Sign-ups now open!
Sign-ups close Sunday, August 23 at 11:55 PM UTC Monday, August 24 at 11:55 AM UTC. (What time is that for me?)
If you're new to exchanges, this guide will walk you through signing-up. You can also read this tutorial from AO3.
Please note:
Submit a minimum of 3 requests, with a maximum of 10 requests.
For each request, you must select:
You may choose to request ONE relationship twice. However, the second request will not count toward your required minimum.
Additionally, the second request must come from a different continuity than the first. (For example, you may request Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers from Marvel 616 and from Marvel Cinematic Universe, but you cannot request the relationship for Marvel Cinematic Universe and Ant-Man. We will be checking these!)
To request a fandom/relationship, begin typing. A drop-down list of available fandoms/relationships will appear. Sometimes, a tag does not appear on the drop-down list. If this happens, you can copy/paste from the tagset. Please note that you can only list fandoms/relationships that appear in the tagset. (You may only request a relationship that does not appear on the tagset by choosing "Any relationship" for a fandom with no nominated relationships.)
Use the Additional Tags field to choose what type of gift you would like to request. You may choose fanart, fanfiction, or both.
Use the Optional Details field to list likes/dislikes, kinks/triggers, prompts, and why you love a fandom or relationship. This field gives your artist/author what you're hoping to receive.
You may choose to write a Dear Artist/Author letter. Like the Optional Details field, these letters provide additional info for your artist/author, but letters can be longer. If you write a letter, copy the URL to the space provided on the form. You can also share a link to your letter here.
Submit a minimum of 4 offers, with a maximum of 10 offers.
For each offers, you must select:
You may choose to offer ONE relationship twice. However, the second offer will not count toward your required minimum.
Additionally, the second offer must come from a different continuity than the first. (For example, you may offer Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers from Marvel 616 and from Marvel Cinematic Universe, but you cannot offer the relationship for Marvel Cinematic Universe and Ant-Man. We will be checking these!)
To offer a fandom/relationship, begin typing. A drop-down list of available fandoms/relationships will appear. Sometimes, a tag does not appear on the drop-down list. If this happens, you can copy/paste from the tagset. Please note that you can only list fandoms/relationships that appear in the tagset. (You may only offer a relationship that does not appear on the tagset by choosing "Any relationship" for a fandom with no nominated relationships.)
You may choose to make ONE bucket offer. Keep reading to learn more about bucket offers and how to make them.
Use the Additional Tags field to choose what type of gift you would like to offer. You may choose fanart, fanfiction, or both.
A bucket offer is a group of fandoms for which you're willing to create a gift for absolutely any of the nominated relationships.
To make a bucket offer, list one fandom in the Fandom field, as you would a regular offer, then select Any Relationship. In the Optional Tags field, list the rest of the fandoms you're offering.
Spelling and spaces matter, so click the button that says List 651 fandoms and copy/paste your fandoms from the list.
This video also explains bucket offers. Begin viewing at 12 minutes, 30 seconds.
You may choose to request/offer Any Relationship. If a fandom has nominated relationships, choosing "Any" only applies to those relationships.
If a fandom has no nominated relationships, choosing "Any" applies to all relationships that meet the guidelines for the exchange.
