Rules Reminder:

When signing up, please keep in mind that repeating fandoms in requests and offers is allowed, but there must be at least 3 unique fandoms requested, and 4 unique fandoms offered.

If your current sign-up does not meet this requirement, please edit it by the time sign-ups close. Else, your sign-up will be deleted after sign-ups close, before matches are made.

To clarify, "Original Work: Solo Human Character | Human Ships" and "Original Work: Solo Nonhuman Character | 1+ Nonhuman Characters in Ships" do count as separate (unique) fandoms.

If there are any questions, please feel free to comment on this post, or send an email to implodinglittlehearts@gmail.com.

Sign-ups are now open, through May 28 8:30 pm EDT!

• Tagset here.
  
• Sign-up form here.
  
• Descriptions of the horror type tags here.
  
• More information about requests, offers, and matching here.

To clarify:

• "Original Work: Solo Human Character | Human Ships" and "Original Work: Solo Nonhuman Character | 1+ Nonhuman Characters in Ships" do count as separate (unique) fandoms. They can be found under Uncategorized Fandoms in the tagset.
  
• Fandom repeats are allowed as long as there are at least 3 unique fandoms requested, and 4 unique fandoms offered.

New for 2021:

• Participants can request "Opt-In" Horror Types in addition to the Horror Type tags that are in the tagset. These Opt-Ins cannot be matched on. However, if named and described in optional details, a creator could choose to create based on the Opt-In instead of the tagset Horror Type.
• For example, if somebody opted-in to XYZ Horror by saying so and briefly described their interpretation of XYZ Horror (citing sources such as TV Tropes is welcome), then their assigned creator could create for XYZ Horror instead of the tagset Horror Type they matched on. My hope is that this can allow transparent flexibility to accommodate niches that may not be adequately represented by the more general Horror Types in the tagset.

Optional details, while in no way required, are very welcome.

Some creators might be happier to work with relatively more open-ended requests, while others may find it easier to work with requests that already contain a few optional prompts or a letter.

As sign-ups begin to near the end, please consider adding optional details to your-sign up if you have yet to do so. They can be as short or long as you wish, and contain whatever information you think might be useful to your creator. It might be especially useful if the optional details tie into the exchange's theme in some way.

If you'd like to add optional details but are unsure of what to say, below are just a few examples of what could be included -

What you like about horror as a genre in general.

What you especially like about the Horror Type tags you've selected for the request. For suggested tropes, please see the community's definitions of the Horror Types.

What aspects of the fandom and/or relationships requested you think could lend themselves well to horror.

Some specific ideas for optional prompts. If you do provide optional prompts related to certain Horror Types, please try your best to make sure that they align with the community's definitions of the Horror Types.

That being said, please do keep in mind that optional details cannot be enforced and are in no way guaranteed to be included in your gift. Only DNWs listed in the AO3 sign-up box are enforceable.
