Last day of sign-ups (?)

[morbane]

Sign-ups close at ADJUSTED 3:00AM EDT April 13, or at 7:00AM UTC April 13.

Here's the countdown.

Please make sure your offers match at least one request! You can see the requests on AO3 or in the updated list on this community.

We currently have 47 sign-ups, which is a perfectly good number with which to run the exchange. However, I'm a little puzzled, because it's lower than average - whereas the tag set is far, far bigger.

Should I extend sign-ups another day - would that affect anyone positively?

ETA I am going to extend sign-ups for 27 hours past what I originally said, partly because of slightly odd (but not problem-causing) numbers, and partly because the way my work schedule falls this week, it's going to be a lot easier to send assignments the day after. The countdown is updated. I apologise to anyone who was just hoping to get their assignment soon. I hope it is excellent when it comes.

I've signed up so extended sign-ups wouldn't affect me either way. I don't know if this is something you usually do but maybe making another post in the fandomcalendar would jog the memory of people who wanted to sign up but maybe don't follow this comm?

Thank you! That is a sensible suggestion. I'm a little hesitant to use the fandomcalendar community multiple times for one round of an exchange, though, as they ask for discretion there - I might save a second time for if pinch hits need to be filled.

I think I will extend the sign-up time partly because my work hours this week make an extra day of sign-ups a lot easier on me, and if more people sign up, they do, and if they don't, they don't.

I think I will probably sign up for pinch-hitting this year, if it comes up.

Thanks! The thought is appreciated.
