a couple more fests (you can still sign up if you move fast)
Here are 2 interesting fanwork games that I missed for some reason, but which some of you have posted about recently. Neither happens to have any of my personal best-beloved fandoms nominated, but perhaps they do yours:

"Little Black Dress is a ship-based multifandom exchange premised on creating fanworks for 'Little Black Dress' characters, which is to say, characters who 'go with anything.' In an exchange context, this means characters you ship with anyone. ... you request only characters, and it's up to your recipient to select which ship they would like to write from your requested canon."
Sign-ups close 24 May. Stories are due 7 July.
They do permit up to 3 Do Not Want matches per character requested (for example, if FK were nominated, I could request Nick and then DNW Lacroix, Schanke, and Tracy), and separately category DNWs that don't count against the 3 total (for example, I could use a category DNW to exclude Divia, Jenny, Lisa, etc.; and then another category DNW to exclude Fleur, Andre, etc.). This would leave my writer free to match Nick with any other recurring or one-shot character.

"Just Married is a marriage-themed multifandom exchange for marriage tropes of all kinds: convenient, accidental, undercover, arranged, forced, and so on. ... Matching will be done on fandom, relationship, and marriage trope freeforms."
Sign-ups close 26 May. Stories are due 26 July.
Beyond the usual super-tropey tropes, some surprising available scenarios include:
"2 people who weren't romantically involved get together after meeting the AU married couple version,"
"Always Married to Same Person When You Dream,"
"Bard Immortalizes Wedding in Ballad To Couple's Delight or Embarrassment,"
"Character's Family Has Assured Them No One Will Ever Want To Marry Them,"
"Current Marriage Interrupted by Spouse from Alternate Timeline,"
"Future Arranged Spouses are Forbidden To Meet But Able To Study One Another's Hobbies,"
"practically everyone in the city wants to get friendly character a good wedding gift,"
"Wears Crocs To Wedding."
