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.

As a fanart treater I had a good time, and went back to the "how to treat" post a few times when I was paranoid I was going to post it wrong.

The one annoyance was people not always being very good at prompting for art, or making it clear if they were open to it, but you guys tried to help with that and hopefully as time goes on people will get more used to art being part of the exchange. And I still found more prompts than I had time to draw.

I'm glad you had fun this round, and thanks for treating.

I'm hopping that pure bloody repetition will start changing how people request art. It seemed a little better this year, I think. Hopefully next year will be better again.
