Thank you again everyone for taking part in the exchange and making so many wonderful works. I hope you have all enjoyed yourselves and our shared pining!

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately one of the previous pinch hit authors has not turned in their assignment, so it is going back up as an urgent pitch hit. Thankfully a very generous author has stepped in to help, but they will need some time to write so the reveals will be delayed until 20:00 BST tomorrow (21 August), or 24 hours from now.

I will also extend the author reveals date to be one week from the work reveals as planned, so this should happen on 28 August.

I'm very sorry to have to delay reveals again. I hope you're all enjoying the chance to do some pining of your own at least!

Hi everyone!

We have just under a day left for the deadline for post-deadline pinch hits (due at 10:00 BST (09:00 GMT / 05:00 EST / 02:00 PST) on Monday 19 August).

There are currently a couple of pinch hits waiting to be fulfilled and one emergency pinch hit that still needs to be claimed (details here) before the collection will open.

If you have been thinking of picking up this pinch hit or have started work for it, please let me know so I can add you as an official claim.

Hi all!

Just a reminder that there's just over two days left until the posting deadline for the outstanding pinch hits. I am willing to extend this deadline a little if needed, as I won't be opening the collection until all works are in.

We still have 5 pinch hits left without an author, so please do spread the word about the exchange and don't be afraid to pick one up if you can! It would be wonderful to get all of these claimed before the 15th at least.

The details of the pinch hits can be found here!

Thanks!

The deadline for posting gifts has now passed!

Thank you all for your hard work! I have now defaulted everyone who hasn't sent in their assignment. There will be a few post-deadline pinch hits, which I will try to get up in this comm asap.

Please let me know asap if you have any issues.

Hi pining fans!

Just a reminder that we are now just one day away from the posting deadline for all works! The deadline is 20:00 GMT on 10 August -- you can check how far away that is for you on the countdown here.

URGENT NOTE: there are still a few pinch hits outstanding. The collection will not be opened until everyone who has signed up and has completed their assignment has a gift. If nobody claims them by the deadline, or if there are any unfulfilled assignments once the deadline is reached, the opening of the collection will be delayed for post-deadline pinch hits to be fulfilled.

AVAILABLE PINCH HITS CAN BE FOUND HERE.

As a reminder: drafts cannot fulfil assignments and there will be no extensions offered on the deadline.

Please contact me via the screened mod post in this comm or by email if you have any problems or concerns.

EDIT: a new pinch hit has been added -- please do check the post again if you think you'd like to pick one up!

Hi everyone! Unfortunately, the course of matching doesn't always run smoothly. In the process of sorting out participants who do not have any matching recipients, another participant has ended up without a matching recip.

They have been emailed and as soon as I hear back from them regarding their offer, I will re-run matching and send out assignments. If this takes another day, I will extend the deadline for turning in gifts as well.

Thank you all for your patience, I hope you're not pining too much for the exchange to begin! <3
