I have made creators' names visible on the archive. Feel free to promote your work under your own name.

Thank you to everyone, especially to Measured_Words for tag wrangling, to silverr, Flamebyrd, fleurlb, Zdenka, seekingferret, Merfilly, merryghoul, and IShouldBeWriting for pinch hitting, and to seekingferret and Measured_Words for discussing rules with me before the start of this round. Thanks also goes to paraka, chestnut_filly, originally, and akamine_chan for discussing podfic with me, and hm_f for discussing art.

As usual, I really enjoyed running this exchange and I'm glad about everyone who participated. However, everything can be improved, and if the exchange didn't work for you in some way, I'm interested in hearing about that too. Feel free to comment on this post - anonymous comments are enabled, if you prefer.

This is normally when I'd post a half-hour editing warning. Unfortunately, it looks like one of the pinch hits has been held up. (Good luck, pinch hitter!)

The collection will not open until 6pm EDT / 10pm GMT / 10am NZST. I will let you know if it's likely to be held up longer than that. I'm sorry about this.

Meanwhile, I'm working on a playlist of all songs that were written/drawn/recorded for. Watch this space!

Thanks to everyone who got a work in. I know there are a couple of people still working.

If I have not heard from you - and you have not received my reply, confirming that I've heard from you - I will assume I need to find a pinch hitter for your assignment.

I promise I will not post many more of these... because it will be deadline.

As always, feel free to talk to me if you have questions or concerns - jukebox.mod@gmail.com.


Oh, PS: If you submit your work, and the fandom does not seem to show up on either the Jukebox collection's fandoms page or AO3's Uncategorized Fandoms page, let me know. Sometimes fandoms slip in between the cracks that way, and if you let me know, I will follow it up with AO3 Support. (Or you can contact Support yourself, but we may double up.)

Dear Jukebox participants,

For me, it is Friday night, and so it seems apt to post a reminder that approximately 12 days and 16 hours remain until the deadline. For a more accurate deadline, see here.

Congratulations to everyone who's submitted already, and best wishes to all still writing, drawing, or recording. Go! Go!


If you have not yet submitted your assignment, it's a good idea to have a solid block of time scheduled in the next under-two-weeks to work on the gift you intend to submit.

If you're feeling uncertain about whether you'll complete your gift, it's okay to default. I assume you signed up to this challenge intending to complete a gift, but if that's really tough right now, there are pinch hitters available to take over your assignment. There is no penalty for defaulting, as long as you also post thanks for any gift you receive.

(Thanks, pinch hitter volunteers!)

It is now 4 weeks to assignment deadline! Give or take a couple of minutes. Assignments are due on the 3rd or the 4th of June, depending on what time zone you are in. See when in your time zone works are due.

Because of this, I have made all requests visible. See all requests.

A couple of notes:

-I'm typing this up quickly in my lunch break and am generally lazy, so I'm not planning on writing a How To Post Your Assignment post. HOWEVER. If posting an assignment to AO3 is new to you, please email me with any doubts or confusion. I am always happy to answer questions; you are not wasting my time. jukebox.mod@gmail.com

-Treats are encouraged! Treats of any length and type can go in the main collection. Your treat will not become someone's main gift unless I've checked with you first. Post at will!

-If you have some time to beta other people's works, consider offering your services on the relevant previous post (will edit link in later).

I have sent out assignments. I hope yours is to your liking. ^!^

Good luck!!!

Matching was good, but not perfect. I will send out preliminary pinch hits tomorrow. In the meanwhile, if you are interested in pinch hitting, please, please do email me at jukebox.mod@gmail.com to let me know your availability. Thank you to those who have already registered interest. You are not obligated to take a pinch hit if you email me to register, and I estimate no more than 15 pinch hits will be required this year.

If you have not received your assignment, please check your spam folder, or log into AO3 and see if it has turned up on the 'Assignments' tab.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Sign-ups will be open for approximately 5.5 more hours. They will close at approximately 6pm NZST on Thurs 16 April.

Here is the widget that displays the time in your time zone.

Last time I looked, everyone DID have a possible match both ways. Congrats! That means that I am likely to send out assignments a few hours after I close sign-ups.

If you are working on a letter, please try to ensure it's complete and unlocked by the end of 18 April in your timezone, whatever that is. I won't be checking, and there's no penalty, but it will help your creator get off to a good start if your letter is waiting for them (or coming VERY soon).

Please see the previous post for pinch hitting and beta reading.

Admin note #1: Sign-ups are open for just under 3 more days. I will close them at approx 6pm on Thurs 16th April in my time zone, NZST. Time in your time zone is here, and there's a 'countdown' button in the 'Event actions' menu to the right. You can add, edit, or delete a sign-up until that time.

Admin note #2: I closed sign-ups briefly and ran matching, just to see how things were shaking out. Everyone has someone who can create a gift for them. Two people have no one they can write, edit, or record for. I'm not too worried, because we have 3 more days of sign-ups, but if the situation is the same when sign-ups close, I'll talk to the relevant people before I proceed with assignments. Everyone needs a potential assignment before I will send assignments out.

Admin note #3: Huzzah for the number of sign-ups so far! I am excited to see new people - welcome - and to see people returning - welcome back! And to those who have signed up or pinch hit or shown interest before, but aren't around for this round - thank you for your interest at the time, and best wishes now.


Pinch Hitters
If you are interested in pinch hitting for this exchange, please email jukebox.mod@gmail.com with your AO3 name, the media (fic/art/podfic) you can pinch hit for, and your preferred email address IF it's different to the one you're contacting me on.


Beta readers/feedback-givers
If you are willing to look over the gift someone has created before it goes live and give them feedback on what works and doesn't work for you, checking spelling, etc, please comment to THIS POST or to the equivalent beta post on LJ. Please indicate some way for the creator to contact you, any further information they need to know (such as "I will not read a story over 5k" / "I cannot look at art that depicts X" / "I'm busy in the last two weeks before deadline"), and your AO3 name if you are also signing up for the challenge.

Link 'em here! Or on LiveJournal.

I don't think we have a snappy name for letters specific to this exchange. Maybe Dear DJ?

ETA
A very belated suggestion - sorry, I threw the letters posts up at the end of a long string of posts - but please include your AO3 name, and the medium or media you are requesting for each song, at least in your letter.

Finally and at last. Sorry for the delay.

Sign-up form | Dates, rules, and FAQ | Tag set | Canons ordered by artist | Canons ordered by song title | Podfic permission post


I have made some changes to the way the fest runs this year, so please read carefully before signing up.

You have 3-10 offers, and 3-8 requests.

Offers
You need to tag each of your offers with 'Podfic' or 'Fanfiction' or 'Art'. You can also tag an offer with both 'Fic' and 'Art'.

If you select Fic or Art or both, you need to enter a song from the tag set for your canon.

If you are offering podfic, enter 'No Fandom' where the form asks you for a fandom. Please also write some details in the Optional Details box to help me match you with someone who wants podfic.

If you are offering art or fanfiction for any particular song, please do not use the Optional Details box for your offers. I will only use those details to match podfic artists & their recipients.


Requests
You need to tag each of your requests with 'Podfic' or 'Fanfiction' or 'Art'. You can also tag a request with both 'Fic' and 'Art'. If you tag Podfic, you need to enter 'No Fandom' for the canon. If you select Fic or Art or both, you need to enter a song from the tag set for your canon.

Feel free to use the Description box to give your author/artist/podfic artist some prompts. Keep in mind that if you are asking for podfic, your podfic artist has a limited selection of works to choose from. You can suggest themes and types of story, or suggest specific works you would like to receive as a podfic, but your podfic artist may not follow those exactly.

Please let your author, artist, or podfic artist know of anything you really do not want to receive in your gift. Your gift creator is obliged to follow those preferences.


I have made separate posts for Dear Creator letters, which are an optional way to post your prompts outside AO3 and give your gift creator more detail about what you would like.


In general
If anyone has any questions about the changes to the sign-up form, or if you have any tips for people to consider when writing fanart, fanfiction, or podfic prompts, please comment.

As with all Jukebox posts, this post is mirrored on LiveJournal.

Songs should be correctly alphabetised (with 'the', 'a', 'der' disregarded). My apologies for any mistakes.

Sorry it's a little late! Here you go: all canons, alphabetised by artist.

Artists are alphabetised the quick-and-dirty way, i.e., 'the' is alphabetised under 'T'.
