multifandomhorrorexchangeCreators have been revealed. My deepest apologies for the delay! I was using a different device than the one I usually use at first, but something went wrong and it was a while before I could access my usual one again.
Thank you once more to everyone involved! I enjoyed seeing this year's collection come to life despite the bumps along the way, and I really hope you had fun, too!
If you haven't yet re-dated your works, there is more information below the cut about why and how you can do so.
Since the collection was unrevealed, there are many works that were posted/published to AO3 earlier (prior to the work reveals date). But, when AO3 sorts works (for general users to find), its default mode is to sort by date, such that the most recently posted/published works appear at the top of the search queue. As a result, if there is a work in the collection that was posted/published to AO3 a month ago (for example), other users may not find it easily because it will be 'buried beneath' all the newer works that have been posted since.
In any future editions of the exchange, the rules regarding whether no-shows can participate will be changed. Your mod had an appropriately horrifying experience with staying on top of those this year, and would like to keep the horror fictional. In essence, no-shows from 2021 onwards (those who neither defaulted before the deadline nor turned in anything for an assignment or pinch-hit... and those who deleted a previously posted assignment after the deadline) will be asked to make up a work before signing up again. The announcement about that will be up after a while, but I wanted to give quick a heads-up just in case. Thank you for understanding.
