#rarewomen2014

Looking for women-positive and women-centric prompts to write fanfic for? Wanted to participate in Rarewomen 2014 but missed the deadline or weren’t up for a proper fic exchange?

You can now view all of the requests that were made for the challenge here, sorted by fandom or recipient. You can also access a spreadsheet with all of the author letters (sorted by fandoms!) for all of your treating needs.

In case it hasn’t been emphasized enough, treating is not only welcomed, but desperately encouraged. The main goal of this ficathon was always to generate more fanfic about the overlooked female characters, and treats certainly help with that. We’re leaving all the requests visible, so you are free to write as many fics of any length as you like. You do not have to be an official participant in order to write treats, so feel free to link the spreadsheet and requests around, if you think other people might be interested in writing you (or others) treats.

Since the sign-ups have closed, and matching is in progress, there’s no way to withdraw your sign-up at this point.  However, if you can send me your username, I can see if I can manually take you out of the assignments once they’re done.   Keep in mind, though, that with 150+ people, manually matching/rematching might not be possible. 

Rarewomen 2014 sign-ups are now open through AO3. They will run from now till March 2nd.

You can request three (3) to six (6) fandoms, with one (1) to ten (10) women each fandom. You will have to offer at least one (1) character (and can offer up to twenty (20)) in at least three (3) fandoms, and you can offer up to ten (10) fandoms. A list of nominated fandoms and characters is available here, from which you'll be asked to choose your offered/requested fandoms and characters.

Matching is also done via OR rather than AND, therefore listing many women opens you up to anyone who offered any one of them (rather than trying to find someone who listed them all).

Just a public service announcement to let everyone know that Rarewomen 2014 has started, and we'll begin taking nominations for this year's fest starting at midnight tonight, and they will run till Feb. 8th.

If you are new to the exchange, we are a 1k fic exchange centered the overlooked female characters in small and large fandoms.  Eligibility is determined based on the obscurity of the character, regardless of how large the fandom itself is.
