Space Swap 2019 clonks into motion! I will be quite busy in mid-January, but the fandom pimping post will go up then, and the franchise wrangling post a week or so before noms open. I do also aim to go through the info and rules posts and see if there's anything that could be clarified or expanded upon. (This exchange's DNW-prevention policy is that mods will randomly spot check gifts for DNW presence, and participants should contact mods for emergency pinch hit arrangement if they find they still have a gift with a DNW. This should likely be enshrined ) The numbers for nominations, offers, and requests will remain the same unless objected to.

Schedule:
Nominations start: 25 Jan 19:00 EET in your timezone | countdown
Nominations end: 3 Feb 19:00 EET in your timezone | countdown
Sign-ups start: 8 Feb 19:00 EET in your timezone | countdown
Sign-ups end: 17 Feb 19:00 EET in your timezone | countdown
Fics due: 11 Apr 19:00 EEST in your timezone | countdown
Reveals: 18 Apr 19:00 EEST in your timezone | countdown
Author reveals: 25 Apr 19:00 EEST in your timezone | countdown


This would be similar to last year's schedule, including having a deadline a few days before that other exchange commonly abbreviated as SS – smutswap. The alternative is having everything a week later, but that would be less convenient for me for handling the nominations.
