Signups Are Open!

Due to AO3 downtime slightly late but open. You can now sign up here!
Signups will remain open until 20:00 UTC on Sunday, 13 July. View the countdown here.

- Signup form
- Tagset If your tag isn't here, please send me an email at tentaclemod@gmail.com with the fandom and relationship you are missing, and a link to the pairing on ao3 with the eligibility filters applied.
- Requests summary
- Signup summary
- Rules Post



You can request 3-10 fandoms and offer 4-10 fandoms with 1-20 ships and 1-3 media (fic and/or art and/or podfic) in each.

  • You are only guaranteed to match on one fandom/ship/medium.
  • You can only request fandoms and relationships that have been nominated and appear in the tagset.
  • You can request a fandom more than once (if you want to request more than 20 ships, or you want to request a particular medium for some ships and not others). However, you must still request at least 3 unique fandoms.
  • You cannot offer a fandom more than once.
  • Only reasonable Do Not Wants (DNWs) listed in your signup will be enforced.
  • Do not list "unrequested kinks" as a DNW as this frequently causes confusion. Please be specific to avoid disappointment.
  • Do not indicate that you prefer one of your requests over the others; do not rank requests in order of preference. Your gift creator is only guaranteed to know one of your fandoms.
  • If you request or offer Original Work: matching does not differentiate between this and other fandoms; it is not to be considered a "backup" and you might match on it even if your other fandoms have requests/offers.

    Any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at tentaclemod@gmail.com.
