A new '90s TV fanfic exchange

[brightknightie]

I just learned from senmut's post that there is a 90s_channel_tv_exchange! It looks like perhaps the latest successor to myoldfandom and retrotvexchange...?

Here's how 90s_channel_tv_exchange describes itself:

Timeline:

• Nominations: 25 Jan - 01 Feb
• Sign-ups: 03 Feb - 10 Feb
• Due: 21 May
• Reveals: 28 May

Requirements:

• Minimum 1K words or equivalent art
• Live-action or cartoon fiction TV series that aired at least 1 new episode in any country in the '90s, or were dubbed into English for the first time in the '90s
• Matching is "or" on one medium (art or fic), one fandom, and one relationship field tag
• Nominate 1-4 fandoms and 1-5 single characters or relationship groups per fandom
• "You may request the same fandom multiple times, but a gift is guaranteed only if your requests and offers each have 3 unique fandoms." See the rules for anthology shows and crossovers.
• "Requests are 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 character tags, and Offers are 4-10 offers and 1-10 relationship field tags."

I don't understand this "relationship field tags" system and feel like I'd end up assigned a romance that I can't write, so I'm thinking I won't play, but I will look at the nominations and consider!

Some eligible series: FK, HL, BaTB, TNG, DS9, VOY, XF, BtVS, AtS, QL, E:FC, SG1, DS, Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman, Sailor Moon, Babylon 5, Farscape, Lois and Clark, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Pinky and the Brain, Batman Beyond, ReBoot and many more...

Yeah, it looks like the moderator is working under the assumption that participants will know that Solo: Natalie Lambert (e.g.) is a relationship for matching purposes.

The moderator who started this event is one of the people who mods Yuletide, so he likely is so immersed in “exchange culture” that it seemed obvious to him.
