Timeline:
Nominations from now until Aug-5 10pm EST.
Signup from Aug-5 10pm EST to Aug-7 10pm EST.
Writing from Aug Aug-7 10pm EST to Aug-11 10pm EST.
Works revealed Aug-11 11:59 PM EST
Authors revealed Aug-13 10pm EST.
What are signup requirements?
You match by fandom and character/pairing. You will have to submit a link to a song, with the title of that song. There will be optional details exclusively for three (3) DNWs and, if the song is in a non-English language, translation information. Giving translation information is optional. 3-10 requests, 4-10 offers. You may request more than one thing in the same fandom, as long as you have 3 different fandoms.
How do nominations work?
The only thing you will be nominating is fandom and character. We are using the character part of the signup as a way to include pairings, characters, and other groups.
You can nominate individual characters or groups of characters under the appropriate fandom. If you'd like to nominate a group, please use the format group: Character A & Character B or Group: Character A/Character B The & is for platonic and / is for romantic. If you are nominating characters under a crossover fandom, please specify which fandom each character is from. When you nominate any character or group, please specify the fandom in parenthesis after the nomination.
Examples:
Under the fandom MCU: Steve Rogers (MCU)
Under the fandom Doctor Who: G: Third Doctor & Sara Jane Smith
Under the fandom Crossover: X-Men/Power Rangers: G: Charles Xavier (X-Men Movies) & Zordon (Power Rangers)
Under the fandom Harry Potter: G: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter)
Under the fandom MCU: G: The Avengers (MCU)
The same pairing can be nominated in multiple fandoms with specification. For instance, if G: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (MCU) is already nominated in MCU, you can nominate it in Marvel 616 by nominating it as G: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (Marvel 616).
Feel free to get a little creative. For instance! G: All the Women (MCU) would be totally okay.
What if someone cannot be matched?
If you do not have any offers that will match anyone else, you will be deleted. If no one has offers that meet your requests, you will go out to a pinch hit and be given the option to add additional requests. Given the nature of the exchange, I cannot guarantee that everyone will have a gift by the time gifts are revealed, but I will do my best.
What counts as three (3) DNWs?
Please treat this sensibly. This is an experiment in how DNWs can work for flash exchanges. Mod reserves right as total sovereign authority to ask you to tweak them. If your fic doesn't work out for you, there is no harm in refusing the gift. The purpose of limiting DNWs is to balance the needs of people with strong DNWs with the demands of a short, casual flash exchange.
Can I submit a song without lyrics?
Yes.
Can I submit a song in a non-English language?
Yes. You may optionally submit a link to translation information in the optional details slot.
Can I submit a spoken word poem?
No.
This spoken word poem has some music behind it...
Okay, maybe. If you want to have a detailed philosophical dispute about the definition of a song, I'm down, but realistically we are following the Jacobellis v. Ohio test for obscenity: your mod knows it when she sees it and she is the sovereign with total power.
Is this a songfic exchange?
No! In fact, you can't write traditional songfic due to Ao3 terms of service. Ao3 considers the use of the full lyrics of a song to be unacceptable use of material under copyright. Their guidelines suggest that you limit any direct quotes of songs to around 10%.
In that case, how should I use the song prompt?
However you want! Does the song have some imagery that inspires you? Is it narrative and do you want to tell that story? Does it give you characterization ideas? Did they just give you "The Masochism Tango" by Tom Lehrer and can you feel the expectant leer behind the computer screen? This is a flash exchange, it is supposed to be casual and low-pressure.
How much do I have to write?
300 word minimum, thus our clever name.
Pinch hits?
Pinch hits will be sent out the Exchanges After Dark Discord server and those that aren't claimed immediately will be posted here and probably FFA too.
Who are you and how do I contact you?
I'm seinmit. seinmit on twitter and seinmit on tumblr. weltlichkeit@gmail.com, though. Contact me with any questions. I also haunt FFA pretty regularly.
