Sign-ups Open; Final Nominations Clarifications

Sign-ups are open here! They will be open until November 30, 11:59 PM UTC (countdown).

Sign-up Guidelines

The minimum you may request/offer is: 3 unique fandoms with 1 relationship, 1 medium, 0 archive warning tags (request only; all participants are opted into No Archive Warnings Apply by default), and 4 freeforms each.

The maximum you may request/offer is: 10 unique fandoms with 10 relationships, 2 mediums, 4 archive warning tags (request only), and 20 freeform tags each.

You may request/offer the same fandom multiple times with different ships/characters/freeforms, as long as your overall requests/offers include 3 unique fandoms.

Each request in the sign-up form will include an Optional Details text box where you can provide likes, prompts, or other optional guidance for your creator.

If there is content you do not wish to receive, list these clearly marked as Do Not Wants/DNWs in the Optional Details box. Your creator will be required to respect these DNWs.

You may link an external Dear Creator letter if you wish.

A note on DNWs and 'Any':
If you choose the 'Any' tag for relationships, this means you are requesting/offering any relationship in the tag set, not the fandom. Do not select Any Relationship and then DNW a particular relationship, or Any Freeform and then DNW a particular freeform. Similarly, do not DNW archive warnings you opt into.

If your DNWs contradict your request, the mod will send you a message first but may delete your sign-up if you do not respond or correct it.

Archive warnings in the sign-up form are opt-in. For example, if you are fine with Major Character Death, select the MCD archive warning and the creator will have the option of including character death or not (they are not required to do so).

Everyone is opted into No Archive Warnings Apply by default.

A note on archive warnings:
Your archive warning selection must align with your sign-up. For example, if you pick freeform tags that include noncon, please opt-in to the noncon archive warning. Additionally, do not DNW archive warnings you have opted into.

If your selected archive warnings do not align with the request they were selected for, the mod will send you a message first but may delete your sign-up if you do not respond or correct it.
