everywomanGeneral Exchange Faq by bridgetmkennitt
What characters are eligible?
All female characters are eligible.
What about characters that are unclear on if they are female?
For the sake of the exchange a character will be allowed in if a reasonable person can see why someone might interpret the character as female. It is not meant to be a be all and end all statement on the character.
What is exchanged?
You can exchange either fic with a minimum of 500 words or a piece of artwork at the nice sketch stage. The sketch cannot be on lined paper. There is no upper limit.
Why is the minimum so low?
Because that is what people voted for.
What fandoms are eligible?
There are no rarity requirements for this. Traditional fandoms, RPF, and some fanworks are eligible. You can also request Original Works.
There are three rules for RPF:
1. For contemporary RPF the individuals must be over the age of 18.
2. Non-famous friends and family are not eligible
3. The person in question can be removed from the tagset at the request of the individual
What are nominations?
Nominations is where you nominate the fandoms and characters that you are interested in receiving in this exchange. Each person can nominate four fandoms with four characters from each fandom. This means a total of sixteen possible characters.
What is the minimum/maximum for signing up?
You must make 3-10 requests. Each request has one fandom, 1-10 characters, and 1-2 mediums. You must make 4-10 offers. Each offer has one fandom, 2-10 characters, and 1-2 mediums. Any can be selected for characters and medium. Any means any nominated not any character in the fandom. If only one character is nominated for a fandom you want to offer then just select any to make sign ups work.
You also have the option to add optional details or a letter. These can be very useful to give your writer/artist ideas for possible treats. It can also be invaluable for telling them what you do not want at all. Authors/artist should respect the do not want list, however the requester should not abuse it to try and force the author/artist into a corner.
What if no one offers what I request?
Then you will go to the pinch hit list and someone will claim you.
What if I can’t complete my assignment?
Then please default ASAP. The sooner you do the sooner a pinch hitter can take over your assignment and make a gift. If you default then you will not go to the pinch hit list if your writer/artist defaults.
