Hikago Rare Pair Exchange signups are open!

[mmmdraco]

I'm going ahead and opening up the sign-ups for this a day early since there have been no nominations for days.

Running until the 31st of May, signups are now open. You can check the available pairings here. You can request and offer 3-5 pairings, or select “any” for your options. You have the option of linking to a page of your tumblr/LJ/DW that details your desires, or of just jotting those down with your request.

You can send me asks here on tumblr with questions, or email me at mmmdraco @ gmail . com, or just ask them here.

SIGN UP HERE!

Not the mod of the exchange; but I love exchanges so I'll just add my 2 cents on the writing your prompts bit. :3

With a lot of these exchanges what some writers like to do is "treat" that is, find additional prompts that tickle their fancy - it's a rare pairing fest so taking the opportunity to celebrate as many as possible is a good thing! So this is why I recommend making a blog post as well!



But in order to find your letter, your writer's often going to be going to their assignments page in Ao3 rather than to your blog directly, so to make it easier for them to have a quick reference it's a good idea to have something there as well.


What I usually do is leave a couple of quick prompts in the Ao3 form, and then repeat those prompts in my letter + give meta background as to why I like that fandom (for multifandom fests when I have time - my writer may know only one fandom but this gives them incentive to check out other fandoms of mine too!) or pairing/character, and also provide a link to my more or less masterlist of general likes/dislikes which may not be appropriate / something I think of for a specific pairing/character prompt but can give my writer an overall idea of my tastes. (I am lazy though, many writers do a brand new letter each time and copy paste their likes/dislikes).


As for the what your willing to write it's going to be dependent on how mmmdraco decides to mod, but to be honest I wouldn't put that in your blog I'd put it on the Ao3 posts as the only person it's going to be relevant to is mmmdraco - your recipient isn't going to see it and I'm pretty sure she's not going to have time checking each blog post individually, only looking at the overall sign ups and there aren't any specific disasters like someone having no one willing to write for their pairings or you being assigned a pairing you didn't volunteer for. ^.^;;
