I'm overworked and Ryo is hormonal (or I have questions and I would love to know your opinion)

So, my fic_the_faith fic is AMAZING! It's Maruda, an established one at that. Has some aweosme stuff, some really hilarious stuff, some breath taking stuff and some really really hot stuff. I like together fics but I love established equally as much, damn it, because that dynamic different and leaves me feeling really comfortable. So this was a very nice bonus. LOL this might be as long as my comment on it, and I fully intent to redeem that this weekend, but I needed to get it out again. I flailed just thinking about the fic today in the bus on my way to work. I was going to say I must have gotten really lucky with who wrote for me this year then I remembered I was there when matching people up. LOL. Good job me. (okay this might have sounded weird.)

I almost forgot to link the fic, so it is here

Anyway I've read a couple of fics posted so far just now and they are all amazing, so I am really happy. BUT it got me thinking. I want your opinion. Do you think 4 fics a day, 5 days of posting is a good solution? As in do you think maybe the posting should go slower?

I'm asking because this being a one group exchange, maybe I should reconsider the system for the future. I know people all like different stuff, so they may pick and chose, but I usually make exceptions for exchanges and venture even into pairings I would not read otherwise. Also people in this exchange have been amazing in mostly including the rest of the group so that is A LOT of KAT-TUN in quite intense doses. Not to mention there is several fics going well over 10k.

I know people get anxious about their fic, want the fics for them and things may feel like dragging if posting goes for too long, but maybe idek 6 or 7 days for 20 fics would be better. 3 fics a day? Would it make a difference? Would you read more, feel less overwhelmed if that happened. Tell me in comments. I would really appreciate it.

For the lazy people I have a poll.

I think the length should depend on the number of participants, but I definitely prefer having more fics per day and shorter posting times. If there are only a couple of fics, then it is disappointing if you don't want to read any of them, but if there are a lot, you have more to choose from. Since you can read the fics any time you want, I would rather have more to choose from up front and always wait to read them if I do not get around to it. I also get tired of seeing exchanges posting if they go on too long, which takes some of the fun out of it.

lol I nodded through most of the opinion posted on this, and so I don´t have anything smart to say other than thank you for telling me and taking this so seriously. Which it´s not that it wasn't because I REALLY wanted to know but it was impossible to compose the poll questions so by the last one I was just laughing through it . . . yeah, not relevant <3

I think this is perfect the way it is right now. That way there's a decent amount of pairings and stuff to choose from and people don't have to wait around getting antsy either, since waiting to find out whether or not your recipient likes your fic is really kinda nerve-wracking, right? XD; Also since there's always a break between the last fic posting and reveals, there's time to catch up on the ones you missed if you want too. I think 4-ish fics per day is a really nice number ♥

♥ the wait is excruciating >.> And thank you for telling me what you think, I really love reading all the involved answers.

I realize that some of my answers to question #1 are contradictory. I tend to stick to pairings or characters I like, but my friends have diverse interests and I will read other things that are not my favorites if someone mentions that it was good or even possibly if the header is in some way intriguing. It just usually takes some other impetus besides being posted in an exchange to get me to read something I wouldn't usually.

As far as how many days the posting should go on, to me it depends on a few factors including, but not limited to:

◊ number of participants
◊ time of year (like at times when it seems more people are busier, I would post fewer because I know they won't have the time to read more)
◊ whether it is an exchange, contest, or challenge (such as the contests that are conducted at shoneenclub where there could be any number of participants and generally the moderator posts all of the entries at once and gives people a week or so to vote)
◊ whether the exchange/challenge uses themes (such as if several teams are writing fics based on certain themes, I might choose only to post one of each theme per day)
◊ whether the exchange itself is themed 9such as je_holiday which posts for twelve days regardless of number
◊ length of fics (in modding jerainbowbridge I occasionally post fewer fics on days when some fics are multi-post because I want people to have the chance to read what has been posted)

All in all, I think it is up to the mod to judge how her participants will best react and what she is expecting people to get out of it. Either way, I rarely hear anything negative about posting strategies other than complaints about mods who post very erratically, so I think that fandom, or at least the parts of fandom that are vical to me, are fairly willing to accept whatever works best in the eyes of the mod.

No your answer to no. 1 makes complete sense. It was just hard to pose the poll questions.

also I totally am one of the people who gets annoyed with messy posting, so I understand that completely.

Thank you for the awesome answer. I mostly do consider all those things but it is interesting to hear. Plus I do think a group exchange is quite specific so I wondered what applied and what not . . .

My choices in number 1 basically means that I would read as many fics as I could stomach. XD There are other fests posting as well, and I tend to read ALL the fics posted, so 4 a day is a bit too much for me, unless the fics are all less than 3k words. XD This is, of course, if there's no time between the posts and the reveals. If there is (like a week), then posting 4 a day over 5 days should be enough time to comment without. But what do I know--I didn't join XD

[sashjun.livejournal.com]

lol it's not only participants and not only about kattun. You did Newsficon, right? and you do exchanges, so I wanted to know from public in general. That said, thank you for telling me <3

Btw did you give up on the pretties meme?

[zheinpathos.livejournal.com]

I... completely forgot :)) I was distracted. XD I'll resume it when I get back from work! (Totally still in the office, being ninja-like)
