This is where you can post your Dear Spacer letter!

As you might know, it's possible to exceed the space for prompts that AO3 gives us, or wish for formatting beyond what AO3 allows. Some of us also really like writing letters. And hey, who doesn't want to write a letter with the title Dear Spacer? Link your letter in the comments!

For consistent formatting, let's use this as the base of our comments:

AO3 name: Letter: <a href="URL">letter link</a> <b>Fandom 1</b> (requested mediums, e.g. fanfic, fanart, vids, podfic, IF) Tag A Tag B <b>Fandom 2</b> (requested mediums) Tag C <b>Fandom 3</b> (requested mediums) Tag D Tag E Tag F Tag G

Sign-ups are open! Sign-ups end 28 Feb 19:00 EET (in your timezone | countdown)

Requests

For at least 3 fandoms (and at most 8):

1. Pick the fandom.
2. Choose 1 to 15 tags you'd like to receive. Bear in mind that you will only match on one of these, so don't try to set up combinations.
3. Choose which media type(s) you'd like for the gift to be in – fic, art, vid, or pod format. (This can be different for each fandom.)

Fandoms must be unique.

Prompts are useful for giving your assigned creator somewhere to start from. We recommend writing prompts for each type of fanwork you requested, either into the box provided by AO3, or into a linked "Dear Spacer" letter.

If you have DNWs that would ruin a gift for you, please state them in the optional details box in the sign-up on AO3. DNWs will not be enforced if:

• They aren’t indicated in the optional details box


• They contradict the requested tags (e.g. requesting character A but DNWing character A)


• They contradict each other


• Avoiding them would require a logic puzzle

If you are requesting podfic, please tell the potential podficcers whether you would be okay with your own works being podficced.

If you are given a gift that contains a DNW listed in your sign-up, you are eligible for a replacement. Gifts will be randomly spot-checked as they come in and dealt with if necessary, but should a DNW-containing gift make its way to you, please contact the mod at extrapenguin at gmx dot com. You may also contact me if you suspect (through e.g. tag shaking) that your gift will contain a DNW. In cases where a gift contains a DNW due to unclear phrasing of the DNW, we will err on the side of the author.

Offers

For at least 3 fandoms (and at most 10):

1. Pick the fandom.
2. Choose 2 to 20 tags you'd be willing to create a gift in. If the fandom only has 1 tag, or you're truly happy with creating something about any of the tags in the tagset, choose "Any". As with offers, please remember that you will only match on one tag.
3. Choose which media type(s) you'd be willing to create in – fic, art, vid, or pod format. (This can be different for each fandom.)

Fandoms must be unique.

If you have matching concerns – e.g. you absolutely do not want to match with another participant – please contact the mod at extrapenguin at gmx dot com during sign-ups and state whether you do not want to create for the person, do not want that person to create for you, or both.
