What should I do?Be kind and leave kudos/a comment on your gift, even if the style of it isn't your cup of tea. Creators of all levels are permitted, so be cognizant of that, and that someone went out of their way to make something for you. We have rules in place for comments, but unfortunately, we can't force people to comment a certain way.💎I’m not going to make the submission deadline. What should I do?You should default, meaning drop the exchange on AO3 or notify a mod you can't continue. There are no consequences for doing so. There is a 24-hour grace period allotted the date after assignments are due. However, default prior on or before the assignment due date if you're not sure you'll finish in those 24 hours.
