The Fall round has now ended!

Authors have now been revealed and there are an awesome 245 works in the collection as of now. Thanks so much to everyone who signed up, pinch hit, treated, or left feedback of any kind; this exchange could not have happened without all of you!

The collection will remain open indefinitely for treating and moderation has now been turned off. We encourage you to continue reading and commenting as well!

The following Winter round's schedule will be finalized and announced before the month of November ends, though at this time we expect to run it on a similar timeframe as last time around.

Please note that AO3 might take a little time to completely reveal all authors.

Works are now revealed. Please take a moment to leave a comment on your gifts, and enjoy the haul of drabbles this round!

The authors reveals will take place 48 hours from now so that you can get the full 48 hours of anonymity despite the delay. (The delay occurred because both mods were unexpectedly AFK at the same time and couldn't cover for each other; we'll come up with a contingency so it doesn't happen again.)

We do still have a couple housekeeping emails that have gone out recently; if you have questions about your gifts or, alternatively, about a work you've posted not being revealed, please check your email! If we haven't reached out to you already, please get in touch so we can make sure everything's sorted.

Hello everyone, with pinch hits all claimed and the collection on track to reveal on the 13th (countdown), we wanted to give a last reminder that this is a great time to work on treats! :D You can browse requests through the app here. Treats can be posted at anytime, and can be gifted to a participant or to the collection itself.

We do have a couple out-standing (and one new) email queries that we've been waiting to hear a response back on, for which we just sent follow-ups today—if you haven't yet checked the email associated with your AO3 account, please do so!

Matching went very smoothly, and assignments have now been sent out! Some notes:

  • Initial pinch hits will be posted within the next hour.


  • If your recipient did not request a fandom, character, and drabble type you offered, please contact the mods at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail.com ASAP.

  • If you need to default, please do so via the button on AO3.

  • For the requirements your drabble must meet, please see our guidelines. The collection is moderated and we will be doing a brief check of submitted works before admitting them into the collection. If we see an issue, we will contact you through email.

  • If you write a drabble for a fandom in the tagset but it doesn't fit anyone's request, you may post it to the collection anyway, with no recipient.

Signups are now closed! Here is the expected timeline for the next couple days:

  • Like always, for the next 12 hours, we will be adding to people's signups upon request. This is intended for people who may have run into the character tagset bug when signing up close to the deadline, or whose nominations were approved late. However, anyone may ask to have characters added to their requests or offers. If you would like us to add to your signup, please post on the screened mod contact post or email us at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail. Please make sure to include your AO3 username.

  • After that window has closed, we will check the matching and send out emails to anyone who is unmatchable on offers. We'll also be checking individual signups at this time in case we find any issues there; if there are, those emails will also go out sometime tomorrow. Everyone we email will be given 24 hours to respond. Hopefully there will only be one round of emails that need to be sent out.

  • Barring unexpected delays, assignments will go out by Wednesday, October 26.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing!

Signups, which can be found HERE, will be closing October 23, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown). As of this post, that leaves a little over 8 hours.

Requests can be browsed in this great app and, as always, there will be a 12-hour grace period afterwards in which people can ask us to add/edit requests and offers in their signup.

Signups are now open! They will remain open until October 23, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown). You can browse the requests in the very cool app.

The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups. If your nomination has not been approved yet, check that you have disambiguated. Help with spotting erros/duplicates is much appreciated, since sometimes we can miss things!

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.

Nominations are now open for the Fall 2022 round of Seasons of Drabbles!

Guidelines
  • The tagset is here. Nominations will remain open until signups close on October 23.

  • You may nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 characters each.

  • All character nominations should be disambiguated, for example: Steve Rogers (Captain America (Movies)). Not doing this slows the approval process significantly, so please disambiguate! Characters may be nominated in any/every fandom in which they appear.

  • The tagset will be re-used through the end of 2022. Nominations will be wiped ahead of each new round to allow you to nominate new fandoms/characters for that round. If your fandom existed prior to July 2022, please check the tagset before nominating, as the fandoms/characters you want may already be there.

  • With some exceptions, both umbrella fandoms and sub-fandoms are allowed. For instance, you may nominate under Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars - All Media Types. You may also nominate under sub-fandoms such as Thor (Movies) or Star Wars Original Trilogy. (Please remember that if you request Any for an umbrella fandom, you will be requesting any character who appears in any of the fandoms below the umbrella - NOT just characters in the tagset. So if you plan to request Any, you may want to request under a specific sub-fandom rather than the umbrella.) Please check the fandom notes section for exceptions prior to nominating!

  • RPF is allowed. Nominated RPF characters must be famous in their own right, and must be 18+ for modern RPF.

  • Crossovers are allowed. Crossover fandoms should be nominated as Fandom A/Fandom B. Character nominations for crossovers should be nominated as Character's Name (Fandom A/Fandom B). For example, if nominating Luke Skywalker for a Narnia/Star Wars crossover, the fandom would be nominated as Chronicles of Narnia/Star Wars, while the character would be nominated as Luke Skywalker (Narnia/Star Wars).

  • Recursive fandoms are allowed. The required format is Recursive: Fic/Series title - Creator. Recursive fandoms may be nominated under two circumstances: 1. the creator has posted a blanket permission statement, 2. you are the creator. In either case, please contact us when nominating so that we have the pertinent permissions. Characters nominated under recursive fandoms should be disambiguated with the title of the recursive fandom.

  • Since we will be re-using the tagset all year, recursive fandoms will be removed on an as-needed basis between rounds (only if a blanket permission statement comes down, or the creator asks for it to be removed).

  • Original Works are allowed. When nominating characters, please disambiguate with (Original Work). If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination.

  • Original characters may also be nominated in existing fandoms. When nominating an original character within an existing fandom, please disambiguate with the name of the fandom. If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination.

Objects/concepts/etc may be nominated in the character slot for any canon in which they appear. For Original Works, you can make some up if you would like.


Fandom notes:


  • Do not nominate The Avengers (Marvel Movies). Any MCU character who appears only in The Avengers movies should be nominated under Marvel Cinematic Universe.

  • For Disney's What If...?, characters should include the season/episode number in the disambiguation. E.g. if nominating Peggy from the first episode of s1, the character tag should be Peggy Carter (What If s1e1). Characters may be nominated for any episode in which that specific version of the character appeared.

  • There may be other special cases we are currently unaware of. If your fandom requires unique consideration, please reply to this post to let us know. Additionally, please keep an eye on the Dreamwidth community, as we are likely to post clarification requests as nominations come in.
