Hey everybody

Who has all his fics in a row for exchanges? This guy.

I'm enjoying the lull before Trick or Treat exchange starts and then after that, Yuletide!

I'm going to a giant used booksale in the morning and then various meals with various family members who don't interact because of Reasons.

So I really wish I could fall asleep!

Well the first one was Alternate Universe Exchange (I founded it! I no longer run it. Morbane, who commented above, was the other founder! She also does not run it any longer) and while it has one of the most complicated sign ups (but less complicated than my original design) it's a great deal of fun, plotting wise! So I would say it is medium stress based on getting started and fulfilling expectations for the fic.

The other is Disney Animated Movie Exchange (DAME) which is run by me and it is low stress as it is a simple fandom + character match of a limited series of canons (animated disney films), all of which are short canon consumptions. I ended up with someone with compatible wants for their fic and was able to quickly finish.

EDIT: I actually realized the other one was Press Start, not AuEX! I finished AUeX weeks ago! But I put that effort into typing it anyway! So I'll pitch Press Start too!

Press Start has no involvement from me and is focused on videogames! So canon review, while fun by design, requires interaction and sometimes lots of skill and always time. So that puts it in medium to high stress for that section, but other than that it's a fandom + character match and 1000 word minimum with plenty of writing time. And the mod does a good job. So I would rate it at a medium to low stress exchange.
