Nominations  
Nominations are open every year through the close of sign ups.

There is one eternal freeform tag set and one yearly fandoms and relationships tag set.

If you use all your nomination slots, nominating via sock is welcome.

A reminder that matching is on Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings. All extra information is optional and your artist/author does not have to use it. All participants are encouraged to try to make something their recip will like, but you're only guaranteed Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings.

Things that can be nominated include fandom, characters in the form of "Solo: Character Name" and ships in the relationships field, and freeforms. / denotes a romantic or sexual relationship. & denotes a platonic relationship.

Fandoms with umbrellas can be nominated as the nominators please, with both individual franchises and umbrella categories eligible. For instance:
  • Star Wars could have Star Wars (All Media Types), Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic, and Star Wars Thrawn novels nominated.
  • Marvel could have Marvel (All Media Types), Marvel 616, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man (movies), Thor (movies), and individual game and comic titles nominated.
  • If you want to increase your odds of getting something with characters you both know, you may wish to narrow in on a more specific version of your nomination like Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic or Iron Man (movie).


Crossover ships should be nominated under Crossover Fandom or under [Canon name 1]/[Canon name 2]. As matching is only on fandom, you are most likely to get what you want by nominating the canon names. Example: Fandom: Iron Man (movies)/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Relationship: Tony Stark & Spike.

Recursive fanfiction (aka fic or art of fic) is allowed if the creator has given public permission for their work to be included as a fandom in an exchange. Looking at you here, Dreaming of Sunshine fandom. Because Dreaming of Sunshine was synned to Naruto and its previous disambiguated for exchanges version was, too, to prevent Naruto eating DoS tags, please nominate under the new "Dreaming of Sunshine (Fanfic Disambiguation)" fandom tag. If you have a different recursive fandom you wish to be included, please point me in the direction of where the creator has given public permission.

The following nominations for fandoms will not be accepted:
  • Nazi RPF
  • RPF involving modern serial killers, mass shooters, or other modern tragedies
  • Other similar public figures who have living victims
  • Modern RPF for persons under the age of 18
  • Modern RPF for persons not famous in their own right


Other RPF is eligible. Fictional canons are eligible. Original Works are eligible. If someone nominates it, Creator's Choice of Fandom to give your creator complete freedom is eligible. The mod reserves the right to use their best judgment (or the fandom equivalent of phone a friend) for if something is or isn't allowed.

Because we're not matching on characters, ships, or freeforms, they do not have to be unique. Tags may wander. Unless the mod messes something up, this shouldn't cause any problems.

Freeforms should in some way be related to the theme, either to give an idea of the level of spookiness you're up for or to serve as some form of on theme prompt. Fic and art are expected to run the gamut from gentle spooks to screaming scares. Dark fic and art, horror, and the spoopy are all allowed and encouraged. If you have a preference, you should indicate it via freeform.

Because this is a flash exchange, we will not be doing clarification posts for freeforms. We'll still try to use a very open approach to what's on theme. Because we're only human, something may be rejected by mistake or misclick. If so, please let us know if your spooky/spoopy/horror freeform was accidentally rejected.

Examples of freeforms that would not be approved:
  • Trans Character

  • Fluff

  • Pining

Examples of freeforms that would be approved:
  • Trans Character Trying to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

  • Human Makes Friends with the Monster in Their Closet

  • Ghost Pines for Their Living Lover Who Can't See Them

[Amnesty #027] Kickoff Post  
AMNESTY WEEK #027
Challenges # 001-270

Amnesty Weeks are a chance to post any stories you've written that, for whatever reason, weren't submitted during that week's challenge. And if you can't get the entries you want in during this Amnesty, never fear! The next one will include challenges 001-280, so you'll never miss out.

There's no voting for amnesty entries, and there's no limit on how many you can post, so long as each entry meets the usual community requirements (less than 1000 words, not NC-17, etc.) If, however, you manage to end up with 30 of the things you want to post, try to spread them out through the week for the sake of people's reading pages. These entries may also be crossposted and previewed anywhere you like, since there’s no voting to skew.

At the end of this two-week window, a post will be made collecting all the links of the posted entries, which will also signal the end of the posting period, and a new regular challenge will go up.

Entries are titled the same way as normal: [#] Story Title (Fandom)

TXT: promise not to promise anymore by ratherunnecessary  
Fandom: TOMORROW X TOGETHER | TXT (Korea Band)
Pairings/Characters: Choi Soobin/Kang Taehyun, side Choi Beomgyu/Choi Yeonjun, unrequited Soobin/Beomgyu
Rating: Teen and up
Length: 21K words
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] ratherunnecessary
Theme: Marriage of Convenience, Alternative Professions

Summary:
Choi Soobin: Korea’s hottest leading man—who’s secretly nursing a broken heart.

Kang Taehyun: heir to the legendary Kang Entertainment—but only if he gets married first.

Reccer's Notes: I love Soobin in this - he goes from broken-hearted to agreeing to help an acquaintance (by marrying him, of course) to a devoted husband. He comes into his own as a partner over the course of this, and is more solid in himself at the end, too.

The other characters are also great. Yeonjun, in particular, just shines.

Silmarillion: By Other Means by SpaceWall  
Fandom: Silmarillion
Pairings/Characters: Luthien/Maedhros
Rating: teen
Length: 66k
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] SpaceWall 
Theme: marriage of convenience, old fandoms, small fandoms, book fandoms, rare pairings, AU (fork in the road), pretend couple

Summary: Centuries after the arrival of the Noldor and the Teleri in Beleriand, a celebration of Morgoth’s defeat brings the Crown Princess of Doriath and the Crown Prince of the Noldor together. To save this newborn peace from their respective fathers, they’ll do whatever it takes. Including... getting married?

Meanwhile, Lord Fingon of Himring faces the monumental task of healing Morgoth’s ills.

--

They regarded each other with quiet understanding, all the vast majesty of their respective lineages rendered unimportant by the connection between them. Music wound through the trees; harp and flute, surely joyous in context, sounded lonely in their solitude.

Reccer's Notes: Fëanor is a very complex character in the Silmarillion, who both has reasons for what he does and also does some terrible things. Fanon tends to sympathize with him, and also make him a good father to compensate for his other issues. SpaceWall takes the opposite track, leaning into his selfishness, his arrogance, and his suspiciousness. And then asks, if he had survived on Beleriand, what would have happened? If Fëanor, brilliant and terrible, were in command of the Noldor? Some things are better, some things are worse, (and Thingol is still Thingol), and so at a crucial juncture Maedhros and Luthien step forward to try and prevent disaster and war between the Noldor and Sindarin. And, in the process, they both learn a great deal.
