Entry tags:

Signups are open!

Signups are open here! Go forth and request fic!

As you do, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules and the FAQ. Please let us know if they need any clarification. You can comment here or shoot us an email if you have any questions.

There are more details at the FAQ, but here are the basics:

You’ll request between 4 and 10 fandoms, with between 1 and 20 characters or relationships and between 3 and 20 genre tags per fandom.

You’ll offer between 5 and 10 fandoms, with between 1 and 20 characters or relationships and 3 and 20 genre tags per fandom.

Characters and relationships will both be in the Characters field, and you’ll receive a story focused on any one of the items you select in that field.

If you'd like a story about Character A, select Character A in this field. If you'd like a story about either Character A or Character B, select Character A, then select Character B.

If you'd like a story about Character A and Character B in a romantic or sexual relationship, select Group: Character A/Character B. If you'd like a story about Character A and Character B in a gen relationship, select Group: Character A & Character B.

You'll be matched to a recipient who requested at least one of your offered fandoms and at least one of the offered characters or relationships in that fandom. However, you can choose to write a story in any one of your recipient’s requested fandoms, focused on any one of the items (character or relationship) they requested for that fandom, even if you didn’t offer it.

The genres in the Additional Tags are intended to give a general sense of what kind of story you’d like to read or write for a given fandom. We’re going to attempt to assign offers and requests that share a genre. If that results in too many initial pinch hits, AO3’s matching code will still prioritize matches by genre.

Here is the full tag set!

Also, could the nominator for Group: Rosa Diaz/Chelsea Peretti please confirm what they mean by this ship? Our understanding is that Chelsea Peretti is the actress for Gina Linetti on Brooklyn Nine-Nine so we're confused as to what you intend this ship to be. Thank you!

Potentially stupid question, but: Are there any rules for treats (word count minimums, posting dates, etc.)?

This exchange looks great, and I'm looking forward to signing up. Thank you!

I'm curious about this as well.

Why so many fandoms? This is always a problem in pan-fandom challenges. I have two fandoms, both of them are large enough to support a pool of creators, and yet I have to offer and request four???

So, alas, once again, this challenge will not be for me.

I had to step out of this one for the same reason. There's no way for me to offer 5 of the nominated fandoms and not get stuck with 'the one I threw on there because I needed to add a fifth so I could sign up'. (That's my luck - it happens to me every time.)

You have both Group: Steve Rogers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/Kara Danvers and Group: Kara Danvers (Supergirl TV)/Steve Rogers (MCU) under crossovers.

Just an FYI, for Generation Kill there is both:
Group: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick and
Group: Nate Fick/Brad Colbert

Since the A03 tag is Brad Colbert/Nate Fick, I guess I'd go with that one.

It should be resolved now! Group: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick is still there, while Group: Nate Fick/Brad Colbert is removed.

Under Crossover Fandom, Group: Catherine Bennet (Pride & Prejudice)/Margaret Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility) is the same as Group: Kitty Bennet (P&P)/Margaret Dashwood (S&S). (Kitty being Catherine's nickname.)

Thanks for catching it! The tag with Kitty Bennet is already in use, so I have removed the one with Catherine Bennet.

It should be correct in the tag set--let us know if it's not. :)

Will there be an official letters post or would a participant be allowed to make such a post here?
