Characters, Relationships & Tagsets
Hello everyone we are almost at the 24 hour mark prior to opening of sign ups!! We will post tomorrow the instructions on how to sign up specifically so stay tuned!
To help ease the process, please read the below if you are planning to sign up.
This exchange is mainly being run on the Archive of Our Own (AO3). This means that in order to sign up you must have an AO3 account. If you would like to sign up and do not have an AO3 account, please email [email protected] and we will send you an invite.
The AO3 Collection for the Exchange is here.
In order to better organize the collection and make the matching process easier, the exchange is linked to the following Tag Set. Also due to the anticipated size of the exchange, we are not having a dedicated nominations period, because of that please see below to make sure that you will be able to request and offer things you want to request.
The minimum requirement to sign up is to request and offer at least two characters from the linked tag set. You will only be able to request and offer characters that are included in the tag set. We have endeavored to add pretty much every named character that appeared in either the Mighty Ducks Trilogy and Mighty Ducks Game Changers. If there is a character you would like to request and/or offer please contact us and we will add them. Please be advised that only characters who have appeared in either the movies and or Mighty Ducks Game Changers will be added to the tag set.
If you would like to request or offer to write general team fics, you can nominate groups as characters. Right now you do have the ability to ask for The Ducks as a whole group and the Don't Bothers as group as well. Those will count as a singular character for the purposed of the requests.
Please be advised that while you will be free to request to write fic focused on a Reader and or Original Characters, you will not be able to request them specifically in the characters field, and will not be added to the tag set.
In addition to requesting and offering characters, you will be able to request specific relationships as well. You are not required to request or offer to write any specific relationship. However if you would like a story focused on any relationship, we suggest you add them as a request. We also required that all relationships requested and offered only include characters listed in the tag set. If you request a relationship involving a character not in the tag set your sign up will be edited to remove that relationship.
Because the number of possible relationships that can be formed, relationships are not automatically included in the tag set. You will be able to request and offer any relationship that already has an existing tag on AO3. If you want to request a relationship that does not have a pre-existing tag on AO3 you will need to ask us to add it to the tag set.
We will be adding to the tag set up to the close of sign ups and sign ups will not be closed until all requests to add to the tag set are resolved, that said please put in these requests as soon as possible. (See below about how to do this)
The best way to tell if a relationship has a tag is to search the relationship (formatted as "Character A/Character B" or "Character A & Character B") on AO3 and if no fics turn up, please contact us to add it to the tag set. If fics do turn up then there is no need and you will be free to request the relationship. Also tags that are already in AO3 or the tagset will be automatically suggested in the Relationships field.
Generally, due to the newness if you want to request any relationship specific to or involving characters exclusive to Game Changers you will most likely need to ask us to add the relationship to the tag set. However if the relationship only involves original trilogy characters, we ask you to check before requesting relationships to be added.
You can request all sorts of type of relationships as long they involve the characters of TMD & TMDGC. If you want a focus on a romantic and/or sexual relationship please use the "/" and use the "&" for all non-romantic and/or sexual relationships. Please use the standard format of ships for AO3 which is generally listing each character in alphabetical order using the appropriate connector for the type of relationship you would like to request. Do not use ship names.
If you would like to request a character or relationship be added to the tag set please send an email to [email protected] or ask (Not Both, please choose one or the other). We ask that you send only one email or ask with all the characters and relationships you want added. To make things easier for us please start the ask or put in the subject line "Please add the following to the tag set" and then list characters and relationships you would like added. We will respond to confirm once they are added and you are clear to use them in your sign up.
If the character is already in the tag set or the relationship already has an established tag on AO3 you do not need to request they be added to the tag set.
