( EPH1 - CLAIMED )

While there are a tiny number of assignments still out, we are on track to open on time, 11:59PM PST on Saturday the 12th. See the countdown here.

Assignments are due in just about 5 hours, at 11:59PM PST. See the countdown here.

Remember that draft works do not fulfill assignments! I have several drafts in the collection, and you must publish them in order to not be defaulted at deadline.

PH#5 is still available, with a due date of December 7th, 11:59PM PST. Comment on the linked post (or otherwise privately contact me) to claim — comments on this post are not screened. It will be re-posted with any post-deadline pinch hits.

These pinch hits are due slightly after assignments, on December 7 at 11:59PM PST. To claim, please comment here, DM me on Dreamwidth or Discord, or email kimaracretakfics AT gmail with your AO3 name and the pinch hit that you would like to claim.

Pinch Hit #5 is also still available.

Hello everyone! I hope the creation period has gone well for you so far.

A sortable list of all requests is available here. Note that this does not contain DNWs, and if you are looking for someone to treat, you are responsible for checking their request in the requests summary.

If you want to create for someone who is not your assigned recipient, you may create a treat for them. Treats to a specific person do not have to meet the minimum requirements for words/size, but must respect the recipient's DNWs, be of a requested ship, and be in a requested medium. Post treats for a participant by going to the 2020 subcollection, hitting 'Post to Collection', and then filling in their name in the 'Gift this work to' field.

If you want to create something for a ship that is in the tagset, but no one has requested it (or the only requests have DNWs that you want to include in your creation), you may create a treat for the collection. Treats to the collection do not have to meet the minimum requirements for words/size, and do not need to follow and particular prompts or DNWs. Post treats to the collection by going to the 2020 subcollection, hitting 'Post to Collection', and then not filling in a recipient name.

Assignments have been sent out! If there is a problem (such as your recipient not requesting a ship you offered) please DM me here on Dreamwidth or on Discord. Comments to this post are not screened.

Assignments are due December 5 at 11:59PM PST. Remember to respect your recipient's DNWs and do not disclose their identity or any part of your creation in public until works are revealed.

There are a few initial pinch hits resulting from the matching algorithm, they will be posted once your mod makes some tea.

Signups will close in 2 hours, at October 4 11:59PM Pacific Time. The signup form is here.

The spreadsheet of nominations organised by era is here.

Belatedly realised your favourite ship isn't in the tagset? Leave up to five properly formatted and eligible ships in comments here and I will add them.

A spreadsheet of nominated ships organinsed by fandom will be posted tonight before signups open.

We have over 700 nominations already, and your mod has a few clarification comments and questions!

Disambiguating Crossover Noms
When nominating Star Wars Character/Non-Star Wars Character ships, please put the canon the non-Star Wars character comes from in the nom itself. This is especially important for characters that exist in multiple adaptations, like Daenerys Targaryen.

& Ships
There's a handful of & ships nominated - please either edit them to be / ships, or use the slot for a ship you do want the / version of. I don't want to just reject them and make you lose your slots, but I do need to do something with them so I can see other noms.

Armitage Hux/Tentacles
'Tentacles' is too broad - please edit to be a specific creature or type of creature.

Armitage Hux/Gabriel Lorca | Mirror Gabriel Lorca (Star Trek)
Do you want Prime!Lorca or Mirror!Lorca?

Welcome to Star Wars Rares 2020! I am so grateful to spookykingdomstarlight for the years we've had so far, and I'm honoured to take up the mod role this year. The schedule has shifted a bit to stay on weekends, and I have added some clarifications to the rules surrounding DNWs and the level of good faith participation expected of those who sign up, but other than that, not much has changed. I can't wait to see the all the works that will come out of this year's exchange!
