surplusgoose will be handling matching and sending the assignments (see: international move on the main mod's part), so if you have any concerns about matching to specific creators, please contact them at havesomemorehonks at gmail dot com.

Note: AO3 has introduced a setting to opt out of non-assignment gifts. If your account was created after 1 Feb 2022, it has been enabled by default. Note that opting out of non-assignment gifts will make it impossible to receive treats, even if they are posted to an exchange you're signed up for, as well as make certain (rare) issues harder for me to resolve. If possible, I highly suggest you enable non-assignment gifts for the duration of the exchange or send me an e-mail (extrapenguin at gmx dot com) if you cannot so that I can do some workarounds. If you have concerns regarding specific potential gifters, please contact me.

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, IF, 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. (Tips on prompting for art.)

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


• (NEW for 2025) They are hidden behind a summary/details HTML tag

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. DNWs apply to the gift, not its metadata. A creator is free to tag as they best think describes the work.

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, IF, 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 SurplusGoose at havesomemorehonks at gmail 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.
