LADYSTUCK

Hey!

I had meant to put up an announcement about this, but Karen and I no longer have the time to run a major exchange. We meant to look for some helper mods/mods-in-training to handle the day-to-day work of Ladystuck, but that … didn’t happen.

We might as well do it now. If you would be interested in running/helping run Ladystuck, please email ladystuck at gmail with your: Tumblr and AO3 usernames; history of participating in the exchange; any relevant experience you have. We’d be looking for 2-3 people to answer questions, hand-check matches, post copy, and assign/keep track of pinch-hitters.

>> WE ARE LIVE <<

and that you can find all 62 of  the lovely Ladystuck Remix works right up there! There’s some really cool stuff in there, and we hope you check it out! Please do take a look at the remix of your work in the collection and thank the creator--this is not really a gift exchange, but also it is . . . kind of a gift exchange, and people stress out about these things! 

If you don’t have a remix in the collection, or have a remix that contains your opted-out warnings, please let us know (ladystuck at gmail) and we will get it sorted out right quick!

How does it feel to be done? (Provided you are done, of course.)

Pinch-hits will be going out in a moment--we very much encourage you to check them out, and, if you are able, to consider picking up one or two. The collection will remain open in the meantime, so you might want to take this opportunity to look over your remixes to make sure they’re nice and polished (and posted to the correct place) . . . and don’t forget Ladystuck Treats, either!

(Sorry this is so late! orz)

(Slightly late, whup.)

This is a reminder that your Ladystuck Remix works are due at 11:59 PM Chicago time (UTC -5) on July 25. That’s a little less than two days from now!

If you think you will need a little extra time, we do take extensions on a case-by-case basis--please email us (ladystuck at gmail) before the deadline, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Do not wait until after the deadline! We try to send pinch-hits out shortly after the deadline passes, and waiting to inform us you need more time until after that creates headaches for us. 

Please remember that your Ladystuck Remix works are due July 25 at 11:59 PM Chicago time (UTC -5). That’s about two weeks from today!

We ask that if circumstances have changed and you will not be able to complete your assignment, to let us know by July 17. Participants who default or otherwise fail to turn in their assignments after that date will be banned from Ladystuck-related exchanges for a period of one year.

Er, on that note. We have a pinch hit that’s still unclaimed, and we would really appreciate if you would take a look and see if it’s something it looks like you can do! You will have the mods’ undying gratitude and also a pony.*

Hello! We hope you didn’t think we’d forgotten about you. Assignments are being sent out now; you should get yours within the next few minutes, if you haven’t already. You should be getting TWO EMAILS:

one from the AO3, confirming that you’ve been hooked up to their system;

and one from us, with the actual details of your assignment (and links to qualifying works, etc.)

(Note that if you gave us a different email from the one you gave AO3, they may not be sent to the same address.) Please let us know as soon as possible (ladystuck at gmail) if you are missing something!

Please remember that this is an anonymous exchange, and do not contact them under any circumstances. (If for some reason you really need clarification from them, email us and we will act as proxies.) We also ask that, to preserve that anonymity, you refrain from giving details about your excitement in public--generalized squeeing/panicking is fine, of course.

Not that we want you to panic.

We will remind you that this is an experimental sort of exchange and you may receive an assignment somewhat out of your comfort zone! Remember that you can always change the style, tone, mood, or scope to suit you better, or write out that minor character you don’t really like. That said, we have tried to abide by your preferences with regards to disliked characters/pairings, porn, and the Ladystuck Remix-specific opt-outs (rape, abuse, suicide, etc.) If this is not the case in your qualifying works specifically (we can’t guarantee anything else), please let us know as soon as possible so we can reassign you.
