Holly Poly 2018: Dates

[settiai]

Thank you everyone for all of your feedback, both on the last post and via private messages. The majority of people wanted to keep the timeline similar to previous ones, so that is what we will be doing. There have been a few changes (shortening certain periods, lengthening others, and pushing the golive back slightly to give more time for last minute pinch-hits to be taken care of), but overall the schedule is not extremely different from previous years.

Here is the planned schedule for this year:


Dates:

All deadlines are for 11:59pm EDT/EST. The exact time for golive will depend on last-minute pinch hits and the like.

30 September - 14 October: Nominations are open.
18-28 October: Signups are open.
31 October: Assignments will be sent out no later than this date.
13 January: Fanworks are due.
18 January: The archive goes live (as soon as everyone has a gift).
25 January: Creators revealed


The FAQs for this year's exchange have also been updated. Please let me know if anything is unclear, or if there is anything listed there that you feel should be changed or updated.

The specific question, throughout the comments on this post, has been whether something *that is consciously defined by reader and writer as not being consensual* belongs in this exchange.

For the purposes of the rules this year, then answer to this is "yes." People are free to request whatever they would like in regards to relationships, as long as they understand that optional details are optional and the person who is creating a fanwork for them is free to ignore that aspect of the request.
