Signups are Live

[chocolateboxmod]

Happy new year (or close enough to it to count!), 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, at least one relationship for each fandom to request and two 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 "Uncategorized 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 2019. We 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!

Also, as a reminder, please be careful about which tag you use, especially when there are characters with very similar names!

Merry Chocolateboxmas and we look forward to your signups!

Is there a reason we have to offer 2 or more ships within a fandom?

There is a fandom I'm interested in writing for. Three of the four nominated relationships are out of my comfort zone, but here is one that I'd really like to write. Since it's already possible to nominate a fandom with just one pairing (so presumably there will be lots of offers with just one pairing in the offer), wouldn't it make sense to allow any offers to have only one pairing?

Thanks!

Yes, there is a reason for it. It's to increase matchability across the board so that we have fewer initial pinch hits and fewer people having to amend their offers so that they can match to people. Given the size of the exchange, this can really only be done with at least two relationships being offered per fandom.

Fair enough! Thanks for the response.

No problem! We really have considered running it with one relationship per fandom (as I think last year was the only time we weren't asked this question) but we just can't.
