Please tag @officialrepcomm and use the hashtag #repcommweek2022 when you post your creations! We are stoked to see what you all come up with.
Despite it being the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones, the annual clone fic exchange will go on hiatus this summer. However, do check out this commando-centric alternative event! And follow @swfandomevents for announcements of other cloney happenings.
Creators will be revealed next Wednesday, 15 September 5:00pm EDT, when the collection will be closed. Until that time, treats will still be accepted.Â
Remember to go in and update your workâs publication date to 9 September, and please do acknowledge your gift.
Happy 9/9, thanks to everyone for participating and getting works in on time, and enjoy reading!
Please have your assignments posted to the Collection by 11:59PM (EDT) on Thursday, September 2nd. Some extensions have already been granted, so if you donât see a âMystery Workâ in your Gifts on Friday, donât worry.Â
Works will remain hidden until Reveals next Thursday (9th), but you will be able to access your work in your Assignments tab on Ao3 or in your Stats page. As long as you have something that can stand on its own in the Collection tomorrow, feel free to keep poking at your work it until next week.
Exchange assignments are due on September 2nd, just under two weeks away!
If you donât think youâll be able to finish your assignment, please default by tomorrow (Saturday, 21 August) to allow the mod time to find a pinch-hitter. You can find the default button by clicking on your assignment in the âMy Assignmentsâ tab on Ao3.
Last-minute extensions can be requested, too, but remember that works will go live on September 9th.Â
If you have questions or concerns, please just ask. And happy writing/arting!
Matching has finished and assignments have been sent out. All participants should receive an e-mail with their recipient and assignment details, but you can also find this under the Assignments tab in the lefthand sidebar on your Ao3 dash.
Please make sure any external letters are unlocked and accessible to your creator. If you did not include DNWs in your sign-up, the mod may contact you to request that you specify these.Â
Important dates:
21 August : Early default deadline
2 September, 11:59pm: Assignments due, pinch hits go out
5 September, 11:59pm: Pinch hits due
9 September, 8:00am: Works go live
16 September, 8:00am: Collection closes and creators revealed
Sith happens, and if you feel you will not be able to complete your assignment by September 2nd, please let the mod know by August 21st so that a pinch hitter for your recipient can be found in good time. Defaulting after this time doesnât carry any punishment except bad juju from the mod who will be scrambling to make sure no one is left without a gift!
The Clone Wars PX 2021 Collection is now open, so you can begin submitting works whenever you please; the mod will check for DNWs and skim for spelling/grammar (this isnât a proofread; if you need a dedicated beta, just shout!). Assignments are due on September 2nd, but treats can be added until the collection closes. All works will be âhiddenâ as Mystery Works until September 9th, when the works will be revealed.Â
The ask and chat boxes are open for questions.Â
Huge shoutout to everyone for signing up and have fun!
Clone Wars PX Exchange is now accepting tag nominations. Â
You can see all tags and nominate your own here.
Some tips and reminders about nominations:
Guidelines can be found HERE, but the main rule is: all works must feature a Canon/Legends clone character.
Please do not nominate âPlo Koon/Obi-Wan Kenobiâ for example. These are two non-clone characters; the tag will not go into the final set.
âCommander Blitz & Noneâ counts as a relationship, for the purposes of the tag set.
Clones and clones and clones and non-clones can be put in relationships together.
Nominations for pairings of Canon/Legends clone characters with original characters are acceptable in the âOriginal Clone Trooper Character(s)â or âOriginal Female/Male Character(s)â or âOriginal Jedi Character(s) format, etc. (i.e. âCT-0292 | Vaughn/Original Male Characterâ is fine, but âCT-0292 | Vaughn/[Your OCâs name]â is not.)
Entirely OC nominations (e.g. âOriginal Clone Trooper Character(s)/Original Clone Trooper Character(s)â) or non-clone + clone OCs nominations (âAsajj Ventress & Clone Troopersâ) will not be accepted.
If you wish to leave the door open for OCs in a work, you can always nominate a Canon/Legends Clone Character â& Noneâ and then specify your desire to receive OCâs in the details section of the sign-up form.
For the purposes of this exchange, neither Boba Fett nor Omega will be considered a clone.
If there is a canonical tag for the pairing and it shows up in the drop-down list, please use that.
Clone designations will be cleaned up; âCommander Cody & Noneâ will be edited to âCC-2224 | Cody & Noneâ for the final set.
Use âStar Wars - All Media Typesâ for the fandom.
If a pairing/relationship isnât nominated, it cannot be requested in sign-ups â so get your favorites in there!Â
The mod reviews all tags before they are added to the final tag set.
Again, here is the Clone Wars PX Exchange Tag Set. Nominations will close Friday, 18 June at 17:00 EDT. Sign-ups open next Saturday, the 19th!Â

Nomination Requirements:
Clone characters and clone ships from across the Star Wars universe are welcome. This includes Legends, video games, Dark Horse comics, Rebels, &c. As long as the nomination includes at least one or more clone character(s) from any Canon or Legends material, itâs acceptable for the exchange.
Although this is a Clone Wars centric exchange, please only nominate characters under the Star Wars â All Media Types fandom tag. The mod will organize characters and pairings by subfandom (e.g. Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, Star Wars: Legends).
Crossover ships with characters outside Star Wars will not be accepted.
For the purposes of this exchange, Boba Fett will not be considered a clone, nor will Omega.
Clone Wars PX 2021 Tag Set
Sign-Up Requirements
You must have an AO3 account to participate.
You will be able to request between 3 and 100 clone characters/relationships from the tag set. Please only request clone characters for whom youâd like to receive a gift. You must request three at the minimum. Please specify whether you would like to receive fic or art. If no offers match your request, you will be contacted by the mod to see if youâd like to add requests to make you matchable.
You will be able to offer between 4 and 100 relationships from the tag set. Please only offer clone characters and relationships for which you are willing to create content. Please specify whether you would like to offer fic or art or both. If nothing you offer matches any requests made, the mod will contact you to see if you can add offers to your sign-up.
There will be a section in sign-ups for optional details and letters if you have them. It is very helpful to give creators an idea of what you like, but more importantly what you Do Not Want (DNW). These must be included in the AO3 sign-up; DNWs listed in external letters but not on AO3 may slip through.
Assignments
You are only guaranteed to match on one clone character and in one creative medium.
Please be judicious about where you chat about your assignment; your recipient may be sharing that space with you and this is an anonymous exchange for the first week. No spoilers, please!
If your assignment doesnât match your sign-up, please contact the mod as soon as possible.
Gift Requirements
Gift works must respect the recipientsâ DNWs. If a DNW is included, the creatorâs work will not be published and the creator will be removed from the exchange.
Completed fic assignments must be at least 1000 words created specifically for the recipient and must include at least one of their requested characters and/or relationships.
Completed art assignments must be an original piece created by the artist in traditional or digital mediums. At the very least, it should include detailed line art and may not be drawn on lined paper. The minimum acceptable size is 1000 x 1000 pixels. It should include at least one of the recipientâs requested clone characters.
Posting
Fics and art must be posted on AO3 in the Clone Wars PX 2021 collection.
Fic entries with excessive spelling and grammar errors will be rejected. Contact the mod if you need beta help and they will put the word out.
Obviously, as this is an anon exchange please donât refrain from posting your work (including snippets) elsewhere before reveals.
Pinch Hits
Pinch hits will be posted here on tumblr.
If youâd like to claim a pinch hit, message the mod with your AO3 name.
Treats
Treats are welcome, but should fill a stated request for the recipient.
Treats must also respect any Do Not Wants.
There are no minimum requirements for treats (e.g. a fic of 700 words is acceptable).
Please tag all treats as âClone Wars PX Treat."
Treats may go into the main collection.
Code of Behavior
Please acknowledge (ideally with a comment) on your gift â even if you defaulted.
Default early if you know you will be unable to complete your assignment. The mod then doesnât have to scramble for last minute pinch hitters.
If Sith Happens last minute, PM the mod asap or shoot an e-mail to [email protected].
This is supposed to be a fun low-key celebration of the clone troopers and Star Wars as a whole. This is not a place for kinkshaming, ship wars, militant moral policing, etc.Â
