This is a community for Silver Queen's Naruto fanfiction Dreaming of Sunshine. We really really like it! This community is most often used for the Dreaming of Sunshine exchange, but other people can post here — posting rules are on the comm profile. You can also talk to us on the Heliocentrism discord server.

I've been too busy this round to do stats, unfortunately, but thank you all for your wonderful contributions! The collection will stay open for treating at least until the next round opens, at which point I might close the collection to prevent confusion. Please feel free to write late treats!

Also, please remember to add your works to the Heliocentrism collection! The wider fandom uses it to keep track of new fic.

Anyway, for this post I'm really interested in feedback from you all about the exchange and what you liked and didn't like and if anything was confusing and etc. It can be really helpful for the next round! Right now I will tell you some stuff about the next round(s):

  • I still intend to run this twice a year unless you all start telling me you hate having it twice a year.
  • This winter/spring I'm running a gen freeform exchange that reveals in early May.
  • I will probably start nominations around when that exchange ends, then we'll run through the summer -- May, June, and into July probably!
  • Then I'll take a little break and we'll come back and do a 2020 Winter Round which I think will start a little later and end a little later than before — we'll start nominations in early or mid November instead of late October and we won't end until the end of January.


Currently the plan is to have basically exactly the same rules and minimums and nominations as we did this round, but I would be open to making one of these rounds a freeform exchange if there's interest. I would also be willing to up the minimums for one round a year, although I suspect you guys won't be about that.

So basically...do you like this format? Do you want to actually match on freeforms? Do you want longer minimums? Do you have any other feedback?

(Freeforms matching, btw, means you all would get to nominate fairly specific additional tags and match on them. Then your gift would have to have one of the additional tags you selected. There are benefits to this, obviously, but also downsides.)
