Fandom Growth Exchange

Authors and artists have now been revealed! We hope that you enjoyed your gift and/or creating for your recipient. As this round wraps up, you may want to redate your works so that they appear near the top of the fandom/ship/character tag, if you hadn't already.

Take the time to make sure you've left a comment on your gift, and thanks to everyone for making this round possible!

Hello everyone! As of this post, there are about 15 hours remaining until works are revealed on November 17th, 4PM UTC (Countdown | What time is that for me?)

We hope you are all excited!

Hi all, unfortunately, reveals will be delayed one more week to November 10. We have six pinch hits, including one new one! Please comment on this post to claim; all comments are screened. In your comment, please clearly indicate which pinch hit you are interested in and your AO3 username. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out, and thank you to the amazing pinch hitters who have stepped up so far.

Note that some of these contain bucket requests, which may be easy to miss if you are viewing the request on AO3, and which do not appear in the app. A request for "Any Relationship" means any tag nominated under the fandom in the tagset.

These assignments are due no later than Thursday, November 9th, 4PM UTC, 24 hours before the collection is scheduled to be revealed at its new time. (Countdown | What time is that for me?)

• Art requirements: You must submit complete art—sketches are not permitted. Art must be a minimum of lineart with basic colors/tones as well as background OR two lineart drawings. Lineart may not stand alone as a gift without colors/tones/background. Art may be traditional or digital, but cannot be drawn on lined paper. Manips and other graphics are not permitted.
• Fic requirements: You must submit complete fic. Fic must be a minimum of 2,000 words and must stand on its own.

We are still waiting for responses from a few unmatchable participants. If your username starts with S, M, or K, please check the email associated with your AO3!

We'll give a few more hours, until 7PM UTC (Countdown), before we have to delete the sign-ups of those who don't respond.

Hello everyone! This is just a reminder that sign-ups are closing in less than 24 hours, on August 13th, 4PM UTC (Countdown | What time is that for me?)!

Remember to check out the sign-ups post for important links, as well as the promo post!

Sign-ups close August 13, 4PM UTC (Countdown | What time is that for me?).

Sign-up Form | Bucket Offers/Requests | App for Browsing Requests | Tagset

If you're new to exchanges, this guide will walk you through signing-up. You can also read this tutorial from AO3. If you have any questions, comment below. This guide also explains how bucket offers and requests work!

Please note:

• You may edit your sign-up as much as you want until the deadline.
• Requests will be visible throughout (and after) sign-ups.
• Some tags may not appear in the drop-down menu but can still be used by copy and pasting from the tag set itself.
• If you encounter any problems during your sign up, please let us know ASAP; AO3 bugs can sometimes hit exchanges.
• AO3 limits the number of relationships you can request/offer per fandom to 20. In order to make sure participants can still request/offer up to 20 relationships as well as up to 20 characters in one fandom, you can repeat a fandom once: that is, you can use up to 2 slots for each fandom. You must still have the minimum number of unique fandoms (3 requests and 4 offers). If you repeat a fandom, the tags used must be different: you cannot repeat characters or relationships under the same fandom.
