Re: Can anyone tell which was the assignment and which was the treat?

It also sucks when that treat doesn't actually meet the minimum requirements but the mods turn it into your main gift anyway rather than send you out for pinch hits. Now you have one thing, it's labeled as a treat, and your treat writer assumed you'd be getting something else so they weren't worried. Either you turn them in, and risk getting someone else in hot water for posting something that should have gone to Madness in the main collection, all for wanting to give you what they thought was an extra little fun treat, or you suck it up and say thanks and basically go without a gift that fills your request.

Mods could solve a lot of problems by emailing the treat writers and asking like they do in other exchanges.

Or people could put treats that don’t meet the minimum requirements for a main gift in the Madness collection, like they’re supposed to. If you don’t want your treat to become a main gift, and also don’t want to wait to post it until the recipient already has a main gift, there’s a specific place for you to post it so it will definitely stay a treat!

Coalie, you can't email someone if their only interaction with your collection is posting a work. You don't have their email address.

NC If it's someone signed up, the mods have the email.

Also mods share way more info than they should. If you've ever done an exchange, they can see that, DM the mod of that exchange on the mod discord, and get your email that way.

Ummmm I do not think that is common practice.

If someone asks me for the email of a person who signed up to my exchange one time, I'm going to tell them to fuck off.

Yuletide mods do insane shit all the time.

I have no proof that they don't!

But also, not what was claimed, impossible to disprove.

It's also against the AO3 TOS.
