Signups are open!

They will remain open until 20:59 BST on Sunday 11 July. View the countdown here.

- The signup form is here.


AUex AO3 Collection | AU Fest AO3 Collection | Tagset | Rules Post

AUex Requests Summary | AUex Signup Summary


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 fanfiction, fanart, or both

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

  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, but DNWs must be in your signup to be enforceable; bear in mind these cannot be used to box your gift creator into creating a very specific scenario)

  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 and offer a minimum of three different fandoms.

  • 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 (not request) 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.

Nominations have reopened to accommodate AU Fest but you're welcome to nominate additional tags for your AUex signup if you wish to.

Nominations will reclose one hour before signups end, at 19:59 BST Sunday 11 July.

Note that approvals will not be instantaneous as they do require a mod to look at them; I'd recommend either nominating everything you want to request/offer and waiting for approval before you sign up, or signing up and adding to your signup later once approvals are made.

Nominations still need to adhere to the guidelines. If they don't, they will be rejected.


Any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at thedevilchicken+auex@gmail.com.

Reagarding additional tags, in a crossover pairing which occurs within a larger fictional universe (e.g in Crossover Fandom, "Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (SWST) & Darth Vader (SWOT)") can tags be used from the fictional universe (here, SW) or can you only use ALL or Crossover tags?
