Now that the deadline has passed, here's all of the Post Deadline Pinch Hits, both new and old, that need to be fulfilled before the collection can be revealed. If you or someone you know can fulfill one of these PHs, please reach out through our regular contact methods! The comments beneath this post are also screened, so you can claim a PH there too.

With that said, here's all of our PDPHs:

Something about vampirism as metaphor for sucking the life out of each other and triggering each other's worst coping and making each other worse despite the love (because of the love?)...

PH #3: 光が死んだ夏 | Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu | The Summer Hikaru Died (Anime), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime & Manga)

Request 1 by Just_a_Random_Dungeon_Master
Fandom: 光が死んだ夏 | Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu | The Summer Hikaru Died (Anime)
Tsujinaka Yoshiki (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), Original Indou Hikaru (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu)

Idea: An AU where the original Hikaru comes back, but as a vampire this time around. He's still not human, and Yoshiki knows there's something wrong with him, and he's still drawn closer and closer to his friend/crush...

(Hikaru and Yoshiki can be friends or shipped, either is ok with me. I mean Yoshiki definitely has a crush on Hikaru but I'm okay with believing Hikaru liked him back and also with believing Hikaru didn't like him back)

DNW: explicit nsfw, incest or psuedo-incest, dramatic age gaps or emphasis on age gaps, omegaverse, any m/f ships not listed in the request, noncon or dubcon, eye gore, underage, any AI usage at all, cheating/infidelity

Request 2 by Just_a_Random_Dungeon_Master
Fandom: 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime & Manga)
Zenin Mai (Jujutsu Kaisen), Kugisaki Nobara (Jujutsu Kaisen)

An AU where Mai is brought back as a vampire would go crazy. Especially if Nobara's powers work differently on vampires, with resonance impacting anyone Mai has fed from. And ESPECIALLY if Mai is maybe the one who saves Nobara by turning her into a vampire. Maibara is one of my fave ships btw :]

DNW: explicit nsfw, incest or psuedo-incest, dramatic age gaps or emphasis on age gaps, omegaverse, any m/m or m/f ships not listed in the request, noncon or dubcon, eye gore, underage, any AI usage at all, cheating/infidelity

some fandom specific dnws: maki being romantically interested in nobara (it's fine if nobara is into maki), disrespecting the fact that kirara is a trans woman, gojo or sukuna or megumi being interested in women, nobara or mai being interested in men.

PH #4: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

Request 1 by KicknInTheBurn
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Jenny Calendar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

No degrading language or non-con

Fluff and smut, angst, hurt/comfort are all very much in my wheelhouse

Request 2 by KicknInTheBurn
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Leonard "Bones" McCoy (ST:AOS), Spock (ST:AOS)

DNW's = degrading language, non-con

Angst and yearning, fluff and smut, hurt/comfort are my favourite tropes

PH #7: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga), 전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong, 人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Request 1 by treescape
Fandom: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
Characters: Toga Himiko (BnHA)

Ahh, I adore her. I love how much she loves cute things. I love how much she wants a world that accepts her and that she can live in. I'd love to see anything where she gets either or both of those things. Canon-verse or AU are both equally wonderful! I'd love to see her as an actual vampire OR I think it could be super interesting to have her be a vampire hunter with her love of blood.

I adore Himiko/Ochaco if you would like to write something shippy, though I will be equally thrilled with anything gen or solo! I love her interactions with the other League of Villains characters! I also love her and Tsuyu platonically.

DNW: Permanent character death; unhappy ending (ambiguous endings are fine!); unrequited love; infidelity; underage; non-con (dub con like in a fuck or die situation is fine!); watersports; scat; vore; age play.

General likes in no particular order: Hurt/comfort; sick fics; nightmares; bickering; slice of life; established relationship; getting together; gift giving; fluff; angst with a happy ending; pining; feelings realizations; forced to work together; enemies to lovers; friends to lovers; mutual pining; fake dating; undercover as a couple; marriage of convenience; love confessions; battle couples; bed sharing; found family; pet names/endearments; wilderness/disaster/apocalypse survival.

NSFW likes in no particular order: Praise kink; orgasm delay/denial; begging; reunion sex; oral sex; possessiveness; just the tip; cock warming; consensual somnophilia; lots of kissing; PWP (but I also love porn WITH plot too lol).

Treats are always welcome!

Fandom: 전지적 독자 시점 - 싱숑 | Omniscient Reader - Sing-Shong
Characters: Yoo Joonghyuk (ORV)

I feel like Yoo Joonghyuk would make such a good vampire, but also he'd kick ass at hunting vampires. I'd love to see him in either a canon or an AU setting! For canon, would being a vampire/vampire hunter be one of his attributes? Is he turned into a vampire as a penalty given during a scenario or as a punishment from a constellation? In an AU, is he newly turned in some apocalyptic setting or hunting vampires all on his lonesome until a certain companion barges into his life?

I adore Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk if you would like to write something shippy, but I will equally love something gen or solo!

I just really think Sha Hualing should get to bite someone, just as a little treat!

I love her in any f/f pairing if you'd like to do something shippy, but will be equally thrilled with something gen or solo!

Request 1 by Prince_kun
Fandom: The Night Manager (TV 2016)
Characters: Jonathan Pine (The Night Manager), Richard Roper (The Night Manger), Teddy Dos Santos (The Night Manager)

Ngl when I finished S2 the first thing I thought was “damn this would make a great vampire au”…I don’t really know why but something about Jonathan Pine gave Vampire Hunter, having to infiltrate the vampires and pretend to be one, and Teddy and Richard Roper were actual Vampires in my mind in that moment. There was a vision.

Would like some variation of Johnathan/Teddy. No incest, scat, or minor/adult on page content plz and thank you. Other than that, you are free.

Request 2 by Prince_kun
Fandom: Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice

My favorite crack (book) ship was Marius/Santino. The tag on AO3 is dead dead. Please help contribute to reviving this ship tag—I mean, fulfilling my prompt!

DNW: on page minor/adult content, scat

Honestly whatever Marius and Santino are doing should be bordering pretty dead dove if it’s sexual but if not it can be cute too like a “meet ugly” fic.

Request 3 by Prince_kun

Characters: Armand (IWTV 2022), Daniel Molloy (IWTV 2022)

Devil’s minion my love! 😍 Anyways yeah I just want that. The end. Can be mutual pinning, meet cute, meet ugly, post S2-S3 continuation, etc.

DNW: incest, scat, on page graphic adult/minor relationships.

Request 4 by Prince_kun
Fandom: Twilight Series - All Media Types
Characters: Charlie Swan (Twilight), Carlisle Cullen (Twilight)

Charlie and Carlisle are so hot together. 💀 Anyways, I like the idea of them getting back together once Bella’s older. You can include other couples if you want like Alice/Bella or Jacob/Edward or anything else but I want the focus to be Charlisle.

DNW: Scat, blood related incest

Request 5 by Prince_kun
Fandom: Hannibal (TV)
Characters: Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal TV)

Hannibal being a vampire instead of a cannibal or maybe he’s a vampire cannibal so he eats other vampires. :3 Food for thought no?

- Ship Specific: Carmilla/Laura
- Fandom Specific: I just love Carmilla!! She's the best character hands down. I would just love to see anything with her—with Laura, with any of her past lovers, worldbuilding on her and her backstory, whatever! I also love her "weakness", that she has to use anagrams of her name. It feels so fae to me, I love it. But I just adore how she was written. So touchy-feely with Laura. She's so physical with her affection and I find that really attractive about her character ᵕｗᵕ

DNWs:
- NSFW-related DNWs: Any explicit sexual content (but artistic/nonsexual nudity, eroticism, sensuality, suggestiveness, sexual tension, and implied/not the focus are fine), nonconsensual romantic touching on the butt, breasts, genital areas, and feet, nonconsensual kissing anywhere other than face-cheek/hand/torso/neck, bodily waste kinks, petplay, ageplay, foot fetish, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, rape/dubcon/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy

Fandom: 悪魔城ドラキュラ暁月の円舞曲と蒼月の十字架 | Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow
Any Character

Treats are always welcome and always appreciated!

Likes:
- General: vampires (AUs very welcome), blood drinking, body horror, unwilling and/or monstrous transformations, hurt/comfort, injuries/blood/wounds, gore, cannibalism, angst, violence, mysteries, casefic, crackfic taken seriously, unorthodox fanfic formatting (such as documents, choose your own adventures, html/css, etc), epistolary, supernatural elements, gothic imagery, cosmic horror, occultism, toxic yuri, regular yuri, worldbuilding
- Ship Specific: Julius/Arikado, Soma & Mina (Soma/Mina is okay but I prefer gen!)
- Fandom Specific: Soma is my favorite character!!! I think he should get to be a little more vampiric as a treat. I mean he *is* Dracula reincarnated after all... Who says that doesn't come with fangs and a thirst for blood :3c ? I also like it when Arikado is played more vampiric too!! He may be a dhampir but he still has to sate the bloodthirst every now and again. I think it might be really cute to see Arikado teaching Soma how Being A Vampire (If Only A Little Bit) Works. Or maybe Soma is just a full vampire now! That would also be super cool and I'd love that! And maybe Soma's a full vampire and he's not happy with it because he can't go out in daytime and obviously being a college student with a supernatural bloodthirst isn't great but Mina's always there to comfort him :). Also I will always accept bad ending angst!!!!! I LOOOOOVE Dark Lord Soma!!!

- Sensitive Content DNWs: real world religious content (canon-typical is fine), violence with staples/nails/bolts etc, extremely detailed descriptions of teeth (fangs/sharp teeth/vampire bites are fine), dental decay/rot, dental trauma, loss of teeth
- Writing and/or Trope DNWs: Drastically changing the setting/worldbuilding (includes AUs such as modern, mafia, college, etc.) (unless requested), character bashing (unless requested), major miscommunication plots, crossovers (unless requested), first person POV (unless in an epistolary context), x reader fics
- Fandom Specific DNWs: Soma/Arikado, Soma/Julius, Any other romantic Mina ships (platonic is fine), and writing Dark Lord Soma as a separate identity from regular Soma. It should not be a plural situation. Dark Lord Soma should be the same person as regular Soma, just Evil. (I'm very picky with plural rep!!)

- Ship Specific: Banks/Jen, Banks/Liv
- Fandom Specific: I've had a Vampire!Banks AU living in my head rent free for the past half a year and I have not had the chance to write anything about it yet!!!! So if this strikes your fancy feel free to give it a whirl :). I also think Vampire!Liv might go kinda crazy!! Maybe Reactor's making vampire super soldiers...? Could be cool! Alternatively... vampire Steve Clark. Come on. That'd be really funny.

DNWs:
- NSFW-related DNWs: Any explicit sexual content (but artistic/nonsexual nudity, eroticism, sensuality, suggestiveness, sexual tension, and implied/not the focus are fine), nonconsensual romantic touching on the butt, breasts, genital areas, and feet, nonconsensual kissing anywhere other than face-cheek/hand/torso/neck, bodily waste kinks, petplay, ageplay, foot fetish, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, rape/dubcon/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy

- Ship Specific: Idia/Vil, Idia/Malleus, Lilia & Idia
- Fandom Specific: I forgot to nominate Vil, but I love love love his vampire costume!! I have this plot bunny that lives in my thoughts of Vampire!Vil turning Idia and now Idia has to figure out how being a vampire works while ALSO dealing with Vil Relationship Drama (tm). On a different note, I also think there's a lot you can do with Lilia! Like he just looks like a vampire. I think it would be so funny to have like a "Lilia Does Vampire Things And Nobody Else Notices" fic.

DNWs:
- NSFW-related DNWs: Any explicit sexual content (but artistic/nonsexual nudity, eroticism, sensuality, suggestiveness, sexual tension, and implied/not the focus are fine), nonconsensual romantic touching on the butt, breasts, genital areas, and feet, nonconsensual kissing anywhere other than face-cheek/hand/torso/neck, bodily waste kinks, petplay, ageplay, foot fetish, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, rape/dubcon/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy

- Ship Specific: Player/Vicomte de V_____, Player/Captivating Princess (toxic!!!!!)
- Fandom Specific: Caveat Emptor lives in my head rent free and it will never leave to be honest. I just love the Vicomte :)))))) He's my favorite!!! I also think that the Captivating Princess is very vampire coded. Like the rest of her family is monstrous and she isn't physically but might as well be morally? Yeah. That's so vampire to me. I think it would be very sexy to have her drink the Player's blood and do some sick fucked up red honey shit to them 👍

DNWs:
- NSFW-related DNWs: Any explicit sexual content (but artistic/nonsexual nudity, eroticism, sensuality, suggestiveness, sexual tension, and implied/not the focus are fine), nonconsensual romantic touching on the butt, breasts, genital areas, and feet, nonconsensual kissing anywhere other than face-cheek/hand/torso/neck, bodily waste kinks, petplay, ageplay, foot fetish, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, rape/dubcon/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy

Request 6 by BubblyishYoshi
Fandom: SPY x FAMILY (Manga)
Loid Forger | Twilight (SPY x FAMILY), Yor Briar Forger | Thorn Princess (SPY x FAMILY)

Treats are always welcome and always appreciated!

Likes:

- Ship Specific: Loid/Yor
- Fandom Specific: I just think this fandom would make for a really good vampire AU!!! I think you absolutely could have WISE agents be vampire spies, and turns out Yor is unintentionally a vampire hunter whereas Yuri works for the government explicitly hunting down Westalian vampire spies! I think adding the vampire angle would add extra angst to Twilight's backstory and would also make the romance between Yor and Loid extra forbidden...!! Because even though she doesn't know he's a vampire (and let's be honest, would Yor even know about vampires?? She's a little oblivious lol, it'd be silly if she thought she was just killing normal people this whole time) it would still be even more dangerous for him...! Idk I just think it'd be really cool :)

DNWs:
- NSFW-related DNWs: Any explicit sexual content (but artistic/nonsexual nudity, eroticism, sensuality, suggestiveness, sexual tension, and implied/not the focus are fine), nonconsensual romantic touching on the butt, breasts, genital areas, and feet, nonconsensual kissing anywhere other than face-cheek/hand/torso/neck, bodily waste kinks, petplay, ageplay, foot fetish, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, rape/dubcon/non-con, omegaverse, pregnancy

- Fandom Specific DNWs: Yuri/Yor, Loid/Fiona, shipping Anya or Bond romantically with anyone: that is a CHILD and a DOG. Please keep anything with Anya or Bond SFW and Gen!!!!

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Hello everyone!

Nominations have officially closed, and signups are now open!

For the nomination questions to which I received no answer, here are the actions I took:
Original Work: "Original Character(s)" was rejected.
Frankenstein & Related Fandoms: The fandom and characters associated with Frankenstein & Related Fandoms were rejected. However, I added the requested characters under the fandoms for "Frankenstein - Mary Shelley" and "Frankenstein (2025)", which seem to be the most relevant fandoms currently.
Ensemble Stars/Ensemble Girls: I added Anzu (Ensemble Stars!) to the Ensemble Stars! Fandom, and I added Anzu (Ensemble Girls!) to the Ensemble Girls fandom.

Otherwise, signups are now open and will remain open for 2 weeks! You can sign up here, at the Collection! We look forward to seeing your requests, everyone!

Nomination Questions

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 20:23:54 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Hello everyone!

Nominations have been open for a little while now, and I have a few questions about some of the fandoms among the many you all have nommed! If a fandom you nominated is listed below, please reach out through the comments of this post or any of our regular contact methods with your best answer!

Frankenstein & Related Media

The scope of this fandom is a bit broad for this exchange, given that not all of the related media take place in the same universe. Nominator, are there specific instances of Frankenstein media you would like to nominate?

Original Works

Nominator, you've just put "original characters" in this section. We allow original characters to be nominated within specific fandoms, but typically characters nominated for Original Works are a little more specific. It would be super helpful if you could specify what your goal for this nomination is!

Ensemble Stars!/ Ensemble Girls!

Anzu has been nominated under the Ensemble Girls! fandom but with the Ensemble Stars! disambiguator. Is there a reason you've chosen to nominate her under this fandom as opposed to Ensemble Stars?

魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Modao Zushi - Moxiang Tongxiu & Related Fandoms

Nominators, we already have The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System and Tian Guan Ci Fu | Heaven Official's Blessing in the tagset, though Módào Zǔshī itself has not yet been nominated. Would you please nominate your characters underneath more specific fandoms?

Twilight - Stephanie Meyer/Twilight - All Media Types

Nominator for the book, would you be comfortable having your fandom merged with Twilight - All Media Types, or would you like to keep them separate? If keeping them separate, Nominator for All Media Types, we would ask that you render your fandom to a more specific version, such as the movies.

comments

Nominations open!

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:23:47 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Hello everyone! Nominations are officially open!

You can find the tagset here: Tagset Link

Other than that, small reminder that we allow fandoms without vampires in them originally to be nominated, but works must contain at least one vampire or vampire adjacent character, so you'll be committing to writing or receiving Vampire AU content for these fandoms. Additionally, please disambiguate your character nominations! Your moderator will appreciate it :)

Happy nominating!

I love Sirius/Lily as a pair - or as close friends. If you write them, please give me a happy ending. On Severus or Bellatrix, I'd love to see their characters with a twist - maybe they've got a gentle side only a few people get to see? What if Bellatrix wasn't actually so evil? Still crazy, yes absolutely, but maybe as someone on the good guys' side?

Elijah making a deal with just about anyone and betraying them due to a loophole. Like I promise that my brother will not kill you if you co-operate.

I love Female/Male relationships and Female & Male friendships.

I love Elijah/Elena, Elijah/Hayley, Elijah/Original Female Character.

Clint and someone else (Maybe Kate, Maybe OFC) get trapped in a cargo container together.

Kate or OFC learns the secret that Clint is a vampire. Clint expects rejection but is comforted instead.

Kate or OFC gets caught sneaking into Clint's home (Because she wants a souvenir). Then discovers he is a vampire.

Vampire Clint thinks that Kate or OFC smells like she'd taste horrible (She does not. He already know she'd be epic). Or so he keeps telling himself. Otherwise he's going to go nuts and bite her for funsies.

I love Clint/Kate and Clint & Kate and Clint/Original female character.

I ship Marc/Layla, Steven/Layla, and Marc/Steven/Layla, if you want to include a shippy element.

==============

DNW

incest
non-con or dub-con sex (non-consensual blood drinking as a sexual metaphor is fine)
focus on gender or sexuality headcanons
active unrequested ships involving requested characters (references to characters having prior partners are fine)
focus on unrequested ships (background pairings are fine, as are OC/OC couples meant to facilitate plot)
explicit permanent breakup or negation of my ships (I'm fine with them not being together during a fic, with established couples being on a break, or with their status not being mentioned at all, just please no "they will never be together/will never get back together")
bigotry beyond what is shown to be typical in the canon universe
graphic eye damage
medical torture
graphic descriptions of vomit, urine, or feces
parasitic infestations
kink AUs (eg. omegaverse, BDSM AUs)
crossovers/fusions between unrequested canons (with the exception of oWoD, as indicated in my likes)

Prompts:

-Moon Knight has been returned from death twice now. Maybe it's given him a literal taste for blood.
-How does that whole "protecting the travellers of the night" thing interact with vampires?
-Layla or Moon Knight discover vampires are real as a part of one of their missions.
-Some vampire myths were deliberately spread as a smokescreen, and our hero(es) needs to figure out which ones are real.

Nomination Questions

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:48:06 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Hello everyone!

A few days have passed since nominations opened, and we're back with some nomination questions! If your nomination is listed here, you can reach out with answers through the comments of this post or any of our other contact methods!

The questions below are organized by fandom. If you nominated for any of these fandoms, please answer the question(s) for them!

Layton Kyouju Series | Professor Layton Series

For those who nominated the character "Future Luke Triton"— are you referring to the adult character who is present in the LMJ anime, or the character from Unwound Future?

OMORI

Regarding those who nominated "The Hooligans": We allow group nominations for groups with ambiguous members! From the cursory research I've done, it seems like all of the characters that are a part of the "Hooligans" group have names that could be nominated as separate characters. If so, please nominate them as separate characters rather than a group! If not, let me know and I'll approve the nomination as-is.

Marvel 616 and Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel 616 nominator, are you alright with your nominations being separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom? If so, we'll separate your fandoms into "Marvel Comics" and "Marvel Cinematic Universe". Or, alternatively, MCU nominator, we can merge your MCU nomination into Marvel 616 if you'd prefer. Let me know!

Nominations Open!

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:59:07 GMT

As a reminder, you may nominate fandoms and characters from fandoms that do not contain vampires or vampire-adjacent characters, but please do so with the knowledge that fics for the resulting fandoms must be written as Vampire AUs!

FAQ

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:50:58 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

This is the FAQ, for frequently asked questions about the exchange itself. If you're new to exchanges and looking for a guide to unfamiliar terms, check out the Exchange Glossary.

Exchange Questions

What is Fang Frenzy?

It's a writing exchange hosted on AO3, with a particular focus on vampires! Participants sign up to create a work that's at least 500 words and that contains at least 1 vampire or vampire adjacent character. In return, they receive a work that also meets those specifications from someone else!

What counts as a vampire?

If a character exhibits more than one trait that's been previously associated with vampires in pop culture or literature, they're probably a vampire! The most common trait is needing to drink blood (or another substance) from a living being in order to survive. Other traits include but are not limited to immortality, undead-ness, supernatural beauty, supernatural speed/strength, and the ability to turn into a bat. This definition is by no means definitive. We're not looking to start fights about what's a vampire and what's not, so we'll be sticking to it pretty loosely. Whether or not a character counts as a vampire, a vampire-adjacent character, or not is decided on a case-by-case basis by the mod. So if you have a question about whether your character is a vampire, reach out to them!

What's a 'vampire-adjacent character'?

A vampire-adjacent character is one that exhibits vampiric traits, but might not be called a vampire by name, or may have traits that differentiate them from classic vampires. Examples include the Bloodsuckers from Darkest Dungeon, Flutterbat from My Little Pony, and Vladats from Ben 10.

Whether or not a character fits into this category is decided by me, (FangFrenzyMod) on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out through any of the contact methods available.

Participation Questions

How do I join?

You join by signing up to the AO3 collection challenge before sign-ups end! You can also nominate fandoms during the nominations period, to make sure there's fandoms you want to write about in the exchange, but nominating fandoms doesn't automatically sign you up for the exchange.

How many fandoms do I have to offer/request during sign up? How many can I offer?

You must offer at least two fandoms, and you must request at least two fandoms. The maximum for both requests and offers is 10.

What fandoms and characters can I nominate?

You can nominate any characters from any fandom, even if they don't have vampires in them canonically.

How many fandoms and characters can I nominate?

You can nominate 10 fandoms maximum, each with a maximum amount of 15 characters!

Can I nominate crossovers?

Yes! Please do so under the fandom "Crossover Fandom", and make sure to clarify what fandom the characters are from! Put parentheses next to each character's name containing their fandom. Example: Count Orlok (Nosferatu 1922). This is called disambiguating!

Should I disambiguate my character nominations?

Yes please! It makes my job a lot easier. See the question above about crossovers for an example and a definition of disambiguation!

Can I nominate groups of characters?

Also yes, but given the amount of allowed characters in the nomination form, please do so only for groups with members that aren't clearly defined. For example, we would allow "Dracula's Army (Castlevania 2017)" but not "Dracula's Forgemasters (Castlevania 2017)". If you'd like, feel free to reach out to the mod with clarifications and details for groups, and we'll take them into account!

Can I nominate relationships?

Given the amount of allowed character nominations, we don't allow specific relationships to be nominated. If you want only a certain relationship in a fandom, I would recommend nomming the characters separately and then specifying in your request during signups that you'd like to see that relationship. If you also want other characters from the same fandom in addition to that relationship, I would recommend making a separate request for that. You're allowed to make multiple requests during signups, and you can make multiple requests per single fandom as long as you have a maximum of 10 requests, so I suggest doing this if you want to delineate between which characters in a specific fandom you'd like to see together.

Can I nominate original characters?

Yes! Please enter your original characters under the fandom that you want them to be from, and please do so under the general form of "Original Character(s)", with adjectives added as necessary for your specifications. For example, Original Female Character(s)", "Original Vampire Character(s)", "Original Background Character(s)", etc.

Can I nominate for Original Works?

Yes! For this fandom only, please enter the type of character you would like as the character tag. Examples from our 2025 tagset include: "Vampire Who Killed Their Lover Trying To Turn Them (OW)", "Rich Person With A Menagerie Of Vampires They Treat Like A Collection Of Exotic Animals (OW)", and "Person (Vampire) Who Just Crawled Out of Their Grave And Can't Remember Their Past (OW)". These can be as long or short as you'd like, as long as they remain within the character limit.

Can I nominate worldbuilding?

Yes! Please do so using the character name "Worldbuilding (Fandom Name)".

My fandom doesn't have vampires in it! Can I still nominate it?

Yes! But because all works must contain at least one vampire or vampire-adjacent character, works for fandoms that do not contain vampiric characters must be written such that they do contain vampiric characters. In short, if your fandom has no vampires, then you should write it as a Vampire AU or something of the like.

Do I need to nominate to participate?

Nope! Nominating is optional, but it helps you make sure that there's stuff you want to write about in the exchange.

What can I include in my DNW?

You can include anything in your DNW, from characters, to tropes, to scenarios, to tags, to certain ships, to writing details (like POV, certain words to exclude, certain formats), and more. The only thing you cannot DNW is genfic. (Genfic is fic that does not contain ships). We cannot force anyone to write ships that they don't want to write, and we cannot force people to write NSFW content.

I missed sign-ups. Can I still join?

Unfortunately, because matching happens based on sign-ups, if you missed them then we can't let you join the exchange. If you still want to be a part of it, you can take on pinch hits when they appear, or you can write a treat for someone!

Can I write for someone other than my assignment?

If they are accepting gifts through AO3 and indicate that they would be okay with treats in their signup, you can! If you wish to allow others who are not assigned to write your gift to create additional fics for you, you should indicate that you would like to receive treats in your signup.

What can I write?

You can write anything, as long as it fulfills your assignment's signup and contains at least 1 vampire or vampire-adjacent character. In order to fulfill your assignment's signup, your work must belong to at least 1 of their requested fandoms and contain at least 1 of their requested characters, and your work must not include anything your assignment specifically indicated that they did not want to receive. These specifications will be indicated in your assignment's DNW within their signup. If your assignment does not include a DNW, then you are free to write anything as long as it fills the other criteria.

Can I ask for an extension?

Not for this exchange! We have a hard deadline.

Can I talk to my recipient?

No! Please do not attempt to contact your recipient! If you need to ask them a question, reach out to the mod and they'll ask for you.

What if I need to drop out?

If you need to drop out, the assignment you were given to write will become a Pinch Hit. If you drop out, you are not guaranteed a gift, and your signup will not become a Pinch Hit if the person writing your gift drops out or defaults.

What if I don't make the deadline?

If you do not post your fic by the deadline, your assignment will become a Pinch Hit, and you will not be guaranteed a gift in the event that the person writing your gift also didn't make the deadline.

If you have a question that isn't found here, reach out to me and I'll answer it and possibly add it to the FAQ!

Beginner's Guide to AO3 Exchanges

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:18:31 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Hello! Hopefully this post will help you get your bearings! AO3 exchanges can be pretty daunting when you first start participating, so I hope that this guide makes them a little less so.

First, I recommend checking out the Exchange Glossary. I'm going to use a lot of exchange-specific terms in this post without defining them, so you should familiarize yourself with the terms on this page before reading this.

Now, we'll go through the exchange process step-by-step, so you get an understanding of how everything works!

1. Nominations

During nominations, you suggest fandoms and characters to add to the exchange's tagset. The tagset will usually be linked on whatever platform the exchange is sending out announcements with. Click on the link to the tagset, then the "Nominate" button to fill out your Nominations page. Fill out the forms according to the specifics of the exchange, and then you're done! Just know that nominating for an exchange does NOT sign you up automatically. When the time comes, you'll need to fill out a sign-up as well.

2. Sign-Ups

During signups, you choose fandoms and characters from the tagset that you want to write about (Offers), as well as fandoms and characters that you would like to receive a gift fic for (Requests). Sign-Ups are located in the Exchange's Collection, not the tagset. For your Requests, you can fill out optional details with DNWs, a link to a letter, or certain tropes or prompts that you like. You don't have to, but filling out optional details is key to helping your creator know what kind of fics you like, so you can receive a gift that you're both happy with!

3. Matching

After sign-ups close, the moderators of the exchange will match all of the participants with requests that they can write for. You'll receive someone to write for, and someone else will (hopefully) receive you! The reason I say "hopefully" is because, sometimes, not everyone's requests will be matched with a creator during the process, so the mods will put out some initial pinch hits for those requests once matching is done.

4. Writing

After you've received your assignment, you can start writing! Make sure to take your recipient's DNWs into account, because most exchanges enforce them. Make sure you finish your work before the deadline!

5. Pinch Hit Period

When the writing period is over, sometimes not everyone will have finished their work on time. Exchanges usually plan out a little bit of time before the collection opens for everyone to see, so that pinch hitters have time to fill in for the people who defaulted and make sure everyone gets a gift.

6. Collection Opens!

After all of the pinch hits are in, the collection will open so everyone can read the fics people wrote! Make sure you leave a comment on the fic someone wrote for you, as it's considered polite to do so.

7. Author Reveals!

After a little while of authors being anonymous, exchanges will usually reveal who wrote which fic. After that, the exchange is over!

Overall, the process isn't too difficult once you get a hang of it. The hardest part is usually signing up, because it's a lot of forms and menus. But after you get it all sorted out and you start writing, that's where the fun of exchanges happens!

I hope this little overview helped you learn the general process of exchanges. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Fanfiction Exchange Glossary

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 06:53:19 GMT

Posted by: fangfrenzymod

Seeing terms you don't recognize thrown around the exchange? No worries! Check here to see definitions for common terms and acronyms that are used in fandom spaces and exchanges.

Collection: The page on AO3 that contains information, requests, sign-ups, and finally, fanfics for an exchange on AO3. You go to an exchange's collection to sign up for it, if it's hosted on AO3.

Tagset: The list of all the fandoms, characters, and tags that users want to write about for an exchange. If you want to nominate for an exchange, you go to the tagset.

Nominations, Noms: Refers to the first period of an exchange, when AO3 users suggest fandoms, characters, and tags to be added to the tagset. Nominating for an exchange does not automatically sign you up for it.

Request: The section of your sign-up that contains what fandoms, characters, and tags you'd like to receive a gift about. Requests contain an "Optional Details" section, which is where you put your DNWs, indicate your opt-ins, and sometimes link your Letters. If a request can't be matched to a creator, it becomes an initial pinch hit.

Optional Details: A section of your requests or offers, within your sign-up. It's a large text box, with a place to put optional details such as DNWs, likes, and occasionally your letters, if there isn't already a text box for that.

Offers: The section of your sign-up that contains the fandoms, characters, and tags you'd like to create a gift about. Don't offer for things that you aren't willing to write, as you're matched with a recipient based on what you offer.

Sign-ups: The second period of an exchange, where users actually create their Requests and Offers for the exchange. The group of your Offers and Requests is located in the Collection for the exchange, as a part of the sign-up.

Matching: The third period of an exchange, when everyone who signed up is assigned someone to write for, and someone else is assigned to write for them. Sometimes, not everyone can be matched, so some Requests will become pinch hits.

Assignment: The request that you were assigned to write during matching. You can find your assignment by going to your Dashboard, then clicking on "Assignments", or by clicking the "Hi, [Username]!" button and going to "My Assignments." When you click on your assignment from there, you will be shown all of your offers, and all of your recipient's requests. You do not have to fulfill every single request that your recipient asked for- just one of them.

Recip: Short for recipient. The person who is going to receive the fic that you write.

PH, Pinch Hit: Someone's requests, usually posted in a few groups as a part of an announcement wherever the exchange announcements go. If someone's request appears as a pinch hit, it either means that their creator has defaulted on their assignment, or if it appears at the start of an exchange, it can mean that their weren't able to be initially matched with a creator. Pinch Hits can be accepted by contacting the moderators of an exchange, which means you volunteer to write a work following the pinch hit requests in addition to the work you were initially assigned. Typically, exchanges allow anyone, even those who haven't signed up for the exchange, to take on pinch hits.

Treat: A bonus gift written for someone, which is in addition to the gift they receive as a part of the exchange.

Letter: An offsite link that provides more information about someone's requests. Can include details about specific prompts the requester would like to see, what they like about their fandoms, and other such details that might be too long to fit in the AO3 sign-up box. Usually optional. Some popular hosting places for letters are Dreamwidth, Google Docs, and Tumblr.

DNW: Stands for "Do Not Write" or "Do Not Want". DNWs are typically included in the sign-up process. They are usually enforced as part of an exchange's rules, but only if they're actually included within the sign-up and not within a letter.

Genfic: Refers to fanfiction that is not centered around a romantic or sexual ship.

Matchable/Unmatchable: If you're matchable, then the mod of the exchange can find a request from someone else that matches the offers in your signup. The amount and type of matching tags required to be matchable varies from exchange to exchange.

Opt-in/Opt-out: Refers to whether certain content should be allowed by default, or disallowed by default. DNWs are a form of "opting-out", as they allow you to list all the things you do not wish to receive. Some exchanges run sensitive content or certain fic types on an opt-in basis, such as noncon/dubcon, crossovers, and/or first-person POV, to say a few. Some exchanges have lists of "opt-ins", or content that should only be written if a user indicates that they would like to receive it.

ODAO: Stands for "Optional Details are Optional." When writing for your recipient, you do not have to follow all of their optional details. You do not have to fulfill all of their likes or opt-ins all at once, and you don't have to follow the prompts they might suggest. (Although, while DNWs are included in the "Optional Details" box, DNWs are usually enforced by an exchange's rules.)

Freeform: A tag that doesn't fit in the first three categories that AO3 outlines, those being Characters, Relationships, and Fandoms, so it goes in the last category: Additional Tags. These are used in exchanges to indicate a wide variety of things, including but not limited to: types of media you'd like to receive (such as art, writing, or podfic), what specific category from the exchange you'd like to receive (some exchanges divide fics into categories), or various other settings, such as whether you'd like to receive treats.

Disambig, Disambiguation: An indicator after a character's name, to indicate what media they're from. This is most often used when characters have common names that can appear across multiple fandoms, but some exchanges use disambigs for all characters. An example: Dracula (Castlevania: SOTN) vs Dracula (Dracula 1931)

Gaming for assignment: When you deliberately set up your sign-up so that you get assigned a certain request.

Bus pass: Refers to a work that fulfills all the requirements of a request, but isn't as polished as it could be, which is submitted to fulfill an assignment before the deadline. They're usually revised and updated before fics are revealed. It's called a 'bus pass' because the work is supposed to be a fic you could give to someone without polishing it, in the event that you were hit by a bus.

Defaulting: When you give up on writing your assignment, or don't finish your assignment before the deadline, you're considered to have defaulted on it. Consequences for defaulting vary depending on the exchange. If you need to default, go to your Assignments from your Dashboard, and press the "Default" button.

YKINMKATOK, Kink Tomato: Stands for "Your Kink is not My Kink and That's OK". Called "Kink Tomato" because the acronym looks vaguely like those two words.

CCOF, Creator's Choice Of Fandom: Sometimes nominated as a fandom for exchanges, which means the creator of the fic gets to choose what fandom to write the fic for. It's not always allowed, but sometimes it is. Usually an exchange will indicate if it's okay to nominate it.

Id, Iddy: Used to refers to fics that "indulge the id". The "id" refers to a term from Freudian psychology. In short, it's a theoretical part of the psyche that functions based on impulses and unconscious desires. "Iddy" fics are fics you find enjoyable for reasons you may not fully understand. Phrases that carry similar meaning include: a fic that "scratches your brain", one that "activates your neurons", or one that "makes you go feral".
