Worldbuilding Exchange will not be running in 2026

[wbv2mod]

Hi friends - after taking a hard look at our schedules and our commitments, the Worldbuilding Exchange v.2 moderators have decided that we don't have the capacity to run this exchange again this year.

While we won't rule out running another round in the future, at the moment we are not planning to do so. Anybody interested in running a Worldbuilding Exchange v.3 is welcome to pick up the baton! (And if you do so this year, please let us know, and we'll spread the word.)

Apologies, especially to those we had told we were going to run again this year.

We will miss you!

Oh, man, you'll be missed -- this was one of my favorite exchanges to do!

But take care!

[ermingarden]

Oh you’re breaking my heart! This was my favorite exchange every year - thank you so much for the wonderful time it’s been.

Thank you for the notice! This is so sad! Thank you for running it previously!

[greerwatson]

Thank you for telling us in advance, so we all have a chance to get used to the idea. This has always been a favourite exchange for me, in both its incarnations. I'm going to miss it! I do hope your schedules ease up enough for you to run it again in the future.

Thank you so much for running the rounds you did! I'm considering trying to pick up the baton; if I do, would it be alright if I re-used some of the rules/promo texts you've used previously?

[isis]

Sure, you are absolutely welcome to use the same rules if you like.

[mimihylea]

Thank you so much! For those interested: I've got a community page set up for v3 here: https://worldbuildex.dreamwidth.org !

[ermingarden]

Just want to say that I'd love to help out with a new round, if you could use the help!

[selenoclasm]

Like Ermingarden, I'd be interested in pitching in if you need help! I'd also been considering giving it a try, but very happy for someone else to take over instead.

I'm so sad to hear that. This is the second exchange I was monitoring that has been forced out by life this year (the other was Hurt/Comfort Exchange).

Please take care of yourselves, and I wish you the best.

Ah, that's regrettable, but understandable. Thank you for the notice about it, and for the effort you've put in to running the exchange.
