Signups Open!

New Sign-Ups | Request Summary | Sign-Up Summary | Tagset | Letters | Explanation on Character Matching in Trick or Treat | Community Challenge | Schedule & FAQ | AO3 Collection| Countdown Until Sign-Ups Close

Signups are now open! They will close on September 18 at 23:59 PM UTC, or 7:59 PM EDT.

ETA: The dropwdown in the relationship field does not seem to be working. These are the tags from the tagset which are supposed to go in it:

Treat - Art
Treat - Fic
Trick - Art
Trick - Fic

You must pick at least one in order to sign up. It's working, thank you sirvalkyrie.

Also, the additional tags on offers don't mean anything. You can check any box. They are only used to indicate your preferences when it comes to gifts, so that people who may want to treat your requests know what to do.

What are we meant to put in the Relationships field? It says it's required and we're supposed to select between 1-4 options, but nothing is showing up in the drop-down. Should we copy "Treat - Art" etc over from the tagset?

[pumpkinkingmod]

It appears the dropdown bug is affecting this field. Yes, those are the tags that belong in that section. I will update the post to reflect that. Thank you for bringing it up.

[snickfic]

Sorry, I have another question - it doesn't matter which box I check in my offers re: trick/treat and art/fic preferences, does it? I'm assuming we're not matching on that.

[pumpkinkingmod]

It doesn't matter in offers at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, doesn't it? (I know it doesn't matter in the section on preferences for "extra treats," but for the main gift, you do have to match on your offer for fic vs. art, at least, don't you?)

[pumpkinkingmod]

Yes. It’s the part about ignoring preferences for extra gifts that doesn’t matter.

[snickfic]

Awesome, ty! One more question - are we allowed to repeat fandoms, like if I make an two MCU requests with different characters? Because it looks like currently I can do that.

EDIT: Wait, never mind, I'm looking at something different. I'm going to DM you on discord about it.

Hey! Just letting you know the Tony Stark typo tag for “marvels avengers (video games)” under uncategorozed fandom is still there!

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you. I don't see it. It may be that AO3 lagged in showing it as gone; that occasionally happens.

That’s ok! Boo for A03!

What does "Notes to the Mod" mean in the Offers section of the signup?

[pumpkinkingmod]

If there's a request you would rather not be matched with, you can say so in that field.

Hi, I know signups have already opened, but I noticed both "Mizuki | Selene | Moon (PM MVGS)" and "Moon (PM MVGS)" are listed under "Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series)"—could you remove the second?

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you. I had removed it earlier, but it looks like something popped up on the backend with the associations that kept it in. It no longer shows up in the tagset.

Hey! Is there a way to put the BotB’s promotion in the sign-up form in the above part of the requests section? Not many people are opting in for this, and I don’t know how may come to Dreamwidth? I like to participate, but the chances are getting matched to someone that has also opted in (I know you can’t do it in offers) looks slim to none.

[pumpkinkingmod]

Thank you for your feedback. I have added a note about the community challenge to that section.

Np!!! And ty! :D

Hi, Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere but I can't seem to find any information on crossovers? I know you said that there is not a crossover section, but does that mean we cannot write / request them at all?

For example, say I request a certain character from a fandom, but put in the details section that I like seeing them paired with another character of a different fandom - is this allowed? And if so - can I offer crossovers as well?

[pumpkinkingmod]

Crossovers are not allowed as a fandom request, but what you put in your optional details is up to you. If you would like to prompt a crossover, that is fine. If someone you want to create for prompts a crossover, you may create a work with a crossover in it. There is no way for you to offer crossovers, because you will only match on fandom, character, medium preference, and trick or treat preference. You will not match on optional details or letters, which are the only places where someone can let you know if they would like crossovers.

Oh hell. I know someone does this every year and I never thought it would be me, but I misread the deadline and thought I had another hour. Literally just refreshed the signups page any found it closed. Any chance I could sneak in?

--and with great timing I'm not able to log in over here! AO3 account is Synergic though.

[pumpkinkingmod]

I am sorry not to have you this round, but unfortunately I cannot.

[synergic]

Totally fair, thank you for responding!
