Signups are open!

[littlefics]

Signups are now open! They will remain open until July 10, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown). You can browse the requests in this handy app, too.

The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups. A clarifications/reminders post will be up sometime tomorrow.

Important Note: If AO3 won't let you request a character that you know is definitely in the tagset, please comment here with the exact fandom and character(s) you were trying to request. A mod will then batch load it for you on the backend, and you will be able to request it.

Requests:

• You must request 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your requests must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars requests would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

• If you wish, you may request Any for drabble type. This means you are open to receiving any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset.

• If you wish, you may request Any character. This means any character in the canon (NOT just the tagset). Please do not request Any unless you really are open to receiving any character from that canon.

• If you have character DNWs, requesting Any might not be the best idea, as this could end up with a bad match with someone who had only offered that character. We will be checking for this before we send assignments, but it's possible we could miss something, which would lead to us having to re-assign your writer and send you to pinch hit. (Note that the character DNW would still be upheld in this situation.) If you are requesting Any and do not wish to receive fic about objects etc, you should DNW that as well.

• Blank signups are allowed, but prompts, likes, and a list of DNWs are strongly encouraged.

 

Offers:

• You must offer 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your offers must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars offers would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

• If you wish, you may offer Any for drabble type. This means you are open to writing any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset. (Note that unless your recipient has also requested Any, you must write one of the specific drabble types they requested.)

• If you wish, you may offer Any character. This means any character in the tagset (i.e., if your recipient has requested specific characters, you must write one of them). Please do not offer Any unless you really are open to writing any character in the tagset for that fandom (including any last-minute additions to the tagset).

 

Do Not Wants:

• Only reasonable DNWs in your AO3 signup will be enforced.

• A reasonable DNW is a DNW that is clear and does not attempt to box your writer into writing just one thing.

Other:

• Some tags may not appear in the drop-down menu, but can still be used by copy-pasting from the tagset itself. This is a known AO3 bug.

 

• If you encounter any issues while signing up, please let us know ASAP, as AO3 bugs can sometimes hit exchanges. (We are aware of the character tag issue; please see the note at the top of this post!)

• If you need to let us know something about your signup (such as not wanting to be assigned to a specific other participant), please contact us via email (seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail) or the mod contact post.

Just to clarify, I only see six drabble types in the tagset. Is there meant to be a seventh?

[littlefics]

Yes, there should, thanks for catching that! Must have accidentally ticked the wrong box and removed it. The Mix & Match option for Drabble Series/Sequence has been re-added.

[celamity]

I only see five check boxes, both the boxes pertaining to triple drabbles are missing - oh never mind, I changed to a different machine (since the first ate my signup) and the scroll field is working on this one *sigh*

I was having issues with the tags, too, but this post answers that :)

Hi!
ao3 isn't letting me request Cecil Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale) and Earl Harlan (Welcome to Night Vale) in the Welcome to Night Vale fandom

[littlefics]

Hello, this should be fixed now!

[muccamukk]

The link from the tag set goes to the winter collection.

[littlefics]

Should be fixed!

Hello, I have the following tagset error:

One Piece: Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece)

Thank you!

[littlefics]

Thanks, this should be fixed now!

[ungefug]

I was trying and failing to add:

- Primo Nizzuto (Trust)
- Priest of Ambricourt (Journal d'un curé de campagne 1951)

[littlefics]

Thanks, this should be fixed now!

[ungefug]

Primo is fixed. Still can't get the priest into the prompt.

[littlefics]

Does it still not work if you copy & paste the exact tag into the Characters field?

[ungefug]

If works. Should have known better, sorry.

[littlefics]

No worries, glad to hear it's working now!

Hi, AO3 won't let me sign up with the following tags:

Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy
Tags: Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect), Ashley Williams (Mass Effect)

Fandom: Cyberpunk 2077
Tag: Judy Alvarez (Cyberpunk 2077)

[littlefics]

Should work now, thank you! If the problem arises again with other tags, just let us know—make sure to give us the exact fandom and character tags as they appear in the tagset.
