Welcome, Crow, to the Contracts Exchange

Ours is a world of favours traded in the shadows. If you're looking for a challenge, we may have a contract available that would interest you...

This fanwork exchange is open to fic and art and includes works that are character studies (solo), general (friendship, non-romantic/sexual), or ship-focused (romantic/sexual) in nature. Any creator willing to create a new fanfic or fanart piece within the deadline is welcome!

Check Out the Works Here!

Reminders:

► CREATORS ARE STILL ANONYMOUS! Please do not publicly share/claim your work as your own until creator reveals on March 29th. ► You are allowed to publicly guess who your creator might be, share recs, or link to any of the works in the collection! Even if someone correctly guesses you as their creator, please do not publicly confirm/deny. ► Creators, don't forget to update your publication date to today, that way it shows in Recently Posted searches. To do so: Edit Work -> under Associations check "Set Different Publication Date" ► Don't forget to comment on your gift!

Treats:

The collection will remain open for treats until creator reveals on March 29th, so there's still time to post extra gifts! You can treat specific people by checking out the request list(s): Fanart | Fanfic. You can also treat the exchange as a whole by creating for any pairing on the Nominations List. As of now, all participants have received at least one treat, so the Treatless List is empty! Check out our FAQs What are Treats? and How do I give a treat? for more information.

✨ Nominations Update ✨

Andarateia Cantori/Viago de Riva/Rook Lucanis Dellamorte/Rook/Spite

Provide a race and gender for Rook, i.e. Male Qunari Mercar

These tags were already approved using different formatting. You can submit a new tag to replace this one!

Andarateia Cantori/Female Elf de Riva Andarateia Cantori/Nonbinary Human de Riva Viago de Riva/Female Elf de Riva Transman Human de Riva/Male Elf de Riva

A note on nominations for transgender characters:

We do not currently codify transgender characters in our tags, in much the same way that we don’t use tags to indicate whether characters are cisgender. As a result, the above tag for a transman human de Riva had already been submitted as Male Elf de Riva/Male Human de Riva. Please feel free to submit a new tag! (Please note that when it comes to requests, you are of course very welcome to indicate that you prefer a trans character, it just isn’t codified in the tags.)

‼️ Reminder: Please use Dragon Age - All Media Types as your fandom nomination.

Nominations Close: Sunday, January 18th 5p Pacific!
