A treat is an optional work created for the collection. People who are not signed up for the exchange are welcome to create treats, as are participants.
Treats do not need to meet the same criteria as assignments. For example, the minimum word count for fic assignments is 1,000 words, but a treat can be fewer than 1,000 words. However, treats must still respect the recipient’s DNWs (Do Not Wants) and the mods will be checking each and every fanwork submitted to ensure that recipients’ DNWs are respected.
How do I post a treat?
While signed in on Ao3, go to Post->New Work.
From there, you can fill out the information as follows for your work down to this category: Post to Collections / Challenges? When you hit that, go ahead and type in the following: exchange_of_interest_2021.
If you are creating for a specific person’s prompts, be sure to giftthem the work!
What are pinch hits?
Pinch hits are any assignments that are not able to be matched by the mods during the initial matching phase, or any assignments where the creator is unable to finish before the deadline.
For all pinch hits, the mods are using a Google Group. When a pinch hit becomes available, the mods will send an email to the group with the request details. To claim the pinch hit, reply to the mod email ([email protected]) with your Ao3 username. Once it has been claimed, we will send out another email to update its status.
Unless we are past the deadline, pinch hits will be due at the same time as assignments.

Could melting ice cream become a thing of the past?
Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee have discovered a naturally occurring protein that could enable ice creams to keep frozen for longer in hot weather.
The protein binds together the air, fat and water in ice cream, creating a super-smooth consistency.
The protein which occurs naturally in some friendly bacteria could also be used to create ice cream with lower levels of saturated fat - and fewer calories - than at present.
This discovery could be hugely beneficial to manufacturers, who could benefit from a reduced need to deep-freeze their products.
1. Warm up the water until it is between 100°-115° F and add 1 teaspoon of sugar, and all the yeast. Stir and let sit for a few minutes. Yeast should activate.
2. Add the coconut oil, salt, 2 cups of flour, remaining coconut sugar, and stir until the mixture comes together. Add additional flour in ½ cup increments until mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead a few times until you form a smooth ball.
3. Combine the cinnamon + coconut sugar mixture. Dust the counter with more flour, and turn the dough ball out onto the floured surface.
4. Make dough rectangle about 12x16 inches. Spread melted coconut oil over the rolled out dough.
5. Sprinkle oil with cinnamon and coconut sugar mixture.
6. Starting at the long end closes to you, begin to (gently but tightly) roll the dough up into a log. You should get around 12 rolls.
7. Set somewhere warm for about 40 minutes. After 40 min, put in preheat oven to 350°F. Rolls should puff up and double in size. Bake them for about 15 minutes.
