Sign-up on AO3. You will need an AO3 account, but their queue is down to less than a day.

Fic Corner Tag Set. There are six fandoms currently stuck in Uncategorized, due to a bug. If you have a problem nominating or requesting one of these six fandoms, please let me know.

Dear Fic Corner Scribbler letters at DW/LJ.

Requests

You must request at least three fandoms, and can request up to ten. You may request between 0 (any) and 10 characters. The exchange is set up to match ANY, not ALL to increase odds of matching. You may not be matched on ALL the characters you request.

By requesting Any, a participant is requesting Any characters on the fandom's nomination list. Do not be that person who requests Any in Fandom F, but writes about specifically wanting Character Z from Fandom F who wasn't nominated.

You may also request Any if you want fics focused on worldbuilding instead of a specific character(s).

Prompt URL: If you want to leave a Dear Fic Corner Scribbler letter for your writer, this is the place to do so.

Description: Optional details are optional, however, if you want to give your writer ideas, this is the place to do it, whether you write a letter or not.

Rating: List all ratings you're comfortable with. Some people prefer fic that celebrates their childhoods, some people want to see it totally ruined. Like characters, you will be matched on one or more ratings. Please choose all ratings you are comfortable with.. Any means that you are comfortable with ALL of the rating possibilities.

Offers

You must offer a minimum of 3 fandoms, maximum of 10. You may offer up to 10 characters or offer Any.

The bucket list is enabled, so you can offer more than 10 fandoms, but any fandoms in the bucket list default to ANY characters, ANY ratings. More information about making a bucketlist offer (including a lovely diagram) can be found in the Yuletide sign-up instructions.

Don't forget to request/offer fandoms you want. If you're lukewarm about a fandom, don't request it or offer it. Chances are this will be the fandom you receive/are assigned.

Once at least five people have signed up, you'll be able to keep track of current request/offer numbers via the signup summary.

You may edit your sign up form until sign ups close on the 29th.

Dear Fic Corner Scribbler/Optional Details are Optional

[evil_plotbunny]

Sign-ups are open. The sign-up summary can be reached from the sidebar once at least 5 people have signed up.

Post or link your Dear Fic Corner Scribbler letters here.
You'll want to list the following at a minimum:

your AO3 Name (especially if it's different from the name you're commenting with).
Fandom 1
Fandom 2
etc.
Link to your letter on or off LJ/DW

You can also post your entire letter in the comments.

A note on optional details
Optional details are optional, but participants may have very strong feelings about how they want their childhood fandoms to be handled. Respecting the ratings you match on is not optional and I ask that you also respect any squicks/strong feelings expressed in their letters.

That being said, your letter is not the place to ask for a character who wasn't nominated or a specific relationship, unless it's one of several options (or something like "I love everyone/Character X, so feel free to include them if you want"). Remember that your writer only signed up to write the characters listed and might not be prepared to write for other characters. Don't make your writer sad because they know they can't please you.

Fandom squee post

The nice thing about children's book fandoms is they're mostly short (I'm looking at you, Chalet School), so now might be the perfect time to pick up a new fandom or revisit an old favorite.

Tell us why we should read your awesome fandom in the comments. Don't forget to link to legal sources, if they're available. Many long out of print books are now appearing as ebooks. And there's always the library.
