And a reminder that we have one outstanding pinch hit (link here) for the fandoms Grimm, 镇魂 | Guardian, and Once Upon A Time. Take a look and see if you can claim it!

We're lucky to have some wonderful pinch hitters each year, and not all of them are always signed up as participants. So this is a post for our pinch hitters. We are very grateful to everyone who volunteers to help out with pinch hits, and we'd like to give everyone the opportunity to receive treats!

If you've been assigned a pinch hit, please feel free to drop some requests in a comment below. Feel free to link to a letter if you wish but you can also simply write some prompts in your comment. Both pinch hitters who have and haven't also signed up for this round are welcome to comment on this post.

Remember to include your AO3 username, the fandoms and relationships you'd like, and whether you're interested in fic/art/vids. If you have any Do Not Wants or other binding request details, make sure to mention them. You're welcome to request from the 2020 tagset, or if you missed nominations you can also request any other eligible (ie. relationships allowed under the 2020 rules) ships and fandoms.

ETA: All initial pinch hits claimed!

We've heard back from everyone, and assignments have been sent out! We have 5 initial pinch hits, which will be posted shortly.

Sign-ups are closed! We have 2 people we're waiting to hear from before we can finalize and send out assignments. If your AO3 username begins with T or E, please check the email associated with your AO3 account!

A little over 24 hours left until sign-ups close! Reminder: you need to request three unique fandoms. The sign-up form will allow you to duplicate fandoms, but if you don't request three unique fandoms we'll ask you to add more after sign-ups close.

Sign-ups close at 9pm EDT tomorrow night, check our countdown if you're not sure what time that is for you.

Sign-up here at AO3.

If you're only offering the minimum, or you're offering rare fandoms or relationships, don't forget you can view all requests here when planning your offers. You can also double check the 2020 Rules, the 2020 Tagset, or drop a last minute recommendation at the fandom promotion post.

Once your letter is complete, don't forget to link it in the Dear Creator post!

Quick reminder as well that binding request details (including Do Not Wants, vid accessibility requirements, or canon gender identities/pronouns), will only be enforced by the mods if they are listed in your sign-up! If your DNWs or other binding details are only listed in your letter, you may wish to copy them into your sign-up before sign-ups close.

If you have any questions about sign-ups you can drop us a comment or email us at femslashexmod@gmail.com

Sign ups are open, which means it's time for Dear Creator letters.

Make sure to include your AO3 username, fandoms and pairings as well as the letter link.

Please wait until after you have completed/unlocked your letter post before commenting here.

You can include additional pairings in your letter if you have more than ten pairings you like in a fandom. You can also request f/f/m poly ships in your prompts as long as they aren't the only prompts for the f/f pairing. Please take care to make sure any such prompts are clearly optional and include more information about the pairings that are actually in your sign up so your creator doesn't feel bad about being unable to write a pairing if they matched with you on something else.

Please also be respectful of other participants if they have different preferences to you!

Sign-ups are now open a little early at the 2020 AO3 Collection.

They will remain open until 9PM EDT 23 September 2020

You must be logged into an AO3 account to sign up. Remember you can shoot us an email at femslashexmod@gmail.com and we can help you out with an invitation if you do not already have an account.

Don't forget to check out the fandom promotion post for ideas and to promote your own favourite fandoms throughout sign-ups.

Go over the rules one more time before starting your sign up, and remember to check the 2020 Tagset when choosing your fandoms and relationships. A quick reminder of the important points:

Requests

• You may request 3-10 fandoms from the tagset.


• For each request, you may choose 1-3 mediums (Fanart, Fanfic, and/or Fanvid)


• For each fandom, you may request 1-10 relationships from the tagset. If you choose to request any relationship, double-check the tagset and make certain that you're willing to receive any relationship listed in that fandom.


• You will match on at least one fandom, relationship, and medium.


• Remember that providing additional information can help your creator give you a gift you'll love, but that most details in the description section or letters will be considered optional. Please refer to the rules for more information if you're unsure about what may or may not be an optional detail!

Offers

• You may offer 3-10 fandoms from the tagset.


• For each offer, you may choose 1-3 mediums (Fanart, Fanfic, and/or Fanvid)


• For each fandom, you may offer 1-10 pairings from the tagset. If you choose to offer any relationship, double-check the tagset and make certain that you're willing to create for any relationship listed in that fandom.


• You will match on at least one fandom, relationship, and medium.

Don't forget...

• Check the Uncategorised and the No Media sections of the tag set for extra fandoms, crossovers, and original work tags.


• Occasionally relationships you want might not appear in the drop-down menu despite already being in the tagset for that fandom. If that happens, please copy and paste the relationship you want from the tagset, taking care to ensure that you've copied it exactly.


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


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


• If you write a Dear Creator letter, you can share them at our letters post!


• Your assignment will need to be completed and posted by 9PM EST on November 7. Please consider carefully whether you will be able to commit to that deadline before signing up.

All tagset clean up has been completed, with only a handful of outstanding nominations remaining in the queue for clarification. In addition to the issues below, we had some wandering tags in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Disney, Dragon Age, Emma, Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire, Old Guard, Riverdale, Tomb Raider, and Witcher. If you nominated in these fandoms, please double check the tagset to make sure your ships are in the correct place and let us know if anything needs correcting. If you nominated something not mentioned in this post but it hasn’t shown up correctly in the tagset yet, please do also let us know.



A Midsummer Night's Dream - All Media Types
We believe this tag may be too broad, given the number of Shakespeare adaptions. Can the nominator(s) comment with a link to their page and whether they prefer a specific adaption? If we don’t hear back, we will change to Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare.

Edit: we are approving this as Shakespeare, but will take corrections (only from the proven nominator) if needed up until sign-ups start.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Sabrina Spellman/The Weird Sisters has been deleted as ineligible, however ‘Agatha/Dorcas/Prudence Night/Sabrina Spellman’ is already in the tagset. If there is another group of Weird Sisters we are not aware of, can the nominator please comment with their preferred tag (that has all characters individually listed)

Crossovers
The following tags are pending/removed. Can the nominator(s) please comment confirming fandoms and link to their nomination page. If we don’t hear back we’ll take our best guess or reject if we can’t identify a likely fandom
Carolyn Martens/Jane Tennison
Carolyn Martens/Stella Gibson
Stella Gibson/Bedelia Du Maurier
Anck Su Namun/Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa
Diana (Wonder Woman)/Evy Carnahan O'Connell
Evy Carnahan O'Connell/Marion Ravenwood
Stella Gibson/Jane Tennison
Kang Seulgi/Lee Sunmi
Im Nayeon/Kim Yubin

Edit: we are approving all of these, according to best guess or suggestions from other participants where needed. But we will take corrections (only from the proven nominator) if needed up until sign-ups start.

Fate/Grand Order
Should this be combined with the other Fate/ canons? Any Fate/ fans are welcome to drop into the comments with relevant canon information for or against.

How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal
Annalise Keating/Olivia Pope is currently wandering between both. Can fans of either show please drop into the comments to discuss whether these fandoms should be combined? Otherwise we will move to Crossovers.

Legend of Zelda
We have tags wandering between Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors, and Twilight Princess. Could nominator(s) please confirm which fandoms they intended (with a link to their nominations page), or if Zelda fans can identify any ships which do or do not belong in their fandoms that would be appreciated.

Persona Series
All Persona tags have been combined under the Series umbrella tag. If your ship has gone astray, please let us know!

Picnic at Hanging Rock
Nominations got a little jumbled between the TV and 1975 version. Miranda Reid has been corrected to Miranda St Clare for the 1975 tags, and everything else has been moved according to name. If Mrs. Appleyard/Mlle. de Poitiers was also intended for Picnic at Hanging Rock 1975, please link your nominations page and drop us a comment.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails (Video Games)
Trails of Cold Steel and Trails in the Sky have been approved under the above umbrella tag.

The Magnus Archives
Naomi Herne/Any Female Lukas - Any ships are not allowed. Can the nominator please link their nomination page and confirm whether they prefer a specific Lukas or Original Female Lukas? Otherwise we will reject before sign-ups open.

偶像练习生 | Idol Producer, SNH48, and THE9 (Band)
We have some tags wandering between combinations of the above fandoms. Can anyone confirm which fandoms these ships belong to, or whether these fandoms should be combined? If nominator(s) wanted a specific fandom from the above, please drop a link to your nominations page in the comments and confirm the fandom.
Dai Meng/Yu Yan
Dai Yanni/Song Xinran
Fei Qinyuan/Sun Rui
Kong Xue'er/Xu Jiaqi
Liu Lingzi/Sun Rui
An Qi | Babymonster/Xu Jiaqi
Sun Rui/Xu Jiaqi
Sun Rui/Yu Shuxin
Xu Jiaqi/Yu Yan


To find your nominations page, simply go to the tagset, click on My Nominations, and copy the URL. Only mods can view your nominations page. At this stage we expect sign-ups may open at least a few hours early on the 16th, and will take clarifications and corrections up until then.

Nominations are now closed! Please check our previous clarification posts and stay tuned for a final clarification post soon. Sign ups will open on September 16, or possibly earlier.

Edited as I originally wrote November for the sign-up start date, whoops!
