About
A fic and art exchange for problematic content of your haikyuu ships! If you are a minor or base your morals on fictional ships and fictional content, this exchange is not for you. Kindly leave. Feel like you want to start a moral crusade because you care about the children? Some real children need someone to advocate for them. We included educational and activist organizations links below so you can help them since fictional characters don't need your voice!

How it Works
We will have a time period for tag nominations for the exchange tag set, which you will be able to choose from during sign ups!
Writers and Artists sign up to create and receive a gift work.
Ao3 has a system that will match creators with requests, and we'll double-check pairings for boundaries of limits, ships, and content.
Participants have 10 weeks to create and submit their gift.
We will post gifts anonymously, and then all creators will be revealed on Nov 5.
Rules
This an exchange for problematic content, it's ok not to be into everything, but keep in mind we are not banning any dark theme or kink.
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER WHEN THEY SIGN UP. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BIO HAS YOUR AGE (18+ works)
We will make sure that you are not paired with a request with any of your hard limits. At the same time, you must be respectful of other's requests and not cross any set boundaries. Our beta readers will be making sure of this.
All gifts must meet the minimum requirements: 1.5K words for fics and a one-page sketch for art pieces. There is no limit to how long you want your fic to be or how many art pieces you want to create.
YOU MUST REMAIN ANONYMOUS UNTIL CREATOR REVEALS ON NOV 5! Please thats the whole point of this!
Again, this is an ADULT event for PROBLEMATIC content, please be respectful to everyone involved. You do not have to be into everything, but any kink-shaming or other fan-cop-like behavior will not be tolerated.
FAQ
Q: Is there any type of content not allowed?
In terms of taboo, dark themes, and kinks? Nope!
(Due to a CC) To be clear when we say problematic we mean the horny kind that impacts fictional characters only, not the prejudice against minorities kind.
Q: I'm uncomfortable with certain kinks and/or ships, can I still join?
You will have the chance to tell us your preferences regarding ships, ship dynamic, and kinks/themes in the sign-up form. There will be a description section where you can list your hard limits for ships, kinks, and themes. As long as you are respectful about people's preferences even if they make you uncomfy. No shaming allowed.
Q: Is there a reason why we don't get 10 full weeks?
We changed the schedule so you now get 10 whole weeks! But, we are set on Oct 21 because it’s International Fisting Day and the mods can't bring themselves to miss that opportunity!
Q: I don't have an Ao3 account, can I still join?
Unfortunetly, because we are using Ao3 system to match, everyone must have a registered account, even artists.
Q: Will there be a discord?
Since some of our creators will be using their alt twitter for this event, or don't want to be associated with their main account, we will not have a discord. Email will be our primary method of communication. Feel free to dm us on Twitter or use our CC if you have questions and concerns.
Q: Why are you holding this event?
Because there isn't enough problematic haikyuu content and we wanna fix that. Also, because we can.
