Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Signups are open!

Signups are now open! Go here to signup. Guidelines are below.


Requests


You will sign up with 1-10 requests, with 1-10 relationships per request. You may repeat fandoms with different relationships. You may also select "any" for relationships, indicating that you are open to receiving a fanwork for any of the nominated relationships for that fandom.

The minimum number of fandoms is one, but if you request fewer than three unique fandoms, you're not guaranteed a gift, and we won't delay reveals for you. Three sub-fandoms within the same larger fandom (e.g., Tortall) are considered unique fandoms in this context.

If you go to pinch hits with fewer than three fandoms and your pinch hit lingers for more than a week (or more than 24 hours past the general assignments due date), you may contact the mods to add more fandoms.

You may request either fic, art, or both.

If you have a letter at an external site (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Google Docs, etc)., provide a link to it in the relevant box. Please ensure that your letter is complete by the time signups close.

If you have any Do Not Wants (DNWs) that you wish your creator to respect, they must be in the Optional Details box of your signup. DNWs that are only contained in an outside letter cannot be enforced by the mods.

The mod encourage all participants to use clear, specific, and reasonable DNWs for this exchange. DNWs for specific characters in "any" ships will not be enforced. If you have questions about the best way to phrase your DNWs, please contact sufficiently.advanced.ex@gmail.com for assistance.


Offers


You will sign up with 1-10 offers, with 1-10 relationships per offer. You may repeat fandoms with different relationships. You may also select "any" for relationships, indicating that you are open to creating a fanwork for any of the nominated relationships for that fandom.

If you offer a specific "any" ship, such as "Any Dragon & Their Captain", you only need to be able to write one ship that fits the criteria.

You may offer either fic, art, or both.

You may also use one of your offer slots for "bucket" offers. Put one fandom tag in the fandom box; tick "Any" for relationships; then put all the other fandom tags in the optional details box, separated by commas. This can only be done with one of your offer slots, and means you are offering "Any" relationships in all of these fandoms. Remember that the relationships field also includes Solo: Character nominations; and general or specific worldbuilding tags.

Fandoms entered into the optional tags field will not auto-complete, but spelling and spaces matter. The easiest way to fill in your bucket list is to use the "Fandom:" box; when it autocompletes, you can copy and paste fandoms from there one by one into the Optional Tags line until you are done, and then leave the last fandom in the Fandom box. If you are offering lots of fandoms, you can make a comma-separated list in a text file by copying and pasting from the tagset, then pasting it in. This method ensures you do not lose your list if you enter one of the tags incorrectly, and makes it easier to edit if you change your mind.


Matching


Matching works on an OR basis. Your request will be matched to a creator based on just one fandom/relationship/medium combination.

If you do not have a potential recipient, you will be contacted and asked to edit your sign up. If you do not wish to do that, or if you do not respond within 24 hours, your sign-up will be deleted.
