Welcome to our third annual femslash exchange!

This year we are allowing crossovers and poly groupings, the RPF age has gone up to 18, changed the minimum offers and requests (see Nominations). We have also done away with the no penalty default date, and have added an anon period (see Your Assignment and Extras). There will posts about how to set up and use an AO3 account, as well as discussion of anon image hosting, and a way to post pinch hits and treats via the mods so that casual participants do not have to deal with AO3 if they don't want to.

Though we are still not crossposting to LJ, we have created a feed over there that will crosspost for us, so please follow thefemslashex for updates there.
