Many many thanks to Morbane for all the help and many thanks to anyone who participated in anyway.
What qualifies a fandom?
Small fandoms should have no more 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.
Fandoms can be included in the exchange even if they don't meet the above requirements. Large fandoms for media released between Yuletide sign-ups and Night On Fic Mountain nominations will still be considered (sometimes new fandoms blow up unexpectedly). These fandoms will only be eligible once.
Inactive fandoms can also qualify. Inactive fandoms may not meet the above requirements, but if they have had fewer than 24 new stories on AO3 for at least the past three years posted per year (not counting any stories posted to Yuletide collections), they will be eligible. (Exceptions to this may be made if there is a spike in posting due to someone uploading old fic, or if a fandom-specific archive is being backed up to AO3. This will be determined on a case-by-base basis.)
Things covered by the ao3 archive warnings (ie: graphic depictions of violence, major character death, rape/non-con, underage) are not to be written for anyone who has not explictly opted into them.
For the purpose of this rule, "major character death" is defined as "requested character death" and "underage" as "sexual content involving one or more participant below the age of 18". Definitions of "graphic depictions of violence" being harder to codify, this will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
