Two Days to Deadline!

[maythe4th]

This is not a drill. Assignments are due by midnight UTC, Friday April 28th. Countdown! As a reminder, AO3's servers are notoriously robust. Post early if you can, and if you can't upload, please email your finished work to the mods at maythe4thmod@gmail.com. Due to the deadline extension, no further extensions will be given.

If you decide to default, doing so earlier gives us more time to find a pinch hitter. Someone defaulted today from last year's exchange rather than this year's, so be sure to pay attention to which assignment you're fulfilling or defaulting on.

PLEASE CHECK IF YOU LEFT YOUR WORK IN "DRAFT" FORM! Items in "Draft" status can't be viewed by the mods or anyone else, and at deadline you will be marked as defaulted! We have three works no one can see in the collection right now.

Check out the treats and challenges spreadsheet. We've already hit several challenge goals!

To give a treat did you have to be part of the exchange?

[maythe4th]

Nope. There is already a treat posted from someone not signed up as a participant. Simply go to the dashboard of the 2017 collection and hit "Post to Collection," then fill in as normal!

Is there a min. word count for treats or is the same required length as the regular assignments? Id there a due date?

[maythe4th]

Treats are treats. Any size is fine. The archive will remain open for posting after reveals. Any time is fine.

[mahmfic]

Can we submit more than one treat to the same person?

Also is it assumed that if the person who signed up did not leave an author letter or prompts in the sign up form then anything goes for creating something for them?

Is there a maximum​ of 3 treats per person?

[maythe4th]

You can submit as many treats as you want to as many people as you want. The more the merrier! The treat tracker is to let others know who doesn't have a gift or treat, for people who like to create based on that. The challenge tracker is for people who prefer to create with a goal in mind.

We have a letters post in addition to the letters in signups: http://maythe4thbewithyou.dreamwidth.org/10762.html

In response to your question, I would say use the Rule of Wheaton. Don't be a dick. If someone requested poly incest gangbangs in other places, and writes noncon a lot, they will probably appreciate more of the same, while someone who only reads and writes and requests fluffy gen would not. Use your best judgement, and should you have a prompt you really want to fill but aren't sure of the reception because of the subject matter, you can put the maythe4thmod account as the recipient.

*nods* Awesome! Thank you so much with all of your help.

I think my gift total is wrong on the treat spreadsheet...unless a work isn't showing up on my gift page for whatever reason. Would it be best to reach out to the mod email?
