Signups Open!

Sign ups for Just Married are open! Sign up here. See the tag set here.

We have a google spreadsheet of freeform tags for browsing. To use the spreadsheet, make a copy, and use the arrows on the left hand side to expand individual categories.
** Update: Freeform tag list is now also available as a downloadable text file!

Sign ups will close 11:59 pm UTC on the 5th of June. To convert that your time, click here and add a city/time zone. Or, see the countdown clock.

Requests will be visible as they come in. Watch the sign up summary for numbers of requests/offers per fandom (note: fandoms with 0 requests will not appear). Watch the requests summary for details on requests, including requested ships, freeform tags, and media types.

Detailed instructions (copied from guidelines) are below. Some quick notes:
  • Please be careful when selecting Any Relationship/Any Freeform. Please do not request Any Relationship unless you are sure you are fine with receiving any relationship in the fandom in the tagset; same with Any Freeform. Do not request Any and then DNW certain relationships or tags. If your DNWs contradict the signup, the signup takes priority.
  • There is a space on the offer form for any notes to the mod you may have. This will be visible only to you and the mods.


    Requests
    You must request a minimum of 3 unique fandoms (maximum 10), 1-10 relationships per fandom (or “any”), and 1-20 freeform tags (or “any”). You may double-request fandoms, but at least 3 requests must be unique. You may request fanart, fanfiction, and/or podfic.

    Please feel free either in the optional details field on AO3, or in a linked (unlocked!) letter, to give your creator more information about things you would like to see. These may include general likes or specific prompts.

    When requesting podfic: A podfic on its own is a transformative work. Be mindful that for the fandoms and relationships you request podfic for, enough stories exist for your podficcer to find one they can get permission to record. For example, the last time we checked, the MCU had 89 English works between 1500 and 2000 words tagged both "Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes" and "marriage," while Strunk & White's frequently required read The Elements of Style had no fic at all, let alone marriage-themed fic for Passive Voice/Split Infinitives.


    Do Not Wants (DNWs) are things you do not want to see in the creation you receive. Please include them in the optional details field of your AO3 sign-up, clearly labelled as DNWs. Your creator is required to avoid DNWs written in your AO3 sign-up. DNWs that are only listed in a linked letter, and not in your AO3 sign-up, will not be binding for your creator.

    Matching is OR. This means that you will be matched on 1 of your requested fandoms, and any 1 relationship and 1 freeform tag requested in that fandom, in any 1 of the media types (fanart, fanfic, or podfic) you requested for that fandom. Your creator does not have to include multiple relationships, freeforms, or media types in their creation.


    Offers
    You must offer a minimum of 4 unique fandoms (max 10), 1-10 relationships per fandom (or “any”), and 1-20 freeform tags (or “any”). You may double-offer fandoms, but at least 4 requests must be unique. You may offer fanart, fanfiction, podfic, or a combination of all three.

    Matching is OR. This means that you may be matched to any 1 of your offered fandoms, and any 1 relationship and 1 freeform tag offered in that fandom, in any 1 of your offered media types (fanart, fanfic, or podfic) for that fandom.

    Please keep an eye on the email account associated with your AO3 account. If assignments are generated and there are no requests to match your offers to, the mods will contact you to see if you want to adjust your offers.

    Sign Ups, Assignments, and Requirements

    A note about the assignment due date: The assignment deadline is the deadline for complete works. Placeholder creations will not be considered complete. Placeholders may include: fic without an ending, fic with outline notes, obviously placeholder titles, etc. Recipients of placeholders may be sent to pinch hit. Please contact us ASAP if you think you need an extension, we may be able to work something out.

    Participants must create a complete story of at least 1500 words, or fanart with a minimum requirement of clean lineart on unlined paper, fulfilling one of their recipient’s requests. Podfic should be a complete recording of 1500 words or 10 minutes in length. Gifts must be in one of a recipient’s requested fandoms, include one of their requested pairings, and feature one of their requested freeform tags. You do not need to write, draw, or podfic for the fandom, relationship or freeform you matched on.

    In return, participants will receive a creation fulfilling one of their requests, with the same minimums required for fic, art, and podfic.

    When you receive your assignment email, please contact mods quickly if the assignment doesn’t match any of your offers.

    Gifts may not feature Do Not Wants explicitly stated in a recipient’s AO3 sign-up. If you have questions about your recipient’s DNWs, please contact the mods.

    Creators are expected to remain anonymous until reveals. If you have questions for your recipient, please contact the mods. We will do our best to disguise any fandom-specific questions and forward them to your recipient (who may not respond - we can discuss this with you if that is the case). If you are fulfilling a podfic request, your AO3 post will remain anonymous with the rest of the collection until reveals. Since voices are inherently identifiable, you do not need to upload a version of your podfic without an intro.

    Depending on how sign ups fall and how the matching algorithm runs, the mods may need to double assign creators to recipients. There may also be initial pinch hits for recipients whose requests were not able to be matched with a creator.

    Thanks so much for the spreadsheet! I was already ansgting at the idea of having to manually copy all of them, 30 tags at time, that is.

    I have a problem though. I don't own a keyboard, and the instruction mentions arrows that need to be clicked in order to expand the tags. Are the arrows in a keyboard? How I solve this problem when I only have touch screen functions in my computer? I have a pen, but I don't see any arrows appear when I hover the tip of my pen on the sections. Double clicking or right clicking also give me no change. How do I solve the problem and open the sections?

    Or else, do you have a plane txt list, as an alternative, if the above problem isn't fixable for me?

    Never mind. I saw the arrows, now! They are really tiny on my screen, but they are definitely there *phew*.

    A million hugs for whoever made the .txt file, I always make one for myself with the tags I like before signing up and this will really be useful!

    That downloadable text file (something that always takes me ages to do) is such a time-saver. Thank you!! And my goodness, we have been busy... 36 pages of freeforms? Yikes!

    Found a wandering tag! "Keyleth/Vax'ildan (Critical Role)" is in The Legend of Vox Machina

    Makes sense! Just thought I’d point it out in case it was needed 😊

    This might affect matching: there are some duplicate pairings in the DS9 fandom, where the pairing is the same but it has different disambiguation (ST:DS9 vs DS9)

    I also found a wandering, or rather, double tag:

    The Falcon And The Winter Soldier (TV)
    - Sam Wilson/James "Bucky" Barnes/Sarah Wilson (TFATWS)

    (listed next to each other in the tag set XD)

    Help mods? I've been trying to add Fake Marriage - Amnesia Makes Characters (Erroneously) Assume They’re Married to my requests, but AO3 gives me an error message saying that the tag isn't allowed, even if I'm clicking it from the scroll down window! Can I email you and you add it for me? I'd really like to request the trope.

    (Anonymous) 2022-06-05 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
    Nevermind! I managed to add it, at last, even if it's out of order, now. I wonder what was the bug this time.
