Assignments

[killerqueer]

Hi! I'm super excited to participate in the exchange - I was reviewing the schedule and saw that signups close on March 16th and the posting deadline is June 1st, but I don't see an expected date for receiving assignments! Does this mean we will receive them on the day the signups close (3/16) or will there be a delay of a few days to give the mods time to arrange them? Thanks!

It depends on how signups go. If everyone can create for someone else when signups close, they'll go out right away. Realistically, people with no one to create for will be e-mailed and given 24 hours to respond to add more offers or drop out. Then if they drop out any new unmatchables will be contacted and given 24 hours. Usually assignments go out within three days.
