Signups Are Open!

[littlefics]

Signups are now open! They will remain open until February 5, 11:59pm Eastern (Countdown). You can browse the requests in the app!

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

We have one new nominations clarification about X-Men—please check out the previous clarifications post if it's something you might have nominated.

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.

Character Problem

[angswin]

In the TV Shows category for The Mandalorian, Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Grogu (The Mandalorian) are in the tagset, but not in the drop down menu. When I tried to copy & paste them, as is the usual fix-it for the AO3 bug, my sign up was not accepted and it said that those two particular characters were not offered for that fandom, but that "Your moderator may be able to fix this."

Hello, you should now be able to sign up for those tags! This is a known problem, unfortunately, which we must manually fix as participants bring individual cases to our attention.

Should you run into this problem again, you can comment here with the exact fandom and character tags that aren't working, and we'll fix it. Thank you!
