Reveals 2018
It's been quite the NinoEx season, for your mod and many others. Sorry for the mess yet again, and thank you for making it through till the end with me! The enthusiasm of all of the participants and readers means the world to me.
Of course, I'd like to extend the usual special thanks to my beta folks, and to my two illustrious pinch hitters this year:amh1988 and selvage, without whom this exchange would not have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Okay, that's enough, time for the goods.
I'm highly considering making the transition to AO3 next year. Last year when I ran a poll on Twitter, it hadn't seemed like a hugely popular choice (though there were some participants who were very adamant about it, as many people are starting to shift to doing fic things exclusively on AO3). It loses some of the formatting customization within posts, but as an exchange platform, I think it automates and simplifies a lot of the issues that end up causing delays (manual posting, timing, formatting fixes, etc.). It's also better equipped to handle long, multi-part stories because it has a chaptering function built in. The kicker is that (from what I can tell) there's much less wiggle room for late submissions, so we'd all have to be on our A-game and committed to being on time for this to work.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Nah bruh stick to DW? I plan to be here curating the annual Nino party for as long as people want it, so let me know what I can do to make it better. Hope to see you again next year! :3.
