Hello Hello!

Last year, you may remember that we did a community challenge to try to complete a bingo board. Well, we're bringing it back for 2024! This extra challenge is completely optional.

Below is a BINGO board filled with tropes and tags that will show up in the works we create together. I'll keep track, and working together, let's see if we can get BINGO! Or maybe even blackout? The bingo board is posted late this year, so I'm not sure we'll get to blackout, but this community has surprised me before!





All works turned into the collection will count, including treats and gifts to the collection.

One work can count for multiple squares.

Please include the tag you wrote on the fic itself. I won't be reading all the works to figure out if it includes a particular tag!

• 40 M/M Works - works where the main ship is an M/M pairing.
• 20 F/M Works - works where the main ship is an F/M pairing.
• 20 F/F Works - works where the main ship is an F/F pairing.
• 10 Polyam (3+) Pairings - works where the main ship involves 3 or more people.
• First Work for a Relationship Created - at least one of the works in the collection was the very first created for that relationship tag.
• 1 Vid and/or Podfic - one work is a vid or a podfic.
• 5 Art Works - gifts that are primarily art and tagged with an art-related tag "Art" or "Digital Art" or "Illustration", etc…
• 3 "That's Not How the Force Works" - works that are tagged with "That's Not How the Force Works (Star Wars)" - there's no needed plot for this, just anything you feel is deserving of the title
• 3 Inappropriate Use of the Force - works that are tagged with "Inappropriate Use of the Force" or related tag. As for what the actual inappropriate use should be. Well…you know…I shan't say…tax evasion
• 3 Crossover /FusionWorks - 3 works with crossovers outside of the Star Wars Canon, either involving characters, or involving a "fusion"(typically, of one property's setting and the other's characters).

FAQ

Isn't this kinda a lot for one person to do? - Yes, it's a community challenge, all things will be counted collectively.

What if I already turned in a work but I didn't tag it the way the board shows? - That's fine! Feel free to go back and edit your fic to include the tag.

Help! I wrote a treat for someone and then couldn't gift it to them! - Sometimes this is a setting for newer accounts. Unless the participant has publicly said in their sign-up they don't want treats, ping the mods and we'll reach out to see if that's intentional.

I have a work I want to write, but I don't have anyone to gift it to - You can gift things to the collection without assigning a recipient by going to the collection page and clicking "Post to Collection."

Signups are now open and will remain open until October 6, 2024 11:59 PM Eastern time.

You may request between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-4 additional tags specifying a medium you'd like to receive a gift in (fic, art, podfic, or vid). You must request a minimum of three unique ships to be guaranteed a gift. A signup that only requests three different ships under Star Wars Disney Canon will guarantee a gift. A signup that only requests Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker under Original Trilogy, Star Wars Disney Canon, and Legends EU will not guarantee a gift, and if you are a pinch hit, the mods will be in touch to ask you if you want to add requests. If you decide not to, we will post your pinch hit, but not guarantee that you receive a gift.

You may offer between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-4 additional tags specifying medium you feel comfortable creating a gift in (fic, art, podfic, or vid). You must offer a minimum of four unique ships. A signup that only offers four different ships under Star Wars Disney Canon is fine. A signup that only offers Leia Organa/Lando Calrissian under Original Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars Disney Canon, and Legends EU is not, and the mods will be in touch to ask you to add offers.

You must put something in your requests' optional details. At a minimum, we ask that you put any Do Not Wants (DNWs) you have. Not sure what to put for your Do Not Wants? Check out our A03 Exchanges 101 post for more information. Apart from that, you can also put Likes, Prompts, General Screaming about ships. If you say that you have no DNWs, we won't solicit a new gift for you if your gift includes something unexpected that you don't like, as long as they wrote a pairing that you requested.

If you write a letter for your creator, please link it in the Dear Creator Letter URL field.

Happy signups! Feel free to comment here if you have any questions, Anon comments are on, but comments are not screened - be careful not to be too specific/revealing about your sign-up.

Hello!

Last day of nominations, and we've got a few specific question/notifications left.

As a reminder - we are rejecting nominations that are in the wrong fandom, and re-entering them in the correct fandom. Please comment here if you have any specific questions where your nomination went (Comments are Screened).

Clarification Needed:

Commander Black/Spark (Any) - Nominated under Star Wars Disney Canon. Nominator, we are not familiar with this character, and can not find it on Wookiepedia. Can you please clarify who is meant?

Original Clone Trooper Medic Helix/Obi-Wan Kenobi - Nominated under Star Wars Disney Canon. While we normally do not allow named OC's, we understand that this character is popular fanon and not generally understood to be the property of one specific creator. As such, we are willing to allow it, but not as a part of Disney Canon. Nominator, you can either nominate in Disney Canon a non-specific Original Clone Trooper Medic/Obi-Wan Kenobi, or you can nominate Obi-Wan Kenobi/Original Clone Trooper Helix (fandom) in Non-Star Wars Crossovers.

Not Allowed:

Any Group - Currently including Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren/Knights of Ren (ST), Dopheld Mitaka/Knights of Ren (ST), Dopheld Mitaka/Rose Tico/Knights of Ren (ST), Finn/Rey Skywalker/Knights of Ren (ST). Please re-nominate with specific Knight(s) of Ren, or requesting an OC Knight of Ren.


I know this clarification post is going out very close to nomination closure. If you see this after nominations close, comment below (comments are screened) with the updated version of your nomination, and the mods will add it to the tagset. Once sign-ups open we may choose to not modify the tagset further.

Nominations are open!

Nomination categories have changed. Please review the new fandom categories even if you've nominated for this exchange before.

• Every person may nominate up to 20 ships in up to 10 fandoms.
• Ships must have fewer than 250 works that are over 1000 words in English on AO3.

Nomination Guidelines

To nominate:
• Read the Nomination Guidelines (this post!) and make sure you understand them — don't be afraid to ask me or any of the other co-mods questions if you don't!
• Go to the tagset and make sure you're logged in to your AO3 account.
• Click the nominate button and fill in the nomination page with tags you want to request.
• Only nominate in the fandom categories listed in the Fandom Nomination Guidelines section below. We are not using Star Wars - All Media Types as a fandom. You can copy and paste from the fandoms list here.
• When the mods have time, we approve them... assuming you filled it out correctly and we understand your nomination.
• If there's any confusion, there will be a nominations clarification post on this Dreamwidth community. We can't see who's nominated what so we can't just ask you directly. You just have to comment on the post or email me to clear things up!
• Lingering incorrect nominations may be rejected, but I will always be willing to add the correct versions in for you if you provide correctly formatted tags to me within the nomination period.

( Fandom Nomination Guidelines )
• Other Star Wars Universes: Is for ships between characters who exist in Star Wars properties that are not clearly Canon or Legends. Examples of these sorts of properties would be the Visions TV show, Star Wars Legos, and the Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
• Any Star Wars Crossovers: Is for any ships between characters who exist in different fandom categories, or for ships where you generally don't care which version is used. Use (Any) in the tag after the character or ship if the property is not important to you, or one of the specific property tags found at the end of this document. For example, Leia Organa/Mon Mothma (Any) or Female Revan (KOTOR)/Leia Organa (OT) or Wedge Antilles (Any)/Luke Skywalker (Legends).
• Crossovers (Non-Star Wars): Is for ships between at least one Star Wars character and one or more non-Star Wars characters. Use the relevant fandom abbreviation or (Any) for the Star Wars character. For example, Amilyn Holdo (ST)/Klara (Jordskott).
