The instructions again say: "Requests are 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 character tags" while "Offers are 3-10 offers and 1-10 relationship field tags." This still confuses me; my brain is relentlessly literal with instructions. But I understand from you all now what it should actually say is: Requests and offers alike are 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 relationship-field tags; solo characters appear in the relationship-field tags with the prefix "Solo."
- Sign up on the AO3.
- Read the sign-ups announcement on DW.
- Read the full rules/FAQ on DW.
- Find the timeline on DW.
Core fandoms:
- Highlander got 19 nominations. Of them, I could write Ceirdwyn, Darius, Joe, Randi, Rebecca, Richie, Tessa, Duncan/Tessa, Tessa & Michelle, and Duncan & Tessa & Richie.
- Forever Knight clocked in with 21 nominations. Of them, I could write Schanke, Feliks, Janette, Reese, Stonetree, Nat, Nick, Urs, Nick/Urs, Nick & Natalie, Nick & Urs, Grace & Nat, Janette & Nat, Nick & Vachon & Tracy.
Some other fandoms I know you all love:
- For Malinaldarose, Earth: Final Conflict is nominated (Da'an & Liam, Ha'gel & Ma'el, Liam & Original Liam, Siobhan & Liam & Sandoval, Boone & Da'an).
- For Lightbird, Hey Arnold! is nominated (Gerald & Arnold or Helga/Arnold) and also the original Quantum Leap (Sam & Al, Sam/Al, Sam, Al).
- For Malinaldarose and ArgentumLS, The Tomorrow People (1992) is in with all gen (Ami & Lisa & Jade, Bill & Hasana & Penny, Bill & Megabyte, Megabyte & Adam, Megabyte & Ami & Adam & Jade).
- For several of you, SG-1 is in with 30 nominations!
A few miscellaneous canons that I checked:
- I could write Angel: The Series gen. Looks like AtS would have to be my third offer, if I decide to play. (Unless I go with Pride and Prejudice, but as much as I love and reqatch the A&E '90s P&P, I don't see how fanfic of it differs from fanfic of Austen...?)
- The Pokemon anime nominations do include Misty & Ash & Brock and Ash & Ash's Pikachu. But the rest are ships. Firmly Indigo League-era, appropriate to the '90s theme.
- Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman got nominated with solid canon ships! No gen or solo.
- Darkwing Duck nominations include solo Goslyn.
- All the Sailor Moon nominations are ships, and only one canon ship among them (maybe two if you stretch to count Luna/Artemis (the cats)). No gen or solo.
- Dark Shadows (1991) got nominated! Wait, how can that have been 1991? Really? That was then? Well, that's a short canon to rewatch, technically, if one completely ignores its older sibling.
I really need to watch Babylon 5 one of these days. Maybe after Earth: Final Conflict. Also this 1990 Zorro that I somehow missed entirely (probably not aired in my area).
What are you thinking about this new fest? What will be fun for you?

Normally, I would be all over playing such an exchange, but the fact that I don't have a third "ready to write" show within the '90s by its rules, combined with the fact that I'd tried to pivot to more "just because" stories as a kind of New Year's resolution... We shall see!
