Folks, November is fast approaching. As a reminder, we now are down to around 2 weeks before the deadline.

One thing we make a point of doing during this exchange is to try to encourage everyone to make treats. Since this is a rare pair competition, many of us don't get to see our favorite couples update much through the rest of the year.

As mods, we try to make it easy on people to write treats. Check out the sidebar for the guide on how to post them (updated for this year), and please check out our brand new treats spreadsheet!

If a name is in bold, it already has at least one treat. Let's see if we can get everyone two works waiting for them on November 21st!

Document may change as people come/go before sign ups close tonight. Signs up close at 11:59PM EDT. Countdown clock will be posted when your friendly neighborhood mod has a chance to get to an actual computer.

Thanks to Zoetrope on the discord for doing the hard work of compiling this; she is truly the internet MVP, more precious than cat videos and fanart of your OTP combined.
