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]
Please make sure you enter Person of Interest (TV) as the fandom. It should autofill.
Use the relationship field to nominate relationships AND characters. This allows for easier matching.
When nominating characters, use the format Character: FirstName LastName. For example Character: Harold Finch. Ao3 will NOT autofill this, so check your spelling before you submit!
When nominating platonic relationships, remember to use the format Character A & Character B.
When nominating romantic relationships, remember to use the format Character A/Character B. You may nominate threesomes, foursomes, moresomes, etc.
Crossover relationships are allowed! Please put the fandom for the crossover character(s) in parentheses. Example: Root/Abby Sciuto (NCIS).
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.

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.

Sign ups for this round of Exchange of Interest are open until April 4! Jump in while you still can; it’s going to be a ton of fun.
It’s dark times, so let’s write fic, create art, and generally make nice things for each other. <3
We have decided to extend the signup deadline one week. Signups will now close on April 11th. Get the word out, and sign up if you haven’t done so already!
By default, all canonical Ao3 tags associated with the Person of Interest fandom will be included. The nominations period is for non-canonical tags, e.g., rarer relationships and characters. Nominations made last year remain in the tagset.
This is what the nominations page looks like:
Please make sure you put Person of Interest (TV) as the fandom. Ao3 should autofill this for you.
You will use the relationship box to nominate characters. This allows for easier matching.
When nominating characters, please use the format Character: First Last. An example would be Character: Grace Hendricks. Ao3 will NOT autofill this, so check your spelling before you submit!
The following characters have already been added to the tagset:
Bear
Carl Elias
Claire Mahoney
Harold Finch
Harper Rose
John Reese
Joss Carter
Leon Tao
Lionel Fusco
Logan Pierce
Nathan Ingram
Root
Sameen Shaw
The Machine
Zoe Morgan
When nominating platonic (e.g. gen fic) relationships, please use the format Character A & Character B. If you see your relationship pop up when you start typing, then it is already canonical and you do not need to nominate it.
When nominating romanticrelationships, please use the format Character A/Character B. You may also nominate threesomes, foursomes, etc. If you see your relationship pop up when you start typing, then it is already canonical and you do not need to nominate it.
Crossoverrelationships are allowed. Please put the fandom for the crossover character(s) in parentheses. Example: Root/Abby Sciuto (NCIS).
