Signups are now open.

You may request between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-3 additional tags specifying medium. You must request a minimum of three unique ships. A signup that only requests three different ships under Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic is fine. A signup that only requests Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker under Original Trilogy, Canon EU, and Legends EU is not, and mods will be in touch to ask you to add requests.

You may offer between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-3 additional tags specifying medium. You must offer a minimum of four unique ships. A signup that only offers four different ships under Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic is fine. A signup that only offers Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker under Original Trilogy, Canon EU, Canon/Legends Crossovers, and Legends EU is not, and mods will be in touch to ask you to add offers.

Multiple pairings vs. multiple requests

[(Anonymous)]

Hi there! This is my first time participating in a fic exchange, so I'm a bit confused about the difference between listing multiple pairings in the same request/offer versus creating a different request per wanted/offered pairing. I'd super appreciate it if you could explain a little.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Multiple pairings vs. multiple requests

Absolutely! Requests/offers can only have one fandom each - so, one request for Canon/Legends Crossovers, one for SWTOR, one for the sequel trilogy, and so on. Each of those requests/offers can have 1-20 ships from that fandom.

If you have more than 20 relationships for a particular fandom, you can create a second request for that fandom. You could also create a second request for a fandom if you want to split your requests up thematically - say, one Sequels request for First Order ships, and one for Resistance ships - but that's totally optional, some people just like the way it looks, or don't want to write a letter and have run out of space to talk about each ship in the optional details box.

So, within a fandom, there isn't really a difference between multiple pairings in the same request vs a different request per pairing. If the ships are in different fandoms, however, they have to go in different requests.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
