Assignments are going out!

[ffexchange_mod]

Success! Matching was a little difficult this year, just in terms of how giving and receiving overlapped — it happens! — but in the end, the moderators have scratched our heads and squealed and confirmed, and now we're in the process of sending out assignments. Yay, us! \o/

The deadline for DOINK! 2011 is Saturday, May 7th, 2011, 23:00 UTC. You should click that link to find out what time that is where you live. Learn it, love it, live it! It is your finish line!

We hope everyone gets their assignment with no trouble, but google has been a surly behemoth in the past. We will make a post confirming when assignments have all gone out. If you haven't received your assignment 12 hours after that post goes up, contact us immediately.

Things to remember:

• Regular assignments must meet DOINK! quality guidelines.


• We try our hardest to provide multiple prompts for everyone, but we only guarantee one match.


• If you have problems, please contact us sooner rather than later!

Once your receive your assignment, mum's the word. (Of course, your beta is the exception.) Don't accidentally give yourself away by friending your recipient or asking them anonymous questions. If you need clarification on their prompts or have other questions, send us an email and we will ask for you, preserving your anonymity! Use the Modly Mognet, folks — we're always happy to facilitate a little intermoogle communication!

And, of course, if you'd like to join us in DOINK! chat, you're definitely free to come and chat about assignments — be careful not to spoil any surprises, but if you wanna get a little boost as creation time begins, feel free to drop by!

Finally, beta signups close in just a few hours, so this is your last chance to sign up!

Good luck to everyone and have fun!

All assignments are in the wild!

As of now, our assignment queue is empty, and the world is now full of 184 prompts left by all our participants. We feel pretty tingly over here, excited to see what everyone comes up with.

Of course, our Google Overlords sometimes treat us like a spammer, so you might not have received your assignment. We will be watching for any bounced e-mails or outright rejections.

On your end, if you have not received your assignment by Sunday, April 3rd, 23:00 UTC, please send us an email immediately letting us know. Making the connection with us first usually means we can reply and have better luck. :)

Please remember that the upload deadline for regular exchange signups is Saturday, May 7th, 2011, 23:00 UTC!
