Sign-ups are OPEN

[crantz]

Hey, everyone!

Sign ups are OPEN!

Here is what the Sign-up form looks like!

Sign-up details:

• Requests: 3-10 fandoms, 1-20 characters per fandom, 2-20 AUs per fandom
• Offers: 4-10 fandoms, 1-20 characters per fandom, 2-20 AUs per fandom

Steps:

1. Fandom - Choose your fandom!


2. Characters: This is for characters/relationships. Select at least 1 character or relationship from the tag set.


3. Relationships: This is where you select your Alternate Universe tags!


4. Prompt url: Link your letter/prompts here if you have it! Optional.


5. Prompts: If you have any Do Not Wants, please put them here. We will only enforce what's in the sign up itself. This section can also be used to provide prompts and ideas to your author and will be made visible to everyone. Optional.

You must request a minimum of 3 unique fandoms and offer a minimum of 4 unique fandoms, but you may duplicate fandoms to get specific AU/Character combinations.

Because you will match on at least 1 character/relationship AND 1 AU tag, please be careful to select tags that complement each other. If you ask for a character from the dawn of time + two far-future AU ideas, your writer may get a bit stuck.

Can you please make requests public?

[crantz]

But wait! What public requests through yonder web browser breaks?

When signing up, one of the character tags that I'd nominated (Astrid Schaeffer (Humans)) didn't show up in the autofill so I copied and pasted it from the tagset. However, AO3 is saying the tag doesn't belong in the fandom I requested/offerd. Is there a way to fix it?

[morbane]

That's odd. Please give me a moment, and I'll delete & re-add and re-associate it to see if that fixes it.

[morbane]

I've reinserted the tag as Astrid Schaeffer (Humans (TV)) (sometimes it is necessary to alter the tag slightly so the system doesn't go "I just processed that! I'll break it all over again!") Please let me know if that works for you.

That worked, cheers!

[morbane]

Phew. Thanks!
