The Queen's Thief fanworks exchange

Creators are revealed, but the comment forms are still open! Stop on by the archive if you want to see what people have made and leave them feedback.

This was the exchange's third year, and I'm glad to see it still going strong. That said, I personally can't commit to running it indefinitely.

I'm going to run it once more in spring/summer of 2019, to close things off after the last book. After that, if someone else wants to take it over, I'm willing to hand off ownership of the exchange. If someone is interested but doesn't have experience modding on AO3, I'd be happy to take them on as a comod to get some experience next year.

This is a small and low-stress exchange to mod, and it'd be an easy one to take on as your first exchange. You'd need to be able to:

• Set and enforce rules and deadlines
• Use the AO3 tagset and collection interface
• Respond to emails and comments in a timely way
• Post on both LJ and DW
• Review fic and art containing any sort of rating or content

There's plenty of time to work out a transition if someone is interested in doing so, so no need to respond right away. If you're interested, you can contact the exchange email at hamiathesmod@gmail.com.

We're currently on track to go live tomorrow, Saturday the 25th, at 10 PM EDT! What time is that for me?

The final pinch hit is covered but does have an extension. I'll post if there will be any delays to the archive opening.

We're past the deadline!

A few people requested extensions, so if you don't have a gift work yet, don't panic. :)

We also have two pinch hits. These are due at 10 PM, EDT, on Thursday, August 23rd.

To claim these pinch hits, please comment with the number you're taking, your AO3 name, and an email address where I can reach you. All comments to this post are screened to preserve anonymity. If you don't have an AO3 name but can fulfill this request, just let me know--we can work that out!

Pinch Hit #1 is covered!

( Pinch Hit #2 - Costis/Kamet (Fanfiction), Godekker (Fanfiction) )

This is your weekly notification that assignments are due on Saturday, August 19th, at 10 PM EDT.

Reminders:

• As always, let me know right away if you need to default or if you have any questions or concerns. My gmail for the exchange is hamiathesmod.
• If you want to offer or request beta services, check out the Beta Post!

Good luck!

Hello, everyone! We're about two weeks in and four weeks from the deadline. Your assignments are due on Saturday, August 18th, at 10 PM EDT.

A few notes:

Whether or not you're signed up for the exchange, you're welcome to post gifts, or extra treats! I've compiled the list of requests in this spreadsheet for easy filtering and searching. To send someone a treat, post it on AO3 to the Hamiathes' Gift Exchange 2018 collection--you can use the "Post to Collection" button on the top right--and enter their AO3 name precisely as it appears on the spreadsheet in the "Gift this work to" field.

If you're interested in reviewing fanworks and providing feedback, or if you're looking for someone to review your assignment, check out the Beta Post! To be sure all the beta offers are in one place, I'm only making this post on Dreamwidth, but you don't need a Dreamwidth account to comment.

Pinch hits will go up here at Dreamwidth as soon as anyone defaults on their assignment, and I'll post announcements to Livejournal and Tumblr. If you do need to default, please do so as early as possible so there's plenty of time to find someone to cover the the assignment.

Have fun, all!

If you signed up for the exchange, you should have received an email notifying you of your assignment. If you don't see it, check your spam folder--if that doesn't work, let me know!

Please contact me privately via gmail at hamiathesmod if you have any questions or concerns about your assignment. If you want to ask your recipient for any clarification or additional detail, I can send along your questions anonymously.

All assignments are due at 10 PM EDT on Saturday, August 18th. What time is that for me?

All right, everyone, nominations are closed, the tag set is finalized, and signups are open! If you've done a Yuletide-style exchange on AO3 before, the process should be pretty similar. If you haven't, have a look at the explanation and examples below, check out the FAQ and rules on AO3, and let me know if you have questions!

Also, please spread the word--the more, the merrier.

The signup link is here!

Quick points:

• Signups are open until Sunday, July 8th
• You'll need an AO3 account to sign up. You can request one here if you don't already have one. The wait list is currently at about 9 days, which should give you just enough time, but if you want to be sure I do have an extra code.
• Please read the rules before signing up so you know what you're agreeing to do

The tag set is here. This is the full list of nominated characters and relationships you can choose from when offering and requesting fanwork. Click "expand all" to see everyone.

Hi, all! Amid the general excitement over book 6 news, a couple of announcements on tag set nominations.

First, if you want to participate in the fanfiction and fanart exchange, you'll need an AO3 account. You can request one here. The waiting period is currently just over a week, which means you'll be too late for nominations but in time to sign up for the exchange. I do have one extra invitation I can send if you want an invite sooner than that, and others may have some available, too--leave a comment if you need one!

Second, just a reminder that nominations will close on June 28th at 10 PM EDT! You can see the tag set here and make nominations here.

Third, I've been asked if I'll allow more specific worldbuilding nominations, such as Worldbuilding: Songs about Ennikar & Immakuk. I'm happy to allow this, so feel free to include those nominations!

Finally, to whoever has an unapproved nomination for Relationship: Eugenides/Irene, this has already been approved as the tag Relationship: Attolia/Eugenides. I've left your nomination unapproved so you can change it to something else if you want.

Hi, all! The third annual fanfiction and fanart exchange will be kicking off shortly. Here’s my proposed schedule:

• Character and relationship nominations: June 19th through the 28th at 10 PM EDT
• Signups: June 29th through July 8th, closing at 10 PM EDT
• Assignments sent out: July 10th at the latest
• Fanworks due: August 18th at 10 PM EDT
• Fanworks revealed: August 25th at 10 PM EDT
• Artists/authors revealed: September 1st at 10 PM EDT

I'm not planning to make any changes to the process this year. You can review how everything works at the FAQ.

If you have any questions, please leave them in responses here or at the Dreamwidth account, or you can email me at hamiathesmod at gmail.

Links of interest:

Exchange on AO3 | Announcements at Tumblr | Exchange on LJ

Stories and art are revealed! You can read and view them here.

Stop by, enjoy, and don't forget to leave feedback. We have over 30 fanworks this year!

If you signed up for the exchange, you should be getting an email with a link to your gift. You can also find it by opening your AO3 page and following the Gifts link in the left-hand navigation pane on the left. Please remember to show your author or artist lots of appreciation!

Fanworks will remain anonymous until Saturday, September 2nd. However, if you'd like to reply to comments on the stories or art you posted, you can go ahead--your name will be hidden until then.

I will be leaving the collection open for last-minute treats in the meantime.
