STATUS: OPEN



SIGN UP HERE - sign-ups are open until Wednesday, February 26th, 11:59 PM 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 select characters in each offer and request (up to 6 choices). In a request, if you tick 'Any' for characters instead of choosing some, that means you're leaving the choice of characters up to the author. In an offer, if you tick "Any" for characters instead of choosing, it means you’re willing to write about any of the nominated characters for that canon; if you receive a request with a specific character, write that character.

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 in one request, but they are different options, not a group. 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.

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 - it's up to the person you matched with. Ticking 'Any' is also how you request or offer a canon with 0 characters nominated.

Treat settings - last year, AO3 gave users a new feature to block gifts other than those given through an exchange assignment or prompt claim. New accounts are set up with extra gifts disabled by default. This is an anti-harassment feature for users who have previously received unwanted and unpleasant "gifts"-that-aren't, or for users who are concerned they might get them in future.

In exchanges such as Once Upon a Fic, treats are common, but the new feature makes it hard to know if someone would like treats or has treating turned off. Because of this, please say in your requests if you are happy to receive treats, and so you have extra gifts enabled in your settings. (That is, in your AO3 preferences, the box next to "Allow anyone to gift me works." is ticked.) That helps to give treat creators confidence when browsing prompts.

Similarly, if you choose not to enable extra gifts, please let us know (by notes to mods, or by email, or by saying in your requests that you are not open to treats). It is okay to either disable or enable extra gifts, but more information helps everyone.

And here again are sources for the canons for this year, if you want to reread or try a whole new canon!

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.

Countdown

Sign up at the collection!

We're excited to see the sign-ups that have already come in. You can add prompts and/or link to a letter until sign-ups close, if you want.

A note about DNWs: if you have a Do-Not-Want that overlaps with something that happens in canon (death and violence are common ones), please give guidance to your author about how to handle it while creating a story you'll enjoy.

EDIT: It appears we're being hit by the character glitch! If a character that is *definitely* in the tagset is not appearing in the drop-down on the sign up form, go to the tag set, find their tag, and copy/paste it exactly into the character area. That should allow it to be added.
