Here are the current changes/issues expected for this year's round:

 

Rule changes - There are two minor changes to the exchange rules for the 2018 round. The first is that participants will be allowed to denote a safe pseud, as long as it is pre-existing. The second is that if you offer an umbrella tag and have no possible recipients, I will automatically change your offers to include any individual tag beneath that umbrella, without emailing you to ask about it.

 

Mod availability - I will be out of town for the first week of signups (hence signups opening on the 12th instead of the 14th as previously planned). If you ask a question with a brief answer, I will be able to respond on my phone; if you ask a question requiring a more involved answer, it may have to wait until the 21st or 22nd.

 

AO3 bugs - AO3 currently has a bug where some works posted to anonymous collections don't show as anon. To avoid this bug, you should post your work as a DRAFT. When viewing the draft, if it says Anonymous [YOURNAME], you are safe to post it. If it only says YOURNAME, please wait 12 hours to give me time to see it on my own. If it's still not correct by then, email me at remixrevivalmod@gmail.com so I can fix it behind the scenes. (If posting on September 9 or later, please poke me immediately instead of waiting.) I will post approximately 1 million reminders about this one as we go on.


The rule changes are open for discussion until signups open on July 12. Safe pseuds are being added by request, on a trial basis; if they become an issue, they'll be removed if I run the exchange in 2019. As for not emailing people if I have to change their offers, the people I had to email last year mostly seemed to think that I was going to change their offers as needed anyway, so I may as well save myself a step during an already hectic period. I'm open to adding/changing other rules if I think it would benefit the exchange, but again, any discussion must happen prior to July 12.

If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment to this post (DW), send this account an ask (tumblr), or email me (remixrevivalmod AT gmail).
