Signups are now open and will remain open until October 4, 2025 11:59 PM Eastern time.

You may request between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-4 additional tags specifying a medium you'd like to receive a gift in (fic, art, podfic, or vid). You must request a minimum of three unique ships to be guaranteed a gift. A signup that only requests three different ships under Star Wars Disney Canon will guarantee a gift. A signup that only requests Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker under Original Trilogy, Star Wars Disney Canon, and Legends EU will not guarantee a gift, and if you are a pinch hit, the mods will be in touch to ask you if you want to add requests. If you decide not to, we will post your pinch hit, but not guarantee that you receive a gift.

You may offer between 1 and 10 fandoms, between 1 and 20 ships in each of those fandoms, and between 1-4 additional tags specifying medium you feel comfortable creating a gift in (fic, art, podfic, or vid). You must offer a minimum of four unique ships. A signup that only offers four different ships under Star Wars Disney Canon is fine. A signup that only offers Leia Organa/Lando Calrissian under Original Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars Disney Canon, and Legends EU is not. If you do not offer four unique ships, and when sign-ups have closed there is no-one you can create for, the mods reserve the right to delete your sign up without notifying you.

You must put something in your requests' optional details. At a minimum, we ask that you put any Do Not Wants (DNWs) you have. Not sure what to put for your Do Not Wants? Check out our A03 Exchanges 101 post for more information. Apart from that, you can also put Likes, Prompts, General Screaming about ships. If you say that you have no DNWs, we won't solicit a new gift for you if your gift includes something unexpected that you don't like, as long as they wrote a pairing that you requested.

If you write a letter for your creator, please link it in the ‘Dear Creator Letter’ URL field.

Two notes for This Year's Tagset

A few tags include the phrase "Any" (ex: Any Female Jedi) or "of Choice" (ex:Mand'alor of Choice/Mandalorian of Choice ). If you choose to use these nominations, please know that it is the creator's choice, that they can fill with either canonical versions or their own created original versions, as long as it fits the rest of your request. Any requests you make about specific people with these ships will not be enforced by the mods.

There are several tags that simply list the character "Fox" - for the purposes of the exchange this year, please assume these tags are for Commander Fox.

Happy signups! Feel free to comment here if you have any questions, Anon comments are on, but comments are not screened - be careful not to be too specific/revealing about your sign-up.

If you got all the way down here and want to satisfy one mod's curiosity, leave your favorite emoji in the optional details of your offers <3

Thanks for all your nominations so far! 4,429 fandom choices have been submitted so far (note that if two people nominate the same fandom, that counts twice towards that total). You can nominate at the tag set here.

AO3 has announced maintenance downtime from Sep 26, 07:30 5:30 UTC to (approximately) Sep 27, 03:30 UTC, which cuts a large chunk off the end of our planned nominations period. Because of this, we’ll extend nominations for an extra 16 hours, and instead close nominations on Saturday September 27 at 1pm UTC (What time is that for me?). However, we urge you to get your nominations in before the downtime begins, just in case AO3 doesn’t come back up in time for you to submit before we close nominations.

If your fandom requires evidence, please also submit it here on the Evidence Post by that time. We can't give a decision on all fandoms by close of nominations, but the sooner you make your case, the better your chances of a swift answer.

ETA: we have just been informed that the maintenance downtime has been rescheduled for two hours earlier, or 5:30 UTC. We won't alter the nominations schedule further, but we've updated the link above for maintenance time in your time zone to assist you.

Name: Kia (They/Them)
Age group: 20s
Country: Australia
Subscription/Access Policy: Don't give out access to people unless we've been mutuals for awhile or already know each other.

Fannish Interests: Fic writing, editing, icons, reccing, meta
I like to post about: Just whatever I get up to in the week (mostly shorter posts). I'm also trying to make a habit of journaling any media I get into, but that's definitely a skill I need to work on.

About Me: Been on dreamwidth for about five months now. For a while I've mostly used my journal as a personal diary, but recently I've wanted to make more public posts about the various things I enjoy. I've kind of distanced myself from being online everywhere else, but I'm still up for meeting new people here. I'm ideally looking for other active journals to read and maybe become mutuals with. Don't have to be in the same fandoms, but as long as we have some common interests then that's good enough for me.
  • Other hobbies: Music, language learning, reading, gaming
  • I'm looking for people who are: Neurodivergent and/or queer people, nerds who post about fandom/media often (especially meta stuff but that's just personal preference), people interested in languages, people who post about cooking or just anyone who wants to see me scream into the void about things that vaguely matter to me
Journal Info:
  • Minors DNI
  • Occasional nsfw+vent posts (read intro post for more info)

Nominations 2/2

23 Sep 2025 10:58 pm
[personal profile] sassysnowperson posting in [community profile] swrarepairs
Hello everyone! We've cleared the rest of the nominations and it turns out there's just one last clarification to post.

Vector Hyllus / Some Kind Of Killik Hivemind Kinky Bug Times

Nominator, I'm going to be honest and say I nearly passed it through, because it did make me laugh. Ultimately though, we decided that it's a little too unclear what a fic would need to include to be considered filling the tag.

Unless we hear otherwise from you, we will change and approve it as Vector Hyllus/One or More Member(s) of a Killik Hivemind (Legends). (Then you can add your request for kinky bug times in your sign up details). If you have a different idea of a more specific nomination that captures your request, we welcome it - it mostly just needs to be clear how many people (bugs) are in the relationship.

See you all soon for signups!

Prompt: September Twenty-three - 1 & 4 - oh no, there's only one [choice]




"Big guy, that bed is not going to accommodate you, let alone me trying to share it with you," Mikaela said, eyeing the recharge berth skeptically.

"A good thing I brought padding for you then, though… you are correct. I can rest on the decking, and lay my upper body across it, though, for the benefit of its charging fields."

Optimus proceeded to do so, after removing the padding and blanket from his subspace. Those were arranged on his legs, so that Mikaela would be comfortable.

"I'll be glad to be back home," she said wistfully.

"We will be soon."

Summary: The intersection of coding and design satisfied Donna's restless brain in ways it hadn’t been satisfied since before ... well, before whatever she’d lost had left her adrift again and her mother and Gramps tight-lipped but supportive.
