The Holly Poly Exchange

The archive is no longer anonymous, so if you've been curious who wrote/drew a work that you enjoyed you can now go see who it was.

I wanted to thank everyone for your patience, and a special thanks to all of the pinch hitters. The exchange wouldn't have run nearly as smoothly without your help.

It's already been suggested that there be a pinned post here on Dreamwidth with the schedule next year, to make it easier for people to know what's supposed to happen when. If anyone has any other feedback or suggestions for other things that I should do differently next year, please either leave a comment in this post or send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com. I won't promise that I'll make significant changes, but I will definitely consider any suggestions that people have.

Also, as I mentioned previously, the archive will remain open for posting for those of you are need to post treats in order to participate in the next exchange. If you're creating additional gifts for that reason, or simply because you want to do so, please feel free to post them whenever you'd like. The archive will formally close just before the next exchange begins in the autumn.

The archive is officially live. If you haven't received an e-mail with a link to your gift yet, it should be coming shortly.

For those of you are need to post treats in order to participate in the next exchange, the archive will remain open for posting. If you're creating additional gifts for that reason, or simply because you want to do so, please feel free to post them whenever you'd like. The archive will formally close just before the next exchange begins much later in the year.

If there are any issues with your gift or anything else related to the exchange, please send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com letting me know.

I've been asked to delay opening the archive because it was unclear that, when it stated on the AO3 that the the archive would go live on January 18th as soon as everyone had a gift, that meant golive would be happening as early on the 18th as possible. Several people have said that they are still editing their assignments and aren't prepared for golive yet because of that misunderstanding.

Just to be clear: everyone has a gift at this point, so the archive can go live at any time.

It's currently past 2am for me, so I'm going to bed. If anyone feels strongly one way or the other regarding golive, please leave a comment. I'll make a decision once I've actually had a few hours of rest. I've received messages from people on both sides of the issue (asking me to delay opening the archive and asking me why the archive isn't live yet), and at the very least I'm willing to delay until midday to get an idea where the majority stand before making any decisions.

There are currently three claimed pinch hits that are all due by 11:59pm tonight. There hasn't been any indication that they won't be posted, so everything will hopefully be good on that front. That said, Pinch Hit #15 is still unclaimed. If you know anyone who might be willing to write for any of the requested fandoms, please point them towards this post.

Just to warn everyone now, there's a very good chance that the archive won't be going live as scheduled. The archive won't go live until everyone has a gift, so just how late it will open will depend on the last few pinch hits.

The final pinch hit has been claimed! I'll post an update on golive just as soon as I can.

All of the previous pinch hits have been claimed, but one that was previously claimed and due tonight is open again.

Please click the links for more details about the request. If you're interested in claiming any of these pinch hits, send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com with your AO3 name.

The deadline for the exchange is coming up in about 6 hours. Please see this link to find out when the exact deadline is in your timezone.

All pending pinch hits have been claimed, but I'm sure there will be some more over the next few days as the regular deadline, the extension deadline, and the more recent pinch hit deadlines pass. Also, as a reminder, I'm only allowing extensions of 24 hours this year. If you'll need one, send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com ASAP so that I'm not wondering where you've disappeared to when the deadline gets here.

Hi, everyone! The deadline for the exchange is coming up in about 60 hours at 11:59pm EST on January 13th, so hopefully everyone is getting close to having their assignments finished. Please see this link to find out when the deadline is in your timezone.

There have been several new defaults today, including that of some pinch hits that were previously picked up, so I'll be posting those shortly. If you think that you're going to have to default, please do so as soon as you can to give potential pinch hitters as much time as possible to write/draw/etc. Also remember that, as long as you default before the final deadline, you'll be able to participate in the exchange next year if you write a treat at some point.

On a related note, please remember that I'm only allowing extensions of 24 hours this year. If you'll need one, send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

This is just a reminder that the default deadline for Holly Poly is at 11:59pm EST on January 4th. A countdown can be found at this link if you want to see what time that would be in your time zone. If you've been having difficulty with your assignment or if life has gotten busier than expected, you have until Saturday to decide whether or not to default without any consequences.

The actual deadline for the exchange is in a little over two weeks at 11:59pm EST on January 13th. The countdown for it can be found here.
