Poll result

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

The poll result wasn't quite as clear as last time, but there were still 40% for 'right away' vs. 26% for sign-ups in mid-November. Since the second option is pretty much the worst one from a modly perspective (because I can already imagine all the family- and Christmas-related drop-outs at the last minute if the deadline is during everyone's Christmas vacation), we'll go with 'right away'.  I'm aware that December is a very busy time for everyone, but I'm sure there will be another exchange early next year for all those of you who won't be able to participate now.

That means that I'll post the sign-up post tonight, and leave it open until Friday next week (October 26th).
The assignments will be sent out on October 28th.
The deadline will be on Sunday, December 16th.
Posting will start on Monday, December 17th.

Because there are always people asking me on Friday night if they can still sign up: the sign-ups are open until I put a big red "sign-ups are closed" on the post. Until then you can still sign up, even if it's technically already Saturday wherever you live.

If there are any questions or problems, feel free to comment here or send me a message.

This is an obsessive community full of obsessive people run by an obsessive mod, bwahaha. ^^

I mean I know people have ~lives~ and things, but I feel like there's always enough time allocated to write and enough time where the fics are posted that when the poll comes up, to me it's basically DO YOU WANT PRESENTS NOW OR DO YOU WANT PRESENTS LATER?

And it's like DUH LOL I ALWAYS PICK NOW. XD

What is this "life" thing? ;) I usually just assume that it's best to do it as soon as possible if enough people want to, and whoever doesn't have time can just wait a couple of months for the next round. And I guess the polls usually show that at least some people agree with me. ;)

Your logic makes sense, too, though. PRESENTS NAO. Well, presents in two months, but whatever.

Yay! Can't wait, hopefully there will be a prompt I can fill, I usually do Sansan fic :D

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I usually manage to figure something out for everyone when I do the assignments. :) But it does help if you can write more than just one pairing. :)

[little-feather.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm trying to branch out-but I'm new to fanfic so I'm working on it lol! Arya/Gendry or Jon/Ygritte is a possiblity, I think...:)

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it won't be a problem. :) I'm currently writing the sign-up post, it should be up soon.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm excited. Now to think up some prompts that you won't hate me for requesting. :P

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

When in doubt, there's always someone worse than you. ;) I'm still torn between requesting tons of Stannis or tons of Greyjoys.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I think mine will be a Greyjoy party, with some Greenlander antagonists thrown in for relief.

Tons of Victarion. Because everything's better with Vic.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Greyjoy parties are the best parties. :D

Between signups for this and yuletide I feel like it's freakin Christmas. Must think up some different prompts.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

It kinda is like Christmas. You'll get presents, but you also have to find presents for other people. ;)
Thinking up prompts is always hard.

eeee I'm so excited, last round was so much fun! you = best mod ever <3

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :DD And I'm happy to hear you're excited for the next round.
