There are two phases of the exchange before matching happens and assignments go out. The first phase is nominations, the second is sign-ups. Nominations are how we assemble the tagset for the exchange - in other words, the options people can request or offer when they sign up.

Nominations

Whether you’re firmly planning on participating, not sure if you’ll sign up, or just lurking but hoping to see particular elements in fanworks in the collection, you are invited to nominate.

The only requirement to nominate is that you have an AO3 account. (If you do not have an AO3 account and would like to create one so you can participate, let the mods know if you need an invite code.)

  • You may nominate up to 20 fandoms, with a maximum of 10 character tags and 10 worldbuilding tags per fandom.
  • When nominating, please copy and paste the fandom names from the list below. We use several fandoms that are not canonical in the AO3 sense, and AO3 is very precise about tags. (Extra spaces and en-dash vs em-dash have been issues in past rounds.)
  • Do not accept suggestions from AO3 about fandom names - use the names and abbreviations given in the list at the end of this post.
  • Check the tagset before nominating to be sure your character or group has not already been nominated! AO3 will not allow exact duplicates, but it also will not warn you if you are repeating an existing nomination in a slightly different form. We do our best to approve tags quickly, so the tag list should usually be up to date.
  • There are two types of tags you can nominate, Character and Worldbuilding. Please read the explanations below before nominating to ensure your nominations are accepted!

With nominations over, sign-ups begin! Sign-ups are when you actually commit to participating in the exchange - if you sign up, you are saying you will create something for a recipient assigned to you. The minimum requirements are 500 words or a nice sketch on unlined paper. Details are below on what is required in your sign-up, how matching works, assignments and deadlines.
