Signups open!

[chocolateboxmod]

Happy new year, dear chocolatiers! Welcome to signups!

You can find the signup form here. You need a minimum of 3 fandoms to request and 4 to offer, and up to ten for requests and offers. You also need to choose whether you want fanfic, fanart, or you would like either of them. Here is the tagset. If you cannot find your fandom, please look in "Unassigned Fandoms". If you are offering a fandom with only one ship nominated, you need to tick the "Any" checkbox for that fandom.

Requests are currently visible but you are free to edit your signup until 11:59pm EST on 7 January 2017. I may be a little late in closing signups, but please do not rely on this.

A reminder:

• Character A & Character B = genfic
• Character A/Character B = shipfic.

Please do not mix these two up!

Happy sign-ups! Requests are visible and a text file will be created with all prompts on the close of signups, but there will also be a letter post going up shortly.

EDIT: If you nominated Heathers (1988), please comment with a link to your nominations so that I can insert your nominated tags back into the tag set.

Some of my nominations are not visible in the tagset despite being accepted. I nominated

✔ Marvel 616
✔ Rumiko Fujikawa/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (616)
✔ Rumiko Fujikawa/Tony Stark (616)

and

✔ Marvel Cinematic Universe
✔ Rumiko Fujikawa/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (MCU)
✔ Rumiko Fujikawa/Tony Stark (MCU)

yet in the MCU tagset only the polyship is visible, while in 616 only the couple is available.

This is a two-pronged issue!

The nomination for Rumiko Fujikawa/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (616) has been reinserted now. I'm not sure where it went.

Rumiko Fujikawa does not appear in the MCU and therefore those nominations are actually crossovers. I've checked the Crossover Fandom and they appear there. The one in the MCU tag is a mistake, but I can't remove it at this stage.

I hope that helps!

I was actually trying to nominate her as an MCU version. The character was reported in early drafts of IM2 but was cut later, so I figured it wasn't too much of a stretch.

[chocolateboxmod]

I'm afraid that early drafts wouldn't count.

I've gone through signups and it looks like no one had requested or offered Rumiko/Steve/Tony in MCU, and so I've taken the tag out. It is still in the crossover fandom, and it was an oversight on my part that when I was asked to move the poly ship into the crossover fandom I neglected to remove it from MCU. I apologize for the inconvenience.

It looks like Mordecai Heller/Nico Savoy/Serafine Savoy from Lackadaisy appears in the tag set but isn't an option on the drop-down in the sign-up form. Not sure if this needs any action, but thought I'd flag it.

That is a known AO3 bug! What you need to do is to copy the tag as it appears in the tagset into your signup, and the form will recognize it.

Hey! Just wanted to give you a heads up that it looks like the sign-up form is letting people repeat fandoms in separate requests/offers. (I ran across someone with three separate requests for Orphan Black while I was looking through the requests summary.)

No idea if anyone has repeated offers, of course, but the sign-up let me put the same fandom in two separate offers when I tried it, so I figured I'd mention it.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! It's absolutely against the rules, so I've done a post about it now.
