Hello! This is a post for directing participants to places where they can find fanworks to nominate in the exchange and permission statements to go with. Essentially, a canon promo post! It's also where creators can give permission for recursion and let us know their work(s) are available.
For creators
Aside from individual participants' DNWs on their requests, we aren't able to enforce any restrictions on the contents/format of the recursive works created for this exchange. We also can't restrict who requests/offers to create for nominated fanworks.
All recursive works posted to this exchange will be required to use the "Inspired by" feature to link back to the work they are recursing. Creators who've opted-in do not have to approve the link.
Opting in/giving permission:
You must provide:
- a link to a permission statement
- the username used to post the work(s) you're letting us know are eligible
- the relevant fandom(s) and medium(s) — if it's a lot of fandoms, feel free to summarize.
- links to the work(s).
This can be something as simple as, "Hi, I'm [username with link] on AO3, I post [fandom & medium] and my permission statement is found here: [link]" or you can do a full promo post.
Additionally:
- You can give permission for just one work, or for all works, or somewhere in between.
- You do not need to be a participant in the exchange to opt-in on this post.
- You are welcome to comment anonymously without identifying yourself as the creator as long as you have a permission link.
- Posting here does not nominate your work for the exchange! Specific works still need to be nominated via the nominations process.
- Exchange writers posting from the Dreamwidth account they use to post their exchange letters can use their comment here to give permission, and may in that case skip the permission link.
For other participants
You can be as casual or as formal about your promo as you want, but you must include:
- creator name
- a link to where to find the work(s)
- permission statement link
- relevant fandom(s)/mediums(s) — if it's a lot of fandoms, feel free to summarize
This can be something as simple as "Hi, I'm going to nominate [title of work with link] by [creator name], a [fandom & medium]. The creator's permission statement is here: [link]" or you can do a full promo post.
Additionally:
- This is not a necessary step for the exchange; you can proceed directly to nominations without posting here.
- After posting here, you still need to nominate individual works. (See the nominations guidelines)
- Please feel free to browse and discuss/coordinate nominations, but top-level comments should be for promos only.
