2015 Wrap Up Post  
I think it mostly went pretty well this year, hiccup at the end aside. Bullet points for potential issues:

1. We might institute a pinch hits are due X hours before the archive opens policy, and that number might be six hours. That's built in buffer time for last minute vanishing acts etc.

2. There seemed to be a lot of confusion about what time things were due. I thought that was widely posted, but I'll put it on the comm info as well next year. Any other suggestions for making the time more clear?

3. Otherwise, timing working for people? Longer? Shorter? Different day of the week?

4. Art: So again we got some lovely art, and some really hot porny art, and there was much rejoicing. We did not, again, get very many people signing up for art. I'm not sure how to change this, or if it is changeable. All suggestions very much welcome.

5. Other formats: In that we're still struggling to get art happening, I don't see including anything else at this time.

6. I don't think anyone used the treats for pinch hitters post, and I'm wondering if it's worth the bother next year. It's a fun idea, but I'd save myself the work if no one actually does anything with it.

7. On a similar note, no one used posting via the mod account as an option. However, it doesn't take any work to offer it, so we may keep that.

8. Any other changes that would make things easier? More fun? More welcoming? Less confusing? Did anyone use that "How To" post I did? Was it useful?

Anon commenting on, and all input welcome.

I did look over the pinch hitter treats post, but unfortunately, no one was really asking for anything I could write.

The timing was perfect for me, and I felt like I had plenty of time to complete my fic with time to spare.

As someone who wound up on the PH list, I think a 6 hour window before reveals would be nice. Adding onto that, I'm glad to hear from another post that you're banning the total no shows for next time. I think that's smart.

I want to thank you guys for allowing poly ships this year! I really enjoyed that option.

I'd say that I'd like an option to make more nominations than was allowed this year, but people on this group were so friendly about nomination trading, and that actually added to the fun!

I had so much fun, both in writing for my recip and reading the gift I received, not to mention the other gifts in the collection! This was my first Femslash Ex, and it was a wonderful experience! I'll definitely be back for next year.

Probably going to do the six-hour window next year. The timing was unfortunate this year for a number of reasons, so hopefully we won't to that next year. It's not good for the mod's stomach lining, if nothing else.

Poly ships! I didn't actually notice if there was much poly fic, but it certainly didn't bog out the tagging, so that'll continue.

Glad to hear you'll be back next year, and that you had a good time. Thanks for the feedback.
