Mod forgot to actually update the schedule instead of just posting about it, so please email, DM, or comment on this post (screened) if there's a problem.

Delay 2

Hello participants,

We've reached the delayed pinch hit deadline and are still lacking authors/artists for five pinch hits, so the exchange will be delayed another week. The new works reveal date will hopefully be September 2.

Hello everyone,

As it is <48 hours to our works reveal and we have seven outstanding pinch hits, the exchange will be delayed by a week. Works reveals are now slated for August 26. If you wish to pick up any of the pinch hits, or if you are a pinch hit and wish to add fandoms, please get in touch.

Thank you!

Rule addition/clarification

As this appears to be a hot topic of discussion in other exchanges at the moment, we'd like to clarify that no AI-generated fic or art will be permitted in this exchange and that a submitter of AI-generated work, whether as an assignment or treat, will be permanently banned.

Nomination Queries #5

This is the last queries post before nominations close this evening. We'll post after to check anything new that has come up, but if you have unapproved nominations, please look at the query posts! (or our responses to you there, if we're already chatting about it)

  • Nominator of Phantom of the Opera, please pick a version (book, musical, etc.)

  • Nominator of The Silmarillion, please check your unapproved nominations and make sure that only characters who are swapped are marked with a gender.

  • Nominator of Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms, you need to nominate the Disney versions specifically (as separate fandoms) if you want the Disney versions (eg. Ariel/Eric) and in general different, unrelated stories need to be nominated as separate fandoms. FYI, Disney's Beauty and the Beast is already in the tagset.

Nomination Queries #4 + 1.5 days (approx) left of noms

A day and a half of nominations remains!

  • Nomination of Howl's Moving Castle, we won't accept an All Media Types nomination for this fandom, please specify the book or the film.

  • Nominator of six Kamen Rider subfandoms, these appear to exist in continuity with one another, with some of the characters nominated for one title making appearances in others. We can approve them separately rather than subsuming them under AMT or Heisei (or Reiwa) era as we've done in the past, but per our longstanding rule, we will not count them separately towards the mandatory 3 minimum fandoms to offer/request, and you will have to offer and request some non-Kamen-Rider fandoms to participate in the multifandom exchange. Please let us know how you'd like to proceed.

  • Nominators of Naruto and Pokemon, please check your unapproved nominations and make sure that only characters who are genderswapped are marked with a gender.

  • Nominator of Stargate, is Starship Destiny a character? Do you mean the non-swapped crew of the Destiny?

Nomination Queries #3

Please see previous posts if you nominated Merlin, Fire Emblem: Three Houses or Sherlock Holmes.

  • Nominator of 100 Girlfriends, we have approved nominations with "Rentarou Family" because there seems to be a shared understanding in the fandom of who is referred to by that term, but please have realistic expectations about how many characters you can expect to appear in fic or art written for this tag; if you are dead set on seeing specific people, you might want to nominate them.

  • Nominator of The Lighthouse, we're sorry for the confusion with our previous query, but since the fandom seems to typically call that character Ephraim Winslow we've approved the tag as Ephraim Winslow.

  • Nominator of Love & Legends, we can accept your nomination as-is but please be aware that we won't permit recipients to request or DNW a specific gender of main character if the tag just says Main Character.

  • Nominators of Dragon Age, similarly, we can accept your Warden nominations but if you want a particular Warden backstory please bake it into the tag. There's also a "M!Alistair/Morrigan" nomination that needs to be fixed.

  • Nominators of All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor, we approved the latter but then noticed that Bryan Danielson was nominated in both, and on looking up the fandoms, it seems like ROH got sold to AEW and most of the other wrestlers nominated under ROH also wrestle(d) for AEW. Mods have very little grasp of how continuity works in wrestling; are these separate fandoms or one fandom?

  • Nominators of Percy Jackson, in a previous year we approved all Percy Jackson bookverse tags under "Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan" even though that tag technically doesn't encompass Heroes of Olympus/Trials of Apollo, because the "All Media Types" metatag that encompasses all of those books also encompasses the films, TV, and musical. Is this acceptable, or would you prefer a tag that is non-canonical but clear like Percy Jackson Bookverse?

  • Nominators of Buffy and Mass Effect Trilogy, do you have feelings/opinions about us approving the noms as-is or approving them as "Buffyverse" and/or "Mass Effect (Video Games)" to catch potential nominations of Angel and Andromeda under the same fandom?
