FAQ:
Can I nominate historical RPF as a legend in the freeform tags?
Historical figures would only be accepted as a freeform tag if they're associated with a legend/myth/fairy tale, such as King Arthur. However, you can request historical figures as a fandom/relationship.
Can I nominate an anthology or collection of unrelated stories as a freeform tag?
Sure!
Can I write a completely original myth, legend, fairy tale or fable that still features my recipient's requested fandom and relationship?
As long your work contains one of their freeform tags, you can create an entirely otherwise original story.
You rejected ___________ as a tag. Can I explain why I think it should be approved?
Please do!
Can I nominate a tall tale or a traditional ballad as a freeform tag?
Sure, so long as it fits within the scope of a fairy tale, fable, myth or legend.
Can I recommend a fairy tale/fable/myth/legend to fellow exchange participants?
Sure! Right here.
Can I nominate a character instead of a relationship?
While you still have to nominate within the relationships slots, you can nominate [character name] & Any (Disambig) or [character name] & None (Disambig).
How can I contact a moderator to discuss something privately, request an extension, or ask my recipient a question?
You can e-mail [email protected].

Date: 2022-04-30 06:06 am (UTC)As long as we request/offer the minimum number of different fandoms and tags, are we allowed to nominate fandoms more than once? For example, to request completely different freeform tags for the same pairing, or to request different pairings within a fandom combined with different freeform tags more suited to them?
