Welcome to the 2020 hindsight post!
1. Did the scheduling work? How did reveals on Yuri's Night feel? This year was a little bit awkward scheduling-wise on my end – some of that was this year, but some will continue into the forseeable future. What do you think of the week-and-a-weekend timeline for nominations and signups? Looking at the calendars for 2021 and 2022 would give 5 weeks and some days between assignments and the deadline. The main method to get more would be to compress nominations and sign-ups into a smaller timespan. Do you think the tradeoff would be worth it? – Relatedly, was there any scheduling overlap with other exchanges that adversely affected your participation?
2. This was the first year Interactive Fiction was its own thing to match on – do you think the minimum creation requirements (
3. Relatedly, since there were multiple minimum creation requirement options for IF, do you think the ones for podfic should be adjusted from the current
4. Was there anything unclear in the instructions or rules?
5. Anything else you'd like to give as feedback?

2. This was the first year Interactive Fiction was its own thing to match on – do you think the minimum creation requirements (
1,000 words total OR 3 different endings) worked, or should they be adjusted?
3. Relatedly, since there were multiple minimum creation requirement options for IF, do you think the ones for podfic should be adjusted from the current
500 words of a new story, written and podficcedto
500 words of a new story, written and podficced OR podfic of an existing story 1,000 words long? I recall there was discussion of this a few years back but nothing came out of it.
4. Was there anything unclear in the instructions or rules?

I liked the timing. But I am a fan of shorter writing periods, in general, than some exchanges lend toward these days.
(I'm willing to talk about this privately too, as I know moderating an exchange that includes podfic is a little complicated!)

The way
In Unconventional Fanworks this year I'm going to link to FPS List and the Fanlore page of blanket permissions, which might also be a helpful resource for podficcers who might be new to a fandom or want to try and preserve a degree of anonymity.
2. I was very glad of the ability to match on IF, because I did and I had a great time creating it. The minimums seemed fine to me; in all honesty, I think it would be difficult to create something that didn't meet them and still had any substantial interactive elements.
Thanks for running this! I had a blast. (Task for this week: read the things in the collection that aren't my gifts.)
Nodnod. They'll stay for the next round. I'm glad you enjoyed making the IF!
