Sign Up Walkthrough (SWTOR Summer)
Signups are open! Here is a guide on how to sign up for the SWTOR Summer exchange.
You MUST have an AO3 account to participate. If you need one, please reach out. I have several invitations I can give out.
To start your Signup, go to the Collection Page during the signup period and click on "Signup Form" or use the link provided above.
Requests
We start the signups with what you'd like to receive as a gift.
After a general explanation about how the signups work (please read this first), you will get to the form itself. You must fill out at least ONE request (each request must have at least 2 characters listed- this allows for better matching). Each "request form" allows up to 20 separate characters and 20 separate relationships. List as many characters and/or relationships you'd like. If you don't want a pairing, feel free to only list characters you enjoy.
Pairings can be platonic, romantic, multipairing, etc.
The form above is what it looks like when you scroll to the first request. You MUST choose fandom (there is only one to choose) and then go down to characters and relationships. If you aren't particular about what you receive as a gift, you can click on "Any Character".
Please be aware that if you do click this option, you are giving your gift giver the freedom to write or draw whatever they want as long as they adhere to your DNWs. Please be absolutely sure that is what you want before you click it.
Please be as descriptive as possible about your DNWs and triggers. They cannot be enforced if they are not explicitly stated.
You can choose to receive fanart, fanfiction, or both. But you must click at least one.
URL: Links are for letters, prompt ideas, more detailed DNWs, information or tags for your custom characters and ship dynamics. Feel free to link your Tumblr or anything else you think is necessary.
Offers
For your offers, this is where you will choose what YOU will be GIVING. This helps the mods and AO3 match you to someone that you will be happy creating for. You must list at least two different characters to be matched well. Again, if you click "Any Relationship/Character" in your offers, you are saying that you will make something for ANYTHING. Platonic, romantic or anything in between. Please be careful with using that option.
You are only required to make one offer but you can list up to 20 characters and/or pairings per offer. You don't have to do this many, but the minimum is at least 2 characters. Please be descriptive with your DNWs again, this is where I will determine if you are matched with someone that won't upset your triggers.
The additional tags are the most important part of your offers because it will determine what YOU ARE MAKING. Please, if you are writer, only choose fanfic. If you are an artist, only click fanart. If you do both, you can choose to offer one or both.
After you submit your signup, you can edit it until closing day, June 28th. After the 28th, you will be unable to edit it as matching will begin.
Any questions regarding signups, please message a mod or the main exchange blog. Someone will get back as quickly as possible.
