Assignments are out!
A few reminders:
Matching
Matching is done using the AO3 matching algorithm, then hand-tweaked if something in the optional details makes me think that will be a bad match (e.g., someone with all NS.FW prompts is matched to someone who doesn't want to draw NS.FW things).
Your assignment letter says "This assignment is due at: Sat 3 Aug 2026 12:00 AM EDT." This is not QUITE right.
Assignments are ACTUALLY due August 3rd 11:59 PM Anywhere On Earth (what time is it for me?). So you have a little more time than your assignment email says you do. ^_~
If you are having a problem getting started or figuring out what to create or are concerned you won't be able to fulfill your assignment, please let me know sooner rather than later. (And to the person assigned to me (eirenical), you are ALSO welcome to reach out to me. Obviously anonymity doesn't apply in this case, so I don't mind being spoiled about my gift if you need help.)
I may be able to help you brainstorm some ideas or possibly even find you a different assignment and someone else to pinch hit for your assigned giftee.
This is supposed to be fun. If it's causing you undue stress, then that is very much NOT the intention, and I'd like to alleviate that for you as quickly as possible.
If you have any other questions or concerns, either about your assignment or in general, please let me know! (Preferred method of contact is by email ([email protected]) or by ask. I don't always catch messages sent to this blog. You can also find me on Discord at eirenical.
Now go forth and have fun! :D
