Late Treat Bonanza

All creators have now been revealed and the 2024 LTB collection is now closed for posting. Thank you to everyone who made someone a late gift, and I hope everyone enjoyed their surprise gifts! I know I did! :D

I'll see everyone again in late March for the next round of Late Treat Bonanza, Mid-Year edition.

Also, just a note that I will probably be switching both the spreadsheet and sign-up form to only use this "grouped by fandom" view of the Auto AO3 App (e.g. https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything/username/chacusha?groupby=fandom) rather than the "reverse chronological" view of the app (e.g. https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything/search/user/chacusha). If you prefer having a link to the chronological view in the spreadsheet or in sign-ups too, let me know, but otherwise, I will just switch over to using the grouped-by-fandom view.

See you in March!

All creators have now been revealed (aside from those who chose to remain anonymous) and the collection is now closed for posting. Thank you to everyone who participated who made this event a success!

I will be running Late Treat Bonanza again next year with the same timing. However, I am also wondering if people would be interested in a second round in the (northern hemisphere) summer before then, or if people would prefer just one such event per year. Poll:



For those who are interested in a second event per year, let me know if you have any suggestions about the exact date to use for reveals. Also, please let me know if you have any other feedback or suggestions for improvement. I am aware that it would be good to have a quicker way of finding out who has signed up and to be able to search through the fandoms/details of users who have signed up -- next time I will try to set up a spreadsheet to help with this (time permitting).

Edit: The poll results indicate a pretty clear preference, so I'll be doing a Mid-year Bonanza on the following schedule:

Works due end of 23 June.
Anon period 23-30 June.
Creator reveals/collection closes beginning of 1 July.

The sign-up/creation period will last at least 3 months so I will get things going again sometime in March.
