It was the Coal of Times

It was the best of assignments, it was the worst of assignments, it was the age of gaming your offers, it was the age of forgetting to remove that one fandom from your offers, it was the epoch of treat writing, it was the epoch of apocapinch-hits, it was the season of fics of your dreams, it was the season of explicit DNW spitefic, it was the spring of hope that the anon in the comment above is writing for you, it was the winter of ars_belli is your author.

What did they do?

/not on Discord

They missed sign ups because they assumed they'd have Monday to work on it. Once they realized, they made a sad comment about it on the EAD Discord. No big deal, it happens.

Then they made sad comments about on the Yuletide Discord. Then they proceeded to keep making sad comments about it periodically on both Discord servers through to today-lamenting how disappointed they are, panicking about nabbing a PH so they can prompt for their own gift, worrying that no other exchanges are running that they can ask for their fandoms in, etc.

They seem to have finally taken a hint and have stopped for the time being.

Missed sign-ups (they'd apparently set aside all Monday to work on their sign-up), vented at great length in chat in increasingly off-topic ways, and also vented about the uncertainty of claiming a pinch hit to get a possible treat.
