Signups are now open (a tiny bit early)! They will remain open until Monday, April 28 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). You can browse the requests in the app!

The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups. Please disambiguate your nominations to make the approvals process faster. IMPORTANT NOTE! If AO3 won't let you signup for a character that you know is definitely in the tagset, please comment here or email us with the exact fandom and character(s) you were trying to request/offer. A mod will then batch load it for you on the backend, and you will be able to request it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Hi everyone, please note that there's just ~24 hours left to sign up (and nominate) for the current round!

As usual, right after signups close, we will have a 12-hour grace period during which you can ask us to add any tags to your signup.

Hi everyone, thank you for all the signups and nominations so far! We just have a couple notes.

First, please let us know ASAP if you're having trouble requesting or offering a tag. We're encountering more issues with this during the current round than we have in the past, so we want to make sure we're addressing it.

Second, when making nominations, make sure to first check whether it's already in the tagset! Disambiguating--i.e., putting the fandom in parentheses at the end--is also extremely helpful. Both of these things allow us to approve nominations more quickly. Thank you for your help!




Finally, one small clarification regarding the nominations: there are 2 characters nominated under Original Work that seem duplicative of existing tags.
  • "Powerful Mage Who's Temporarily Lost His Magic (Original Work)"
    • "Mage Who's Temporarily Lost His Magic (OW)" is already in the tagset.
  • "Powerful Mage's Rival (Original Work)"
    • "Mage's Rival (OW)"
If you are the nominator, we welcome you to rephrase it to be more distinct. Thanks!

With signups closed, below 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.com. 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, July 3.

As you wait for assignments to go out, please feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing!

Hi everyone! Signups are closing in about 24 hours on Sunday, June 30 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). There will be a 12-hour grace period as always after signups close, during which you can add requests/offers. The changes may not be reflected right away on AO3 due to the scheduled maintenance, but we'll confirm with you once your signup is updated.

We also have some final nominations queries:
  • Could the nominator of "Recursive: gunflash - Fleetling" share the author's permission statement?
  • Knight & Rogue - Hilari Bell, Fisk (Knight & Rogue): Fisk seems to be the surname of several characters. Could the nominator clarify which one they meant?

[personal profile] littlefics
We have a couple queries about nominated tags, which can be found below!

We also wanted to note that some canons (Hazbin Hotel and Avatar: the Last Airbander) have gotten split up in the tagset; those are being consolidated. We will update participants' signups as necessary once signups close to ensure that it doesn't affect matching. Thank you!

Queries:
  • Disney Princesses and Heroines of Power (fan fiction): Could the nominator share the author's permission statement?
  • Harold and Maude (1971), Harold Chasen/Maude Chardin (Harold and Maude): We are a character-matching rather relationship-matching; could you update your nomination to nominate each character separately? We'll update it later this week if we don't hear back, but wanted to flag it for awareness.

Hello everyone, just a reminder that signups are closing in about 24 hours! Specifically, they will close at July 17, 11:59pm Eastern time (Countdown).

Once signups close, as usual, we will have a grace period for people to add tags or requests/offers to their signups. After that, we will proceed with matching.

Hello everyone, the schedule of the exchange will be adjusted to account for the period when AO3 was down. As a result, signups will end on the 17th, not the 16th. This will delay the assignment due date by 1 day as well. However, the collection will still open on August 5th.

Updated Schedule:
Nominations open: July 2 (will remain open through signups)
Signups open: July 9
Signups close: [NEW] July 17 @ 11:59pm Eastern time
Assignments out by: [NEW] July 20
Assignments due: [NEW] July 30 @ 11:59pm Eastern time
Collection opens: August 5 @ 1:00pm Eastern time
Authors revealed: August 7 @ 1:00pm Eastern time

  • 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.

Note as of July 9th: For this round, we are operating on the rule that one should only request/write NSFW drabbles if they are 18+. We won't be actively checking participants' ages, but if someone brings a violation to our attention, we'll enforce the rule. At the end of the round, we will solicit feedback on how exactly people would like an age requirement to work going forward, as this is a stopgap measure for now.

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.com. 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, May 10.

As you wait for assignments to go out, please feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing! :)

This is a reminder that signups for this round will be closing in about 8 hours at May 7, 11:59pm Eastern (Countdown).

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.
