Happy creating, BDSE fam!
Regarding AI Use
Regarding an Anon message we have received that asked about the use of AI, we would like to remind participants that we do not allow the use of AI for event submissions. Please let's all use our brains the way we used to pre-AI for this event. Thank you! https://brudick-summerexchange.tumblr.com/rules https://brudick-summerexchange.tumblr.com/faq

First Check-in Time!
Evening all!

If you need to default for any reason, that's okay, just let us know.
Happy creating, everyone!
Hi! I'm new to these kinds of events and I just wanted to ask how we would go about it if we wanted a beta?
Contact us either off Anon here, on Discord via DM (cadkitten or femboyomega), or via email (email can be found in one of the previous ask replies below or on the AO3 collection.
Include your AO3 username and tags for the work you've created. That gives us the ability to match you with a beta easier.
Are prompt reveals still happening or have they been pushed down the line?
Apologies! This has been A. Week. lemme tell ya.
Regardless, they have been revealed now!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Hey. I’m really really sorry and I’m sorry that I don’t know how to ask over ao3 but is there a way to drop out?
If you need to drop out at any point, you can do so by going to Assignments and then Default. https://archiveofourown.org/users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/assignments
We can also be emailed (see below):
If you're willing, we would like to know what the circumstances are, just in case it could help us improve our matching program for next year.
Will people be able to write or draw treats? (Fill requests without participating)
Yes, of course! We always welcome that. Prompt reveals (when the general public can see all the prompt requests people made) are going to open up April 25th. (For those keeping track, a whole extra 12 days early!) You'll be able to find them on the AO3 collection at that time. :)
Reminder! Sign-ups for the Brudick Summer exchange 2026 close in a few hours! Get your signups in ASAP!
Hi! I've done beta reading before but never for an official event, I've already signed up but is there anything (etiquette, expectations, how this works etcetc) I should know? I'm hoping to be as helpful as possible and clear rules make it much easier for me.
Thanks to all the mods, authors and artists that helped to make this event come to life and/or are participating, and thanks for any advice!
Usually when someone asks for a beta, we then ask them if they just want spelling/grammar or if they want content, spelling, grammar, etc. to get the expectations and then we send out the call to betas.
Thank you for the ask and for the lovely comment!

in flux by binder on ao3

rating: mature
relationship: Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne
summary:
With Bruce out of commission, he's taken to checking out the security cameras placed around Gotham. When he spots Nightwing running with Deathstroke to an unknown location, he locks in. Can you really blame him for being jealous worried?

Summary:
A story about three escalating hook-ups. How anger and resentment fuels the deterioration of their relationship — how that reflects in how they treat each other. No one talks about their feelings. One of them ends up pregnant. No fluff. No healing. Just deeply regrettable decisions. Alt summary — snippets of how the worst best thing happened to them. A journey to rock-bottom, with the hope that they can bounce back up.
[Fanfic] the dark and quiet places for quickmanifyouloveme [Mature, No Warnings Added]

[Fanfic] Never Have I Ever Met Someone Like You for calinden [Explicit, No Warnings Apply]

Summary:
Dick had been pretty sure since the first time he had seen Bruce's mark that they were soulmates, he could just feel it. But when they end up on a mission over a decade since he had confirmed this information and chosen not to pursue his soulmate, can he keep the mental walls that separate their minds from crumbling or will his secret finally be revealed?

[Fanfic] I Don't Want Anything (Unless It's You) for SaltxxxSilver [Teen, No Warnings Added]
Summary:
Bruce and Dick have known each other for a long time. It's natural that they favor each other, trust each other more than anyone.

[Fanfic] If Not for the Dance for Byrdsofthenyte [Explicit, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings]
Summary:
Those big hands are on his hips, drawing him into position, urging him to bend his knees just the slightest, bringing the opening of his pants in line with the guy's face. For a moment, he stares up at Dick. Licks his lips. Then rumbles a quiet, "Bruce... in case you were wondering."
