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.

Signups update - a couple issues

[littlefics]

A couple issues have been brought to our attention:

• In a mod oops, the signup form is allowing 1-10 fandoms per offer/request. We only meant to allow the usual 1 fandom per offer/request. We are unable to change this setting as we have existing signups. As we don't want to have to delete the signups that are already in, we are asking that you make sure to only have 1 fandom for each of your requests and offers. If you are requesting/offering more than 1 fandom for any of your requests after signups close, we will email you to ask which fandom (and, subsequently, character) tags you would prefer to have removed from your signup.

• The signup form is throwing an error message for some character tags. The mods can fix this manually, but we cannot see which tags are affected from our end. If you run into this issue, please contact us to let us know the fandom & character(s) you received an error message for, and we'll fix it ASAP.
