Sticky: Discussion: Horror Type Tags

This is a post created to enable discussion about the horror type tags that are most likely going to be used in this exchange.

In the comments, please feel free to share agreements, disagreements, other proposals, or general discussion about the tags as they are presently described beneath the cuts.

Based on community discussion, the mod may change (expand or narrow) the suggested guidelines for each horror type; add or remove horror types, etc.
As changes are made throughout the nominations period, they will be updated here along with an edit that describes the latest date and time of change. No changes will be made once nominations have closed (May 14 8:30pm EDT).
Proposed Changes (Take #1): Apr 25 10:30pm EDT
Last Updated: Apr 29 11:00pm EDT
Proposed Changes (Take #2): May 7 4:00pm EDT
>Last Updated: May 9 5:30pm EDT

2021 Update:

At the moment, there are no plans on my end to change either the medium matching or the 15 horror type tags from last year's tagset. However, please still feel welcome to discuss or provide feedback about Horror Type tags here. New ideas or suggestions may be considered if there is sufficient agreement from the community.
This year, I am considering letting participants request "Opt-In" Horror Types in addition to the Horror Type tags that are in the tagset. These Opt-Ins could not be matched on. However, if named and described in optional details, a creator could choose to create based on the Opt-In instead of the tagset Horror Type. For example, if somebody opted-in to XYZ Horror by saying so and briefly describing their interpretation of XYZ Horror, then their assigned creator could create for XYZ Horror instead of the tagset Horror Type they matched on. My hope is that this would allow flexibility to accommodate niches that may not be adequately represented by the more general Horror Types in the tagset. Any thoughts on this, please feel welcome to share by commenting on this post.
No changes to Horror Type Tags will be made once nominations have closed.

Creators Are Revealed

Creators 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.

( Read more... )

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.

Works Are Revealed!

The collection is now live!

An immense thank you to everyone involved in this exchange, especially all the pinch-hitters who helped save the day. This wouldn't have been possible without you all, and I can't thank you enough!

I hope you have a horrifically good time browsing the collection. If you received a gift, please do take the time to kudos and comment.

Creators will be revealed in 1 week. (Feel free to re-date your works, if you'd like.) In case anyone is still working on a treat, you're also welcome to post it late (the collection will remain open).

In the meanwhile, if there are any questions or concerns about your gift, please send an email to implodinglittlehearts@gmail.com.
