Id Pro Quo

The collection is live, on time thanks to our lovely participants and pinch hitters! The collection is still open (and now unmoderated) for treats; consider treating a pinch hitter based on their requests on the PHer treat post!

If there's any issue with your gift, please don't hesitate to reach out to the mods by emailing idficmod@gmail.com or DMing this Dreamwidth account.

Creator reveals are on track for April 1st.

Thanks to the combined efforts of participants and pinch hitters, we're currently expecting to reveal works on time. There are still a handful of creators hard at work. Barring a hiccup with one of those assignments, works will be revealed at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on March 25. Convert that to your local time zone here.

Now is an excellent time to check your work, especially if you've significantly revised it after it was accepted into the collection.

Fic checklist:
- Is it complete, with a beginning, middle, and end?
- Are all placeholders and brackets removed?
- Has it been beta-read for spelling, punctuation, and grammar?
- Is all the formatting and other HTML displaying correctly?

Art checklist:
- Is the image viewable by someone who isn't logged in to your image hosting platform?
- Is it displaying at the correct size and resolution?

Checklist for all works:
- Does it fulfill one of your recipient's requested combinations of fandom, character/ship, and freeform?
- Does it completely and unambiguously avoid all of your recipient's DNWs for the request?
- Are the rating and tags accurate?
- Does it have a non-placeholder title and summary?
- If there are author notes, are they positive in tone, with no apologies or negative comments regarding the quality of the work, and free of any links or other information that might de-anon you?
- If it's a multi-chapter work, are all chapters posted and in the right order? (Works marked with a ? number of chapters, or marked as having a greater number of chapters than are actually posted, are considered incomplete and will not be accepted.)

There are still two single-fandom pinch hits open. If you know someone who might be interested in creating work for แค่เพื่อนครับเพื่อน | Bad Buddy: the Series (TV) or Warhammer 40.000, please point them to our pinch hit post. We won't hold collection opening for these, but we would love to find creators for them so that everyone who participated gets a gift.

We're grateful to every pinch hitter, and encourage treats for pinch hitters who didn't sign up. Treats for other participants are welcome too. The collection will remain open for treating after works are revealed.

Good luck to everyone still working, and thanks to everyone who's helped get us here!

The original deadline for assignments and most pinch hits is today, March 11, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Convert this to your local time zone here. Your deadline is in your assignment email. If you're not sure what your deadline is, please email idficmod@gmail.com.

If you need an extension, please email idficmod@gmail.com with:

- your AO3 handle
- your recipient's AO3 handle
- your requested deadline

Please don't explain why you need the extension. We understand that life happens, and we trust you to assess your situation and figure out what you need. At this time, we're automatically approving all extension requests up to March 18. If you think you'll need longer than that, ask and we can discuss it.

The most important thing is to request the extension before the deadline. (As long as your request hits our inbox before 11:59 p.m., you're good.) If the deadline passes and you have not submitted a complete work or requested an extension, you will be defaulted.

Please keep your work in draft status until it's complete. Posting an incomplete work clogs the moderation queue, which is filling up quickly with works that need approval. If you post a work that appears to be incomplete, we'll email you if we're able to, but once the big rush of works comes in at the deadline, we'll begin rejecting incomplete works and defaulting their creators.

We will approve works with placeholder titles, no tags, no summaries, etc. Please check your work before reveals to make sure everything is as it should be.

Repeating these reminders from the previous admin post:

The collection is moderated. Your work will stay in the moderation queue until a mod is available to approve it; don't worry if this takes a few days. A mod will contact you directly, using the email address on your AO3 account, if there are any concerns about your work. Turning your work in before the deadline will help us keep the queue flowing smoothly.

We're checking works for obvious problems (content doesn't match tags, assignment fill is under the minimum length) but not for DNWs. It's your responsibility to make sure you're fulfilling a requested combination of ship + freeform and have not included DNWs in your work. Please check your recipient's requests closely. If you have questions for a recipient about an unclear DNW or an edge case, please email the mods at idficmod@gmail.com and we'll pass them along.

Please consider picking up a pinch hit, or promoting pinch hits in fandom-specific servers. Make sure to note that the fic minimum is 2000 words instead of the usual 1000. We recommend linking to the pinch hits tag rather than an individual post, so the most current information is displayed. We're grateful to every pinch hitter, and encourage treats for pinch hitters who didn't sign up.

Good luck to everyone busily creating and helping us open on time!
