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:
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:
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.
