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.

Now that sign-ups are closed, we are working on matching. It will take a little more time than usual since we need to edit some sign-ups to make the matching work properly. (See this post for more information.) However, we expect to be on track to send out assignments by July 27th, 11:55pm UTC.

We will put up another post once we've identified and emailed any unmatchable participants.

In the meantime, you can browse the app for requests or add onto the new promo post!

Countdown to close of sign ups


  • Sign up form
  • Bucket Offers/Requests spreadsheet - will continue to be updated until the close of sign ups
  • A few sign ups are still using the "Optional Tags" field for things other than fandoms as part of bucket requests/offers; please move any other information to the relevant other parts of the sign up form.

There are just over 2 days until sign ups close (countdown here).

We have now prepared the bucket requests/offers spreadsheet, which you can access with this link - we will keep this updated over the remainder of the sign up period.

In preparing the spreadsheet, it became apparent that a few participants are using the "Optional Tags" field for general descriptions of the type of works they would like to receive. In FGE, this is not the purpose of this field - it is only for use in making bucket requests/offers. Although AO3 will allow any tag to be chosen here, you should only put in the names of fandoms (as they appear in the tag set) for which you wish to request or offer any/all eligible relationships and characters (in conjunction with putting the special "Any Eligible Relationship or Character" tag in the Relationship field). Any other tags in the "Optional Tags" field cannot be taken as constituting part of your request (indeed, we may have to delete them to ensure matching runs smoothly); please express such preferences elsewhere in your sign up.

Thanks very much for your patience while we resolved the issues relating to "Any" requests/offers.

The solution we have come up with is to add a special Relationship tag - "Any Eligible Relationship or Character" - to the tag set which is not associated with any fandom. This means that it can be requested and/or offered for any fandom in the tag set. We have tested on a small dummy exchange and by leaving it unassociated people are able to match on their bucket offers and requests as well. If you are making a bucket offer or request, please ensure that you only include the "Any Eligible Relationship or Character" tag in the Relationship field.

Please note that the new tag will not appear in the drop down menu, so must be copied and pasted or typed exactly as it appears here:
Any Eligible Relationship or Character


We will take various steps to ensure that this ends up working as intended at the matching stage. Please do not use the "Any Relationship" tickbox in the request section of the form as this will complicate matching. (Unfortunately, we can no more turn this off at this stage than we can turn it on for offers.)

Please note that, as with the use of the "Any Relationship" tickbox previously, this tag does not mean that works can be created for relationships or characters that would otherwise be ineligible (i.e. where the AO3 tag contains 10+ complete works in English from 5+ creators).

We will edit the sign up instructions and various other relevant places to explain how this will work for this round. (Please note that this is a temporary fix and we intend to return to the normal way of working for future rounds.)

Thanks to everyone who has flagged up the issue with the lack of an "Any" option on the Sign Up form (which is preventing requests or offers for fandoms with no tags under them, and bucket requests/offers). We are working on a solution and will update this post once we've finalised it.

UPDATE: we have devised and tested a solution involving the addition of a tag to the tag set to take the place of the usual "Any Relationship" tickbox; please see here for full details.

Reminder: Don't forget to check out the Uncategorized Fandoms! Due to this being a rarity-focused exchange, we have many fandoms relegated to that section in the tagset because they haven't been canonized by AO3 yet.

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.

Please note:
  • You may edit your sign-up as much as you want until the deadline.
