Sign ups for the Spectre Requisitions exchange are now open and you may sign up from January 24th to February 8th. You must fill out at least three unique requests and three unique offers. Requests and offers do not have to be the same. (But can be!)
Important links:
Sign-up Form
Nominated Relationships Spreadsheet
Countdown Timer
A couple of reminders:
Treats are OPT-IN. "Treats" are works that are given to you that are not your main assignment. To opt-in to treats, you will need to enable treats on Ao3 AND declare you are open to being treated. If you do NOT specify treat preferences, we will assume you do not want to receive any treats!
To enable treats: Go to “My Dashboard” on your Ao3 account, select “Preferences” from the sidebar, scroll down to “Collections, Challenges, and Gifts,” and make sure that the “Allow Anyone to Gift Me Works” box is checked.
You can use the following template in your sign-up box to state your treat preferences if you would like: Open to Treats: Yes / No Open to Treat types: Fanart, Fanfiction Open to Multi-recip treats: Yes / No If you are open to all types of treats, you can simply say "Treats welcome!"
There is a RATINGS box for sign-ups! The box is not mandatory and non-binding but will help with determining who is or is not interested in smut. If you are open to potentially creating or receiving smut, SELECT the "Explicit" option for that offer/request. Please note that this is NOT a guarantee that you will be matched, in either direction, with someone who has opted into smut; and even if you do match in that manner, you're not obligated to create smut (nor are they obligated to create smut for you).
NOW THAT SAID: SIGN UP! SIGN UP! SIGN-UP! CLICK HERE TO SIGN-UP!
You can go back and edit your Sign-Up Form up until Sunday, February 8th, 8:00PM EST.
How Do I Sign Up? Instructions beneath the cut:
1) Go to the Sign Up Form at AO3.
2) Start writing in the name of your favorite character/pairing from the nominations. Don’t forget to check the spreadsheet if you need inspiration!
3) The box should start autofilling your pairing as you type (if it doesn’t, that is a known Ao3 bug; if you type or copy it in exactly as it is in the tagset, it will accept it). Select your pairing of choice. You can choose three pairings per request and may have ten requests total.
The requests do not need to be related; it is simply a way to try to get around the Ao3 restriction of only having 10 sign-up boxes.
4) Decide whether you would like to potentially receive fanart or fanfic, or both. Check the applicable box(es).
5) The RATINGS box on each request indicates whether or not you are open to receiving smut. The box is not mandatory and non-binding but will help with determining who is or is not interested in smut. Please CHECK the "Explicit" box if you want to receive smut; and leave it unchecked if you do not want to receive smut.
6) In the "Description" box, you MUST include:
Any Do Not Wants (DNWs) for the requested relationship(s). We cannot enforce DNWs that are not contained in your Ao3 sign-up so please make sure these are in the description.
Whether you are opting in to treats or not. If you are opting in, you must say which kind of treats you are open to receiving. If you do NOT specify treat preferences, we will assume you do not want to receive any treats!
You can use the following template to state your treat preferences:
Open to Treats: Yes / No Open to Treat types: Fanart, Fanfiction Open to Multi-recip treats: Yes / No
If you are open to all types of treats, you can simply say "Treats welcome!"
7) You MAY include:
General likes/dislikes
Prompts, ideas, anything that will help your assigned creator know what sort of gift you would most like to receive!
Please note that - unlike Do Not Wants - it is NOT mandatory for your gift-er to follow these prompts.
8) Repeat between 3-10 times, as you like!
9) You may include a letter or post that goes more in-depth and post it to your tumblr, dreamwidth, public google doc, or another platform, and then fill in the URL in the letter box. (Please remember that DNWs MUST be in your actual sign-up and make sure to include them there, even if they are also in your letter.)
10) Fill out your offers. You must fill out at least three unique pairings you would be okay with writing and can choose up to three pairings to fill in per request. Because we are upping the number of offers to 30 this year, we have removed the option to offer "Any."
11) The ratings box on each offer indicates whether or not you are open to receiving smut. The box is not mandatory and non-binding but will help with determining who is or is not interested in smut. Please CHECK the "Explicit" box if you want to create smut; and leave it unchecked if you do not want to create smut.
12) In the notes, please include any notes for the mods that might help the mods in matching you. For example: "I won't write varren fighting" or "Please do not match me to Councilor Udina". These notes are confidential between the mods and you, and are not shared with your match (or anyone else). You don't have to give reasons; just letting us know what your boundaries are is enough for us to hopefully better match you, and we don't share any information given with other people.
13) Click submit! And welcome to the Mass Effect Spectre Requisitions Rare Pair Exchange!
Sign-ups for Guardian Wishlist are open until 11:59PM on 15 September (any timezone). If you've been thinking of signing up, now is the time! Your wishlist can be as brief or as detailed as you like.
Signing up doesn’t mean you're required to make gifts, though of course we hope you'll look at other wishlists and be inspired! Note: If you're signing up without a Dreamwidth account, we ask that you provide a current email address.
Make gifts!
As well as fic, art, vids and podfic, there are requests for icons, meta, picspam, recs and resources in a range of Guardian-related fandoms. Please take a look and see if there are any prompts you'd like to fill! You don't have to sign up or have a Dreamwidth account to participate in gift giving. Anyone can write or make gifts for any sign-up, right up to reveals on 6 October (Reunion Festival).
