520 Day Reverse Exchange: 2023 round coming soon!

Guardian Reverse Exchange 2023. Shen Wei slides a blackboard to reveal the text: 520 Day Reverse Exchange 2023


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)
