Sign-Ups are Open!

[rfemod]

Sign-Ups are now open! They will remain open until December 27th, 10PM PST. [Countdown to sign-ups closing] [In Your Timezone]

The rules are here, which will have additional information about the exchange and its requirements.

You must be 18+ to participate in this exchange. Only one sign-up per person.

An AO3 account is required to participate. If you need an AO3 invite, please reach out via email.

Requests:

You can request a minimum of 3 unique fandoms with a maximum of 10 fandoms, with 1-10 ships and a choice of fiction, art, or both.

There is a known bug with AO3 where the ship may be in the tagset but might not appear in the drop-down option. If that is the case, copy the ship from the tagset, paste it into the box (press enter afterwards), and AO3 should accept it.

You can edit/delete your sign-ups until sign-ups close.

If a sign-up does not include the required number of fandoms, it will be deleted when sign-ups close.

Optional details can be added in the box provided- you can list your likes/do not wants and put prompts for your creators. This will give your creator a better picture of what you would/wouldn't enjoy but they are optional.

Please note that you cannot use the likes/do not wants to box your creator into making one certain type of work.

Please make sure you list your do not wants clearly within the 'optional details' section. We will not be upholding do not wants in the instance where one is violated if the do not wants are not clearly stated and are unreasonable. Do not wants in letters will not be upheld if there is a violation in the fanwork you receive.

If you're requesting more than one ship, please do not express preferences for one fandom/ship over the rest in your optional details and/or letter. Your creator will be matching to any of the fandoms you select, so please make sure you request fandoms and ships you'd be happy to receive a fanwork for!

If you're open to treats, please make a mention of this in the optional details of your sign-up. You're welcome to request only art and opt into fic treats and visa versa (as well as opt into both). You are also welcome to opt out of treats. Please remember stating you're open to treats does not guarantee you a treat.

There is a space to leave a link to your letter as well. Letters are optional, but should you link to a letter, please complete it as soon as you can to give your creator the maximum amount of time to work on your gift.

All fandoms and ships requested and offered in this exchange must be chosen from those nominated into the tagset.

You will match based on one fandom, ship, and medium.

If there aren't any offers that match your requests, you will go out for claiming as an initial pinch hit.

Pinch hits will be posted after assignments are sent out.

Offers:

You must offer a minimum of 3 unique fandoms with at least 1 ship. You can offer a maximum of 10 offers and 10 ships per offer.

You can offer a choice of art, fic, or both.

You will be matched on the fandom, ship, and the medium offered.

If for some reason that you are not matched to what you offer, please contact the mod immediately. That will be the only reason that we will change your assignment after they are given out.

If there aren't any requests that match your offers, the mod will contact you at the email address associated with your AO3 account to see if there is anything else you can offer. If you do not reply within 24 hours, or there is nothing else you can offer, your signup will be deleted.

Additional Information:

'Do not match requests' will be accepted for this exchange from now until sign-ups close.

If you wish to not match to a participant, please email rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com letting us know your AO3 name, the AO3 name of the participant you would like to not be matched to, and what you would like us to do in the instance where you are their only match as a creator, you are their only match as a recipient, and you are a pinch hit. We don't need to know the reasons for this request. We'll do our best to uphold your request.

Please do not use this as an opportunity to try and match to a specific creator.

Commenting are mandatory for this exchange so please remember that if you are signing up, you are expected to comment on your gift to participate in the next round. If you signed up for the last round and didn't comment by the time nominations opened, you will not be eligible to participate this round.

If your sign-up breaks any of the above rules or is found to be in bad faith, the mods may contact you. We hold the right to delete your sign-up without warning if we find that you're acting in bad faith.

Any questions or comments can be left here (anon is on, screening is not) or emailed to the mods at rarefemslashexchangemod@gmail.com.
