DevilChicken, Support, and Reveals

[pumpkinkingmod]

Big thanks to thedevilchicken for force revealing some work and playing messenger for me when I had to step away from my computer.

Thanks to a participant, AO3 support had already been informed before I could send in a ticket and have contacted me.  They wanted to confirm I wasn't playing a trick on everyone and have offered to gentle caress the collection on their end.  I know some participants have had luck with adding their gift to an anonymous collection, removing it from ToT, then re-adding it to ToT.

I'm guessing the bug also messed up gift notification emails? Or at least I didn't receive any from AO3 for my gifts.

But yay for reveals!

I think gift notification emails are messed up, yeah. One of my gifts was revealed in the first hour or so, but I haven't gotten any email notification yet, although I got a later comment notification email.

No gift notifications here, either. I'd forgotten about reveals and wouldn't have checked but my recipient commented on the story I wrote!

(If any writers age getting antsy because they haven't heard from their recipient and fear that their story was hated, it's much more likely that they haven't noticed the story yet.)

Thank you for keeping us informed; I can be patient, sort of. More or less.

Reporting for data purposes only, not complaining: I have a reveal of the work that (supposition based on the date-stamp) fulfills my assignment. Lucky me, I have 2 other gifts, but alas they are not only unrevealed, the fact that they are from the ToT exchange is also missing. I have no emails at all. AO3 username for reference: wavewright62

self-reply: I don't know if it's relevant, but all of my works to others are still unrevealed.

I'm seeing that as well: my recip's gift shows as:

wavewright62 again - I now have revealed gifts! It also looks like my gifts to others are revealed, too, albeit not yet viewed. I still do not have any email notifications, although that hasn't been an issue for me personally. Thank you to whomever actioned this!

The "add to some other anon collection, remove from ToT collection, re-add to ToT collection" method worked for me. Or, well, I should say, I added it to another anon collection, tried to remove it from ToT, never did get it to remove as far as I can tell, but was able to confirm it had revealed anyway. I will be keeping an eye on it to make sure it hasn't gone and removed itself from ToT after all so that I can be sure to put it back in it I need to. *kicks AO3 in some part that looks ripe for percussive maintenance*

If TorT is this messed up, Yuletide reveals are bound to be fun. :(
