520 Day Reverse Exchange: 2023 round coming soon!

[trobadora]

The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2023!

520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is a bit like Valentine's Day. To celebrate, we’re back with the fifth annual 520 Day Reverse Exchange. 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 18 March - Friday 24 March
Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 25 March - Friday 31 March
Matching: Saturday 01 April - Tuesday 04 April
Assignments out: Wednesday 05 April at the latest
Deadline: Saturday 13 May
Work reveals: Saturday 20 May (there is no anon period)

[china_shop]

Don't panic! It's probably best to wait until sign-ups open anyway, and we'll have promo text and images up soon that you can use or adapt. (Seriously, we're so grateful for people spreading the word, but please don't stress about it! ♥)

[trobadora]

Like china says, don't worry! *hugs* We'll have promo stuff you can use soon, and if you want to post something before that, just mentioning that the exchange is coming soon would already be great! ♥

[lunarriviera]

i did it! thank you both for the reassurance, not sure why i got the last-minute yips lol (and i will post again on tumblr when there's more promo stuff):
