The First Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange

[trobadora]

Coming soon: the First Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange (hereafter known as the 520 Day Reverse Exchange)! This is a multimedia fanworks exchange for 镇魂 | Guardian fandom. Everyone is welcome to join in! :-)

What is 520 Day? 520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is like Valentine's Day. We thought an exchange would be a great way to celebrate the day!

520 Day Reverse Exchange General Concept

As the name suggests, this is a reverse exchange, also known as a Choose Your Writer/Artist/Fanwork Creator 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.

You can offer and/or request fanfic (including RPF), fanart, icons, vids, podfic, meta, a remix of an existing fanwork, or fanart for an existing fanwork. Or any combination of the above!

Hopefully this means you get an assignment that fits you like a glove, and just the gift fanwork you’re looking for -- maybe even from one of your favourite authors, artists or creators!

(Many thanks to reversathon for letting us adopt their format.)

Oh, that's a shame about you being away all that time! No chance you can be online for a bit from your trip?

Anyway, yes, unless this miraculously goes completely different from literally every other exchange ever, we'll definitely need some pinch-hitters, so it's great to know you'd be available. ♥

I can probably be online, but as this would be my first-ever exchange (!) and I've never even seen a reverse one done before I'd want to make sure I had it all figured out and a good "ad" written? And that might take more time than I have those days. But if I fail to get something done in time, I'd definitely be around for pinch hits. ♥

If you can check shortly after sign-ups open, you can look at the sign-up form and think about it for a few days? Fingers crossed you can manage! But if not, pinch-hitting is very much appreciated. (Very, very much!)

Hey, just wanted to let you know sign-ups are open now, in case you have time to check them out. :)

Thank you so much for the notice!
