Sorry if I'm being hasty for no reason, but will I get a notification when my fic is approved for the challenge? (Now the status of the assignment is unapproved.) If it isn't, will I be asked to do something with it? (I don't see there anything that would be against the rules but that doesn't stop my anxious ass from worrying.) The assignment also still has the "fulfill" and "default" boxes, will they go away at some point? Thank you for arranging this exchange!
No worries! It’s been a bit since I was in an exchange I wasn’t running, so I’m not sure if you will get a notification when we approve the fic. You might, as it will be officially added to the exchange collection, and I think there’s a notification for that.
I think the fulfill and default boxes are on your end. Did you click the button to say this fic fulfills an exchange assignment when you posted the story to the collection? If not, you can edit the fic to check that box and see if that helps.
Even if you don’t get a notification, we’re not going to reject any fic, not least because that would reveal the story on AO3! If a story breaks an exchange rule, etc. the mods will contact you to work it out. You also have until the final deadline to polish your fic so the mods are aware that we’re looking at some rough drafts and we’re not going to refuse to approve anything on that basis.
Hope that helps!
