 Signups are now open for the winter 2021-22 round of Seasons of Drabbles! They will be open until January 16, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown).


Important Note:

  • In test signups, we ran into the same problem we had last round. If AO3 won't let you request a character that you know for sure is 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.
 
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 an object/concept/etc from the canon in the character slot.

  • 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.
 
  • 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 first bullet point 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.

Additionally, a query:

  • DCU has been nominated as a fandom, but DCU (Comics) is already in the tagset. Is there a functional difference between the two? If not, we'd like to add these characters under DCU (Comics) instead. The nominator seems to have changed the fandom tag to DCU (Comics), so we've accepted the tags that way. AO3 had a hiccup when we were trying to disambiguate the character tags, however, causing issues. While we think we've managed to track down everything, some of the tags may be missing. If you are the nominator and any of these characters are missing from the tagset, please contact us to let us know!
