arashi_exchange | Hello lovely participants <3

Hello everyone!! <3

This is a short important notice to all of you:

1) If you still need a beta and are freaking out about that, write us ASAP - we won't leave you hanging ^_^

2) If you can't get in contact with one of our betas after we gave you the contact dates, write us a message. Also then, we'll find another solution for you.

....

3) Here it gets very difficult for us and though we didn't want to, now we just have to address this issue.
For all of you, who are working so hard to deliver a fic, we want this to go smoothly and that all of you get an awesome fic. A huge sincere thank you to all of you. You are awesome <3
Unfortunately we had a few last-minute drop outs by now. We understand that RL can be a bitch sometimes, but it's been over three months since we sent out the assignments - so, please only drop out if there really is some major stress happening in RL!
As I said, we do understand that sometimes unfortunate things can happen, there are always things we can't avoid - this, of course, we understand and we won't complain about!
But if you want to drop out because of a lack of inspiration etc, please talk to us first. We'll help you through that with whatever you need.
So, for all of you who feel unsure and wary about finishing their fics, please remember something important: Pinch-hitters are there to write a fic last minute. These are fics that have to get written in a very short time. Almost hasty. The outcome is often unpredictable. You don't want this to happen to your own request, am I right? So please, also don't let it happen to someone else!

So, if you are having any problems, please share them with us NOW, not next week on the date of the deadline. If you need an extension for writing, that's fine, but tell us! There is no problem at all for us to delay deadline/posting for one week.
