here is the promised post where you can say what you liked and didn't like about this years exchange. I'm gonna do a little poll but please say anything else in the comments (or via E-Mail if you prefer). And don't hesitate to critize please I always aim to improve!
And I want to take this opportunity to thank my co-Mod angelus2hot who did the assignments and took care of the community when I couldn't. I would have never been able to do this without you. Thank you so much! (you should all thank her too =) )
As far as my own perception goes next years sign-ups need to be earlier and the time-line organised and followed through with better. Also I wasn't stringent with the fandom activities and maybe there should be one post for everyone to come together rather than a bunch of them. Additionally I wasn't always the best at staying in touch with people and answering messages in a timely manner.
Ps: I'm in contact with the three people that haven't posted yet. I might be looking for a pinch-hitter by the end of the week but let's hope it works out.
so we have only three outstanding fics and I'm in contact with the authors in question. They are all positive of being able to post soon so I'm really hopeful of pulling this round off without a pinch-hitter. Thanks to everyone that offered! You guys are amazing :)
Once everything is posted I will make a feedback post because I'm hoping to do this again next year and I was wondering what you guys would like to happen differently.
All the love! I hope 2015 started awesomely for you <3 Your Mods
