Hello! The first round of Multifandom Doodle has officially concluded. If you participated in any way — signing up, picking up pinch hits, creating treats, giving feedback on rules, or even just dropping by to say that this looked like a fun idea — thank you for being part of this exchange! 
 
This exchange will run again. Before the exchange runs again, I would like to get everyone's input on how the first round went. 
 
Please leave your feedback below (anon is enabled) or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com . 
 
You are also welcome to leave your input on the following mod-proposed changes for next round:
  • Add an age requirement to the rules.
    • All participants must be the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction. While Multifandom Doodle is not inherently a NSFW event, the event is intended for adults and adult content might be requested, offered, discussed, or in the case of pinch hits, posted to the DW comm. If it's brought to mod attention that a participant is a minor, that participant's signup will be deleted. 
  • Increase the maximum number of characters/ships/places/objects that may be requested and offered to 20.  
  • Enable participants to offer/request "Creator's Choice".
    • Creator's Choice of Fandom(s) will be a pre-added fandom in the tagset. Eligible tag phrasing could range from Creator's Choice of [X] to Creator's Fave in a Kigurumi to As Many Cats As Creator Can Think Of… etc. 
    • Creator's Choice of [X] will be considered an eligible character/ship/place/object tag phrasing within specific fandoms (Creator's Choice of Pokemon, Creator's Choice of Dumbledore's Outfits, Creator's Choice of Vladimir's Tiny Unicorns, etc.). 
    • Participants with no potential recipients at the time of matching will be matched at random to a recipient who requested Creator's Choice of Fandom(s). 
Unless there are widespread concerns about any of the mod-proposed changes, these changes will be added to the rules for next round.

Next round will run either in six months with reveals on July 25, or in a year with reveals on December 25. Please leave your input on when you'd like the next round to run. 

Thank you again for participating and I look forward to your feedback!

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!

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.

Hello doodlers!

The 2021 signup deadline is fast approaching so make sure to get any last minute edits in by 11:59 PM UTC today! 

There are two important announcements as we come up to the signups deadline: 


1. If your AO3 username begins with the letter A or the letter C, please check the email associated with your AO3 account as soon as possible today.

There are currently two signups that violate the rules because they have not requested or offered the required number of different fandoms. All participants must request and offer the required minimum number of different fandoms so that there is a higher likelihood of finding a match for everybody. 

An email was sent yesterday detailing the changes that must be made to these signups. These signups have 24 hours from the time of the email to make the requested changes. Otherwise, these signups will be deleted. 

 
2. Please remember that style- and medium-related DNWs* are not enforceable, per the rules:

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"). 

If you have chosen to include style- or medium-related DNWs in your signup anyway, you will not receive a mod email and your signup is not in danger of being deleted. However, please be aware that style-related DNWs will not be enforced due to ambiguity. Should your creator choose to give you a doodle that you feel is counter to a style- or medium-related DNW you listed, you will not be eligible to receive a backup gift or be sent out as a PH. 

*Accessibility-related DNWs that are clearly defined and unambiguous to moderate such as "DNW use of blur filters", "DNW use of the eye strain/trigram color palette", or "DNW gifs or animated/moving elements" do not fall under this category and will be enforced. 


Please comment here or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com with any questions or concerns!

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. 

Quick links:
 

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.

Signups for the 2021 round of Multifandom Doodle are now open! Hooray! 

Please review the Rules & FAQ for a refresher on how the signup process works. If your signup doesn't comply with the rules, a mod will reach out to you at the email address associated with your AO3 account and let you know what needs to be changed. 
 
If you have any questions, please comment on the Rules & FAQ post or on this post.

Hello! 

After nominations closed, a tagset fandom cleanup request was made for Marvel 616 and two more requests were later made for DCU comics and KOTOR/Star Wars Legends cleanup. Signups are going to be delayed until the requested cleanups have been done. 

If anyone familiar with Marvel 616, DCU comics, and/or KOTOR/Star Wars Legends fandoms is able to weigh in, please join the discussion on the Nominations Closed post -- this would be very helpful! 

A post will be made here on the Dreamwidth comm when signups open. Hopefully this will be no later than end of day November 2 (UTC).

Hello! Nominations are now closed. 

There is a lingering question about what duplicate tags are listed under Dragon Age. Once this question has been resolved and the duplicates removed, signups for the 2021 round will open. 

Please check the tagset and comment here if you notice anything else amiss such as misspelled tags, duplicate tags, or misassociated/migrating tags.

Hello! 

Nominations will close in about 24 hours at 11:59 PM UTC, October 31st. Remember that this may not be midnight in your timezone. 

As of right now, all requests for nominations clarifications have been answered -- thank you for your swift responses! 

So that signups can open as promptly as possible after nominations close, please take a moment to look at your fandoms in the tagset and comment here if you notice any duplicate tags, misspelled tags, improperly associated/migrating tags, or any other formatting issues that need to be corrected. Thank you to everyone who has done this already! It helps the exchange run a lot more smoothly.  

Please comment here if there are any questions about nominations. Anon is enabled.

Nominations are now open for Multifandom Doodle! 

Eligibility
  • All fandoms, characters, and ships are eligible for this exchange.
  • Original Works and RPF are eligible for this exchange.
    • Mods reserve the right to reject nominations deemed to be in bad taste (e.g. Nazi RPF). 

How to Nominate
  • 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").
  • 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. 
Please note that because of the number of character nominations allowed per fandom, and in the interest of avoiding ambiguity, the tagset will not accept "Any [Category]" character/ship nominations for the inaugural round of this exchange. 

If there are any questions, or nomination clarifications you would like to provide, please comment below.

Assignments &
 Matching
  • For your assignment, you are required to create a doodle focusing on at least one of your recipient's requested characters/ships while respecting their DNWs.
  • If you aren't able to be matched as a recipient, your requests will go out as an initial pinch hit.  
  • If you aren't able to be matched as a gifter (i.e. nobody's requesting what you're offering), we will make a post mentioning that we have unmatchable participants. Then we will send you an email asking you to add to your requests. 
  • If you have questions about your assignment and want to ask something of your recipient, please do not contact your recipient directly. Instead, email the mods, and we will act as an intermediary.

Defaulting & Pinch Hits
  • If you feel you can't draw what your recipient is requesting, please default ASAP so the mods can find a new artist for the request. There are no penalties for defaulting, except that if the gifter assigned to you also defaults, you will not be sent out as a pinch hit.
  • Pinch hits will be posted to the Dreamwidth comm and are first come, first serve. You do not have to be signed up for the exchange to claim a pinch hit. 
  • Any pinch hits that are claimed less than a week before the due date will be due ASAP before the reveals date.

Treats 
  • 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. 

Other  
  • Don't be a jerk. Kinkshaming, ship-bashing, harassment, and deliberately spiteful art are banned. 

Please comment on this post or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com with any other questions you may have!
