because i seriously wasn't anticipating any more sign ups, especially so close to the deadline, but it was an error in judgement and something that even a rookie mod shouldn't do, so i will reopen sign-ups and match late entries the best that i can, even if it includes contacting pinch-hitters or writing fic myself. it was a stupid mistake and i'm very, very sorry for it, and understand if it reflects poorly on myself and the exchange.
