Final tagset update

[ladybrooke]

In order to open signups on time, I've made the following changes to the tagset:

Les Miserables has been divided into Victor Hugo, 2012, and Schönberg/Boublil, characters repeated for all three. Let me know by 23:00 PM UTC if there is an issue.

Cosmere - Brandon Sanderson has been divided as outlined in this question post. Like above, let me know by 23:00 PM UTC if there is an issue.

X-men Comicverse is allowed in this year. Any requests not under specific comic universes (for example, Age of Apocalypse) will be rejected next year.

Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist will be rejected if evidence to consider him female is not given by the time signups are set to open.


Unless there are changes to the above, the tagset is now in its final form. If anything is missing, let me know before signups open.

Barring unforeseen disasters, signups will open at 23:59 PM UTC tonight, or in roughly three hours from time of post.  See you all then!

Signups Are Now Open

Schedule/Dates | Question Post | Rules & FAQ | Tagset | Ao3 Collection

Signups are open! You can signup at this link, view existing requests here, or attempt to view the signup summary here. Tagset link is located above. For the curious, we ended up with 2487 characters/groups in 385 fandoms. :D 

Since the signup summary is broke for almost all participants in almost all exchanges at the moment, I will try to keep an updated version on the comm, starting around 4 am UTC today (as long as there's enough signups by then). Expect updates twice a day or so, more when I can. Signup summary on comm is now here.

Important Info:

- Matching is OR. Your writer/artist will match on at least one character/group tag and one freeform (art or fic) tag in the fandom - it's possible they'll match on more, but that's all that's guaranteed.

- For requests, you must have a minimum of 3 distinct fandoms, with at least one character tag and one freeform tag per request. You may request up to 10 fandoms, with up to 20 characters per fandom and up to 2 media type freeforms.

- For offers, you must have a minimum of 4 distinct fandoms, with at least one character tag and one freeform tag per offer. You may offer up to 10 fandoms, with up to 20 characters per fandom and up to 2 media type freeforms.

- As long as you meet the minimum number of fandoms, your additional requests/offers may be different fandoms or the same ones. For example, you want to have 7 request slots of Star Wars: Rebels characters with different DNWs/media type freeforms/characters? That's fine, as long as you have two additional fandoms as well.

- DNWs must be included in the request description on Ao3 to be enforced.

- Letters may be linked, but are not required.

- Signups will close at 11:59 PM UTC on June 11th. A countdown clock is located here. The full list of dates can be found at the schedule link above, along with expanded rules at the Rules/FAQ link.

Have fun, everyone! It's been great seeing all the characters nommed, and I'm sure signups are going to be as interesting to see. :D

ETA: Mod signup is not for real, just an experiment to figure out things when they go wrong.

In this case, some characters are not showing up in the menu after a fandom is put in, even though they're in the tagset. It will still work and let you sign up if you copy and paste exactly what is in the tagset into the character field.

I have no idea why some aren't showing up (if anybody does, please let me know, especially if I can fix it).

There's now a post about characters not appearing in menu bug is here.
