A new '90s TV fanfic exchange

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

Here's how [community profile] 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...

If you think you may take part, you should ensure that the things you might be interested in writing/requesting are in the tag set. If you want, I'm sure those of us more familiar with the way these exchanges are run would be glad to help you with formulating the tags correctly.

Up to you, obviously.
