Signups Open!

[littlefics]

Signups are now open for the fall 2021 round of Seasons of Drabbles! They will be open until September 5, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown). Here's the app for browsing requests, as well. Note that it may not be up to date if it hasn't been rescraped.

 

Tagset:

• The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups.

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.)

• 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.

 

• If you encounter any issues while signing up, please let us know ASAP, as AO3 bugs can sometimes hit exchanges.

• 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.

I'm getting this error on both offers and requests:

There were some problems with this submission. Please correct the mistakes below.
Sorry! We couldn't save this challenge signup because:

These character tags in your request are not in the selected fandom(s), 9-1-1: Lone Star (TV 2020): Marjan Marwani (9-1-1 Lone Star) (Your moderator may be able to fix this.)
These character tags in your offer are not in the selected fandom(s), 9-1-1: Lone Star (TV 2020): Marjan Marwani (9-1-1 Lone Star) (Your moderator may be able to fix this.)

Marjan isn't in the drop down, but I copied her tag exactly from the tag set. Not sure what to do. I'll submit without her for now, and figure it out later.

I think I got this fixed. Please let us know if it's still not working when you try again!

[muccamukk]

Working now, thanks!

Hi! I got the same error message as above for the following characters:
Homestuck: Roxy Lalonde (Homestuck), Vriska Serket (Homestuck)

[littlefics]

Should be fixed!

[aroberuka]

Yup, thank you!

Hi, I tried to add the characters Sam Winchester (Supernatural) and Adam Milligan (Supernatural) to my sign up, but AO3 is saying I can't request those tags, but I can see them in the tag set.

[littlefics]

Yes, we seem to be having an issue where we have to re-load random tags into their fandom in order for people to request them. You should be able to request both characters now!

Thank you!
