Signups are open here! Go forth and request fic! They will close on 16 April.
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.
Please note that we unfortunately forgot to include the letter URL in our signup form, so we are asking that everyone include their letter at the top of the optional details for each fandom in the following format:
There are more details at the FAQ, but here are the basics:
You’ll request between 3 and 10 fandoms, with between 1 and 20 characters or relationships and between 3 and 20 genre tags per fandom. Fandoms can't be repeated between different requests.
You’ll offer between 4 and 10 fandoms, with between 1 and 20 characters or relationships and 3 and 20 genre tags per fandom. Fandoms can't be repeated between different offers.
Characters and relationships will both be in the Relationships 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: Character A in this field. If you'd like a story about either Character A or Character B, select Character: Character A, then select Character: Character B.
If you'd like a story about Character A and Character B in a romantic or sexual relationship, select Character A/Character B. If you'd like a story about Character A and Character B in a gen relationship, select 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. These aren't required parts of your assignment and aren't intended to be the same as detailed freeform matching in other exchanges, just to provide a general indication of tastes along with whatever you put in your optional details.
Here is the list of Additional Tags available for genres.
Here is the full tag set. You can also view tags and signup information on the app.

While signing up, I noticed the field to add a letter URL is gone this year - I'm going to put my link in my optional details with basic HTML, because I'm not sure this is something can can be fixed with sign ups already in, but I did want to give you a heads up!
