Other notes:

- This exchange may rely more heavily on "put in a good-faith effort" than other exchanges due to the nature of the fanwork. However, you are expected to create a quality gift you would be pleased to receive. Please keep that in mind when both requesting and offering.

- If possible, please host your fanwork on AO3. If not, you will still need to fulfill your assignment on AO3 in order to make it easier to tell when everyone has gotten a gift.

- Treats are extremely welcome, and do not have to fit the minimums.

- If you are requesting or offering a transformative medium (i.e., any medium that involves manipulating another fanwork, such as podfic or recursive fic), you must indicate in your signup if you are okay with your own work being used.

- I would strongly recommend all participants who feel comfortable doing so add a blanket permission statement to their AO3 profile or to a site such as FPS List.

- FPS List is a directory of blanket permission statements. It is currently undergoing a cosmetic refit by the site owners, but you can sort by fandom or author. For other lists of blanket permissions, please check Fanlore's Blanket Permission to Podfic and Blanket Permission to Translate pages. Please let me know if you have another collection of authors with blanket permissions!
