Signups for the summer round of Multifandom Doodle 2022 are now closed. Thank you to everyone who signed up!

Assignments will be sent no later than June 13 at 11:59 PM UTC.

A post will be made to the comm when assignments are sent out.

Nominations for the summer 2022 round of Multifandom Doodle have closed. The tagset looks fantastic, thank you everyone who nominated! 

Signups will open no later than May 30, depending on how quickly the final clarifications are addressed.

Clarifications

Rosemary Sutcliff Dolphin Ring Series

• Group: the mossy-faced objects (ponies: Eagle of the Ninth)
  • What is this/what are you trying to nominate? Please clarify, otherwise the tag will be reworded and accepted as Mossy-faced ponies (Eagle of the Ninth).

• A participant has suggested that the tags nominated under "Rosemary Sutcliff Dolphin Ring Series" be split into their individual books as the books' timelines and characters have no significant overlap. 
  • If you would like these tags to be split out and associated with their individual books, please comment on this post with a list of which book each tag currently associated under "Rosemary Sutcliff Dolphin Ring Series" should be re-associated with no later than 2 PM UTC on May 29.
  • If the nominator of these tags would like the tags to stay associated under "Rosemary Sutcliff Dolphin Ring Series", please comment on this post to explain your reasoning no later than 2 PM UTC on May 29.
  • If there are no comments from any interested parties by 2 PM UTC on May 29 the tags will remain associated under "Rosemary Sutcliff Dolphin Ring Series".

Reminder: 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.

Final reminder: Please check any fandoms you might be interested in requesting/offering in the tagset and comment here if you notice anything amiss such as misspelled tags, duplicate tags, or misassociated/migrating tags. 

Please comment below or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com with any questions, concerns, etc. I hope everyone is excited for signups!

Hello! Nominations are now open for Multifandom Doodle 2022, Round 1.

There were three rule changes that may affect nominations so please review the relevant sections of the rules below before nominating. 

Eligibility

• All fandoms, characters, and ships are eligible for this exchange.
• Original Work, Creator's Choice of Fandom, and RPF are eligible for this exchange.
  • Mods reserve the right to reject Original Work and RPF nominations deemed to be in bad taste (e.g. Nazi RPF). 
• All participants must be the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction. 

• Each participant can nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 20 characters/ships in each fandom. 
• Relationships between two or more characters are still nominated as individual "characters." To nominate a relationship, nominate them by putting "group: " before their names, in the following format:
  • group: Character A/Character B or group: Character A & Character B or group: Character A/Character B & Character C, etc.
• Romantic and/or sexual relationships are denoted by the / sign between the characters' names, and platonic and/or familial relationships are denoted by the & sign between the characters' names.
• You may nominate settings and/or objects as individual "characters" or as part of relationships (e.g. "Place: Howl's Castle", "group: Fawkes & the Room of Requirement", "group: Dean Winchester/The Impala"). 
  
  • Please nominate individual places/settings with "Place:" or "Setting:" in front of them, to disambiguate them from freeforms (e.g. "Place: Howl's Castle", "Setting: the Hundred-Acre Wood").
• You may nominate "Any"/"Creator's Choice" characters and ships using the format: "Creator's Choice of [x]". For example, "Creator's Choice of Dumbledore's Outfits", "Creator's Choice of Pokemon", "As Many Mythological Creatures As Creator Can Think Of", etc. If you nominate using the format "Any [X]" your nomination may be rejected. 
• Please nominate crossover relationships under the fandom "Crossover Fandom." When nominating them, please use the format "group: Character A (Fandom 1)/Character B (Fandom 2)."
• Please nominate original characters and relationships under the fandom "Original Work." Descriptive character names are recommended. "Mermaid/Pirate" is pretty vague, while "Curvy Blue-haired Tattoo Artist Mermaid/Roguish Tattooed Butch Pirate" gives a better idea of what visuals and dynamics someone might be looking to request or draw. 
  • If you have a gender preference for an original ship (e.g. you want "Elf Paladin/Orc Druid" but only if they're both female), you must nominate the ship with genders included in the names (e.g. "Female Elf Paladin/Female Orc Druid"). You won't be allowed to use likes or DNWs to enforce a gender preference for an original ship where the nominated tag is gender neutral. 
  • This exchange was originally designed for the benefit of artists in fandom. It is not an appropriate place to request free art commissions of OC(s) from unpublished media. If you have OCs in mind that are so specific they cannot be described within the character limit of an AO3 tag, this exchange is not the place to request art of those characters. Please review the art commission tags on your social media of choice to find artists who are open to commissions.

If there are any questions, concerns, or nominations clarifications, please comment below or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com.

Hello!

If you have not yet submitted your assignment, please be aware that there is now one week (and some change) remaining until the assignment submittal deadline for Multifandom Doodle 2021.

Your assignment is due on December 18, 11:59 PM UTC. A countdown timer may be viewed here.

If you need an extension for any reason, please contact multifandomdoodle@gmail.com.

If you've already submitted your assignment and are interested in creating additional doodles as a treat, all requests for Multifandom Doodle 2021 may be viewed here! Requests can be sorted alphabetically by fandom or requester.

As a reminder... A treat is an extra gift you've made for someone you aren't necessarily assigned to. Treats may be any medium (including fanfiction!) and need not meet minimum requirements, but must address at least one of the recipient's character/ship requests and respect their DNWs. If you want to create art for a specific fandom, character, or relationship that you weren't matched to, looking through the requests for a prompt you'd like to treat is a great way to do that!

When posting a treat, please use the "Post To Collection" button in the AO3 collection and make sure you enter your recipient's name in the "Gift This Work To:" field. Then, post as normal!

Please contact multifandomdoodle@gmail.com if there are any questions, concerns, etc.

Thank you and have fun!

Signups for Multifandom Doodle 2021 are now closed, with 73 total participants. Hooray! 

After generating potential matches, there are a few participants who may need to add offers in order to be matchable to a recipient. If your AO3 username begins with B, G, J, R, or S, please keep an eye on the email associated with your AO3 username for the next few hours in case a mod reaches out. 

Unmatchable participants who don’t respond to a request to add offers by 11 PM UTC on November 15 will be assigned at random to a recipient who requested Creator’s Choice of Fandom(s) so that assignments can be sent on time.

A post will be made to this comm when assignments are sent out tomorrow. Thank you all for signing up!

Hello! 

At the time of this post, there are 59 signups for the first ever round of Multifandom Doodle. Hooray and thank you all for signing up! 

There are 48 hours remaining until signups close. Here is a countdown timer for your reference. 


After signups close, you will no longer be able to sign up for this round of the exchange. If you have signed up, after signups close you will no longer be able to edit or change your signup. 

As a reminder, here are the guidelines for signing up: 

• 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 1-18 characters/ships per fandom. You can offer 4-10 different fandoms with 1-18 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, style- and medium-related DNWs will not be enforced (e.g. "DNW traditional art", "DNW CalArts style", "DNW anime style"). 

As the signup close time approaches, the mod will review all signups to make sure they follow the signup guidelines and rules. If your signup does not follow the rules, an email will be sent to the email address associated with your AO3 account letting you know what needs to be changed. You will have 24 hours from the date of the email to make requested changes. If the changes are not made, your signup will be deleted. 

Please comment here or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com if there are any lingering questions or concerns about signups.
