I apologise for the delay; I did not have access to the internet yesterday evening.
The last pinch-hit has been picked up and stories will go live as soon as it's in, but no earlier than Wednesday July 20 2000 UTC.
Thank you for your patience.

Please check the FAQ (either on Dreamwidth or on Archiveofourown) if you are unsure what you're allowed to request. Matching will be done as AND for the requests.
Please don't try to game the system. If you do so, I will ask you to change your requests. If you do not do so by the time sign-ups close, I will either delete your sign-up or change your requests.

All requests will be visible here. If you link a letter, please have it unlocked before the end of the sign-up period. If your letter is hosted on tumblr, please don't rename your blog before the exchange ends as that would break the link to your letter. The same goes for any other platform this might be applicable to.
You may link to your letter in the comments of this post in addition to linking to it in your sign-up.

Future plans
Jul. 27th, 2015 10:19 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
First, I was wondering if there would be interest in running this exchange twice a year, with reveals in July and January?
Second, there was no answer to the one pinch-hit for this exchange. Is it because it wasn't seen? If that's the case, I would like to know how else to handle pinch-hits in future so they are seen.
