Creators Reveal and Wrap up

clachnabenHi everyone,
We revealed all creators yesterday, at the collection on the ao3 here, bringing the final part of the exchange to a close.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Personally, I loved reading every one of the fics that the exchange produced, and we're so grateful you participated. We're especially thankful to our pinch hitters who stepped in at the last moment to make sure everyone who signed up received a gift, but thank you so much to everyone!
I'd also like to say a special thanks toeledhwenlin and growlery. Just because the posts are from me doesn't mean I was alone! They were fantastic fellow mods to work with and helped make this exchange so great!
We'd really appreciate if you could give us any feedback on how the exchange was for you. We hope to run more versions in the future, so if you participated, thought about participating, or have any thoughts, please take a moment to give us some feedback on this anonymous google form.
Thank you again, and see you in a future edition!

Apr. 10th, 2021 02:43 pmclachnabenWe have revealed all the shiny new KJ Charles fics in our collection! Check out your gift, or just have a peruse and let all the wonderful writers know you enjoyed their fic!

Have a read of the collection here.
Thanks to our pinch hitters who made revealing today possible, and everyone who participated. We'll do a proper closee off when works de-anon, but this particular mod is excited to get reading and commenting.

Pinch Hitters
Apr. 6th, 2021 10:47 amclachnabenHi everyone,
We are in need of two pinch hits for the exchange. Pinch hitters are wonderful people who help us get gifts to recipients whose creators have had to drop out of the exchange. If you think you can create 1,000 words of fic by midnight on the 9th of April, you could be one of these wonderful people! People have to drop out for all kinds of reasons, so pinch hitting allows us to make sure everyone still gets a great KJ Charles fanwork.
The two pinch hits we are looking for is
1. Fic for Any Old Diamonds
2. Fic for Band Sinister OR Green Men OR The Will Darling Adventures
If you think you could fufill either of these, please email us at kjcharlesxchange@gmail.com with your AO3 pseud and we can assign you the pinch hit. If you want more details before committing, like knowing what the request includes, please drop us an email and we'd be happy to share.

Deadline Reminder
Apr. 3rd, 2021 03:51 pmclachnabenHi everyone! A quick reminder that today is the deadline for submitting your work to the collection here. As long as it's the 3rd anywhere in the world, you're still on time.
A couple of people have arranged extensions - if you've been in touch about one, you should know your arranged deadline, which will be different. If you haven't been in touch, but are having trouble with the deadline, please get in touch here or at our email kjcharlesxchange@gmail.com and we'll work something out.
We have a couple of pinch hits and extensions working their way through, so we're still planning to reveal the works (on anon) on the 10th of April. We're very excited!
(The exchange is also open for treats, if you're interested in making any!)

FAQ
What are treats?
Treats are gift works added to the collection without being assigned as part of the exchange, just because you’re inspired by what someone’s requested. Anyone is free to create treats based off those shared details. We won’t be otherwise compiling details for treats.
Treats will be posted to the same collection as assigned works, and have the same due date. No check-in is required for treats. The same content rules that apply to assigned works also apply to treats, but there is no minimum length.
How do I make a treat?
If you see something in the comments below that you like, get creating! The only deadline you need to remember is April 3rd when all works are due. Make sure you add your work to the collection before that date, as a gift work for your recipient, and your work as a fanwork fairy godperson is complete!

clachnabenFAQ
What is this exchange?
This is a multifandom exchange for fanworks based in the universes of books written by KJ Charles.
How do I participate?
You need an AO3 account to sign up for the exchange here.
How can I contact the mods?
You can email us at kjcharlesxchange@gmail.com, ask us a question on tumblr, or comment with a question on this post.
Are crossovers allowed?
Crossovers between K. J. Charles fandoms are allowed, but crossovers with non-K. J. Charles fandoms are not. You can indicate in your sign up that you would like a crossover, but should also be prepared to receive a gift that only uses one fandom, as you may be matched with someone who did not offer both fandoms. “Fusions” that place the K. J. Charles characters in another universe are allowed, but should primarily focus on characters from a K. J. Charles fandom.
Obviously the K. J. Charles “universe” includes some natural crossovers, where characters from other books are mentioned in series where they are not the main focus. You can indicate you would like these “non-central” characters included, but if your gifter did not offer the originating fandom you may receive a gift that only deals with the “central” book characters. If you have any questions as a requester or a gifter, please get in touch with your mods.
Original characters?
You may not make original characters the central characters of your fanwork. Please don’t request original characters as main characters, or create a fanwork featuring only OCs. OCs can, of course, be used as characters in fanworks that include existing KJ Charles characters, but the fanwork should primarily focus on existing K. J. Charles characters.
What about kidfic?
As long as the work also focuses on existing K. J. Charles characters, please feel free to make your child character an OC. This doesn't forbid OCs at all, just precludes situations where all the characters are OCs, or the appearance of KJ Charles characters is only in the background.
How are DNWs (Do Not Wants) treated?
Recipients can indicate their strict DNWs in their sign up, which gifters must observe. If you’re a gifter and you don’t understand your recipients' DNWs, or want some clarity, you can contact the mods. If you’re a recipient and you receive something that ignores your DNWs, contact your mods as soon as possible and we will arrange a pinch hit for you.
How will treats work?
There will be a dreamwidth post where participants can comment with the details of their sign ups & Dear Creator letters, and anyone is free to create treats based off those shared details. We won’t be otherwise compiling details for treats.
Treats will be posted to the same collection as assigned works, and have the same due date. No check-in is required for treats. The same content rules that apply to assigned works also apply to treats, but there is no minimum word count or time limit.
What about the new book?
We will not be matching on the new book, and you won't be able to request or offer it. However, you will be able to include it in any treat requests, and we'd encourage people to use the treats post on dreamwidth to connect with people interested in creating for the new book.
What if I hate my assignment/realise I can't complete my assignment/accidentally become embroiled in a high-stakes murder mystery over the inheritance of a noble family and am too busy trying to find the twins at the centre of the mystery?
