Signups are open!
Oct. 27th, 2025 05:52 pmSignups are open and will be until Wednesday November 5th, 2025 11:59pm EST (countdown).
The tagset is here and the automagic app to look at requests is here.
A few quick notes:
* Be sure to specify whether you're open to treats! Treats are extra gifts made for you by someone who is NOT your assigned creator. If someone sees your requests & likes them, they may make you an extra gift... but only if you specify that you're open to that kind of surprise.
* There are lots of nominations in the "Crossovers" fandom this year—so if you're familiar with more than one Fire Emblem game, be sure to check out the options there! You may find something you'd love to request or create. (You can always view all nominated tags at the tagset.)
* Finally, if you do not which to be matched with a specific person, please read the sign-up guide for instructions for how to reach out to the mods with your request.
If you have any other questions after reading the signup guide, feel free to reach out to us. We'd like to make participating as easy as possible, even if you're new to AO3.

Database maintenance
Oct. 25th, 2025 08:42 amGood morning, afternoon, and evening!
We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)
I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.
Ta for now!
Nominations Close in ~31 Hours!
Oct. 24th, 2025 01:50 pmAs of the time of this posting, all currently-pending nominations have been reviewed. You can see the full list of all characters/relationships that have been approved at the tagset here.
If a tag you nominated appears to be missing from the tagset, please double-check: it's possible your tag was simply moved to a different category, or was renamed slightly (e.g. "Byleth/Claude" instead of "Claude/Byleth"), but is still present.
If you still can't find the tag you're looking for, please check that your nomination fit the guidelines. In particular: only Fire Emblem fandoms are allowed, and you must individually name each character in a ship (so "The Golden Deer" is too general, but individually naming "Ignatz & Hilda & Lorenz" would be fine).
You can continue to nominate here through the end of the day on October 25th and you can always contact the mods if you have any questions.
