This is a multimedia fanworks exchange celebrating the characters of the TV show Person of Interest. Participants will sign up to create and receive one brand new fanwork!
Whether you ship Shoot, Rinch, Bear/Happiness, or want something without any shipping — whether you want to create a fanwork or just cheer everyone on — we want you to participate! Nominations will run from April 4th-7th and signups will run from April 8th-17th, with fanworks due on May 29th
A nominations post will be going up on April 4th, and we’ll have a post with details on how to sign up going live on April 8th.
Want more information? Check out the rules and FAQ posts! Or send us an ask!
A treat is an optional work created for the collection. People who are not signed up for the exchange are welcome to create treats, as are participants.
Treats do not need to meet the same criteria as assignments. For example, the minimum word count for fic assignments is 1,000 words, but a treat can be fewer than 1,000 words. However, treats must still respect the recipient’s DNWs (Do Not Wants) and the mods will be checking each and every fanwork submitted to ensure that recipients’ DNWs are respected.
How do I post a treat?
While signed in on Ao3, go to Post->New Work.
From there, you can fill out the information as follows for your work down to this category: Post to Collections / Challenges? When you hit that, go ahead and type in the following: exchange_of_interest_2021.
If you are creating for a specific person’s prompts, be sure to giftthem the work!
What are pinch hits?
Pinch hits are any assignments that are not able to be matched by the mods during the initial matching phase, or any assignments where the creator is unable to finish before the deadline.
For all pinch hits, the mods are using a Google Group. When a pinch hit becomes available, the mods will send an email to the group with the request details. To claim the pinch hit, reply to the mod email ([email protected]) with your Ao3 username. Once it has been claimed, we will send out another email to update its status.
Unless we are past the deadline, pinch hits will be due at the same time as assignments.
How can I get the services of a beta?
We have a Google Group for people to post requests for assistance, as well as for those interested in offering their services.
If you are seeking a beta, please provide the following information:
Relationship category (F/F, Het, M/M, Multi, Other, Gen)
Rating (use the Ao3 system)
Any applicable warnings (Non-con, etc)
What you are looking for in a beta
What medium you are working in (Fic, Art, Remix, Podfic, Fanvid)
For Fic/Remix: Please provide a word count of your draft.
Please double check that your recipient is not the person offering to be your beta! If you are not sure, please ask the mods and we will check for you!
If you would like to offer your beta services, please provide the following information:
Relationship categories you prefer (F/F, Het, M/M, Multi, Other, Gen)
Ratings you will read (use the Ao3 system)
Any Squicks/triggers/Do Not Wants
Any beta-ing strengths you possess
What medium you are able to assist with (Fic, Art, Remix, Podfic, Fanvid)
For Fic/Remix: Please provide the maximum word count you would want to assist with.
We’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of a couple of rules: - You must create a fanwork about one character/pairing on your recipient’s Request List. They have to be the main focus of the fanwork. The character/pairing does NOT have to be one that you offered. If you are inspired by something else, you are free to run with it! - You may not incorporate content in your fanwork that violates your recipient’s squicks/triggers/do-not-wants. Other than that, your recipient’s prompts are guidelines meant to help you get inspired, not absolute musts. You do not have to create content you’re not comfortable with.
Here are a few other things to keep in mind: -DON’T post publicly about the specifics of your assignment. This includes Tumblr, Dreamwidth, LJ, Discord, or anywhere else. It is okay to say “wow, I’m so excited to get started!” It is NOT okay to say “I’m so excited to write for X” -DO contact the mods if you have problems with or questions about your assignment. We will handle problems quietly and relay questions so that your recipient remains in the dark about your identity. The mod email is [email protected]
