Just Married is a marriage-themed multifandom exchange for marriage tropes of all kinds: convenient, accidental, undercover, arranged, forced, and so on.

Participants will write a complete fic of least 1500 words and receive a complete fic of at least 1500 words in return. Fanart is also accepted in this exchange, and the minimum requirement is clean lineart on unlined paper. Podfic requirements are a complete recording of 1500 words or 10 minutes in length. Matching will be done on fandom, relationship, medium, and marriage trope freeforms.

Exchange updates will be posted to this community. To contact the mods, please email marriageex@gmail.com, or PM the mod DW account justmarriedmod.

Tagset update for 2025: By request, the A/B/O category has been renamed Omegaverse. One tag had to be shortened to fit the character limit (A/B/O - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible but A&B accidentally do it; considered married -> Omegaverse - Alpha/Alpha mating bond assumed impossible; A&B accidentally do it; considered married.) All other tags remain the same aside from the category change.

Fandom disambiguation after canonical pairing tags?

[leighroberts]

On my nomination, I only selected canonical pairings, and as soon as I click them, they're entered - no opportunity to add a fandom disambiguation.

Do you want us to enter them manually and then add the fandom, like so:

Agustín Madrigal/Julieta Madrigal (Encanto)

Or is it fine just to accept AO3's autofill if the pairing only exists in the fandom I'm entering them for?

[justmarriedmod]

Thank you for finding these! I'll go over them and post a changelist with the next nom clarification post.

Re: Fandom disambiguation after canonical pairing tags?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! After selecting from the dropdown, you can click on the entered nomination, which should make it editable again - you can add the fandom disambig then. Thanks for checking!

Nomination Explanation - Daomu Biji

[gavilan]

Hi, I just nominated some ships for 盗墓笔记 - 南派三叔 | Daomu Biji under a manually entered All Media Types tag and I wanted to explain why this makes sense for the fandom. It's a series of ~20 books with at least 7 different shows with some different and some overlapping continuity and actors for the characters, and a bunch of spinoff and stand alone movies. The fandom tends to treat all the various pieces as a big bucket to pull from, so nominating the overarching "Daomu Bji" makes more sense - I'm not specifically requesting the characters as they appear in my favorite show, I'm requesting them in general. I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

I spotted some duplicates in 人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù:

Liu Qingge/Shen Jiu (SVSSS - MXTX)
Liu Qingge/Shen Jiu | Original Shen Qingqiu (SVSSS)

Liu Qingge/Shen Yuan (SVSSS - MXTX)
Liǔ Qīnggē/Shěn Yuán | Shěn Qīngqiū (SVSSS)

Liu Qingge/Tianlang-jun (SVSSS - MXTX)
Liǔ Qīnggē/Tiānláng-jūn (SVSSS)

Re: Nomination Explanation - Daomu Biji

[justmarriedmod]

Thank you for the heads up! Since the fandom at large regularly mixes continuities I'm fine with accepting under the AMT tag.

[justmarriedmod]

Thank you! I've removed the duplicates.

Re: Nomination Explanation - Daomu Biji

[gavilan]

Thank you! One of my nominations for this fandom seems to have duplicated, Wang Pangzi/Ye Piaopiao. Could you please delete one so I can use the slot for another nom? Thanks! (Link to my noms in case that's helpful: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/23587/nominations/380128/edit)

Re: Fandom disambiguation after canonical pairing tags?

[leighroberts]

I edited them all to the form "Agustín Madrigal/Julieta Madrigal (Encanto Movie)" to match the format of already-accepted ships from other Disney animated movies. Would you prefer "Agustín Madrigal/Julieta Madrigal (Encanto)" or "Agustín Madrigal/Julieta Madrigal (Encanto (2021))"?

The latter is the AO3 canonical tag for the movie.

Re: Fandom disambiguation after canonical pairing tags?

[justmarriedmod]

Encanto Movie is fine, thank you!

Re: Nomination Explanation - Daomu Biji

[justmarriedmod]

Hi! I can't remove already accepted tags, sorry, but please reply to this comment with the ship you'd like to add and I'll enter it into the tagset for you.

no letter field

The sign-up form says to put the link to the letter in the letter field, but I don't see a letter field, can you check that it's set up correctly?

Re: no letter field

[justmarriedmod]

Hi! There's no letter field this year, sorry. Please link the letter directly in the Optional Details box, clearly marked Letter.
