Signups close on June 11th at 11:59 PM UTC - remember that this may be earlier than midnight in your timezone. 

As a reminder, here are the signup rules and guidelines: 

• When signing up, you choose what characters/ships you'd like to receive fanart of, and what characters/ships you'll offer to draw fanart for. You can only request and offer characters/relationships that are in the tagset.
  • The "Any" box means "any character or ship in this fandom that has been nominated for this exchange." It does not mean "any character in the fandom as a whole." 
• You can request 3-10 different fandoms, with 1-20 characters/ships per fandom. You can offer 4-10 different fandoms with 1-20 characters/ships per fandom. 
• This exchange uses "or" matching, and your gifter is only required to create something based on one of your characters/ships. Please keep this in mind when prompting. 
• In the "Description" section of the signup form, you can write prompts for your artist to get a better idea of what you want. It's generally a good idea to list out tropes, kinks, or visuals that you tend to like, as well as give some prompts specific to your requested characters/ships. "Dear artist" letters are not required, but they are welcome! 
• You can also include DNWs (Do Not Wants), which are things you don't want to see in your gift. These can include anything, but you may not use them to try and railroad your gifter into making one specific drawing (e.g. "DNW anything except a picture of catboy Kylo Ren kneeling at Rey's feet while she holds his collar and looks at him lovingly"). You may not use DNWs that contradict your requests (e.g. requesting a "/" relationship and then DNWing shipping). 
  • You are encouraged to list any stylistic preferences you have, and artists are encouraged to take these into account. Due to ambiguity and the beginner-friendly structure of this exchange, style- and medium-related DNWs will not be enforced (e.g. "DNW traditional art", "DNW CalArts style", "DNW anime style"). 

Here are some additional, general reminders: 

• All participants must be the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction.
• If you choose to request a fandom with no character/ship/setting tags in the tagset, your artist has free rein to draw anything that could reasonably be interpreted as having to do with that fandom. Any details/requests you add related to that fandom in your signup or letter will be considered optional details.
• If the tag you want to request/offer isn't showing up in the dropdown after you've selected a fandom, copy and paste the tag into your signup exactly as it appears in the tagset. 
• When matching runs, participants who aren't be able to be matched as a gifter will be matched at random to a recipient who requested Creator's Choice of Fandom. If you do not want to be matched to a CCoF request as a gifter, check the requests summary before June 11 to make sure you are matchable to a specific fandom request. If you are requesting CCoF, be aware that you may end up with more than one assigned gifter because of this rule. 
• Last year during the nominations phase we shared a few AO3 exchange guidelines & art posting resources that some participants who were new to either AO3 exchanges or to posting fanart on AO3 found helpful. These resources will be posted in a comment on this post.
