Offering fic or art

[koraki]

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday!  

 

It was recently brought to our attention that the option to offer "fic" or "art" as AO3 tags was erroneously left out of the 2020 signup form. A huge thank you to the person who pointed this out! 

It's important to us that this remains a multimedia exchange and you are given the option to match on either fic or art. So, for the 2020 round we will be going a little old school and asking that you use the AO3 optional details/description section of your offer to specify your offered media type(s).

Luckily, this exchange was designed with the option of including additional details/notes related to your offer, so this doesn't require anything else to be changed! Your offered media and additional offer notes will not be visible to anyone but the mods. 

Ideal formatting would be something like so:

 

Offered media: fic, art

Other notes: If possible, I would prefer not to be matched to any request with prompts related to cephalopods, as this is a heavy personal squick. 

 

...but if you use a slightly different format, that's completely fine as long as it's clear at a glance whether you are willing to create fic, art, or either for your recipient!

 

If someone doesn't have offered media types listed in the additional details of their AO3 offer by the weekend signups are scheduled to close, mods will reach out to them to determine if there is a media preference. If no response is received, that participant will be matched as if they had offered fic only. 

 

Matching will run as normal for an AO3 exchange, with the addition of a hand-matching pass/swap before sending out assignments to ensure you match with someone who has made a compatible medium request. We don't anticipate that this will cause assignment send-outs to be postponed or otherwise affected. :)  

 

We appreciate your flexibility! As always, please continue to let us know if there are any questions, concerns, etc. -- that's how we caught this so early!
