Assignments are out!

Assignments are out!

Please check your AO3 assignments page or the email you have associated with Ao3 and see who you were assigned to! There were two initial pinch hits, both of which will be posted in a few minutes. If you’d like to sign up for a newsletter for pinch hits, it’s here.

We have done our best to try to ensure that everyone has a good match, but if there is an issue with yours, please contact either mod privately or go through our inbox. We will handle things discretely and privately.  

Since assignments have gone out, there are a couple things we’d like  all authors and artists out there to keep in mind:

• You are only committing to writing or drawing one thing for your assigned recipient. That means, of the 5+ ideas they have offered, you are committing to writing one. If they asked for two pairings in the same line, you’re obligated to write only one of the two (your choice). 
• Please remember that the spirit of this exchange is for rare pairings.Do not use the exchange to try to write/draw a mega-popular pairing, with a less-popular pairing in the background. We do not allow backdoor mega-pairings to dominate works in this exchange.
• Please do not post your fic or art on Tumblr/DeviantArt/etc until the exchange has been revealed. It is imperative that everyone gets their gifts at the same time.
• Please don’t contact your recipient directly. If you have questions you want to ask them, please contact us! We are happy to be intermediaries for you!
• If you are writing a story that features elements Ao3 has default warnings for, such as underage/non-con/etc, remember to tag your stories for such elements to advertise it to those that want it and respect those that don’t.
• You are obligated to respect your recipient’s DNW/squicks, but optional details are otherwise that - optional.
• Please be careful to not reveal who your recipient is. Posting “I’m so excited about my assignment!” is fine; posting “I’m so excited about writing Shoker for my best friend @participant!” is not.

If you have any questions or comments, be sure to let us know!
