holly_poly | Sign-ups Open

Sign-ups are now open. They will remain so until 11:59pm EDT on 28 October. Please click here to see when the deadline is for your timezone.

The sign-up form is here. If you have any difficulties, let me know by commenting on this post or sending an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

As a reminder:

- You can request/offer 3-10 fandoms
- Each fandom must be different
- You can request/offer 1-10 relationships per fandom
- If you would like to request/offer any nominated relationship, tick the "Any" box
- Make certain to choose which medium or mediums you are willing to create for each fandom

Please remember that Any really does mean any. Do not request or offer Any unless you mean it. Any does not mean "any relationships except for these certain ones" or "any relationships involving this character" or "this relationship that I really like but forgot to nominate." It means any relationship whatsoever that was nominated under that fandom and is currently listed in the tag set.

It is fine to include prompts asking that a fourth/fifth/sixth/etc. character be added to the relationship you've requested. (For example, if you requested Harry/Hermione/Ron, you can include a prompt along the lines of: "... and if you want to have Neville join in, that's fine with me!") As with everything included in the Optional Details box or Dear Creator letter, though, please note that any such request is optional. Your creator is only required to create a fanwork for the specific relationship that you matched on.

Under the Requests section of the sign-up, there is a field to put a link to a Dear Creator letter if you have written one. There is also a box for Optional Details where you can put Do Not Wants, prompts, and various other details. While the optional details section of signups is optional, it is strongly suggested that participants include DNWs. Any DNWs or triggers included in the signup itself will be enforced by the mod. Any DNWs listed in letters but not the signup itself, as well as any general likes/dislikes/prompts/etc. listed in the signup or in letters, are optional for the creator. Anyone requesting vids is encouraged to list any accessibility requirements they have in their sign-up alongside other DNWs, eg. no flashing lights, fast-moving cuts, etc.

When you submit your sign-up, there is also an Optional Details box located under the Offers section. If there is any specific topic that is a strong DNW or trigger for you and you don't want to receive an assignment that mentions said topic even as an optional prompt, please provide details in that box. I will do my best to accommodate such requests when doing matching. You are also welcome to send an e-mail to the above address, if you prefer.

Participants will be matched on fandom, relationship, and medium (fanart, fanfic, fanvid, podfic). Please note that you only need to create a fanwork for one of the relationships requested; if you match on more than one, it is your decision which one (or ones) to choose.

I will make a post within the next few days providing more information regarding how pinch hits will be working this year. I'll also be making a post for people to put links to their Dear Creator letters if they choose to do so.
