First, an announcement: [livejournal.com profile] guineamania has hit a rough patch and has had to withdraw from modding Space Swap for the forseeable future. Good luck, guineamania.

Now, the questions:
  • Did the scheduling work? Was there enough time in every phase? Too much? Not enough?
  • Were the sign-up instructions clear?
  • Did you have any problems with nominations? What was your opinion on the character-relationship-worldbuilding system used?
  • Anything else you'd like to tell us?

A change that will be made: we'll have a reminder to re-date works at reveals. Also, the schedule will probably be a week or two earlier in the year, though we'll only work it out properly come January.

I was unable to participate because of the timing. The deadline, etc. fell right during the end of the semester crunch period.

I gather re-dating will be optional?

Would the end period being two weeks earlier help?

Re-dating will be optional – only work creators are able to re-date. (It's only really necessary for fast-moving fandoms, where many pages' worth of works may appear in the week between the due date and reveals, and authors lose out on tag-browsing folks.)

I know a lot of US colleges and universities have a semester end right around the end of April/first weeks of May, so possibly? I'm done for a bit, so it won't affect me next year, but adjusting to an earlier schedule might get more bodies overall.

Scheduling was fine for me. I felt like there was LOADS of time for a mere 1000 words, but as someone who is excessively busy, this is a perk, not a downside. :)

I thought the sign-up instructions were pretty clear.

One snag I hit early on is that the story I wanted to tell wasn't set in outer space, and I wasn't sure whether that was actually okay. Maybe that could be clarified for next year—whether space is just the theme for the fandoms or also the theme for the works.

There was definitely enough time to get the work done. As mentioned before, I think the week of anon after reveals is a bit excessive- there aren't as many works to pore through as say, Yuletide.

I was one of those annoying people used to nominating with canonical tags- sorry for the trouble! m(_ _)m It was fine after I read the reminder.
I'm not sure if the tags are a little wonky now because of the nomination system though? When I click on the tags on my work or my Gift work, they only direct to the fic in the Space Swap collection instead of across all AO3.
