Exchange Requirements

Every participant is required to create a fanwork featuring a requested character or relationship that fulfills the requested category in the requested medium.
Fanfic requirements: A completed work with a minimum of 1500 words.
Fanart requirements: A clean sketch on unlined paper.

Anonymity: Please refrain from discussing your assignment in public/namespace until creators are revealed. Creators may not include any identifying information in their fanwork, with exceptions for artists, who may sign their work.

Pinch Hits: If you are unable to complete your assignment for whatever reason, please default as early as possible so mods may arrange a pinch hitter.

Pinch hits will be posted to the DW community as well as in the Universe 6 discord.

FAQ

Are treats allowed?
In short, yes! Treats are additional fanworks gifted to participants who are not your recipient. Treats are allowed and they can be of any length but you still must match on character, medium, and category, and all treats must respect DNWs. If you do not wish to receive treats and/or you do not have treating enabled in your AO3 preferences, you must clearly state this in your signup. To enable treats, click here (substituting your username):
https://archiveofourown.org/users/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/preferences
Check the box next to 'Allow anyone to gift me works'.

Is this just for romantic or sexual ships (/) or are platonic ships (&) allowed too?
This exchange allows all ships!
