520 Day Reverse Exchange: 2022 round coming soon!

[trobadora]

The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2022!

520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is a bit like Valentine's Day, and for the fourth year running, we're celebrating. As the name says, this is a reverse exchange: instead of making your request and that request being assigned to a writer/artist/fanwork creator, here:

1. You sign up with the kinds of things you enjoy creating.
2. You choose three writers/artists/fanwork creators based on anonymised ads.
3. You make a request of each of them based on what they enjoy creating.
4. You are assigned one request to create for, based on your offer.
5. You receive a gift from one of the creators you chose.

(An updated rules/info post will go up before sign-ups open, but here is last year's for reference.)

This year's schedule

Sign-ups part 1 - offers: Saturday 19 March - Friday 25 March
Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 26 March - Friday 01 April
Matching: Saturday 02 April - Tuesday 05 April
Assignments out: Wednesday 06 April at the latest
Deadline: Friday 13 May
Work reveals: Friday 20 May (there is no anon period)

(the "oh I forgot about--" is real ^^;;)

Haha, absolutely! :-)

Can I ask how fast offers got three requests and vanishing from the doc last year?

Oh, honestly I can't remember, sorry. There does tend to be a bit of a rush at the beginning, but I think there was at least a 24 hour window before things started to thin out too much, and it might have been a little longer.

ah, that's okay! So much happened last year it's okay that you don't remember!
A 24 hour window certainly sounds like enough time to me, and as long as there are a few drama offers to pick from I can probably find something that suits me. I just get nervous!!

I understand! First time playing in a new format is always a little uncertain. <3 <3 <3
