End of Round

I am sorry for this post being late.  One of the things that I’m going to talk about concerns that.

 

 

Cats

269 cats

If I missed your pics or the name you wanted to be credited under then just send me a message.  Not everybody included names that they wanted to be credited under.

I also would like to apologize to people that felt that they got subpar gifts because of the cats.  I just thought this would be a fun and silly prize to work toward.

Originally I was going to do them on a AO3 post, but I ended up changing my mind.

 

Staffing

The short version is that Trick or Treat is just too big for me.  We aren’t the biggest exchange by participants.  We aren’t even the second or third.  But we have an amazingly high ratio of gifts to participants.  My schedule is just going to get more busy in the upcoming years.  Trick or Treat simply can’t continue without additional staff members.  I’m not sure how to go about training staff or how to start divvying up responsibilities, but it is something that needs to happen if Trick or Treat is to continue. I also have amazingly bad luck when running exchanges.  The reason for the radio silence was for medical reasons (don’t worry I’m fine now).  

 

If you are interested in staffing then email me at halloweenmod@gmail.com with your AO3 name, what experience you have either moderating an exchange or participating in them, what fandoms you are knowledgeable in, and what you think you can bring to Trick or Treat in a staff capacity.  You must title your email “Trick or Treat - Staff”

 

Requirements are that you must be at least 18, must have participated in at least four AO3 based exchanges, be willing to learn, and be willing to have a thematically appropriate mod icon for when you post to the com as an exchange mod to make it clear when you are speaking as a mod versus speaking as a participant.  

 

Livejournal

I will not be using the LJ community anymore.  I will post one notice for nominations starting and one for sign-ups, but that is it.

 

Community Challenge

It seems like the community challenge was well received this year.  Would you rather have another round of bingo next year or something new?  This is not a vote.  I am still deciding what I want to do next year and I just want community feedback and input.  If I do bingo again it would be a mix of new and old squares with any old squares being harder than they were this round. 

Closing

I hope you had fun this year.  If you are participating in Yuletide then good luck on your assignments/treats.  If you like Trick or Treat then check out our friends over at chocobox for a relationship themed exchange with reveals on Valentine’s Day.
