Signups Open!

[thedevilchicken]

Signups are open!

They will remain open until 20:59 BST on Sunday 12 July. View the countdown here.

- The signup form is here.

Remember: there's a known bug that means not all nominated tags will appear in the dropdown! If you encounter this, copy and paste the tag straight from the tagset and it should work.


Instructions:

1. Fandom: Choose your fandom (1 per request/offer)


2. Characters: Choose your characters and/or relationships (1-10 per request; 1-20 per offer)


3. Relationships: Choose fanfiction, fanart, or both


4. Additional Tags: Choose your AUs! - must be "ALL" tags or match your fandom (2-20 per request)


5. Letter URL: Link to your Dear AUex Creator letter here (optional)


6. Optional Details: Add request information for your gift creator here (optional)


7. Optional Tags (offers only): Optionally, up to 20 additional AU tags - these must be copied and pasted from the tagset; do not use the tags that appear in the dropdown! If tags are chosen that do not appear in the tagset, they will not be used for matching and may be deleted when signups close

Repeating fandoms in requests and offers:

• You must request a minimum of three different fandoms and offer a minimum of four.


• You can request/offer the same fandom more than once to include different characters/groups/AUs, but you must still meet the minimum number of separate fandoms overall.


• e.g. a signup that requests only Harry Potter x3 would be invalid, but requesting Harry Potter x3 plus Star Wars Sequel Trilogy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer would meet the minimum required fandoms.

DNWs:

• If you have any Do Not Wants, please include them in your Optional Details.


• Only reasonable DNWs included in your signup can be enforced. (Please bear in mind that DNWs cannot be used to box your creator into producing a very specific work.)

AU Tags:

• The AU tags you request/offer must either match the fandom or start with "ALL:"


• e.g. if the fandom is Harry Potter, you could request/offer "HP: Character Sorted differently" and "ALL: Space Pirates AU" but not "SW: Ahsoka is a Nightsister".


• You can request/offer 2-20 AUs in the Additional Tags field.


• Optionally, you can offer up to an additional 20 AU tags in the Optional Tags field. Do not choose from the dropdown; these must be tags from the tagset.

- You can find the tagset here. Note that no further corrections will be made now that signups have opened, but I'm happy to add AU tags.

- The requests summary will be visible here once requests are made.

- Once there are sufficient signups, you can find the signup summary here.
