Greetings! This is the feedback post. You may comment with your username or anonymously, as you wish.

This year saw a radical drop in sign-ups – 19 compared to 53 last year – so I would also like to hear from people who would have wanted to sign up/signed up last year but not this year on what kept you from signing up.

The Schedule – what did people think of the schedule and would people rather the exchange happen elsewhen in the year? Having all of my exchanges exactly in a row is a suboptimal situation and depending on how my co-mod's schedule looks next year, I'm considering moving CharactOR to some other time of year. Do people have preferences/suggestions?

I love this exchange's concept! I did not sign up this year because your nominations/sign-ups coincided with the writing/pinch-hit period of Heart Attack, wherein I was extremely burnt out (due to Heart Attack) and couldn't bear thinking about signing up for Something Else. So moving it to some other time would be helpful for that reason.

Yeah, I already delayed by a few weeks so I could do absolutely nothing until I was done with HA so I wouldn't be in full-on burnout mode. I was wondering what the participant overlap would be, but it seems you're not the only one. Would running the 2024 round before or after FiaB be better for the Triple Crown schedule in your opinion?

Before! (Or overlapping with FiaB noms/sign-ups, if there's overlap.) After FiaB, it's the end-of-year holidays, which always feels busy. [eta: also, post-FiaB is when people doing the whole 3c set are often like "FUCK I GOTTA ACTUALLY DO MY FFFX ASSIGNMENT NOW", I feel.]
