Space Swap Sign Ups

  • Jan. 4th, 2014 at 9:14 AM
Sign ups open from now to February 8, 2014


Please feel free to spread the word and promote the exchange. The more the merrier!


Requests, Offers, and Matching

You will need to request at least 3 fandoms, and can request up to 6. For each fandom, you can request up to 4 nominated characters. If you select 0, the person assigned to you may make something with any nominated character or general worldbuilding.

You'll also need to offer at least 3 fandoms, and can offer up to 10. For each fandom, you must offer to create for at least 2 of the nominated characters. You can also offer 'any'.

Matching will work on the following categories:
- fandom
- freeform (fanwork type)
- character
All fields are part of the tag set

You may select 'other' as a freeform but it cannot be the only option selected. Details about 'other' fanworks you are interested in receiving can be noted under optional details or in a 'Dear Spacer' letter*.

You may focus on one, some or all of the characters in your assignment - you are not required to incorporate all. A reminder that when choosing the option 'Any' means that you could potentially match to anything in that category.

I think I've corrected it. We had 'must be unique' selected on the settings-- which was apparently wrong?

I've just done a mock signup and it seems to be working, but let me know if you still have trouble.

Most of the errors are gone now, except this one:


Sorry! We couldn't save this ChallengeSignup because:

Request: your Request must include between 3 and 6 fandom tags, but you have included 1 fandom tags in your current Request.
Offer: your Offer must include between 3 and 10 fandom tags, but you have included 1 fandom tags in your current Offer.

what's a fandom tag? Am I supposed to be clicking more than one fandom for each request or something?

I had to close my browser and try again after I corrected the settings.

It's because I had the challenge set to 3 requests/offers as the minimum and I also had 3 as the minimum fandom tag (which was wrong and yup -- I had it on both the request and the offer).
Sorry, hosting on AO3 is new for me. Ack!

"Must be unique" means that each of offers/requests has to have a unique fandom. Unchecking it allows for people to request/offer the same fandom more than once but give different character options for each.

Thanks, that's what I thought but then people were having issues so I thought maybe I was wrong.
Yes, "must be unique" is selected on the fandom category on the "request settings" because you can only request/offer a fandom once. The actual culprit was that I had 3 fandom minimum on the "request settings" as well as in the number of "requests and offers" section - (sorry, more back-end details than people need I think and wow, what awkward AO3 terminology- LOL)

tl;dr
In any case, the signup should be squared away. Let me know if you encounter any issues.
