Creator Reveals & Wrap-Up
Aug. 15th, 2020 10:00 pmkallowayCreators have been revealed! Thank you again to everybody who participated, especially our many talented pinch hitters!
The collection, along with all previous collections, will remain open for any additional treats.
There will be no further wrap-up post; this was the final year for Parallels.
The decision to end here was not an easy one, however it was what I feel best serves the community. There are many reasons for it, including the increasingly full exchange calendar and also some that hit a little closer to home.
Thank you again for the last three years!

Gifts Have Been Revealed!
Aug. 8th, 2020 10:00 pmkallowayGifts have been revealed!
Please remember to thank your creator for your gift and check out the rest of the collection at your leisure. If there are any issues with your gift, such as not containing the requested fandom/characters or containing a stated DNW, please let me know ASAP.
If you were working on a treat that didn't quite get finished before reveals, it is still welcome in the collection. While creators will be revealed next Saturday, the collection will remain open for treats indefinitely.
(Creators may want to edit and adjust the date on their works to today's date since they will not automatically appear on the newest page for their given fandoms and may, depending on fandom, appear multiple pages back. Creators for new-to-AO3 fandoms may also want to temporarily add their work to 'Undisclosed Fandom' so that their work is findable on the collection's Fandoms page until the actual fandom is canonized.)

This means--
- DO NOT add your work to a Series
- DO NOT link to your social media
- DO NOT give your username in the notes
You may do these things after the exchange has ended, on August 15th.

There are nominations for both 黄金の太陽 | Golden Sun Series and 黄金の太陽 開かれし封印 | Golden Sun itself with most of the same characters. Should these be merged or left separate?
