What time is that for me? | Countdown

Sign ups are now open! Some quick instructions:

FOR REQUESTS:

- You must pick at least 4 fandoms, but you may choose up to 10. For each fandom, you are required to choose a medium (fic, art, podfic), and at least one tag (a character or a relationship). The maximum amount of character/relationship tags you are allowed is 20.

- Fandoms must be unique. That means you cannot request the same fandom twice.

- You are very welcome to leave prompts and/or a letter to your writer in your sign up. However, your writer is only required to create something that fulfills the minimum requirements of your request (medium, fandom, and character/relationship).

- If you have DNWs, include them in your sign up form. If they're not in your sign up, they won't be enforced. If you receive a work that includes a DNW, a new creator will be arranged for your request. Please do get in touch if this happens to you!

- You may select "any" when choosing tags for a specific fandom. This means that your request can be assigned to any creator who offered any combination of tags in that fandom. Use that option wisely!


FOR OFFERS:

- You must offer at least 4 fandoms, maximum is 10. Your fandoms must be unique for offers as well.

- You must also offer a medium (remember you may choose more than one), and between 2 - 20 character/relationship tags for each fandom.

- "Any" is an option for offers as well. Again, be sure you really mean "any" when choosing that option. Double check the tagset!

- For fandoms with only one nominated character/relationship tag: the sign up form normally requires you to select at least two. If there is only one tag nominated in the fandom, that means you must select "any."


SIGN UPS CLOSE MARCH 1ST, 10 PM MST.

TAGSET | COLLECTION

Have fun!

The tagset is now closed to nominations!

Keep an eye on the community for any further clarification posts. As I work my way through approvals, it will also help if you point out any typos/duplicate tags, or other errors.

Thank you!

Some more information needed on the following nominated tags!

Akira (Togainu no Chi)/Konoe (Lamento): These characters appear to be from two different fandoms, yet they were nominated under Togainu no Chi. If this is a crossover pairing, it needs to be nominated under Crossover Fandom!

And the following fandoms seem to be ineligible, unless I'm missing something. If there's ambiguity in the new material, or something I don't know, please speak up! Otherwise, feel free to go in and change your nominations so you don't lose your slots.

Death Note (Anime & Manga): There is a new chapter of Death Note due to be published next week.

Misfits TV: This show was on air until 2013, which would make it ineligible.

Wiedźmin | The Witcher Series - Andrzej Sapkowski: The last book in this series was published in 2013. Is it in the same continuity/contain the same characters?

Also, if you notice any typos, mistakes, or floating tags, do let me know so I can fix. Thank you, everyone!

Hi there, and welcome back! I had a fun time last year, so let's go for a second round, shall we? Below is the schedule for 2020 - modified slightly so that reveals are sliiiightly earlier.

Eligibility Review Period: January 16 - 28
Nominations: January 28 - February 11
Sign Ups: February 16 - March 1
Assignments will be sent by: March 6
Works due: April 30
Works Revealed: May 14, 9 AM MST
Authors Revealed: May 21

The pinned FAQ post, as well as the DW profile, has been updated with the 2020 schedule. Remember, for this year's round, the new cut off for fandoms is December 31, 2010. A new decade!

This post will also function as the eligibility post, for any fandoms you wish to nominate that you believe are on the line. Fandoms that were accepted last year will be automatically accepted this year, no need to make a case for those. The tagset is here if you wish to take a look.

When making your case, please include the canon's full name (as you would nominate it in the tagset), the date(s) of all the canon material that has been released, and your reasoning as to why I should accept it. Here's an example:

Ella Enchanted - Gail Carson Levine (1997)

A prequel, Ogre Enchanted, was published in 2018. While the events of Ogre take place in the same timeline/continuity, it follows a main character who did not appear in Ella. The main cast of Ogre is for the most part completely separate, apart from two characters (their identities being spoilers) who were extensively mentioned in Ella, but appeared only briefly in the original book. Therefore, I feel as if the two novels should be considered separate canons.

In cases of tie-in comics and novels, my rule of thumb is: 1. are the tie-ins well known? 2. are they by the same creators? and 3. does it clearly follow the original canon in terms of continuity/characters? If the answer is "no" to at least two of these, I won't consider them as disqualifying material. If you disagree with me about a particular judgment call, feel free to point out why - I'm not super familiar with everything, and Google can only do so much!

Lastly: you can comment here anonymously, and commenting here with your fandom does not qualify as an actual nomination. The tagset/collection for 2020 are not up yet, but I will add links to the pinned post once they are. 

The collection is now revealed. Go forth and enjoy! A big, super extra thank you to our pinch hitters, who definitely kept us on track.

Authors will be revealed on May 27. Have fun!

We're on track for fics to be revealed on time, tonight at 10 PM MST! Get your last minute edits in!

Treats can be posted up until author reveals. Remember to respect your creator's anonymity until that date, especially for folks receiving podfics!
