Gundam Wing Fic Exchange (original) (raw)
07 January 2014 @ 11:38 am
I hope everyone has had a great start to the new year! For the past three rounds, the 
gwficexchange has started in January, with the writing period going through to May, so I'd like to apologise for my delay in posting, as some of you might be wondering what's up.
Unfortunately, although I've really enjoyed modding and participating in this exchange, I won't be able to commit to it this year. This is mostly because of various changes in my career and personal projects, and I'm sorry that I didn't really realise how these changes would affect my ability to mod the exchange until very recently.
However!!! If there's still interest in a yearly exchange, I would definitely be willing to hand over mod duties to anybody who'd like to give it a try. If you're interested in modding, please comment below or PM me!
Thank you, everyone, for your participation over the years! Regardless of whether the exchange continues in the future, this community will remain open as an archive of all works written over the past three rounds. An open collection also exists on AO3 if you'd like to crosspost your fics there.
A little ahead of schedule this year, the master list and reveals are posted below the cut!
There were six fics submitted for this round of the exchange. Thank you so much to all those who wrote, read, and reviewed! The master list is sorted chronologically—if you notice any errors or if you would like to edit the info for your fic, please let me know in the comments or through email.
I also have some quick notes about the future of this exchange. I would be really interested in hearing everyone's input on this, so please see this post if you want to leave some feedback. Thank you again, everyone!

Starting today, I will be posting one fic per day to the exchange community. As in the past, when the recipient of a fic has dropped out of the exchange, that fic will be gifted to the community. I encourage readers to especially consider leaving a review on the orphaned fics, as their authors will not be able to count on feedback from a recipient.
Fics will be tagged according to characters, pairings, and ratings. All fics rated R or higher will be marked as containing adult content.
A reminder that the exchange is anonymous: Feel free to respond to reviews, but please do so anonymously until the master list is revealed. At that point, you will be able to comment by name and/or post your fic to other archives.
Enjoy!
A reminder that submissions for this round are due on April 15! When you submit your fic, please include the following information either in the body of your email or in the fic file:
When you submit your fic, please ensure that all necessary HTML coding is included in the text. For example, include tags for italics, bold, underline, etc. The fic text will be pasted into the LJ post as is, so you may want to private post your fic on your own journal before submitting to make sure that everything looks the way you want it to.
If you feel you may need an extension, please let me know as soon as possible. Good luck in the home stretch, writers!
