Hello and welcome to the BNHA Fall Exchange!

BNHAexchange is a blog dedicated to hosting a variety of fanwork exchanges for the BNHA fandom. Anyone is welcome to sign up, no matter your skill level or experience. These exchanges are purely for having fun and making fan creations for a show we all love!

This is the first exchange in our lineup, and we’re super excited to get started. To kick things off, we have a general fanwork exchange taking place over October and November.

We’ve got lots of upcoming events planned—themed exchanges such as rarepairs and AUs and remixes, and flash exchanges for the major holidays—and the Fall Exchange is on now! It’s unthemed, so we can focus on getting into the exchange rhythm, getting the word out, and having a good time.

Posting Instructions [Fall Exchange 2018]

Here are the long overdue posting instructions! Again, so sorry for the delay. If you have not yet posted your work: Please post it on tumblr with the tag #BNHAFallExchange2018 within the first 5 tags (so that it appears when we search for it). You can post it as an image (if it’s art), a text post (if it’s fic), or as a link to an outside source (i.e. a link to a fic on AO3).

Please also @ your giftee in the post itself. If you have problems doing so, contact us (we promise to be better about responding).

Just to reiterate, posting on tumblr is required. Posting on AO3 is completely optional (and fine either way), just make sure your work can be accessed via tumblr in some fashion.

If you have already posted your work: Posted on tumblr, included #BNHAFallExchange2018 in the first five tags, and tagged your giftee via @  > You’re all good! Congrats on accurately predicting the future instructions.

Posted on tumblr, didn’t tag with #BNHAFallExchange2018 > Please email us a link to your post.

Posted on tumblr, didn’t @ giftee > Please reblog your post and @ your giftee

Posted on AO3 > Please make a post on tumblr with the link to your AO3 post, following the instructions above.

If you need to officially drop: If you already sent us an ask or an email about it, we will try to respond as soon as possible. If you haven’t yet, please contact us about it.

If you would like to be a pinch hitter: A pinch hitter is someone who makes a creation for a giftee whose gifter has dropped out. If you are already a participant, please send us an email or an ask telling us you’d like to fill in. If you aren’t a current participant, please send us an email with the following information:

Tumblr username

What you’d prefer to create-- ships, themes, tags, ratings, etc. (we might ask you to create something outside this, but we will check with you first)

What you won’t create-- again ships, themes, tags, ratings, etc. (we will NOT ask you create anything which includes anything you list here)

If you have any questions or concerns: Send us an email at [email protected] or send us an ask here. If it is a question which pertains to your specific case, please ask off anon (we will respond privately). If it is time sensitive, you can DM the mod girraffepancakes on tumblr.

Posting on AO3 [Fall Exchange]

For those of you who have posted on AO3 already and/or are planning to post on AO3, we have created an optional collection titled “BNHA Fall Exchange 2018.”

Instructions for posting to the collection:

Once you’ve opened a “New Post” on AO3 and filled in any relevant sections (Title, Tags, etc.), scroll to the section titled “Associations.”

In the field “Post to Collections / Challenges” type the collection name: “BNHA Fall Exchange 2018.” Your screen should look like this:

Click the one which is highlighted red in the picture.

In the next field (”Gift this work to”) type your giftee’s AO3 name. If you do not know their AO3 username, you can contact us for it. Your screen should look like this:

Click your giftee’s name. Fill out the remaining fields as you wish, and click post.

The post will not show up automatically, because the collection is moderated. This means that the mods will have to manually approve each fic to be added to the collection, at which point the fic post will display properly. Expect 24 hours or less for your fic to be approved.

Once again, posting on AO3 is optional for the Fall Exchange. Posting on tumblr is the only requirement.

Thanks for your participation everyone.

Alrighty. Two announcements:

1) Fall Exchange check-ins have been sent!

Participants, check your emails. There will be a link to the google form you’ll be using to check in, and a link to a countdown until it closes. Please fill out the form even if you need to drop out. There’s a section in there where you can let us know, and this is your last chance to do so without penalty.

2) Trouble with assignments for the AO3 Halloween Flash Exchange.

We seem to have run into a glitch that’s keeping us from matching participants. While not without its workarounds, those workarounds will take a bit of time, and your local head mod isn’t going to be available for large portions of today and tomorrow.

Currently we’re considering transferring the requests over to a prompt meme and letting participants decide their own assignments, but that needs testing, and, again, time.

At any rate, it looks like the dates of the Halloween Flash Exchange will need to be bumped back a little. We apologize deeply to anyone this has inconvenienced.

Assignments sent

Check your emails! If you spot any problems, please send us an ask, an email, or DM one of our mods. Thanks, and happy creating~

NOTE: a couple of people’s assignments got bounced. We will be contacting these people over tumblr—if you didn’t get your assignment and haven’t been contacted, please come forward ASAP.

Sign-ups closed

Aaaaand that’s a wrap. We’ll get to work matching you all up and, barring any unexpected hiccups, you’ll get your assignments by October 3rd.

If you wanted to sign up for the Fall Exchange but missed your window, check out our full schedule to see what events are coming up next!

Sorry

Hello everyone, we’re really sorry for dropping the ball lately. If you’ve tried to contact us by ask or email, you’ll probably know that we’ve been a bit absent lately. We are back now though, and fully intend to get things back up and running.

For the Fall Exchange:

If you’ve already posted your work, that is completely fine (good on you for following through), and if you haven’t posted that’s fine too. Either way, we are extending the posting deadline to December 3rd so that everyone can have a chance to properly post their work.

We will make a separate post with the instructions for posting (both for if you’ve already posted or haven’t yet). For efficiency’s sake, we won’t be answering prior asks about how to post, but we will respond to past emails with a link to the posting instructions. After the instructions have gone out, we will respond to any future questions about posting guidelines, whether via ask or email. If you’ve contacted us for any other concerns, we will respond ASAP.

We will also be making another post in the near future calling for pinch hitters. If you’re interested in filling in a creation for someone who has dropped out, be on the lookout for that post.
