We’re excited to announce the 2019 round will be starting next month! This year we'll be shifting the usual schedule later to accommodate mod availability while still avoiding a due date clash with Trick or Treat.

28 Aug-11 Sept: Nomination Period
14-25 Sept: Signups open
28 Sept: Assignments will be sent out by this date
9 Nov: Fanworks due
16 Nov: Archive goes live (or as soon as everyone has a gift)
23 Nov: Creators revealed

All deadline times this year will be 9pm EDT

This round we are considering the combined fandom rule for shared universes during nominations. In particular we would like to know whether it’s still working for some participants to combine shared universes like the MCU and Arrowverse, and for those who would like a change whether they would prefer we stop combining fandoms at all or have other suggestions for when and when not to combine.

We have also turned anonymous commenting back on, but anonymous comments will be screened for now until we’re confident that the spam comments we were receiving last round won't start back up. Comments will be unscreened as soon as possible but please bear with us if we aren't immediately available during the period prior to nominations.

If there are any other questions, suggestions, or concerns which participants would like to raise before nominations start, please drop us a comment or email the mods at femslashexmod@gmail.com. We won’t be finalising the rules and any changes for the upcoming round until shortly before nominations begin.
