Welcome everyone who's signed up so far! Yes you can still add fandoms to the tag set - please just keep in mind that if you add them very close to the end of sign-ups, you'll need my help to add them to your sign-up after the sign-up window closes, & also no one will know to offer them. So, the sooner the better.

Sign-ups will close at 11:59pm on Saturday 20 June in EDT.

Please check your sign-up for these things

• No two fandoms appear together in a request unless you're happy with a gift that combines JUST those two. If you put two different versions or adaptations of a canon into the same request, are you okay with receiving just those canons? For example: A Song of Ice & Fire books x Game of Thrones, or Project Hail Mary book x Project Hail Mary movie. It's fine if you want something meta about the two versions of characters meeting each other, but if not, please put them in separate requests only. Any questions? Please ask! I suggest that if you do want combinations like this, please say so explicitly so your creator feels confident to create for them. Similarly, a request that includes 3 different fandoms means means you're happy with however they could be combined - rather than only wanting AxB and AxC but not BxC.


• You're requesting at least 5 different fandom combinations. You need to request at least 5 unique combinations. (AxB and AxC are two unique combinations. A request including A, B, C, and D has 6 total unique combinations.)


• Your combinations aren't set up so that a gift for you requires the inclusion of ONE specific fandom. If all of your requests are your favourite canon + one other canon only, please also choose another combination somewhere - that is, if there's a specific canon that MUST appear in a gift for you, I need you to add more options, sorry.

Thanks for your help and your enthusiasm!

2026 sign-ups are open at AO3!

The basics

• You need an AO3 account. You can request an invite here, or contact the mod directly.


• One sign-up only per person.


• If there are things that would ruin a gift for you, please enter them in the sign-up form, in the "Do-Not-Wants and Optional Details" field, as Do Not Wants or DNWs.


• You can write prompts, if you want, but you don't have to. You can link to a longer document, a "letter", with more information about your prompts and preferences, if you want, but you don't have to. Letter links can't be added after sign-ups end. If writing a letter, please try to complete it by the time assignments go out. The preferences in your optional details can include characters and relationships, but your creator isn't bound by them - please do not request fandoms where you are only interested in a very small subset of the characters or the worldbuilding.


• You can organize your requests according to whether you'd like art or fic or both, and crossovers or fusions or both. Each request and offer must include at least one of the tags Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion, Art/Crossover, and Fic/Crossover. Crossovers and fusions are defined at the collection.


• You must sign up with 3 (min) to 10 (max) requests, and 1 (min) to 10 (max) offers.


• Not everyone can receive treats, so please note in your optional details if treats are welcome or if you have disabled them.


• You can use the "Notes to Mod" field to tell me more about your matching preferences, or you can leave that blank. You can ask to avoid other people ("Do Not Match" requests). Please don't tell me why you wish to avoid any person. Please do tell me whether you would prefer not to receive a pinch hit or treat from a person you don't want to match with. I can't honour all preferences; if I need to read someone's optional details or Do-Not-Wants to figure out if they're compatible with your matching preferences, that's too specific, sorry. If you have blocked any other participants, you can still be assigned to receive from or create for them, so consider asking not to match to them.

How to combine fandoms, and making sure you have enough combinations

• Each of your requests and offers needs to include 2-10 fandom tags from the tag set.


• Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom tags.


• Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom combinations. (That is: Harry Potter and John Wick is one combination. A request for Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and John Wick includes 3 different fandom combinations: HPxB, BxJW, HPxJW. A request with four fandom tags in it gives 6 possible combinations)


• Your combinations cannot all require knowledge of your one favourite fandom. Ie, the five requests AxB, AxC, AxD, AxE, and AxF would all require your creator to know fandom A. You would need at least one other request that doesn't include fandom A.


• Don't put fandoms into the same request or offer if you aren't interested in all the combinations they could make. For example, if you want Harry Potter and Buffy, and also Harry Potter and John Wick, but you don't want Buffy and John Wick, putting those three in the same request would be a bad idea. In that case, put John Wick and Buffy in two different request slots and put Harry Potter in both.


• This point has been edited! - Don't put fandoms into the same request if the combination they make wouldn't create a crossover. If you do put closely-related canons into the same request, your creator could match on them, so only do that if the combination would be unusual and you're excited about the result! Examples:
  • If you put Captain America movies in the same request as Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's up to your creator what other part of the MCU to combine with Cap's movies
  
  
  • If you put Mo Dao Zu Shi in the same request as The Untamed, you're asking your creator to make a work in which the characters from the two story versions interact with each other.

"Any Other Fandom" tags

This is a BONUS wildcard system that may make it easier for you to cover all the fandom combinations you are interested in receiving. It is an optional extra: ignore it completely if you want. If you aren't interested, just don't select the "Any Other Fandom" tags.

If interested, here's how it works.

-In one of your requests, select a fandom from the tagset and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026". This means that your creator can combine that fandom with any* fandom you've ticked in any of your other requests.

-Or, in one of your requests, select "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026" and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)". This is using tags to say "Any* possible 2-fandom combination is welcome as long as both fandoms appear somewhere in my requests this year".

*EXCEPTION - this does not include the Creator's Choice of Fandom tag. 'Other' fandom means a tag that describes a specific set of media. If you want to include Creator's Choice of Fandom in a wildcard request, select that tag in the request.

Some examples

Normal sign-up
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Murderbot (TV), Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, All For The Game - Nora Sakavic, Babylon 5 (TV)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: SCP Foundation, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Our Flag Means Death (TV)
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chronicles of Narnia, Spider-Man: Spider-Verse (Sony Animated Movies)


Here I could get a crossover between Babylon 5 and Vorkosigan Saga, but if I got a fusion between Black Jewels and All for the Game, it would not fulfil my request.

This set-up also means that I am prompting for multiple fusions with the Chronicles of Narnia. Keeping requests 3 and 4 separate is different to putting all of these fandoms in the same request - if I did that, I might get Spider-Man and Our Flag Means Death. (No shade or judgment if you think that would be great! This is purely an example.)

Using Any Other Fandom tags
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Old Guard
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chess (Musical), Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026

This could save time because if a creator likes the musical Chess, they can combine that with any other fandom in the requests. (Only by writing a fic fusion, though).


Using Any Other Fandom tags - both of them
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Lords of Derkholm, The Old Guard, Chess (Musical)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Creator's Choice of Fandom
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026, Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)

In this case, Request 4 means I could get a fusion story between Utena and the Old Guard, Black Jewels and Narnia, or Chess (Musical) and Pern. Anything's fair game. No combination is excluded - EXCEPT Creator's Choice of Fandom. In the set above, Creator's Choice of Fandom can be combined only with Narnia or Utena.


This is the only way "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)" should be selected in your requests. It should appear as the second fandom with "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2026" as the first fandom. You can optionally add Creator's Choice of Fandom here, but please do not add any other fandom tags to this request.

Please feel free to ask if you have questions!

More tag set notes
When looking through the tag set, please keep in mind the Uncategorized fandoms in the tag set. Some of these may be fandoms you've never heard of - but some of them may just be sub-groupings of a fandom you know.

The tag set is also re-opened to allow additional nominations of 3 fandoms per person - please limit this to things you want to request. The tag set will close again within 24 hours of sign-ups closing.


App!
As sign-ups progress, karanguni's app may make it easier to find requests by fandom. This is updated on request and will say when it was last updated.


Sign-ups will end at 11:59pm EDT on 20 June.


Changes this year

• I've clarified the way Creator's Choice of Fandom interacts with other wildcard tags.


• No AI: I already had a rule barring the use of artificial "AI" generative tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and so on. However, since their use has spread wider in fandom, I want to emphasize that rule and have expanded on this topic in the FAQ. This is a developing topic in exchange space so I wanted to give clarity about my approach during sign-ups.

RPF: Aaron Taylor Johnson - Sorry, the inclusion of some RPF canons is negotiable, but I don't think it works for this exchange's goal of combining universes to treat a single character/person as a canon. Please pick something else.

In Memoria Adytum (SCP Foundation Canon) - I'm not quite sure what an SCP Foundation Canon is, or what's included in it. Could anyone who knows give me a little more information please?

X-Men - Chris Claremont First Run - A distinct run of comics seems like a canon that could work for these purposes, but are there specific dates or issue numbers involved? What does Claremont's first run cover please?

Works were revealed a few days ago at the collection. I hope you enjoy the fic and art! Please comment widely on works you enjoy! Comments are also required in most circumstances on gifts you received.

The collection remains open for treats.

Works are anonymous until 5pm EDT November 8. Please keep up the mystery of who drew or wrote what until then. If you want to reply to comments on your work, you can do so logged in and will show up (until November 8) as "Anonymous Creator".

As I'm still seeking a pinch hitter and others are working, I'm announcing a collection delay: Crossworks will now aim to open at 5pm EDT on Thursday 30 October.

If you can, please help with the pinch hit below. It is due on 11:59pm EDT, Wednesday 29 October.

2025 sign-ups are open at AO3!

The basics

• You need an AO3 account. You can request an invite here, or contact the mod directly.


• One sign-up only per person.


• If there are things that would ruin a gift for you, please enter them in the sign-up form, in the "Do-Not-Wants and Optional Details" field, as Do Not Wants or DNWs.


• You can write prompts, if you want, but you don't have to. You can link to a longer document, a "letter", with more information about your prompts and preferences, if you want, but you don't have to. Letter links can't be added after sign-ups end. If writing a letter, please try to complete it by the time assignments go out. The preferences in your optional details can include characters and relationships, but your creator isn't bound by them - please do not request fandoms where you are only interested in a very small subset of the characters or the worldbuilding.


• You can organize your requests according to whether you'd like art or fic or both, and crossovers or fusions or both. Each request and offer must include at least one of the tags Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion, Art/Crossover, and Fic/Crossover. Crossovers and fusions are defined at the collection.


• You must sign up with 3 (min) to 10 (max) requests, and 1 (min) to 10 (max) offers.


• Not everyone can receive treats, so please note in your optional details if treats are welcome or if you have disabled them.


• You can use the "Notes to Mod" field to tell me more about your matching preferences, or you can leave that blank. You can ask to avoid other people ("Do Not Match" requests). Please don't tell me why you wish to avoid any person. Please do tell me whether you would prefer not to receive a pinch hit or treat from a person you don't want to match with. I can't honour all preferences; if I need to read someone's optional details or Do-Not-Wants to figure out if they're compatible with your matching preferences, that's too specific, sorry. If you have blocked any other participants, you can still be assigned to receive from or create for them, so consider asking not to match to them.

How to combine fandoms, and making sure you have enough combinations

• Each of your requests and offers needs to include 2-10 fandom tags from the tag set.


• Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom tags.


• Your requests (in total) must include at least 5 different fandom combinations. (That is: Harry Potter and John Wick is one combination. A request for Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and John Wick includes 3 different fandom combinations: HPxB, BxJW, HPxJW.)


• Your combinations cannot all require knowledge of your one favourite fandom. Ie, the five requests AxB, AxC, AxD, AxE, and AxF would all require your creator to know fandom A. You would need at least one other request that doesn't include fandom A.


• Don't put fandoms into the same request or offer if you aren't interested in all the combinations they could make. For example, if you want Harry Potter and Buffy, and also Harry Potter and John Wick, but you don't want Buffy and John Wick, putting those three in the same request would be a bad idea because your creator could have offered Buffy and John Wick but not Harry Potter. In that case, put John Wick and Buffy in two different request slots and put Harry Potter in both.


• Don't put fandoms into the same request if the combination they make wouldn't create a fusion or crossover. Examples:
  • Don't put Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet in the same request as the Lioness quartet - these are subseries of the same world with shared characters and settings
  
  
  • Don't put Captain America movies in the same request as Marvel Cinematic Universe, since the Captain America movies are a subset of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
  
  
  • Don't put Mo Dao Zu Shi in the same request as The Untamed, since one is an adaptation of the other
  
  
  • It's fine to combine similar fandoms in this way in your offers, just not in requests.

"Any Other Fandom" tags

This is a BONUS wildcard system that may make it easier for you to cover all the fandom combinations you are interested in receiving. It is an optional extra: ignore it completely if you want. If you aren't interested, just don't select the "Any Other Fandom" tags.

If interested, here's how it works.

-In one of your requests, select a fandom from the tagset and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025". This means that your creator can combine that fandom with any fandom you've ticked in any of your other requests.

-Or, in one of your requests, select "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025" and "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)". This is using tags to say "Absolutely any possible 2-fandom combination is welcome as long as both fandoms appear somewhere in my requests this year".

Some examples

Normal sign-up
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Murderbot (TV), Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, All For The Game - Nora Sakavic, Babylon 5 (T)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Horus Heresy - Various Authors, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Our Flag Means Death (TV)
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chronicles of Narnia, Moby Dick
Request 5: Fic/Fusion: Chronicles of Narnia, Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse,

Here I could get a crossover between Babylon 5 and Vorkosigan Saga, but if I got a fusion between Black Jewels and All for the Game, it would not fulfil my request.

This set-up also means that I am prompting for multiple fusions with the Chronicles of Narnia. Keeping requests 3, 4, and 5 separate is different to putting all of these fandoms in the same request - if I did that, I might get Moby Dick and Our Flag Means Death. (No shade or judgment if you think that would be great! This is purely an example.)

Using Any Other Fandom tags
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Lords of Derkholm, The Old Guard
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Chess (Musical), Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025

This could save time because if a creator likes the musical Chess, they can combine that with any other fandom in the requests. (Only by writing a fic fusion, though).


Using Any Other Fandom tags - both of them
Request 1: Fic/Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Lords of Derkholm, The Old Guard, Chess (Musical)
Request 2: Art/Fusion, Fic/Fusion: Dragonriders of Pern, The Hunger Games, Black Jewels
Request 3: Art/Fusion, Chronicles of Narnia, Revolutionary Girl Utena
Request 4: Fic/Fusion: Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025, Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)

In this case, Request 4 means I could get a fusion story between Utena and the Old Guard, Black Jewels and Narnia, or Chess (Musical) and Pern. Anything's fair game. No combination is excluded.


This is the only way "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025 (Select Only In Combo With AOF Tag & No Other Fandoms)" should be selected in your requests. It should appear as the second fandom with "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025" as the first fandom, and there should not be a third fandom in that request.

If using "Any Other Fandom I've Requested in CW2025", please list out what those fandoms are in the optional details of the request where you have selected this tag. This helps creators check they're combining the right fandoms.

Please feel free to ask if you have questions!

More tag set notes
When looking through the tag set, please keep in mind the Uncategorized fandoms in the tag set. Some of these may be fandoms you've never heard of - but some of them may just be sub-groupings of a fandom you know.

I will re-open the tag set tomorrow to allow additional nominations of 2 fandoms per person - please limit this to things you want to request. The tag set will close again within 48 hours of sign-ups closing.


App!
As sign-ups progress, karanguni's app may make it easier to find requests by fandom. This is updated on request and will say when it was last updated.


Sign-ups will end at 11:59pm EDT on 21 August.

Nominations are scheduled to close at 8 August, 11:59pm EDT, but probably won't close on the dot as I have some scheduling conflicts today. Thanks for everyone's nominations!

Please only nominate "All Media Types" and "And Related Fandoms" tags if (as requester) you are OK with a creator using lore/characters from a wide range of parts of the franchise, or (as creator) you are confident in offering across a similar wide range. It's fine to have both a large umbrella part of a franchise and a smaller subset part of a franchise, both in the tag set.

Thanks for everyone's nominations, they're sparking amazing ideas already!
