme begin? Screw the kinkmeme, it has thousands of comments, who has time to even read them through? Ours is better.

Mhm, that kind of defeats the whole waiting&surprise purpose, though, no? I know it sucked for you because you got your fic very late this exchange and in the last one, I usually try to have some variation there, but unfortunately both this and last time your writer disappeared at the last minute and I had to find a pinch hitter. :/ Maybe if two fics are posted a day, so the waiting time would be less long? I could see if that's possible.

I'd be all for thousands of comments on our comment fic meme, I'm jealous of the big kinkmeme. ;) I guess I'll post it tomorrow or so.

I think that it would be nice to have a comment fic meme over here. Like juno_chan said, the kink meme isn't posting this week and it seems like there has been such a huge response in the past.

I'm probably going to have to take a hiatus on the next exchange, but no feedback other than the fact that this was amazing, well-run and well-organized as always.

I thought so, too, I was just afraid that I'd post it and everybody would ignore it, and that would have been sad.

Thanks. :) I'm sad to hear you'll sit out the next round, but I get it, these things can be kind of stressful.

This was excellent, as always.

My only suggestion would be to post multiple gifts a day, especially if there are so many participants.

Thank you.

I actually considered that when I saw the number of participants, but the main reason I didn't do it is because of the pinch hits. If I post more fics a day, the general posting time is shorter and I'll have to find pinch hits who can write something in one week or so. I'm not sure how many people would be willing to do that. And I don't really want to have a two-week-break between the deadline and the beginning of posting like asoiaf-exchange.

I just wanted to say thank you for running the exchange! As a first time participant I was a tad nervous going in (it's always a bit frightening to wade into a new fandom, I think), but this was such a positive experience and the exchange was extremely well run. I'm looking forward to the next round! <3

Thank you so much. :) I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed participating.

I'm sorry for dropping out, and I don't think I'll sign up for the next exchange (since my creativity was lost somewhere beyond the Wall, alas), but I just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with the friendly, organized way you're running this exchange. \0/

Thank you. :) Don't worry about it. You dropped out in the most social, friendly way possible, contacting me weeks before the deadline. There's nothing wrong with that. But there were other people who told me on the day of the deadline that they needed another week to finish their fic and then I never heard from them again. That's just so selfish and dickish towards both the person they were supposed to write for and the pinch hitter who doesn't have much time to write something instead.

Can I just say... YOU ARE AWESOME AT MODDING! Seriously, love your friendliness and support, especially when I'm... *cough*... late ^_^

I'm all for the comment fic meme :D

Thank you so much. :) After all I want people to enjoy participating, so I'm happy that I'm apparently not a horrible mod who drives people away. ;)

Yay! That's great.

My congrats to you for another great exchange! I voted right away, because it was a lot of fun :D

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) It does look like a lot of people want the next round asap (or just have lots of free time in summer ;)).

As someone new to the fandom. I'm all about getting this up and running again. I plan on participating next round (right after I leave comments on all the amazing fic here.) ;)

Great, new participants are of course always welcome. :D (So are comments, obviously. ;))

Thanks for running the exchange again! I haven't even had time to read stuff this time around, but hopefully I can take part in the next challenge, depending on my schedule! It's always fun :)

It'd be great to have you around again. I hope you can find the time. :)

Thank you for running such an awesome exchange and being a super friendly mod to deal with.

I don't think the unfilled prompts need to be posted but then I am someone who reuses my unused prompts because I find writing sign up's where I hopefully give enough information about what I want without being overly specific and off putting (still not quite sure I manage) quite difficult.

I have never yet successfully filled a comment fic meme prompt and I have started MANY but I would probably have a go if you posted one and might actually get one out this time because it wouldn't move as fast as the kink meme!

I voted for right away though because I am taking less uni credits over the summer and therefore this makes me think I have more free time even though I work full time haha. But I like that signing up makes me write fic when mostly I just have grand plans to do so and then don't. :)

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the exchange.

Yes, it does seem like the list of unfilled prompts is unnecessary after all.

The last two times the comment fic meme here was a LOT slower than the big kinkmeme. I think we didn't even have 1000 comments until the meme died, so it's a lot calmer, yes. It'd be great to have you there. :)

I thought that many people have more time over the summer than they had during the last exchange (I think it was exam time for students in many countries). I'm happy that people stay so enthusiastic about the exchange. :D

I tend to be on the slow writer side. So I'm still working on kinkmeme prompts from round 8. If a comment exchange is a bit slower here. I'd be tempted to participate.

Sure. And I don't think anyone will complain if they get a fill for one of their prompts a bit later and not after one day. ;)

Thank you so much for running this! It was a lot of fun.

A comment fic meme sounds wonderful. The kink meme is on hiatus for a week anyway.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Comment fic meme will be posted tomorrow or so.

This exchange was so, so great. As a first-time gifter/giftee, I felt very well-cared-for by you, O Wonderful Mod, and I'm SO impressed by the quality of work that's come out of this round. Really amazing, all.

And YES to comment fic meme! I had a blast with it the last time. :D

Thank you, I'm always happy to hear that people enjoyed participating. And I agree, the quality of the work is always amazing. Some people just write mind-blowing things (your fic was one of my favourites, btw).

Yay!

You have been, as ever, a spectacular mod, Linn.

I look forward to playing at the commentfic meme and participating in the next round of the exchange. I'll even try to get my fic written by the deadline. (;

Thank you, my dear Lady Hand. I might ask you again to help me stay sane next time I do the assignments. ;) ~~I won't even make myself write for you again next time. ;)~~

I'm looking forward to whatever you'll write for the fic meme. And you getting your fic written by the deadline? I'll believe that when I see it. ;P

Great organization as usual. It goes so smoothly every time, I'm still amazed ^^.

I would still love a comment fic meme here. The more the better.

For once, I answered "right away". Which is crazy but well ლ(= з = )ლ ~♥

Thank you. :D

I'm happy to hear that. All of it. ;)

thank you once again for organizing this entire thing, this round was just as flawless as all the others <333

I'm so glad I seem to be in the majority in wanting the next round to begin right away :p

Thank you. :)

Haha, yes, I'm happy about that, too. I'll wait another day or two for more votes, but it sounds like people are really motivated (or just bored because they're on holidays ;)).

Overall I really enjoyed this exchange, and it was the first time I had participated in something like it. A HUGE thanks to you for being a wonderful mod and coordinating everything. I can't even imagine all the time it took, but in the end it was worth it for the quality of the fics written for this was very high. I'm fine with the next exchange starting right away or later in August/September. At least this time I (and others) won't have exams around the same time as the exchange deadline!

Definitely post a comment fic meme, as the asoiafkinkmeme has become maaaaasive. I think there'd be enough interest.

I should thank you for that absolutely amazing fic you wrote for me. It was so much more than I had ever hoped, and I'm happy you're going to participate again. Whoever you'll be writing for next time is very lucky. :)
I know, the last months were a busy time for many people (myself included), and I hope this summer exchange will be less stressful for everyone.

I'm happy to hear that. Will post it tomorrow, I think.

Thanks for running such a great fest ♥

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. :)

YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT MOD, OMG. I was a bit worried, since it's been a while since I've done an exchange, but you were so well organized and on top of everything. I'm seriously impressed. :D

That said, I would be all over a comment meme. Like, plastered to it.

Thank you so much. :) It's really great to hear that.

All that enthusiasm for the fic meme is making me happy. I'll post it some time tomorrow. :)

I want to participate, but right now, my father is ill and I'm not sure if I can. I will be in touch with you.

Okay. I hope your father will get better soon.
