What is the 520 Day Reverse Exchange?

General info/rules/schedule post
Feel free to ask questions there if anything isn't clear.

How do I sign up?

You will find the sign-up form below (behind the cut on this post). Fill in something for each point, giving as much info as you like. All comments are screened.

Please read this post fully before you sign up. You will need to check back at this community next week to make your requests. This sign-up form is just the first step.

Sign-ups are open until 11:59pm UTC on Friday 27 March 2020. (What time is that for me?)

What happens next?

On Saturday 28th March, mods post the info from the sign-up forms as anonymous participant ads on this comm.

You choose 3 ads from the list and make a request for each. (We'll remove each ad from the list when we've received 3 requests for that offer.)

Mods assign one of your requests to the relevant writer/artist/creator.

You receive one request made for your offer. This is your assignment.
