Hail! Hail! The Femslash Is Here!

The Archive Is Open!

We had a great run this year, totalling 186 stories and pieces of art, including some pretty cool multimedia submissions. The collection will remain open, in case anyone had a treat they didn't quite manage to finish.

AO3 notifications should be going out shortly, if they haven't already. If you haven't got a notification in your e-mail, try checking the gifts section of your profile. You can also use the search bar at the top of the works page.

If you didn't get a gift, or received an incomplete/placeholder gift, please contact the mods ASAP. Our e-mail is: femslashexmod@gmail.com

If you did get a gift, please check it out and comment on it! I know all the artists and authors can't wait to see how you liked their work. If you don't have time to read a longer story or comment properly, consider dropping a quick note to say that you've seen it's there and that you'll be around a bit later. I know everyone appreciates that.

Thank you so much to everyone who drew, wrote, beta read, cheered along, commented, advertised, reblogged, and generally made this thing go. A special thanks to all the pinch hitters, last minute and otherwise. We'll post a discussion post in a week or so, to see how it went for everyone, and talk about how to make next year even better.

For now, go forth and enjoy the giant pile of femslash!

You're welcome. It's, for the most part, a pleasure to do.

Thank you so much for running this again! I had a blast this year and last year, and am very much looking forward to diving into my gift fic, which went way above and beyond the mandate for the fest!

I do have one question though. I remember that last year there were some technical issues with works not showing up in the tags and subscribers not getting notifications of their posting. I've checked and my work is showing in the tags this year (yay!) but it's been almost six hours since reveals and I haven't seen any notifications for authors I've subscribed to, and I did double-check and several of them posted works for the fest. I don't remember how long it normally takes, but I think it's usually quicker than this?

I can't believe that someone wrote 50k. Man. I have like 60 tabs open right now.

Now that I think of it, I didn't get notifications either, though I have for other fests on reveals day. That's very frustrating. I will submit a bug report to AO3.

Still have too many tabs open, but I did contact AO3, and they poked the code, so subscription notifications should be going out.

Yep, I see them now. Thanks for getting that fixed!

Thank you very much for your work in running the exchange!

Will you be putting up a post to collect requests from pinch-hitters so that people may treat them if so desired?

You're welcome. I hope you enjoyed it.

Interesting idea. I wasn't planning to this year, as it's not something our fest or it's predecessor has done before, though I gather yuletide does? However, I'll add it to the discussion post for next year.

Yep, it's something Yuletide does. JW since I didn't find out about this exchange until it was time for pinch hitting, and definitely wouldn't mind some fic for my femslash rare-pair

Glad you're enjoying it, and that the art thing worked for you. I think we'll have a bit in the discussion post about how to make it more welcoming to artists.
