crantz: Two children standing over a still pool that leads to another world. (narnia 2)
[personal profile] crantz
Hidey ho. I'm progressing on graduating university this year. But I've fallen a bit behind on schoolwork, which is not great. I'm going to have to get my ass in gear over the next three days to catch up again.

I've started playing City of Heroes regularly again (is this related to falling behind?) and ah it delights the mind and senses. I've been drawing lots of drawings of my beautiful stupid man character Silver Cygnet, a guy who ended up with a giant pair of swan wings after he tried a spell that promised to get him high. He's a wizard now, technically, and fights crime in a decidedly non-violent fashion because he's a good boy.

Speaking of CoH, every once in a while I read general chat and there's someone in there posting like they think they're John C. Lilly and I have about as much tolerant for blazed out nonsense as you would expect. However, just blocking them is a better and more effective reaction than glaring at the screen. I really think the fact that nonsense annoys me so much is a fatal flaw of mine, but I don't want to work on it. I just want people to stop.

Updating my webcomic again (hamsterwheel.art) and I'm going to have another page up in a day or two once I've had a day or two to spot any art errors. It's about my cat, who I draw as some sort of demon creature.

I'm watching Marie the Toy Poodle for the next few days - she's very fluffy because it's almost her grooming time and as a result she looks like a baby polar bear.

Movie-wise, we sort of drifted from filling in pop cultural stuff to 'this seems neat' but we're moving back on target. We watched the original King Kong* and I have to conclude, I am not a fan of Kong! He has bad vibes! He squished those villagers into the mud to kill them just to be mean and I am like, you get what you get, ape. You get what you get. Ann Darrow is very sweet and me and the Movie Pals had fun coming up with reasons why she was, in fact, totally safe on that boat full of men.

Tonight was Little Shop of Horrors (original), and Not of this Earth, a double-feature of short Corman films. I really liked them.


*I have a new enemy now because of it, btw.

Me: I just watched the original King Kong
Person: The 30s version or the 2005 Peter Jackson version
Me: Why would I call something from 2005 the original?
Person: Some people don't know their Cinema History

At which point I assume they burst into flames from how irritated I was.

Query Post #2

Thanks everyone for your nominations and clarifications so far! We’re still working through the nomination queue, but if not all of yours have been approved, please check below (and/or in Query Post #1) for questions and clarifications.

As a reminder, please nominate characters in the character slot, and worldbuilding topics in the relationship slot (formatted as "WB: Topic (Canon)"). Relationships ("Character A/Character B") will be rejected. Please also disambiguate all nominations with the name of the canon in parentheses.


For the following fandoms: we have questions about the fandom as nominated, or about one or more worldbuilding tags. If you’re the nominator, please include a link to your nominations page in your response.

DC Comics - For WB: Gotham and Metropolis as Sentient Cities, are the cities sentient in canon, or is this a prompt for an AU where they are sentient? If the latter, that’s not really worldbuilding within the scope of this exchange.

Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon - For WB: Characters Forced to Return to The Realm, this seems more like a plot and/or character study prompt; can you clarify how it is worldbuilding? For WB: How Long are The Kids in the Realm?, this seems like a question with a short answer; can you clarify what you would be looking for in a fill for this tag?

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood - For Chris "Madam Christmas" Mustang's Girls (FMAB), we are not accepting group nominations for characters. Could you specify a particular girl, or an aspect of worldbuilding relating to this group?

Loki - For Character: Other Loki Variants, we’re not accepting group nominations for characters, but given the fandom context we’ll accept WB: Other Loki Variants (Loki TV).

Marvel Cinematic Universe - For WB: Influence of Sarah Rogers on Captain America and WB: Influence of Steve's time in the USO on him, these seem more like character-study prompts than world-building; can you clarify?

Masters of the Universe: Revelations/Revolution - For WB: What Happens After Adam's Death (MOTU: R), this seems more like a plot prompt than worldbuilding; can you clarify?

Iron Lung - For WB: What happened at Filament Station (Iron Lung) and WB: What happened to the rest of humanity (Iron Lung), these seem more like plot prompts than worldbuilding; can you clarify?

Jean Robertson Series - For WB: Carse, WB: Castle versus Town, and WB: Up the Burn, we’re not sure what these mean and are having trouble finding fandom details; can you clarify?

Philosophers Series - For WB: Eupheus and Kite Jockeys/Fresh Gale on the High Sonora, we’re not sure what this means and are having trouble finding fandom details; can you clarify?

If you nominated a tag that was rejected and you don’t think it should have been, please let us know your nominations page.

Unsent Letters signups will close a little under a day from now, at March 9th, 11:59PM UTC (countdown). If you are located somewhere the clocks have recently changed, do note that the closing time may now be different where you are!

This is a good time to update any WIP requests, link your Dear Writer letters, or check that you are matchable on offers. All requests are visible at the Requests Summary page, or at the app.

Best of luck!

Signups are open!

Signups are now open! Go here to signup. Guidelines are below.


Requests


You will sign up with 1-10 requests, with 1-10 relationships per request. You may repeat fandoms with different relationships. You may also select "any" for relationships, indicating that you are open to receiving a fanwork for any of the nominated relationships for that fandom.

The minimum number of fandoms is one, but if you request fewer than three unique fandoms, you're not guaranteed a gift, and we won't delay reveals for you. Three sub-fandoms within the same larger fandom (e.g., Tortall) are considered unique fandoms in this context.

If you go to pinch hits with fewer than three fandoms and your pinch hit lingers for more than a week (or more than 24 hours past the general assignments due date), you may contact the mods to add more fandoms.

You may request either fic, art, or both.

If you have a letter at an external site (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Google Docs, etc)., provide a link to it in the relevant box. Please ensure that your letter is complete by the time signups close.

If you have any Do Not Wants (DNWs) that you wish your creator to respect, they must be in the Optional Details box of your signup. DNWs that are only contained in an outside letter cannot be enforced by the mods.

The mod encourage all participants to use clear, specific, and reasonable DNWs for this exchange. DNWs for specific characters in "any" ships will not be enforced. If you have questions about the best way to phrase your DNWs, please contact sufficiently.advanced.ex@gmail.com for assistance.


Offers


You will sign up with 1-10 offers, with 1-10 relationships per offer. You may repeat fandoms with different relationships. You may also select "any" for relationships, indicating that you are open to creating a fanwork for any of the nominated relationships for that fandom.

If you offer a specific "any" ship, such as "Any Dragon & Their Captain", you only need to be able to write one ship that fits the criteria.

You may offer either fic, art, or both.

You may also use one of your offer slots for "bucket" offers. Put one fandom tag in the fandom box; tick "Any" for relationships; then put all the other fandom tags in the optional details box, separated by commas. This can only be done with one of your offer slots, and means you are offering "Any" relationships in all of these fandoms. Remember that the relationships field also includes Solo: Character nominations; and general or specific worldbuilding tags.

Fandoms entered into the optional tags field will not auto-complete, but spelling and spaces matter. The easiest way to fill in your bucket list is to use the "Fandom:" box; when it autocompletes, you can copy and paste fandoms from there one by one into the Optional Tags line until you are done, and then leave the last fandom in the Fandom box. If you are offering lots of fandoms, you can make a comma-separated list in a text file by copying and pasting from the tagset, then pasting it in. This method ensures you do not lose your list if you enter one of the tags incorrectly, and makes it easier to edit if you change your mind.


Matching


Matching works on an OR basis. Your request will be matched to a creator based on just one fandom/relationship/medium combination.

If you do not have a potential recipient, you will be contacted and asked to edit your sign up. If you do not wish to do that, or if you do not respond within 24 hours, your sign-up will be deleted.

Thanks everyone for your nominations so far! Due to AO3’s technical issues earlier this week and where we’re currently at with processing nominations, we’re extending nominations by two days to Tuesday March 10 at 9pm EDT. We still plan to open sign ups on schedule on Thursday the 12th. We’re still working through the nomination queue, but if not all of yours have been approved, please see the questions and clarifications below. 


Please nominate characters in the character slot, and worldbuilding topics in the relationship slot (formatted as "WB: Topic (Canon)"). Relationships ("Character A/Character B") will be rejected. Worldbuilding tags nominated in the character slot will be rejected.


For the following fandoms, please edit nominations to use character slots for characters and relationship slots for worldbuilding topics:

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Loki (TV 2021)


Please don't nominate specific types of original characters other than gender. For example, "Original Female Character(s) (DC Comics)" can be nominated, but not "Original Superhero Character(s) (DC Comics)". For the following fandoms, please edit nominations to avoid specific types of original characters (but worldbuilding prompts that might use such characters are welcome):

Harry Potter (Books Only)


For the following fandoms: we have questions about the fandom as nominated, or about one or more worldbuilding tags. If you’re the nominator, please include a link to your nominations page in your response.



Disco Elysium (Video Game) - For WB: First Meeting(s) and WB: You held a young woman by the arm and kept her in your apartment for 20 minutes against her will, the first is very broad and the second is very specific. Can you clarify how these are worldbuilding tags? For WB: Cunoesse's Backstory, this seems more like a character study tag--can you clarify?


Fire Emblem: Awakening - For WB: Future children trying to deal with knowing their younger parents in the present and WB: Future children´s relationships and/or memories of their parents, these seem more like plot or character study prompts--can you clarify how they are worldbuilding?


Gladiator (Movies - Scott) - For WB: The illness affecting Emperor Caracalla, can you clarify how this is a worldbuilding tag distinct from real-world illnesses? 


If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device (Web Series) - Several nominated but unapproved tags seem more like plot prompts than worldbuilding; can you clarify?


Minecraft: Story Mode (Video Game) - For WB: Exploring a Woodland Mansion, this seems more like a plot prompt--can you clarify how it is worldbuilding? For WB: Exploring features from a mod of your choice, this exchange doesn't generally use "creator's choice" tags; can you specify a target mod? For WB: Xara's Escape Attempts from the Sunshine Institute, this seems more like a character prompt than worldbuilding, would you be okay with this being changed to just WB: Escape Attempts from the Sunshine Institute


Moon Knight (Marvel Comics) and Moon Knight (Original Ultimate Marvel Universe) - Several nominated but unapproved tags seem to be more plot prompts or character studies than worldbuilding; can you clarify?


Phantasy Star - For WB: Odin and Myau's pre-game adventures, this seems more like a plot and/or character study prompt; can you clarify how it is worldbuilding?

If you nominated a tag that was rejected and you don’t think it should have been, or if a fandom you nominated was approved along with some but not all of the associated characters or WB tags, please let us know your nominations page.

OMG I just watched the Miss Hudson episode of Sherlock Hound and it was so epic* I was convinced it was the season finale (but it wasn't). Miss Hudson's backstory, Moriarty's plane, Miss Hudson' commandeering personality!

It's called the White Cliffs of Dover and you can really notice the Myazaki of it all here.

*Qualifier: Like, epic compared to what came before. Epic, but still for a very young audience.

Nominations for Worldbuilding Exchange 2026 are now open! Nominate at the tagset here.

You may nominate up to five fandoms. For each fandom, there are five character slots and six "worldbuilding" slots. Because of the limitations of AO3 tag sets, we will be using the "Relationship" field for worldbuilding elements.

Nominate only single characters in the Character field; groups or relationships (/ or &) will be rejected.

Nominate only worldbuilding tags in the Relationship field; groups or relationships (/ or &) will be rejected. All worldbuilding tags should start with the prefix "WB: ".

Fandoms must have at least one worldbuilding tag nominated by the end of nominations, or they will be rejected.

Signups Open!

[personal profile] lettersmod posting in [community profile] unsent_letters_exchange
Tag Set | Signup Form
  • You may request 3-10 fandoms and offer 3-10 fandoms, with at least 1 relationship and 1 epistolary type in each request and offer.
  • Requesting or offering the same fandom more than once is fine, as long as your overall signup meets the 3 unique fandom requests/3 unique fandom offers requirement.

There is a known AO3 bug where typing into the box does not make the relationship show up in the dropdown. In that case, please copy and paste the relationship from the tagset, exactly as it appears there; this should save. If you still encounter issues, please let me know in a comment or by email or PM, and I can manually add it to your sign-up after sign-ups close.

Signups will be open until Mar 7, 11:59PM UTC (countdown).



Some notes on DNWs:

  • If you routinely DNW 1st or 2nd person POV, please consider waiving or clarifying the DNW (e.g. 'DNW 1st/2nd POV when outside of epistolary sections') as epistolary fic frequently uses these POVs.
  • Please ensure your DNWs do not conflict with your signup. For instance, do not DNW a relationship or epistolary category you request.
  • If you receive an assignment where the recipient's DNWs contradict the signup, the signup takes priority. If the DNW is the only relationship or epistolary category you matched on, please contact me for a new assignment.
