Hi! This looks great. Thanks for running it!

One question - should I be nominating Transformers pairings under Transformers - All Media Types, with disambiguations on individual ships as necessary, or as individual series? There's a lot of series that share basic plot and character archetypes, but not much else, including continuity; if you're familiar with Power Rangers, it's kind of like that. Going the AMT route has the advantage of only needing one fandom slot, but nominating by individual fandom can make Any offers easier, depending on how many relationships are involved. (Given the dearth of female characters, though, I suspect having too many relationships for Any won't be much of a problem for this exchange.)

[fangirlism]

I'm going to say to go as indivual series.

Are OT3s allowed? I looked around and didn't see it listed in the rules.

[fangirlism]

Sorry, but I'm limiting it to OTPs only, it's stated in the previous post where I announced nominations were open.

[bonnefois]

No problem. I came linked from another post, so I missed that one. I was just trying to figure out what was allowed. :) Thanks for the clarification.

I have a question! You said: "Requests and offers will contain a minimum of 3 fandoms and a maximum of 6, with 1 to 3 relationships in each fandom."

But we can nominate 5 pairings in each fandom. Is that intentional -- we can nominate 5 pairings but only request 3 of them? And likewise, only offer 3 of them?

[evensteven]

Oh no! D: I want to be able to request and offer all my nominations! Hopefully that was a typo... Mod? May you change that?

Sorry, another question:

"The pairing doesn't have to stay together endgame, but does have to be together at some point in the story."

Does this mean no requesting or writing one-sided or unrequited love/attraction?

[sirvalkyrie]

Is it possible to increase the max amount of relationships for offers?

[(Anonymous)]

Is requesting friends-with-benefits allowed, or a relationship that starts as friends-with-benefits? Or does it have to be entirely romantic?

[fangirlism]

That would be allowed

[queenmidalah]

Will we have the ability to fulfill our assignments more than once so that we have the ability to answer each of the requests or do we need to pick one request to complete?

[fangirlism]

Only one fic can be used to fulfill the assignment (that's an AO3 thing and true of any gift exchange) but you are more than welcome to submit any other fics your recipient's prompts inspire you to write as treats.
