Reveals Reminder!
The exchange is on track to reveal on August 23rd at 11:59PM EDT (countdown)! Remember to finish up any edits and update any placeholder titles before reveals!
The collection will be closing an hour before reveals to hopefully avoid any reveals bugs. The collection will reopen for posting after reveals but will remain moderated until creator reveals (I'll try to accept any late treats quickly, but this does mean that that for treats posted after reveals there will likely be a period of time where they're visible but not yet accepted into the exchange collection).
Reading Lists
This year we're going to do something called "Reading Lists" from August 26th to August 29th! These are intended as an alternative way to browse the collection, spread out over several days with all the works in the exchange included*. The lists will include title, summary, and tag information for each work as it appears on AO3 after reveals. If any late treats are posted during the anonymous period I'll also do a roundup of those at the end!
For this year we're going to stay simple and split the reading lists by AO3's top level categories like "Anime & Manga" or "Video Games", and then by medium of the gift within those categories.
I may take some liberties with the categories to do things like make up some categories for "Other Media" or split Cartoons out from Comics, but I won't know for sure until I'm sitting down with the final works list and their tagged fandoms. Overall the categories will be set based on what fandoms are tagged on each work and how AO3 categorizes them, or my best guess at where they should be if they're Uncategorized or multi-category.
*I'm aware that sometimes creators prefer to opt out of being included in these sorts of lists! If you would prefer your works not be included in the reading lists please reply to this post (screening is on) letting me know your AO3 name and which work(s) of yours you'd like excluded.
