Hello 2010 Good Omens Holiday Exchange Participants!

Watch your inbox over the weekend for we will be sending you your gift assignments!

I'd like to take this moment to THANK YOU for stepping up to our challenge to innovate the 6th Annual GO Exchange. First, you wrote freaking fantastic prompts. Second, you selected what you want to give. Third, a good handful of you made multiple selections and/or took on "related" gift requests so that we could make all of our matches.

We sincerely appreciate your efforts -- and we CAN HARDLY WAIT to see what you will create!

with love and appreciation,

Waxbean

Hi Good Omens Exchange Participants,

You have roughly 32 hours to make your selections for the gifts you would like to create!

Please leave your screened comment with your top three choices here by midnight Tuesday night.

For those of you who have already made your selections, please make any edits by midnight Tuesday night. I encourage you to go back through the list of gift requests here to peruse the newest gift requests.

And if you are worried about your top three selections, feel free to go back and make a 4th or 5th selection! It can't hurt. In fact, it can only increase your chances of getting to create something that you have actually selected! Post any additional preferences with links here

yours,
Waxbean

ps. though it may have seemed an unlikely event, this gift request has not yet been claimed!

After midnight tonight, we will freeze the comments. Then, if you have not already done so, please review all of the gift requests, choose your top three gift requests that you would like to fulfill, and post them in a screened comment here by Tuesday, September 28th.

So you’ve made your decision about what gift you’d like to create from the list of requested gift prompts here? Excellent! Reply here at this post no later than Tuesday, September 28th. Don’t worry. We’ve screened the comments to maintain secrecy!

Please Note: Though we will make every attempt to match you with your top choice or at least one of your alternate choices, we may have to match you to another prompt.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please cut and paste the following format into your reply comment:

2. Please test all links to ensure that they go back to the correct prompt!

3. Look for our confirmation email in the very near future!

Happy September, Good Omens Holiday Exchange participants!

It’s time to innovate. The Good Omens Holiday Exchange is in its 6th year. While we love the fic, the art, and all that’s in between, we mods have opted to try something new. Don’t worry. It’s easy. And it’s going to yield great fic, art, and who knows what else. What’s new is that we think you should decide what gift you’d like to create. There are specific instructions below -- but, here’s the gist: you reply to this post with your requested gift prompts. Then, you read all the other gift ideas and from those, you select the gift that you’d like to create! You tell us what you want to create in a screened post, so everyone still gets a holiday surprise from a secret gifter! That’s it. See? Easy.

Sign-ups for the 2010 Good Omens Exchange coming soon--Year Six!

We have some new things in store this year; we'll be changing our signup process a little bit. One of those changes will involve asking for more specific prompts/requests, so start thinking in some detail of things you'd really like to see.

Hello Exchangelings and Good Omens Fandom!

It's time to take a bow. Here's an excellent space for you to thank your gifters, betas, pinch hitters, and commenters.

Let me start by thanking my co-mod,

vulgarweed, without whom I would never do this, year after year. And a huge thanks to our first-timer co-mod,

freudian_lisp!

Thank you, Fandom.

yours,
Waxbean
on behalf of Vulgarweed and Freudian_lisp

ps. for the love of Adam, let us know here if we've screwed up anything on the list. We'll fix it!

Hi Good Omens Holiday Exchanglings!

We have one more beautiful and fabulous gift left to go. Look for it tomorrow.

In the mean time, please take a look around, hit the tags, and catch up on your reading.

Thank you all for a fabulous exchange, thus far.

go_exchange folks,

Today's the day! Do we have your gifts? If yes, then HOOWEEE. You are awesome. If not, then please let us know what we can do for you -- beta? extension? hand-holding? We do it all. We are full-service mods. But please do let us know what's going on. We're here and we're at goodomens.exchangeATgmailDOTcom.

yours truly,
Waxbean

Dear 2008 participants,

Once again, thank you so much for making the holiday season full of GO-goodness!

RE: Your Gifts

1- Tracking your gifts: If you'd like to keep up with the comments your gifts garner here at the

go_exchange, hit the "tracking" button on the entry itself -- it looks like a pushpin. Then any new comments will be emailed to you. Trust me, folks read and comment on gifts throughout the year!

2- If you want to post your gift somewhere else (like your own lj, for example) and you want us to change the links, please do the following: leave a comment here with the following info: the mod who posted (waxbean, vulgarweed, or musegaarid), the link to the entry here at the

go_exchange and the new link to wherever else you've posted it. Give us lots of time to deal with these requests -- but poke us if you haven't heard from us after a few weeks.

3- All the gifts should be edited to reflect proper giftees' identities. If we've made any mistakes, let us know and we'll fix it.

4- If there are any other mistakes, let us know.

5- Lastly, artists -- if you'd rather host your art, just send us the new links. Please identify the mod who posted the gift, the link to the original gift entry, and the new link to your art. I personally don't mind hosting art on my lj scrapbook. I have a permanent account so the art shouldn't be going anywhere (assuming LJ doesn't go anywhere, of course).

Stats post still to come!

As befits the night of Epiphany, the Great Reveal Post is imminent.

That means the end of the guessing game...which had a pretty sorry turnout this year. Only 4 people tried their luck!

sticktothestory is our winner for both fic and art; that was with 2 artists and 3 writers correctly identified.

wintercreek's one and only guess was correct, and

sirius_luva correctly identified one artist.

Congratulations,

sticktothestory, and we await your prompts for your fic and art prizes!

( The Big Reveal )

You may now take your bows, fangirl/boy openly, thank each other face to face, publicly honour your betas, and repost with glee to the four winds. (But especially to the Good Omens Library.)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my amazing co-mods,

waxbean and

vulgarweed and double-thank our pinch-hitters who came through for us by creating such wonderful gifts in an incredibly brief period of time.

And for everyone who's still working their way through the bounty, feedback is still appreciated whether the author/artist is anonymous or not...

Stay tuned, everyone, for the stats post and we'll see you next year!

...when all our best readers and viewers get to prove their mettle with the Guessing Game! How well do you know your fandommates and their works?

We've made a few changes to the formatting this year. We're presenting a masterlist of all 71 (!) works produced for the 2008 GOE, and you'll have to do your guessing in the comments. (The poll formatting is just too unwieldy for lists this long.) And this year, our guessing winners will have something to show for it!

The person who correctly identifies the greatest number of fic authors will be able to request a custom ficlet from one of the mods!

The person who correctly identifies the greatest number of artists will be able to request a custom drawing from the lovely and talented

sarahsan, who has volunteered!

As usual, honor system: no guessing your own piece, the one you beta'd, or the one your friend told you about.

( The Masterlist - Let the Games Begin! )

ETA: All comments screened!

Thanks to everyone who participated for another fabulous year of the Good Omens Exchange!

vulgarweed.livejournal.com

The Guessing Game goes up tomorrow! So get your reading, eyeballing, and yes!commenting, in as soon as you can. This year there is talk of offering a prize for the person who guesses the most gifters correctly; soon we might even decide what that's going to be!

Ciao til tomorrow,
yr loving mods

go_exchange participants,

Thanks to all of you who have submitted your gifts!

If you haven't sent in your gift, please do so by Sunday, November 30. This is our final deadline -- unless you're a pinch hitter or you've already negotiated a specific deadline with us via email (you already know who you are).

If the Nov 30 deadline comes and goes and we don't have a gift, we're not going to chase you down. We're going to regift so we can get on with what promises to be a fabulous exchange.

thanks!

Hello

go_exchange!

Your gifts are now due. Please send them to goodomens.exchange@gmail.com. Please be sure that you've had them beta'ed (let us know if you need help finding a beta for art/fic/graphics).

If you need an extension, please email us as soon as possible so we aren't left wondering if we need to regift and/or find a pinch hitter.

Just in case you're having doubts: extensions are much better than flakes and rush jobs! We'll work with you -- just let us know how!

yours,
Waxbean

waxbean.livejournal.com

another friendly reminder -- gifts are due in 1 week!

should you need an extension, please email us at goodomens.exchange@gmail.com . please give us a date for which we can expect your gift.

if you need help finding a beta, email us.

thanks,
W

waxbean.livejournal.com

Just a friendly reminder that your exchange gifts are due in 2 weeks!
