HOW-TO

For those who are new to AO3-based fan exchanges, here's a high-level overview of how this works:

(1) During the nominations period, you will nominate the characters and/or relationships you want to request during the exchange.

(2) During the signup period, you will request what gifts you'd like, using the tags that were nominated during the nominations period, and optionally you'll write prompts to further specify what kind of gift you'd like to see from your gifter. You will also offer what game/characters/ships you're willing to make a gift for.

(3) Once sign-ups close, after the matching algorithm has run, you will receive an email with your assignment.

(4) Once the deadline has passed and everyone has a gift (the deadline will be extended if not everyone has a gift yet), all gifts will be simultaneously revealed, and you'll receive an email with a link to your gift.
