Sign-ups are now open! They will remain open until June 4 at 11:59 PM EDT.
Countdown. Links:Sign Up Form Tag Set Sign Up SummaryRequests Summary Dear Creator Letters PostSign Up InstructionsPlease do not imply or outright state that you would prefer to receive one fandom you requested over another, or one ship you requested over another.
You are encouraged to only request/offer the fandoms/ships for which you would want to receive/produce a fanwork.
You may edit or delete your sign-up up until the sign-up period has ended.
Requests must include a minimum of three fandoms and may include as many as ten. Every fandom request must include at least one ship and may include up to forty. Relationships 1-20 go into the Relationship field. 21-40 goes into the Optional Tags field. The Optional Tags field will accept anything, but only tags that are identical to the tagset will be matched on. Any tags in the optional tags field that don't come from the tagset will be completely ignored by AO3's matching process and will be removed if noticed. You must request at least one medium—fanfiction, fanart, or fanvid—and you may request all three. You will match to a creator on one fandom, one ship, and one medium.
If a tag does not appear in the dropdown menu AO3 offers, copy and paste it from the tag set. (Note: If you cannot find a relationship you nominated, please check the posts in the
nominations tag on Dreamwidth. Your nominated tag may have been altered once approved, or after being approved, or the fandom name might have been changed, in accordance with the nominations guidelines given at the start of nominations.)
Your request includes an optional details box. This is where, if you so choose, you can specify what sorts of things you like, what things you don't like, and offer prompts for your creator. All of those details are optional, except for your “do not wants" (DNWs): your creator must abide by the list and not include them. You may also include a link to a letter, where you can include all the above, but your "do not wants" must still be included in the box. “Do not wants" which only appear in the letter cannot be enforced by the exchange.
Offers must include a minimum of three fandoms and may include as many as ten. Every fandom request must include at least one ship and may include up to forty. Relationships 1-20 go into the Relationship field. 21-40 goes into the Optional Tags field. The Optional Tags field will accept anything, but only tags that are identical to the tagset will be matched on. Any tags in the optional tags field that don't come from the tagset will be completely ignored by AO3's matching process and will be removed if noticed. You must offer at least one medium—fanfiction, fanart, or fanvid—and you may offer all three. You will match to a recipient on one fandom, one ship, and one medium.
If a tag does not appear in the dropdown menu AO3 offers, copy and paste it from the tag set. (Note: If you cannot find a relationship you nominated, please check the posts in the
nominations tag on Dreamwidth. Your nominated tag may have been altered once approved, or after being approved, or the fandom name might have been changed, in accordance with the nominations guidelines given at the start of nominations.)
After sign-ups end, matching will be run so that everyone has an assignment. If any creator is without a recipient, they will be contacted and given two days to alter their offers.
