Pinch Hitter Requests

Requirements:

  • You have picked up a pinch hit.
  • You are not signed up to the exchange under any username.
  • You would like the chance to get treats!

If the above all fit you, then this is where you make requests as a pinch hitter so that treaters can see them!

You should post your requests as a reply to this post. If you want to split your fandom requests into separate replies, please reply to yourself after your first post.

Guidelines:

Since the mods will be checking works to confirm they fill requests, there are some guidelines to help us out!

  • Each request should include the following:
Fandom:
Relationship/Character/Worldbuilding Tags:
Medium/Length Opt-Ins:
Details: (DNWs should be labeled clearly as "DNW" or "Do Not Want".)
Letter link: (Optional.)
  • Medium and Length Opt-Ins must be in the tagset and must be requested using the exact wording of the tag.
  • Please don't remove or significantly change the tag part of requests after you post them, unless adding additional requests/tags.
  • If linking to more than one letter (or any other link that contains multiple subposts/links), you must list any requested fandoms/tags in your comment to this post so that mods can verify gifts fill your request. This doesn't apply to the auto-app as long as it's clear and easy to verify what you're requesting.

We had a ton of relationships nominated last year (almost 14000!) so there's a good chance that many of those will be nominated again this year! Since the format of relationship nominations are not changing, we'll be transferring fandoms/relationship tags from last year's tagset to this year's tagset upon request. This should be a very quick and easy process for us since we already have the batch loads generated from last year's tagset.

This year, we are putting some limits on fandom transfers because the bigger the tagset it is the slower it loads, and also we think tagsets are more exciting when you can be pretty sure that what's nominated will be requested/offered. The new limits are:

  • Each person can only request 10 fandoms be transferred. If you need more fandoms than that for some reason, please use the regular nominations process to nominate everything else.
  • For fandoms with 39 or fewer relationship tags, we will transfer all relationship tags. Use the instructions under "Transferring Full Fandoms" below.
  • For fandoms with 40+ relationship tags, you can only ask for 20 relationships to be transferred. Use the instructions under "Transferring Specific Tags From Fandoms" below.
  • More than one person can ask for relationships to be transferred from a fandom!

Note that the transferring process will only work for tags that were in last year's tagset and will only transfer those tags exactly as they appeared in that tagset!

If there have been changes to your fandoms that would change the fandom tag, this is also a good time to let us know about those. This is especially true if a fandom nominated separately last year is in danger of synning into a larger fandom this year.

2022 Tagset: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/12306
2023 Tagset: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/16669

If I say your noms have been transferred but you can't find them in the tagset, please let me know!

Transferring Full Fandoms

Please reply to this post with your list with each fandom on a new line. Fandoms must be exactly as they appear in the tagset (not including the number in brackets) or the import will fail.

Transferring Specific Tags From Fandoms

Please reply to this post with your fandom and the tags you want transferred in batch load format (Fandom,Relationship,Relationship,Relationship), with each fandom on a new line. All tags must be exactly as they appear in the 2022 tagset (not including the number in brackets) or the import will fail.

"WB: Any" tags will be added to every fandom at the end of nominations, so do not need to be transferred here!

Nominating

Nomination is how you add things to the tagset! Mediums aren't matchable via Ao3, but participants can opt into mediums other than fanfiction. If you're someone who wishes to match on one of those mediums as a creator you'll be able to email us (ficinaboxmod@gmail.com) or contact us here on DW.

This post is where you should nominate any mediums you want added to the tagset!

If you're nominating a medium where the equivalent needs to be discussed you should only nominate if you are someone who intends to create the medium within the exchange. If it's a new length opt-in, another form of something already in the tagset, or something that fits easily into the Rulesets anyone can nominate.

When nominating a medium, please include the following categories:

You may also nominate a medium with Unique Rules instead of a ruleset. In the interest of avoiding rules creep, new Unique Rules mediums should only be mediums that absolutely cannot fit into a ruleset and which have multiple people interested in creating them, or which can either be added to an existing set of Unique Rules or added as a variation to that section

New Category

This year we have a potential new category: Typographic Design! These are intended to be document or poster style pages which are graphically designed by the creator to fill a request. They may have supplemental images, but if the images are not created by the person submitting it to the exchange they must follow the standard requirements for outside images (either from the canon or CC licensed images).
  • Minimum: One finished page.
  • Equivalent: One finished page is equivalent to 1k.
  • If the text within a page goes over 1k, instead of the base 1k credit you will get the text credit (please note in the author's note how much this is).
  • Supplementary images drawn by you are 3=1k (~334 each). (Please indicate in your author's note if these are included.)
  • No mediums will be automatically added to this category, so we're relying on those of you who want to make these to nominate them! Any tags already under other rulesets which make sense as having a typographical design option will almost certainly be accepted.
