2022 Sign-Ups are Open! - Now Closed

[morbane]

Sign-ups are now closed.

SIGN UP HERE - available until February 16th, 11:59 PM Wednesday CST. (When is that?)

You can request 4-10 tales from the tag set and must offer 4-10 tales as well. You can also specify the characters (1-6) you’re interested in writing or receiving (if characters were nominated for that tale). If you tick 'Any' instead of specifying characters, that means you’re open to writing or receiving any of the nominated characters for that canon. Ticking 'Any' is also how you request or offer a canon with 0 characters nominated.

You will receive a story that concerns at least one of the tales you asked for and one of your requested characters. You can select several characters for a tale, but your author only has to include one. This is known as 'Or' matching.

If you want, you can use the Optional Details in the form, or a linked letter, or both, to talk about your preferences for a request and what interests you about the tales. Your author may use these details for inspiration, but does not have to follow them closely. If there are elements that would ruin a story for you, please list them in the form, for each request, as Do-Not-Wants. Every author must follow those.

Notes to Mods, in the Offers section of the form, allows you to tell us more about how you'd like to be matched. (Would you prefer to write something shippy, or horror? Do you secretly have one request you especially hope you get matched on?) You can leave these sections blank, but if you enter preferences here, we'll try to accommodate them.

NEW THIS YEAR AO3 has just announced a new feature which will be rolled out soon, perhaps during sign-ups. Going forward, AO3 users will be able to disable the option to receive most gifts, and new accounts will be set up with this option disabled by default. This is an anti-harassment feature for users who have previously received unwanted and unpleasant "gifts", or for users who are concerned they might get them in future.

What this means for the exchange: if you choose to disable the ability to get extra gifts, please let us know (by notes to mods, or by email). We assume that if you sign up to this exchange, you are interested in the possibility of getting treats for your requests. So if you use this setting, we need to know so we can help potential treaters give you gifts.

The canons for this year if you want to reread or try a whole new canon!


And if you’d like to see what people asked for in the past...
