Hey! I'm noticing that the ao3 collection is closed right now (so no works can be added to it). When are you planning on opening it so that people can post their assignment fills?

(If you're worried about people accidentally seeing gifts early and that's why it's closed, it looks fine otherwise - so long as it's Unrevealed nobody's gonna see the gifts, and so long as it's Anonymous nobody's gonna know who wrote them.)

Hi Shadaras! Thank you for letting me know it was closed! It is now open.
This is my first time running an exchange, and I got closing sign ups and selecting 'closed' mixed up I think. Enjoy the exchange!

No worries! :) I figured it was something like that, which is why I wanted to check!

I'm definitely enjoying it so far! It's a fun idea, and I'm looking forward to the resulting fic.

Hello!

I see that you originally intended to reveal works and creators at the same time; did you change your mind and want a day or two of anonymity, or is the ao3 interface just confusing about what you gotta tick in order to reveal everything? :)

I had a great time with this exchange; I hope you did too!
