Thank you to everyone who took the time to make sure they were matchable. Everybody had a potential match, so we were able to send assignments a little early.

Initial Pinch Hits will be posted both here and to the Google Group over the next few hours, so keep an eye out for those.

If you haven't received your assignment yet, wait a little while for AO3 to do its thing and double check your spam folder before contacting us. If you've received an assignment for something you didn't offer to create, please shoot us an email at femslashexmod@gmail.com as soon as possible as something may have gone wrong with matching.

Because assignments have gone out a little early, if your recipient has a placeholder letter please don't panic. Wait until August 26, after sign-ups were scheduled to go out at the latest, and then free free to email us if the letter still hasn't been unlocked or updated. If you're still working on your letter, please try to have it updated by the 25th. Happy creating everyone!

We're lucky to have some wonderful pinch hitters each year, and not all of them are always signed up as participants. So this is a post for pinch hitters who aren't already signed up to the exchange. We are very grateful to everyone who volunteers to help out with pinch hits, and we'd like to give everyone the opportunity to receive treats!

If you've been assigned a pinch hit and you're not already signed up to the exchange, please feel free to drop some requests in a comment below. If you want to write a letter and link to it, you're very welcome to, but you can also simply write some prompts in your comment if you wish.

Remember to include your AO3 username, the fandoms and relationships you'd like, and whether you're interested in fic or art or vids. You're welcome to request from the 2018 tagset, or if you missed nominations you can also request other eligible (ie. relationships allowed by the 2018 rules) ships and fandoms. Prompts and letters are optional, though make sure to mention Do Not Wants/DNWs if you have anyway.
