Slightly belatedly, the feedback post!

This year, I moved internationally during the exchange (pro tip: don't do this), with the actual moving date being the day sign-ups ended so I handled noms and sign-ups while packing (pro tip: super don't do this), and essentially felt like I was juggling about three balls too many at any given time. Hopefully this feeling of complete chaos did not reach you, but if it did, don't worry, I will not be moving, internationally or otherwise, next year!

With the above disclaimed, if you have any feedback, I'd be happy to hear it! (Even if it's "you sure seemed more disorganized than usual this year" or whatnot.) Requests on where to advertise? Wishes for a clearer FAQ/instructions?

Hello! We are having a fabulous time seeing all the nominations come in and reading your fandom promos! Some have been such a welcome surprise – wow! This old and incredibly active fandom is now sleepy enough to qualify! Let’s wake it up!!! And so on.

First a slight rule clarification:

We are not accepting original character nominations in this round. If you have nominated OCs, you can reuse your relationship nomination slot. Otherwise these nominations will get rejected once nominations close.  (We will make exceptions for things like Player characters without canon names.)

We apologize for not including this in the original guidelines post, and will make the update there as well.
 

Additionally, we have a few questions about the following nominations:

  • Dune Series - Frank Herbert

            We are unsure how this is a stand alone from the other parts of the fandom. As a whole, Dune is ineligible. Can you clarify this for us?

  • Fawx & Stallion (Podcast)

            We couldn’t find the character Charlotte Watson. Can you clarify this for us?

  • North of North (TV 2025)

            Does OFC stand for 'Original Female Character'? We are not accepting original characters at this time. If you’d like to change this, you can reuse your relationship nomination slot.

  • 선의의 경쟁 | Friendly Rivalry (TV)

            We found over 100+ qualifying works after applying the relevant filters. Can you provide some clarification?

  •  Inglourious Basterds (2009)

            We are not accepting original characters at this time. If you’d like to change this, you can reuse your relationship nomination slot. Could you please also disambiguate your nominations.

  • Method (2017)

            We are not accepting original characters at this time. If you’d like to change this, you can reuse your relationship nomination slot. Could you please also disambiguate your nominations.

  • He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

            For the nomination of Huntara (She-Ra)/Teela (He-Man), we are unable to determine if Huntara is a character who appears in the nominated He-Man series. If they are a She-Ra exclusive character, can you please nominate this ship under Crossover Fandom (if the She-Ra fandom also qualifies)?

  • She-Ra: Princess Of Power (1985)

            Similarly, for the  Adora (She-Ra)/Kittrina (He-Man), can you please confirm if Kittrina appears in the nominated She-Ra verse? If they are a He-Man exclusive character, please nominate under Crossover Fandom

 

We have received many nominations without disambiguations. Please disambiguate your nominations. It prevents wandering tags and helps speed up the review process a lot.

Please reply to this comment if you have nominated any of the above fandoms or can help us out with regards to their eligibility. Please write the fandom in question as your reply subject. Alternatively, you can also use our evidence post here.

Additionally, please let us know if you catch any dupes or wandering tags or other oddities in the tag set. We'll fix that asap!

 

 

Nominations Queries

Signups have just opened, and nominations are still ongoing!

We have two three nominations queries at this time. If you were one of the nominators of these tags, we would appreciate you helping us with clarifications:
  • Little Shop of Horrors - Menken/Ashman: The tag "Chantel (Little Shop of Horrors)" was nominated, but we are having trouble confirming that this character exists. Could the nominator share information on where they appear in the canon?
  • Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! | Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!: The tag "Sheriff Dekastop (Eizouken)" was nominated, but we are having trouble confirming that this character exists. Could the nominator share information on where they appear in the canon?
  • Heartbeat (UK TV): The tag "Cup of Tea (Object and Concept Anthropomorphism)" was nominated, but we wanted to double-check if this is indeed a nomination for a cup of tea that appears in Heartbeat—in which case it should be disambiguated with the proper fandom—or if it was an error.


Thank you!

Hello, fellow gumshoes! We have a week left until sign-ups close. Signups are open until Sunday 27 April. [ In your timezone + Countdown. ] You can view the tagset for our approved canons and relationships.

  • Please refer to our sign-up guidelines if you're interested in signing up!

  • Please make sure you make yourself matchable as a creator. One of the easiest ways to do this is to look at the the sign-up summary, requests summary and AO3 app.

  • Please also make sure that you include casefic likes in your sign-up. Prompts are required for this exchange, and I will be contacting participants who have signed up that don't have clear casefic likes in their sign-up asking them to add some. If you're needing some inspiration on how to prompt, I've compiled a list of prompts for you to refer to.

Enjoy what's left of your annual leave before you're put to work solving the case of the year! See you in a week! 🩷

2025 Nominations

[personal profile] flowersforgraves posting in [community profile] unconventionalfanworkex
Welcome to the official nominations post for 2025. Please read all guidelines before nominating.

Each participant may nominate a maximum of 5 medium types and 5 fandoms. There is no limit to the number of characters you may nominate in each fandom. In contrast to previous rounds, no relationships or groups may be nominated.

Can I Nominate...
- Original Works? Yes!
- RPF? Yes, as long as all nominated persons are 18+ and famous in their own right.
- Worldbuilding? Yes!
- Creator's Choice of Fandom? No. I will add this in at the end of nominations.
- "Any X Character"? Yes!
- Existing fanworks (in order to create recursive fanworks)? Yes, as long as you provide me with a link to a permission statement by the original fanwork creator. I will not search for this myself.

Please nominate fandom/characters and medium types in separate comments. This helps me keep track of them. If you include both in the same comment, I will only accept the one you've listed first. The first two top-level comments are examples from me.

If you're using a specific phrasing for a medium that may not be easily found with a quick web search, please include a link! This helps me determine if it's appropriate for this event and, further, to create a specific minimum.

Sorry for bothering you again with some of my thoughts. I hope you don't mind reading and helping me figure out what to do with it. Thank you!

It's because of the DW Points I have added as challenge rewards. Let me explain shortly, how I came up with the idea.

The idea of DW point rewards crossed my mind one day when I thought about making one or more of my communities paid communities to support the DW Team a bit more (because I think they're doing a great job and deserve the support). But to be honest, my communities are small, and a paid account wouldn't make much of a difference for most of their users.

So I came up with the idea of having small DW point rewards for the best participants at Fandom Empire, as a bit of a thank you for all their great works and for regular participation.

The last thing I want is to put participants under pressure or make them feel uncomfortable.

So, I am interested in your thoughts now. The poll is anonymous; everyone can see the results, but no one (not even me) will know who the participants are.

Poll #33012 DW Point Rewards
This poll is anonymous.

Signups now open!

20/4/25 23:26
littlefics: Three miniature books standing on an open normal-sized book. (Default)
[personal profile] littlefics posting in [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles
Signups are now open (a tiny bit early)! They will remain open until Monday, April 28 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). You can browse the requests in the app!

The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups. Please disambiguate your nominations to make the approvals process faster. IMPORTANT NOTE! If AO3 won't let you signup for a character that you know is definitely in the tagset, please comment here or email us with the exact fandom and character(s) you were trying to request/offer. A mod will then batch load it for you on the backend, and you will be able to request it.

  • You must request 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your requests must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars requests would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

  • If you wish, you may request Any for drabble type. This means you are open to receiving any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset.

  • If you wish, you may request Any character. This means any character in the canon (NOT just the tagset). Please do not request Any unless you really are open to receiving any character from that canon.

  • If you have character DNWs, requesting Any might not be the best idea, as this could end up with a bad match with someone who had only offered that character. We will be checking for this before we send assignments, but it's possible we could miss something, which would lead to us having to re-assign your writer and send you to pinch hit. (Note that the character DNW would still be upheld in this situation.) If you are requesting Any and do not wish to receive fic about objects, etc., you should DNW that as well.

  • Blank signups are allowed, but prompts, likes, and a list of DNWs are strongly encouraged.
 
Offers:

  • You must offer 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your offers must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars offers would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

  • If you wish, you may offer Any for drabble type. This means you are open to writing any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset. (Note that unless your recipient has also requested Any, you must write one of the specific drabble types they requested.)

  • If you wish, you may offer Any character. This means any character in the tagset (i.e., if your recipient has requested specific characters, you must write one of them). Please do not offer Any unless you really are open to writing any character in the tagset for that fandom (including any last-minute additions to the tagset).
 
Do Not Wants:

  • Only reasonable DNWs in your AO3 signup will be enforced.

  • A reasonable DNW is a DNW that is clear and does not attempt to box your writer into writing just one thing.


Other:

  • Some tags may not appear in the drop-down menu, but can still be used by copy-pasting from the tagset itself. This is a known AO3 bug.
 
  • If you encounter any issues while signing up, please let us know ASAP, as AO3 bugs can sometimes hit exchanges.

  • If you need to let us know something about your signup (such as not wanting to be assigned to a specific other participant), please contact us via email (seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail) or the mod contact post.

Guardian novel readalong


Welcome aboard for this week's chapters of our Guardian readalong!

Here are last week's chapters. You can find all previous discussions on the schedule post (vol. 1 part 1, vol. 1 part 2, vol. 2), or via the !readalong tag.

This week's chapters:
  • Chapter 17: Chu Shuzhi is freed of the merit shackles; Zhao Yunlan catches up with the Emissary at Kunlun Mountain and takes everyone to the peak, Daqing transforms into human shape, and Shen Wei and Ghost Face battle, and the Merit Brush makes an appearance.

  • Chapter 18: Shen Wei returns Daqing home, Zhao Yunlan talks to his father, and Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei have sex for the first time. Zhao Yunlan is unwell in the aftermath.

The corresponding part in the Chinese version on JJWXC/the fan translation starts with the last third of chapter 71 and goes up to the end of chapter 75.

Excerpts:

1) At the foot of Kunlun Mountain )

2) Shen Wei's greed )

3) Shen Wei vs. Ghost Face )

4) Zhao Yunlan and his father )

5) Zhao Yunlan vs. Shen Wei's plans )

Questions:

How did you like the battle between Shen Wei and Ghost Face? How cool is it to see Daqing change shape? What do you think about Zhao Yunlan's relationship with his father? Any thoughts about the parallels in the drama? Do you like how Weilan's first time turned out? How would you have liked it to go, if not like this?

And the big one: I understand exactly nothing of what happens on Kunlun Mountain, or what's going on with Zhao Yunlan afterwards. Help?

(As usual, these are just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like!)

Our schedule (which is also where you can sign up to host a post - please do if you can!)
