mcyt women exchange!

Hello wonderful people! I am announcing the MCYT Women Exchange, a fic/art exchange focused on creating fanworks focusing on the wonderful women creators of MCYT and by extension, their characters.

This is an all ages exchange with an optional 18+ opt in. Minimum is a fic of 1,000 words or an art piece with clean linework on unlined paper (or digital equivalent).

This exchange will allow works focused on both creators and characters (or both if you wanna get a little funky with it!), including solo, relationships classified as f/f(/f etc.), and friendships classified as f&f(&f etc.). Any other characters/relationships are welcome to be included as long as the primary focus is the women!

Nominations of nonbinary creators and their characters will be looked at on a case by case basis with discussion open for the community to provide context. While some nonbinary people may use woman as one word to describe themselves, others may not.

Since the idea of this exchange is rooted in bringing the women of MCYT behind our favorite characters into the spotlight for a change, I ask you to please consider irl creator identities rather than headcanons when nominating, and just use your best judgment! You can send an ask/submission to this blog, or comment on the Dreamwidth nomination guidelines to provide info about a nomination.
