Hello investigators, criminal masterminds, and citizen detectives,

It's been a fortnight since you last heard from me. I have some great news.

The collection will be opening on Friday 29 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone + Countdown. ]

All of the cases that were needed to be completed in order for us to open are in. Please take this time to review your assignment and ensure that you've dotted your i's and crossed your t's and added any tags that you've left off so others can find your work within the collection and your fandom tags.

If you're still jonesing to get your hands dirty with investigations, may I invite you to have a look at our pinch hitter's treats and have a look around the AO3 app to see if there's anyone else you'd like to create a gift for. Treats do not have to be 3,000 words minimum or its equivalent and they do not have to have a beginning/middle/end of a case being fully solved.

If you have any questions, please email me at gumshoeagency@gmail.com.

Thank you again to our wonderful pinch hitters for working hard to help us get all our cases solved! (If you'd like to put yourself up for a treat, please do head on over to the post!)

See you next week! 🩷

I'm delighted to see the sign-ups that have come in so far!

I've reached out to two people through the email associated with your AO3 account, regarding ambiguous DNWs and minimum fandom requests respectively. Please check your AO3 email and get in contact (morbane@gmail.com) if you think that may be you or if you have other concerns. - thanks to both for getting in touch!

I am accepting final nominations at the tag set until 11:59pm EDT, Tuesday 19 August. That's to ensure that if you add something to the tag set and request it, other people have time to notice it and add it to their offers.

They should look if they put any commentary or extra content on a DVD at all before they try to legally distance themselves from it. You'd think the sort of mistake that would get your job application tossed wouldn't happen to Disney/Marvel or their outsorcees, at least not where people can see it, but no.

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3, or parts of it. First I tried to find the chapters or time stamps for the horrible parts online so I could avoid them precisely. But then I was reminded it is 2025 and search engines can no longer assist us in these matters. In this particular case because I couldn't find words relevant to my search that wouldn't also suggest I was here about a game instead of the movie. Big sigh.

So I just did a generous jump whenever plot or atmosphere suggested it was about to get cruel, and that worked too, but I probably missed 1/3 of the film.

Anyway, to my surprise I liked it and I was pretty teary at the end. I couldn't say that for the first two, because the whole "in your face jerks are endearing really" pretense of the franchise was so stupid and also factually wrong. But the characters grew out of it just enough in the third one, or had developed enough character each to overshadow the tiresome premise. Something like that. Eyebrow guy as Adam Warlock really caught me off-guard. He looked like he stands very still in the precinct for a living. I always liked Nebula best, hasn't changed.

I also rewatched Everything Everywhere All at Once, this time in a state of awake, and that helped a lot. Very good.

I started watching But I'm a Cheerlearder online and it's pretty weird? But it has a brief appearances of Dante Basco!

Crossworks 2025 sign-ups open

[personal profile] morbane posting in [community profile] crossworks
2025 sign-ups are open at AO3!

The basics
  • You need an AO3 account. You can request an invite here, or contact the mod directly.

  • One sign-up only per person.

  • If there are things that would ruin a gift for you, please enter them in the sign-up form, in the "Do-Not-Wants and Optional Details" field, as Do Not Wants or DNWs.

  • You can write prompts, if you want, but you don't have to. You can link to a longer document, a "letter", with more information about your prompts and preferences, if you want, but you don't have to. Letter links can't be added after sign-ups end. If writing a letter, please try to complete it by the time assignments go out. The preferences in your optional details can include characters and relationships, but your creator isn't bound by them - please do not request fandoms where you are only interested in a very small subset of the characters or the worldbuilding.

  • You can organize your requests according to whether you'd like art or fic or both, and crossovers or fusions or both. Each request and offer must include at least one of the tags Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion, Art/Crossover, and Fic/Crossover. Crossovers and fusions are defined at the collection.

  • You must sign up with 3 (min) to 10 (max) requests, and 1 (min) to 10 (max) offers.

  • Not everyone can receive treats, so please note in your optional details if treats are welcome or if you have disabled them.

  • You can use the "Notes to Mod" field to tell me more about your matching preferences, or you can leave that blank. You can ask to avoid other people ("Do Not Match" requests). Please don't tell me why you wish to avoid any person. Please do tell me whether you would prefer not to receive a pinch hit or treat from a person you don't want to match with. I can't honour all preferences; if I need to read someone's optional details or Do-Not-Wants to figure out if they're compatible with your matching preferences, that's too specific, sorry. If you have blocked any other participants, you can still be assigned to receive from or create for them, so consider asking not to match to them.



How to combine fandoms, and making sure you have enough combinations
  • Each of your requests and offers needs to include 2-10 fandom tags from the tag set.

  • Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom tags.

  • Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom combinations. (That is: Harry Potter and John Wick is one combination. A request for Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and John Wick includes 3 different fandom combinations: HPxB, BxJW, HPxJW.)

  • Your combinations cannot all require knowledge of your one favourite fandom. Ie, the five requests AxB, AxC, AxD, AxE, and AxF would all require your creator to know fandom A. You would need at least one other request that doesn't include fandom A.

  • Don't put fandoms into the same request or offer if you aren't interested in all the combinations they could make. For example, if you want Harry Potter and Buffy, and also Harry Potter and John Wick, but you don't want Buffy and John Wick, putting those three in the same request would be a bad idea because your creator could have offered Buffy and John Wick but not Harry Potter. In that case, put John Wick and Buffy in two different request slots and put Harry Potter in both.

  • Don't put fandoms into the same request if the combination they make wouldn't create a fusion or crossover. Examples:
    • Don't put Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet in the same request as the Lioness quartet - these are subseries of the same world with shared characters and settings

    • Don't put Captain America movies in the same request as Marvel Cinematic Universe, since the Captain America movies are a subset of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    • Don't put Mo Dao Zu Shi in the same request as The Untamed, since one is an adaptation of the other

    • It's fine to combine similar fandoms in this way in your offers, just not in requests.


"Any Other Fandom" tags
This is a BONUS wildcard system that may make it easier for you to cover all the fandom combinations you are interested in receiving. It is an optional extra: ignore it completely if you want. If you aren't interested, just don't select the "Any Other Fandom" tags.

If interested, here's how it works.

-In one of your requests, select a fandom from the tagset and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025". This means that your creator can combine that fandom with any fandom you've ticked in any of your other requests.

-Or, in one of your requests, select "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025" and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)". This is using tags to say "Absolutely any possible 2-fandom combination is welcome as long as both fandoms appear somewhere in my requests this year".


Some examples
Normal sign-up
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Murderbot (TV), Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, All For The Game - Nora Sakavic, Babylon 5 (T)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Horus Heresy - Various Authors, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Our Flag Means Death (TV)
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chronicles of Narnia, Moby Dick
Request 5: Fic/Fusion: Chronicles of Narnia, Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse,

Here I could get a crossover between Babylon 5 and Vorkosigan Saga, but if I got a fusion between Black Jewels and All for the Game, it would not fulfil my request.

This set-up also means that I am prompting for multiple fusions with the Chronicles of Narnia. Keeping requests 3, 4, and 5 separate is different to putting all of these fandoms in the same request - if I did that, I might get Moby Dick and Our Flag Means Death. (No shade or judgment if you think that would be great! This is purely an example.)

Using Any Other Fandom tags
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Lords of Derkholm, The Old Guard
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chess (Musical), Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025

This could save time because if a creator likes the musical Chess, they can combine that with any other fandom in the requests. (Only by writing a fic fusion, though).


Using Any Other Fandom tags - both of them
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Lords of Derkholm, The Old Guard, Chess (Musical)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025, Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)

In this case, Request 4 means I could get a fusion story between Utena and the Old Guard, Black Jewels and Narnia, or Chess (Musical) and Pern. Anything's fair game. No combination is excluded.


This is the only way "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)" should be selected in your requests. It should appear as the second fandom with "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025" as the first fandom, and there should not be a third fandom in that request.

If using "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025", please list out what those fandoms are in the optional details of the request where you have selected this tag. This helps creators check they're combining the right fandoms.


Please feel free to ask if you have questions!

More tag set notes
When looking through the tag set, please keep in mind the Uncategorized fandoms in the tag set. Some of these may be fandoms you've never heard of - but some of them may just be sub-groupings of a fandom you know.

I will re-open the tag set tomorrow to allow additional nominations of 2 fandoms per person - please limit this to things you want to request. The tag set will close again within 48 hours of sign-ups closing.


App!
As sign-ups progress, karanguni's app may make it easier to find requests by fandom. This is updated on request and will say when it was last updated.


Sign-ups will end at 11:59pm EDT on 21 August.

Tag clarifications

grundyscribbling: white stars on a light blue background (stars)
[personal profile] grundyscribbling posting in [community profile] innumerable_stars
The mods are doing some cleanup on the tagset, and we have a couple questions.
  • If you nominated Lady of the Blue Brooch, please let us know what fandom it was intended for? The association was lost. We think it's meant for LotR books.
  • If you nominated "Worldbuilding: Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Gandalf" in the Hobbit book fandom please clarify to the mods what you intended? (We think it's meant to be "Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Bilbo" but maybe we're not thinking far enough outside the original timeline?)
  • If you nominated the following under the Crossovers fandom, please clarify what you intended - these groups can be nominated under LotR books OR Silmarillion without requiring a crossover: Group: Arwen & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrian & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrimbor/Sauron (Crossover Fandom).
