Late Treat Bonanza

Creators for Late Treat Bonanza 2025 have now been revealed and the collection is now closed for posting.

As mentioned at the start of this round, I will NOT be running a Mid-Year Bonanza this year. However, I *will* be running a round of crackthewip over here. Crack the WIP is a very flexible and simple event for finishing WIPs. This includes finishing up old gifts, works for past events, personal projects, etc., and it includes fanworks of any media. I've set the due date to be June 30th, which is a similar deadline to what the mid-year bonanza would have been, so if you're looking for an event to finish up some late treats, this might work for you! Note, however, that the Crack the WIP collection this year is revealed (i.e. works posted to it show up immediately rather than remain hidden) and there is no anonymous period for that event -- which may be a good or bad thing, depending on your needs!

Otherwise, I'll see you here in September for the next round of Late Treat Bonanza! Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on how this round went and how future rounds should be run. At the moment, the only change I am planning on making is that I might tweak the terminology a bit to try to make it a little more clear at a glance what sign-ups do / how the event works in terms of creating vs. signing up. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Hope everyone has a happy new year!

Hi everyone! Sorry, I meant to post a reminder earlier. I feel like it's a bit of a busy period in exchange land at the moment, but this is just a reminder that the collection for Late Treat Bonanza will be opening a little bit more than one week from now (countdown)!

Be sure that your works are ready to go live by then. We currently have 5 late treats in the collection!

Sign-ups are also still open. It's a bit last-minute to sign up, but you can go ahead and do it before LTB ends for the year!

Important announcements

Just a heads up that I have decided to discontinue the mid-year edition of Late Treat Bonanza. This is because I have a different WIP-finishing event I would like to run in the first half of next year, and so I need to free up my schedule during that time. (I'll be sure to share it here later, for anyone interested in finishing up late gifts or non-gift projects!)

Second, I am currently without a main laptop. I have already refreshed the sign-ups/fandom data for this year, but I haven't had time to check it in detail, so there may be mistakes/issues with it. Please let me know if you notice mistakes with it, and also please be patient as it might take me a bit longer than normal to fix issues. Thanks!

Hi everyone, the Mid-Year Bonanza collection is now open for browsing!

The collection will remain open for additional work posting until creators are revealed, which is on 1 Jul 00:00 PDT (UTC-7). Thank you to everyone who took the time to make someone a late gift, and I hope everyone enjoys the goodies in the collection!

Mid-Year Bonanza 2025 AO3 Collection

Hi everyone! I apologize for the lack of reminders this round -- I took a look at the calendar and was shocked to see that there is just about ONE MONTH until works are due / the Mid-Year Bonanza AO3 collection is revealed. Time flies!

We currently have 4 works in the collection. Sign-ups are open until works are due i.e. 23 June 23:59 PDT (UTC-7).

I'm running a bit late, but the collection is now revealed!

Thank you and congrats to everyone who was able to finish up some late treats before the end of the year, and I hope recipients enjoy their gifts! Note that the collection will remain open for posting until creators are revealed, on 1 Jan 00:00 PST (UTC-8), after which it will close for posting.

Late Treat Bonanza AO3 Collection

Hi everyone!

This is just a reminder that the work deadline for Late Treat Bonanza is one month from now, 24 December 23:59 PST (UTC-8). We currently have 2 works in the collection. Sign-ups are still open (will be open until the work deadline, although signing up earlier is better!).

Also, I tried to streamline the spreadsheet a little bit. If you're having any troubles with it, I recommend deleting any older copies of the spreadsheet you may have and make a fresh copy of the search spreadsheet. And do let me know if you're having any issues with it.

Are you still interested in receiving gifts for events you participated in ages ago? Then sign up here! This is a place where you can indicate which events/fandoms you're still interested in late treats for, and it's a place where interested treaters can peruse old requests that definitely have an interested, active recipient.

Signing up doesn't commit you to making anything, so don't be shy!

If you are new to Late Treat Bonanza and have not signed up before:

You need to give three things: your AO3 username, a link to your requests page in karanguni's amazing AO3 Automagic App, and any other notes you'd like to include. In these notes, you can specify which exchanges/events/fandoms/ships you're still interested in receiving treats for, include links to event sign-ups not scrapable through the above app, specify how you want your DNWs handled, etc.

Sign-up form:
<b>AO3 username:</b> <b>My requests page in the AO3 Automagic App:</b> [this should be a URL of the form: https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything/search/user/YOURUSERNAMEHERE Multiple URLs here are allowed here if you use pseuds, or you can separate pseuds into their own sign-up for clarity if you need it.] <b>Notes:</b> [Free space you can use to specify things like fandoms you're no longer interested in receiving; which set of DNWs to use if they've changed (the default is to use the DNWs of the original request); other gift-giving events you've signed up for in the past that aren't able to be scraped by the above app (Fandom Gift Basket, Fandomtrees, etc.). Try to keep it as brief as possible!]

After you post a sign-up, I will reply to your comment when I have inserted your fandom list into the spreadsheet and ask you to make any corrections. If you post signed-in, I will then delete my reply shortly afterward so that you are still able to edit your comment if you think of more things you want to add to it (comments with replies cannot be edited, but I believe that deleting the reply enables the ability to edit again). For those posting anon/guest comments, I will reply and leave the reply standing because guests aren't notified of replies and can't edit comments in any case. If you have any corrections to make, let me know at the spreadsheet correction post.


If you have previously signed up to Late Treat Bonanza:

You have two options: You can either make a fresh sign-up comment on this post (using the sign-up form above) or you can reuse an old sign-up. In order to do the latter, use the form below to make a comment here linking people to your old comment, indicating you are still interested in late treats. If you would like to find the link to your previous sign-up quickly, you may want to check out this spreadsheet. (If you are able to edit your original sign-up comment, you are welcome to.)

Please do NOT split information across comments in multiple rounds -- I only have space to link to one comment, so all sign-up information should be contained in one comment, whether that's an old comment or a fresh one.

Sign-up link form:
I'm still interested in late treats. <b>AO3 username:</b> <b>Sign-up link:</b>

For old participants, I have already extracted an updated list of your fandoms several days before this round started, and placed it into the spreadsheet. I have also tried to automatically scrape the list of fandoms in a way that reflects specifications in each user's comments. This includes: filtering out events ending after this round of LTB runs (i.e. events for which late treats are not yet possible); ignoring older events/requests if someone mentioned in their sign-up as only being in requests from [year] onward; removing specific fandoms a participant mentioned as not being interested in late treats for -- more info is available at the spreadsheet correction post. This automation isn't 100% reliable, however, so please do take a look at aforementioned spreadsheet and let me know if any corrections need to be made at the spreadsheet correction post.

Sign-ups close 24 December 23:59 PST (UTC-8).

Hi all! Just a heads up that Late Treat Bonanza 2024 (Year-End Edition) IS happening, but I am just running a bit late with it. Under normal circumstances, I would have liked to have posted the LTB info and sign-up posts by now, but I'm running into a few snags with my spreadsheets, which are more up to date, but also contain more errors/issues than I have time to correct manually. So I'll need a bit more time to fix up my scripts so that most of these errors can be fixed automatically.

So basically, LTB will be happening, with a deadline of 24 December, like last year. But sign-ups are not open just yet. I hope to have the spreadsheet issues fixed and sign-ups open within the next week!
