Hi! This is my first time ever participating in something like this. And cuz I'm a worrywort, I want to make sure I have my bearings in order!
So, some questions:
I'm an writer in my field but I don't have an active ao3 or social media account that would show that. Same with art. Do I need to provide like "evidence" that I can write/draw? I just know actual active fanfic and fanartists are participating and I guess I'm a wee bit intimidated.🤣
I'm also considering being a pinch hitter. Are there any requirements that I would need to submit for that position?
Besides just having it on our social media, is there other ways to prove our ages?
Lot of questions about proof.🤣
Anyway this looks like a lot of fun and I'm very excited to see how it goes.
no worries at all! always happy to help.
you don't need to have an "active" account showing that you've already written and/or drawn anything prior to the event. it's awesome to hear that this might be your first public fandom foray! 💘 no need to be intimidated, we all start somewhere.
as for being a pinch hitter, the only thing you need to do to "register" is assign yourself the pinch hitter role {on discord in the role channel}. image example below.
you can include your age on your ao3 account profile, on carrd/linktree — anything that has public access. this is not only something that i check, but something that a lot of older creatives check for personal comfort.
looking forward to having you join this year! it was a lot of fun last year and it's always a blast to have more sonadow fans onboard. ✨
Hello, I'm excited that the Sonadow exchange has come back around. I missed out on joining last year but I'm very pumped to participate this year.
My question however is:
I plan to offer fanfiction for the exchange but would like to make fanart of my fanfiction. Is that allowed, given I do not post it until after the creators are revealed?
hello! thanks so much for reaching out and so glad you're excited to join this year! i'm not quite sure which way you mean it, so i'm going to answer your question in a couple ways:
if you want to create art AND fanfiction for your giftee within the creation period (april 20 - june 18), that is totally fine & welcome. you can embed the art within your fanfiction if preferred [ ⚠️ here is a spicy example from last year, click at your own risk!] to confirm, this would all be done on ao3 and would not be shown to your giftee until the POSTING period. (june 19-21) if you wanted to post your artwork on social media separately, you would not be able to do so until june 28th or afterwards, when CREATOR reveals go live.
if you plan to draw art inspired by the fic you receive from your giftee after the creation period, as long as your giftee is okay with it, that is more than welcome! i would encourage you to reach out to me (@/quillifer) on discord to confirm that it's okay with them, or reach out to your giftee via DM directly to confirm that it's okay with them. i tend to keep the exchange open until mid-august and/or until all giftees have received a gift, so you can add it to the exchange as long as the exchange is still open.
i hope this helps! looking forward to having you join the exchange this year! 🥳

Q: are there rules and/or requirements for giftees? does my giftee have to comment/respond to my gift?
A: tl;dr — no, i do not enforce giftee comments. as an FYI, you can request a do-not-match with anyone in the exchange for any reason. i will respect any/all requests of this nature. reasons why this is not enforced: 1) not everyone feels comfortable leaving comments publicly. 2) people are free to drop the exchange at any time. people may not expect to receive a gift in those cases. if you have concerns about your giftee/recipient not receiving and/or engaging with your gift, please DM me @quillifer on discord to let me know by aug/sept at the latest.

hello folks & happy 2026! sign-ups will be opening in ~30 days. there will be more announcements and reminders as we get closer, but for now, all info will be on discord. hope to see you all soon! 💫

It's true, Sonic never really liked the place.
And he has made his distaste well known to Amy in the past.
Which means, he has to come up with a good excuse if he wants to keep his surprise for her a secret.
"Well, yeah but, uh–" He surveys his surroundings, looking for anything that might give him an idea. "This is an exception!"
"Yeah? How so?" Amy sounds suspicious. If he doesn't find an excuse quick she'll surely–
His eyes land on Shadow sitting next to him, having returned to reading quietly.
Bingo.
Or, Sonic gets caught while buying Amy's birthday gift, and that somehow results in him getting into a relationship.
Written for the @sonadowexch event 2025!! This was a blast to do <3 (also plz check the other entries over on ao3, everyone did awesomely)
