We have three pinch hits remaining, due 10/19 at midnight ET, so that we can open the collection on time this weekend and get to reading all the great crossovers and fusions! Details on the links below. To claim without joining the pinch hit list, send an email to crossoveringmods on gmail with the number and your AO3 name.

If you can’t take one of these pinch hits, maybe someone you know can! Feel free to signal boost on Tumblr or share with friends on Discord or Twitter.

The AO3 collection will close at 8pm ET on 10/14! That's about an hour from now, so get those last assignments in :)

The 2018 Crossovering AO3 collection will close at noon Eastern time today, 10/14! Last chance to get your completed work posted!

Remember to sign up for the pinch hit list if you haven't already. Pinch hits will go out after the collection closes and be due on 10/19. We will not reveal the collection until all participants in the exchange have a story or art in the collection in return. Hopefully that will be on 10/20 as scheduled, but may be later if pinch hits are not completed and posted on time.

Please let us know via PM or email if you need anything! If you've already reached out to us, we will follow up with you after the collection closes, if we haven't already.

Crossovering 2018 stories and art are due 10/13 @ midnight Pacific time! (How much longer is that?)

You can post your stories and art to the AO3 collection here.

Please also sign up for the pinch hit list if you haven't already. There's always a possiblity of a few last-minute pinch hits being needed. We will not reveal the collection until every participant has a gift, so please keep an eye out for a prompt you might be able to fill!

Please let us know via PM or email if you need anything. Can't wait to see what everyone's created!

Thank you all for your patience, especially to those who helped us make adjustments in order to complete matching! Assignments will be going out from AO3 shortly.

The new calendar for the rest of the exchange is as follows. We will update this wherever it appears on the comm, Tumblr, and AO3 as soon as possible.

Assignments sent: September 2
Assignments due: October 13
Final pinch hits due: October 20
Archive goes live: October 21
Authors revealed: October 28

Unfortunately, as with every year, we do have a few recipients who were unable to be matched with a creator. Those will be going out via the pinch hit list once assignments have been sent this evening. You can sign up for the pinch hit list here.

The fandoms for these initial pinch hits can also be found ( under the cut )

Thanks to everyone who has signed up already for Crossovering 2018! We’re going to start running matching and will be in touch if there are any issues.

Quick update! We're going to keep sign-ups open through the weekend, so they will now close on 8/26 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.

Signups open a little over an hour! That's a perfect amount of time to start sharing your Dear Crossovering Creator Letters!

These letters are 100% optional but highly encouraged (particularly due to the nature of this exchange). If you've never participated in an exchange like this before, a Dear Creator Letter is a post at your DW or Tumblr, etc. detailing your requests and giving your assigned creator ideas for possible art or fic. These letters also include your likes, dislikes, and any triggers you might have. You can link them here, as well as in your sign-up form. How you format or write them is entirely up to you.

If you have any triggers (things that may cause you harm if you read about them), we highly recommend that you make that clear in your letter as well as in the optional details on your signup. Not every participant clicks through to letters, and this is the best way to cover your bases so that your creator will not unintentionally use your triggers.

For more info and great examples of what we mean check out the following links: The Yuletide FAQ or letters from previous years.

Keep in mind that letters are completely optional, which also means that creators are in no way required to follow the optional details. The only requirements are that they use the fandoms you matched on and that they respect your DNWs. Essentially: Optional details are optional. However, works intentionally including the recipient's stated triggers will be removed from the collection and the creator may be barred from future participation at modly discretion.

If you are posting a link to your letter here, we ask that you copy/paste the following when you comment:
