i should.t have to find out on Twitter that we have a second unannounced checkin for this exchange if mids don't email letting people know i will be pissed. sorry but i never check lj comms for updates, you have my email you use it.

but am close to dropping out of the ex hange just bc mods have pissed me off so much.

[(Anonymous)]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THIS CHECK IN i don't understand why they can't stick to the dates they already posted i don't understand how this helps them figure out that we're still involved i don't understand why projected word count matters one bit i don't understand why these mods are so fucking useless

[(Anonymous)]

please someone else handle any/all vixx exchanges/secret santas in the future. i am completely tempted to drop out just because i've had such angry feelings over how this exchange has been run from the beginning. :/

y'all pls don't drop out though :( we can all band together in our mod hate but i don't want to have to pinch hit for this shit lmao

i really hate dropping out of things, so no worries. just my rage speaking. :*

good ;A; i am going to have a hard enough time producing one 3k fic for a group i am mostly new to but i always end up pinch hitting because i feel guilty cries

[(Anonymous)]

same about dropping out. don't the mods realize this isn't howyou encourage fic in a small fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

i'm actually pretty satisfied with how the mods ran this thing? then again i came from a dark place called the infinitebigbang, lol. the first post in the comm mentioned a second check-in, just that the mod was busy and only posted it now.

[(Anonymous)]

but what's the point of a second check in? a lot of things about this challenge don't make much sense, i.e. the long ass time span of the exchange and the way too high word count for such a new/small fandom. plus the mods made some questionable tweets regarding the challenge/choosing assignments at the beginning which was just... dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

ty for explaining what i meant anon lol

[(Anonymous)]

it basically operates like a first check-in? since the first check-in was...well. i agree with you, but this is a moderately well-managed competition imo? it beats waiting months for reveals and pestering the mods, at least. and apparently it's pretty common for mods to disappear for months entirely. so all i'm sayin' is, this could have been way worse than it is rn.

[(Anonymous)]

how on earth does this check in serve any purpose though? projected word count....what does that have to do with anything? if they had asked us to email drafts to confirm we were working on it i would have no problem with that but this seems like a pretty useless way of ensuring that people are still participating and you have to admit that a lack of email contact is not good modding

[(Anonymous)]

okay? if that's what you think. happy writing, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

even if the mods are your friends or something anon, you should be able to take criticism on their behalf...

[(Anonymous)]

why are you making this a personal attack, anon. i think i already know who you are, lol.

you're right, but i can't be bothered to care about all the flaws in this competition because as long as i get to write my fic and it gets published within a reasonable time frame, i'm good.

[(Anonymous)]

my problems with them so far:

- unnecessary wankiness that was supposed to be a cute joke
- complaining about people's sign ups on their twitters
- not emailing people about the check ins
- the format of the check ins
- the word count minimum
- the ambiguity of the rules

[(Anonymous)]

i'm not a part of this exchange but i don't really think twitter should be used as a means of communication for an exchange. email/posts to the lk community first and then twitter advertising last. mainly bc not everyone in the exchange follows the mods account/knows they exist. if you're a mod and you have maybe have half the people in the exchange following your account then by all means advertise, but you're not really reaching your target audience because you're leaving people out you know?
twitter always makes me cringe when i'm searching about exchanges and find a mod's account talking about stuff....i just sort of wish the bts stuff was kept more private than over twitter

[(Anonymous)]

that's the thing the mids didn't make an announcement on twitter. other people were mentioning it. and i know i read the rules when i signed up and i only remember one check in bc it wad so early.

[(Anonymous)]

oh i see i thought the mods or something just sprung a 'everybody check in soon' post to their followers. it can't be that hard to write a 50 word email a week or so in advance though idk

[(Anonymous)]

they did. just to their own tlist. i think it was feiling who posted it?

which really is further proof that their mentality towards this exchange is that it's for their friends by their friends.

[(Anonymous)]

well that's sucky and alienating...even if other authors didn't know :c

[(Anonymous)]

yeah i searched vixx exchange to see if i'd missed anything and that's the only notice of the check in saw.

[(Anonymous)]

that i saw*

[(Anonymous)]

i wonder how many people dont check in then bc they didn't about another check in

[(Anonymous)]

that's a good question and something that could've been easily avoided.....if they'd just emailed us
