*How do assignment swaps work? This exchange allows you to trade in your current assignment for a different one. This is intended as a safety net. Maybe you tried a new fandom to match a request and it didn't work out. Maybe you matched on something safe, but fell in love with something else after assignments went out. Whether you can swap to the new assignment of your choice will depend on several factors, including whether several other people are already creating for it. You can ask for any other assignment before September 21. Between September 21, 2025, and the main deadline of January 24, 2026, you can still trade in the assignment you hold for another one, but only if the one you want is listed as a pinch hit.
If you're writing a letter, I recommend you finish it during sign-ups so that your assigned creator can use it right away, but that doesn't always happen. So there's a hard deadline: please complete any linked letters by September 21; if you are matched to a recipient whose letter is incomplete after September 21, you are welcome to ask to swap to any other recipient throughout the exchange.
**What is Check-In Week? This is when you contact the mod on a check-in post at this community to confirm that you are committed to fulfilling your assignment(s). If you do not check in, you will be defaulted.
FFFX follows the pattern of many other Archive-of-Our-Own-based multifandom exchanges. The pool of available fandoms is created by nominations (eight fandoms, with six characters or relationships each, per person, with selective additions possible during sign-ups). When signing up, you can offer and request as few as four fandoms (one for offers), with one character or relationship in each, or as many as ten fandoms, with ten relationships in each. You will match on one of those characters or relationships (OR matching). FFFX allows original works prompts. FFFX does not match on freeform tags or rating.
Because this is an exchange for long works and many creators like to have something to go on, you must fill out your AO3 requests with your choice of the following: prompts, or notes on what appeals to you about a fandom, or general likes, or some combination of these.
Fandom promotion posts and guides to where your canon can be found are encouraged.
The mod can be reached at mod.modzilla@gmail.com as well as through this Dreamwidth community.
