austenexchange

The collection is now open for you to read, comment, and kudos to your heart’s content. Please enjoy, and remember to leave a comment for your writer when you’re able.

If your gift does not include a requested character or relationship, contains a DNW, or appears incomplete, please contact me as soon as possible at austenian@gmx.net.

If you fancy treating a fellow participant before reveals, feel free to browse the requests app. Like assignments, treats must be complete works in a requested fandom and include a requested character or relationship within that fandom, but there is no minimum word count.

As extension deadlines arrive and I spot-check works for completion, pinch hits may arise in the coming days. Please continue to watch your inboxes for any queries and the comm for any updates.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached at austenian@gmx.net.

Assignments are now out and viewable on your assignments page, via the AO3 collection sidebar, and in your email.

Remember that works will remain anonymous until author reveals on 8 October. Until then, please refrain from talking about your assignment in a way that might reveal your identity.

There are no pinch hits at this time. Any that arise during the writing period or at the deadline will be posted to the community.

Assignments are due on 23 September by 22:00 UTC (countdown). If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at austenian@gmx.net.

As a reminder, the sign-up period ends at 22:00 UTC on 10 August (countdown), a little more than 24 hours from time of posting.

Until then, you can sign up or edit an existing sign-up on AO3 through this link.

If you have a moment to spare, consider browsing requests to confirm your matchability, as we’re a rather tiny group. If you haven’t the time, no worries; once matching has been run, you’ll get an email to let you know if you need to add offers.

Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations over the past week. Now that nominations have closed, I’d like to request clarification on one last nomination under ‘Crossover Fandom’.

• Harriet Musgrove (P - JA)/Tom Bertram (MP - JA)

I’m not able to recall a Harriet in Persuasion—might you mean Henrietta Musgrove instead? If Harriet is correct, could you please provide a citation (e.g., chapter number) where I might find her? Whatever the case, please let me know with a comment on this post by 23:00 UTC on 1 August, a little more than 24 hours from time of posting. If I don’t hear back by that time, I will approve the tag as ‘Tom Bertram (MP - JA)/Henrietta Musgrove (P - JA)’.

Anyone with last-minute additions to the tagset may also request them in the comments of this post until 1 August at 23:00 UTC.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted nominations so far! You all have excellent taste. With the nominations period about halfway through, I'd like to take a moment to clarify the tags currently awaiting approval.

There are currently four nominations under ‘Crossover Fandom’ missing disambiguations:

• Fitzwilliam Darcy & Henry Tilney
• Fitzwilliam Darcy/Henry Tilney
• Frederick Wentworth/Colonel Brandon
• George Knightley/Fitzwilliam Darcy

Before I can approve these nominations, I’d like to confirm which versions of these canons you’re interested in. If you nominated any of these relationships, please leave a comment on this post indicating your preference or edit your nominations to include the appropriate disambiguations.

If the nominator(s) do not respond to this query or edit their nominations by 22:00 UTC on 28 July, a little over 24 hours from time of posting, any outstanding nominations will be approved as being for the novels.

Nominations will remain open here until 22:00 UTC on 31 July. Thank you!
