Assignments have now been sent out!

The deadline is Saturday, January 31 @ 11:59pm Eastern Standard time (Countdown). If your assignment has not been submitted to AO3 by then, you will be defaulted.

If your recipient did not request a fandom, character, and drabble type you offered, please contact the mods at seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail.com ASAP.

If you need to default, please do so via the button on AO3.

For the requirements your drabble must meet, please see our guidelines. The collection is moderated and we will be doing a brief check of submitted works before admitting them into the collection. If we see an issue, we will contact you through email.

If you write a drabble for a fandom in the tagset but it doesn't fit anyone's request, you may post it to the collection anyway, with no recipient.

We'll post initial pinch hits as soon as we can, keeping in mind the AO3 downtime. Happy drabbling!

Good luck everyone!

Works are due at 11:59pm EST, Saturday 24 January | see countdown.

That's soon.

Additionally, AO3 is going down for 15 hours on January 21st. So you won't be able to upload a draft or check your assignment on AO3 during that time.

Good news! You can always check the details of a prompt at the app.

This is a great time to check your recipient's Do-Not-Wants - because if your story or comic overlaps with an unwanted topic, you still have time to change it, check with a beta, send your recipient a question through me, or default.

Good luck again to everyone currently working!

We've finished initial matching and have two unmatchable participants (i.e., participants without a potential recipient). Please check the email associated with your AO3 account if your AO3 username starts with A or C, as we've reached out about your unmatchability. We will give 24 hours for a response before we proceed with the rest of matching. Update: we've heard back from all unmatchables.

Note: AO3 recently announced it'd be down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, January 21. We'll do our best to get assignments out ahead of the downtime, and will let you all know ASAP if we expect otherwise.

We have now closed signups! Below is the expected timeline for the next couple days:

Like always, for the next 12 hours, people can contact us to add to their signups. This is intended for people who may have run into the character tagset bug when signing up close to the deadline, or whose nominations were approved late. However, anyone may ask to have characters/fandoms added to their requests or offers. If you would like us to add to your signup, please post on the screened mod contact post or email us at seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail.com. Please make sure to include your AO3 username.

After that window has closed, we will check the matching and send out emails to anyone who is unmatchable on offers. They will be given 24 hours to respond.

Barring unexpected delays, assignments will go out before the end of Wednesday, January 21.

As you wait for assignments to go out, please feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing!
