520 Day Reverse Exchange: 2025 round coming soon!

[trobadora]

The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2025!

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 seventh 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
ETA: everything's ready, so we decided to open sign-ups early and have a longer sign-up period. Hopefully this means more people will have a chance to hear about the exchange and sign up!

Sign-ups part 1 - offers: Saturday 22 Sunday 16 March - Friday 28 March
Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 29 March - Friday 4 April
Matching: Saturday 5 April - Tuesday 8 April
Assignments out: Wednesday 9 April at the latest
Deadline: Tuesday 13 May
Work reveals: Tuesday 20 May (there is no anon period)
