Works will be revealed tomorrow (ETA: by request) at 11:59 PM, MST.

The collection will be open for treats until author reveals on August 24. Thank you again to our pinch hitters, who made this possible!

hi, does this mean the collection is opening early? the only time i can see is 11:59pm mst on the comm and on the ao3 collection, 11:59 pm is when story reveals are said to happen. 8pm is mentioned in the rules, but i think those are inaccurate cause it says april instead of august. i was hoping to have tomorrow to finish a treat and this news is a bit disappointing, as i have been assuming the all times were 11:59pm, as stated on the comm here.

once reveals happen i almost never go back to a treat that's all and i had planned my saturday to write this treat. people live in different timezones and collection reveals happen when they happen im usually asleep when most collections reveal. i go by what time is posted on the comms and ao3 profile so that reveals are happening early is a surprise when there has been no mention that the reveal time would be anything other than 11:59pm mst

Different anon here.

I'm new-ish to exchanges but all the ones I've done so far have had reveal times listed on the AO3 profile and they have never revealed early, so I also thought we had till 11:59 pm MDT tomorrow like the AO3 collection says. My gift needs one last edit, which I had been planning to do tomorrow, but since I saw your post, I can just do that now. But I'm lucky because I'm not in a timezone that would be asleep right now.

that has not been the accepted practice in the exchanges i have done. the reveals time is usually listed as the earliest time an exchange will open unless there are delays for pinch hits then the reveals are pushed back at whatever interval the mod deems necessary. i have been in exchanges where the deadline for assignments is 10pm and the reveals time is 10am but that has always been stated on the comm and ao3 profiles which is why this strikes me as unusual.

if you're willing to do a delay, 2pm would be fine. that will let other people wanting to do edits and treats some extra time too.

+1 to this. The exchange pinned post says all deadlines are 11:59pm MST, and so I'd assumed work reveals would be at 11:59 MST as well. It's not a huge deal, but for the next round, I'd strongly suggest either making all deadlines at the same time per time zone *or* explicitly specifying in the pinned post that works might go live at a time other than the specified deadline.

ayrt

Didn't expect such a quick response! Thank you for being flexible last minute, and also thank you for taking over from the other mod so that this exchange could keep going. It's appreciated. <3

As a late pinch hitter, I am extremely grateful to hear that the collection will open at the time it was stated to in the pinned Dreamwidth schedule and on the AO3 collection. I believe my recipient will be as well! Thank you.
