I encourage you to revisit the rules before rolling up your sleeves and signing up.

To be brief, and to borrow (rather heavily) from the sign-ups post from last year:

— You must have – and be logged into – an AO3 account to sign up. If you do not have one, e-mail the mods (details about that and how to use the sign up form here).

— Please, folks, only sign up if you are 100% certain you will be able to complete your assignment by 17 October 2015.

* * * *

REQUESTS

— You may request four to six fandoms from the list of nominated fandoms.

— For each request, do not forget that you can request art, fic, or both.

— Each fandom must you request must have one to six pairings from the list of nominated pairings.

— Your match will be based on fandom, pairing, and format (i.e. fic or art).

— The description section is optional, but it is a very good idea to include information like squicks (especially squicks), general likes, rating restrictions, and prompt ideas. Note, too, that there are things that can be done more easily in fic than in art (and vice versa), so keep that in mind (for more details on art prompts, go here). If you have a great deal to say, it might also be a good idea to link to a "Dear Creator" letter in your own space explaining everything.

* * * *

OFFERS

— You may offer four to ten fandoms from the list of nominated fandoms.

— Each fandom you offer must have one to ten pairings from the list of nominated pairings, and, again, if you choose to offer any pairing, double-check the list of nominated pairings for that fandom and make certain that any of the pairings listed are all right by you.

— Again, as for requests, you can offer art, fic, or both.

* * * *

Good notes to remember from last year.

— Occasionally, after you select a fandom, pairings you want might not appear in the drop-down menu despite already being in the tag set. If that happens, please copy and paste the pairing you want from the tag set, but remember that you need to get it exactly the same as it is there.

— You may edit your sign up as much as you like between now and the close of sign-ups.

— Please, please read over your sign-ups one last time before they close. After all, what if you ticked the wrong box?

— Sign-ups close at 5 PM (PDT) on 2 September 2015. (Countdown clock)

And now, without further ado:

Go here to sign up. :-)

Sign-ups are open, and that means this is a good opportunity to talk about your favorite fandoms and the pairings you ship for them. Feel free to comment about them here, or take to Tumblr and use the femslashex tag.

This is also a good opportunity to add your name to the pinch hit list. As before, if you join the group, you will receive e-mails when we are looking for pinch hits. You are under no obligation to make a claim, but, if you choose to do so, all you have to do is reply to the e-mail containing the desired pinch hit. You can also reply to it on the group page. This is a great way to help the community, and, speaking as a veteran pinch hitter, there are times when it can save the day for a challenge (and give you that warm 'n' fuzzy feeling of having stepped up to the plate when it was needed).

Link them here!

Be sure to include your AO3 user name, and the fandoms you nominated along with the link.

Please remember not to rank your pairings. If you're asking for art, please remember to leave some art-friendly prompts. Please respect that everyone has different likes and squicks, and may love pairings you can't stand.

If you post a placeholder/locked post, don't link to it here until it's filled in/unlocked and ready to read.

If you'd like to list "extras" (relationships that are nominated in the tag set, but that you can't fit on your requests), that's okay, but try to make sure you indicate that they're second preference, and give them less space than the requests that you're getting matched on.
