Nominations Open and FAQ Update

[dhampyresa]

Nominations are now open and will close on April 1. The tagset is here.

You can nominate four fandoms, and five characters or relationships from each.

Please use the following format when nominating relationships: "Relationship: Yoko Tsuno/Khany" for romantic relationships and "Relationship: Hannibal Barca & Scipio Africanus" for platonic relationships. These example relationships are already in the tagset, for ease of reference.

Fandoms will be considered small enough for this exchange if they have less than 500 fics on Ao3 that are completed, in English and over one thousand (1k+) words. All characters and relationships in a small fandom are eligible in that fandom for this exchange.


The FAQ has been updated to reflect the fact that the exchange is now open to both fic and art. The requirements for gifts are the following:

Fic

Assignment fic must be at least 1000 words in one of the requester's fandoms, featuring one or more of the characters or relationships they requested.

Art

Assignment art must be an original (traditional or digital) piece created entirely by the artist. It should be detailed lineart at a minimum. It should not be drawn on lined paper. Minimum size should be 500 000 pixels (for example 710 pixels x 710 pixels or 500 pixels x 1000 pixels). It should be in one of the requester's fandoms, featuring one or more of the characters or relationships they requested.

Wow, I can't imagine who nominated Hannibal and Scipio. ;)

[dhampyresa]

Indeed, it is a great mystery.

Uhm, I haven't found this info on the FAQs, are crossovers allowed?

[dhampyresa]

No. You can suggest crossovers in your optional details, but you are by no means guaranteed to get it.

A tip for anyone who needs to check the fic count for their fandom: Put words:>1000 in the "Search Witihin results" box of the Sort and Filter section.

[dhampyresa]

Thank you for the tip.

Hello! I still have an outstanding question: what will be the minimum number of tags per offer?

I'm also wondering: is it possible to increase the maximum number of requests and offers? The minimum could remain 3 and 4, but maybe allow up to ten requests? It might improve matching options.

I love high maximums.

[dhampyresa]

The minimum number of tags per fandoms will be two.

I will be raising the maximum number of offers and requests to 10 each.

Thank you!

For art, the sizes are confusing, since 1000 x 500 is 500 000 not 5 000 000, and 5 000 000 would be huge, so, is 500 000 correct here? Since 710 x 710 also is in the ballpark of 500 000 I'm assuming it is.

[dhampyresa]

My mistake, thank you for catching it. The minimum size is indeed 500k px.
