DETAILS UNDER CUT

NOMINATIONS:

There are four fandoms for this exchange: Imperial Radch, Provenance, The Raven Tower, and Crossover. Provenance is synned to Imperial Radch, and because of this, you might see your Provenance nominations get rejected; don’t worry, I’ll put them in manually. For Crossover, if you are crossing over a Leckie fandom with a non-Leckie fandom, please put the second fandom in parenthesis after the character. For example: “Breq & Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries)”.

You can nominate Characters and Relationships. Relationships can be romantic, indicated by a “/”, or platonic, indicated by an “&”. For example, “Breq/Murderbot” would indicate a romantic or sexual relationship, while “Breq & Murderbot” would be platonic.

We are a small and crazy fandom. There are some injokes and OCs in the tagset. Don’t worry about it. And if you want to nominate something weird & obscure, go for it.

If you miss the nomination deadline by a couple hours, just message me and I’ll reopen the tagset for you.

SIGNUPS:

You will need to make at least 3 requests, and 4 offers. For each request or offer, pick at least 1 fandom, 1 character, 1 relationship, and one medium from the dropdown tagset. You can group your requests however you like; you could make 3 individual requests, each with one character, or three requests each with 20 characters- up to you.

Iff you only want to receive or create solo character studies, request/offer that “None/None” relationship tag. If you only want to receive or create works based around worldbuilding, rather than characters, request/offer the “Worldbuilding” tag.

You don’t have to pick Characters that are in your Relationship tags, or vice versa.

The way the matching works, you will be matched with someone who used at least 1 of the same Character tags, 1 of the Fandom tags, 1 of the same Relationship tags, and 1 of the Medium tags as you. If you request both a Character tag and a ship tag with the same character, you may be matched with someone who wants to write the character, but doesn’t want to write that ship. And vice versa. That’s fine! The work you create only has to use one of the requested character OR relationship tags.

You can pick “Any” for both offers and requests! Just remember that really does mean “Any”, and be prepared. If you request Any Character or Any Relationship you could be matched with someone who wants to write ANY of the characters or relationships in the tagset.

If you’re fine with both Art and Fic, you can check off both boxes, or just pick “Any” for that section.

If there are things you very much Do Not Want in your gift, please list these in the Optional Details box for each of your prompts. For example: “DNW any appearances by spider mechs.” You are required to make a good faith effort to not include DNWs in your recipient’s gift.

You’re encouraged to give your gifter some prompts! You can put these in the Optional Details box, or paste a link to a letter into the URL box. Optional Details are Optional, and your creator isn’t bound to follow them, outside of the DNWs. Only DNWs in your signup are enforceable, so put them there, not just in a linked letter.

You are allowed to mention characters and ships that weren’t nominated in your optional details, but remember, your creator matched on the tags you chose and isn’t obligated to include anything else.

You can ask for NSFW, but your creator isn’t required to give it to you, so it would be polite to provide some NSFW prompts as well. If you are a minor, please do not request or create NSFW content for this exchange.

ASSIGNMENTS: everyone will get an email through their AO3 account once I’ve run matching. The email will have your assignment in it.

It’s possible there will be some people who won’t have anyone they could create for. I’ll email them through their AO3 email asking them to add more offers, and if they don’t respond in 24 hours, their signups will be deleted. If this happens to you and you don’t see my email in time, don’t panic! Just contact me and we’ll work something out. I don’t think this is too likely to happen, but just in case.

Please don’t tell your giftee who you are. If you have a question, let me know and I’ll convey it to them.

When you are creating your work, make sure you include at least one tag from at least one of your giftee’s requests, and don’t include DNWs. You only need to create one work, and it only needs to include one of the tags in your giftee’s signup.

DEFAULTING:

There’s no default deadline or anything. If you can’t finish your gift, no worries. Just click the “default” button on your assignment page. If the person assigned to you also defaults, you may not get a gift.

If you need an extension, just message me and let me know! If the posting deadline passes and you haven’t posted anything or contacted me, I’ll assume you’re defaulting.

If you’ve posted your gift, and your creator defaults their assignment, a pinch-hitter will create a gift for you. Everyone who posts a gift will get a gift.

POSTING:

Please post a finished work of 500 words or sketch on unlined paper by the posting deadline! You can continue to edit and add to your gift until the 18th, but you need to have something that could work as a gift by the 13th.

To post your gift, go to your Assignments page on AO3, and click the “Fulfill” button. Your gift will be automatically given to your giftee, but it will be hidden until the reveal date on the 18th.

REVEALS: Works will be anonymous for a week after they are revealed.

TREATS: Because we’re doing this on AO3, everyone’s requests will be visible, and treats are accepted and encouraged. If you see a request you like, you’re more than welcome to make a work that fits it, post it to the collection, and gift it to the person who made the request. Just make sure that it matches the tags in the request and doesn’t include any DNWs.

Please feel free to message me on Tumblr, ping me on Discord, or email me at [email protected] with any questions!
