Creator Opt-In/Promo Post

[recursivemod]

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.

Gray Cardinal: Opt-In

[graycardinal]

I'm currently mulling over whether or not to write for this, but I know for sure I want to opt myself into the nomination pool.

Dreamwidth: graycardinal
AO3 (Dashboard): Gray_Cardinal
AO3 (Permission): Gray Cardinal

Fandoms: (& more; see below)
Castle
Doctor Who
Gargoyles
Kim Possible
Leverage
MCU (various)
Sherlock Holmes (various)
Star Trek (various)

As the above may suggest, I'm a multifandom writer. I am also a crossover geek and an exchange writer, which means I've done a lot of stories in fandoms ranging from small to micro- to nano-. I'm throwing that door wide open, so feel free to go over and poke through the list. That said, here are a handful of specific works that I'd be especially pleased to see picked up and extended:

A Sitch in Slash
I finished two stories in this Kim Possible series before running out of steam (there were sketchy notes for three more). As things stand, Shego owes Kim's mom a blank-check favor (Kim subcontracted), and Mrs. Dr. P and Shego are trading betas on really spicy slash fanfics. I'd love to see how the situation eventually sorts itself out.

A Woman Is Entitled...
A prequel to Galavant, in which we learn why Madalena mysteriously fell out of love with our hero between the opening credits and the actual wedding scene. Trouble is, it ends with Madalena badly in need of rescuing (a magic mirror is involved) - but almost no one knows about it except the readers.

Five College Careers Alexis Castle Might Consider...
This was a sort of choose-your-own-adventure piece, with several crossover scenarios; I'd be fascinated to see any of the short sketches fleshed out (maybe especially the NCIS:LA variant, although I'm sure some readers will root for the enthusiastically poly Reedie-grad option).

Let's Find Out
This story followed the trail of breadcrumbs whereby the MCU's Pepper Potts was properly introduced to Doctor Who's Sarah Jane Smith (by way of Maria Hill and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart). The obvious question is "What happened next?"

Mrs. Pollifax and the Irish Expatriate
In which Mrs. Pollifax runs into her neighbor, Grace Hartshorne, while visiting Ireland on a (non-working) vacation - and Grace discovers that she's not at all who she thought she was. The end of this sets new!improved!Grace up with an interview with Carstairs; I'd love to know where things go from there.
