Hello! I have continued the annual tradition of dragging my feet on posting a schedule and, as a result, pushing everything just a little bit later than last year. But 2025 is here! Some dates may be tweaked slightly before signups begin:

Nominations: 23 April - 1 May

Signups: 3 May - 11 May

Assignments out by: 14 May

Mandatory check-in: 7-14 June

Default deadline: 14 June

Works due: 28 June

Works revealed: 19 July

Creators revealed: 28 July

I'm also announcing a few rule changes.

First, standalone comics of 5 pages or more will be allowed this year!

Second, partly to support the ability to request/offer comics for different character combinations, I will be allowing participants to request and offer the same fandom multiple times. You must still request 3 unique fandoms and offer 4 unique fandoms.

Third and finally, the use of AI to generate text or images is not allowed in Fandom5K.

Rules are still being finalized, but you can read the draft here. Not much else has changed since last year.

Signups have just opened, and nominations are still ongoing!

We have ~~two~~ three nominations queries at this time. If you were one of the nominators of these tags, we would appreciate you helping us with clarifications:

Little Shop of Horrors - Menken/Ashman: The tag "Chantel (Little Shop of Horrors)" was nominated, but we are having trouble confirming that this character exists. Could the nominator share information on where they appear in the canon?
Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! | Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!: The tag "Sheriff Dekastop (Eizouken)" was nominated, but we are having trouble confirming that this character exists. Could the nominator share information on where they appear in the canon?
Heartbeat (UK TV): The tag "Cup of Tea (Object and Concept Anthropomorphism)" was nominated, but we wanted to double-check if this is indeed a nomination for a cup of tea that appears in Heartbeat—in which case it should be disambiguated with the proper fandom—or if it was an error.

Thank you!

Signups are now open (a tiny bit early)! They will remain open until Monday, April 28 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). You can browse the requests in the app!

The tagset will remain open for nominations through the end of signups. Please disambiguate your nominations to make the approvals process faster. IMPORTANT NOTE! If AO3 won't let you signup for a character that you know is definitely in the tagset, please comment here or email us with the exact fandom and character(s) you were trying to request/offer. A mod will then batch load it for you on the backend, and you will be able to request it.

You must request 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your requests must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars requests would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

If you wish, you may request Any for drabble type. This means you are open to receiving any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset.

If you wish, you may request Any character. This means any character in the canon (NOT just the tagset). Please do not request Any unless you really are open to receiving any character from that canon.

If you have character DNWs, requesting Any might not be the best idea, as this could end up with a bad match with someone who had only offered that character. We will be checking for this before we send assignments, but it's possible we could miss something, which would lead to us having to re-assign your writer and send you to pinch hit. (Note that the character DNW would still be upheld in this situation.) If you are requesting Any and do not wish to receive fic about objects, etc., you should DNW that as well.

Blank signups are allowed, but prompts, likes, and a list of DNWs are strongly encouraged.

Offers:

You must offer 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 characters and 1-7 drabble types each. Fandoms in your offers must be unique, but may be related (e.g., three Star Wars offers would be fine, as long as it was three separate Star Wars fandoms).

If you wish, you may offer Any for drabble type. This means you are open to writing any of the 7 drabble types in the tagset. (Note that unless your recipient has also requested Any, you must write one of the specific drabble types they requested.)

If you wish, you may offer Any character. This means any character in the tagset (i.e., if your recipient has requested specific characters, you must write one of them). Please do not offer Any unless you really are open to writing any character in the tagset for that fandom (including any last-minute additions to the tagset).

Do Not Wants:

Only reasonable DNWs in your AO3 signup will be enforced.

A reasonable DNW is a DNW that is clear and does not attempt to box your writer into writing just one thing.

Other:

Some tags may not appear in the drop-down menu, but can still be used by copy-pasting from the tagset itself. This is a known AO3 bug.

If you encounter any issues while signing up, please let us know ASAP, as AO3 bugs can sometimes hit exchanges.

If you need to let us know something about your signup (such as not wanting to be assigned to a specific other participant), please contact us via email (seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail) or the mod contact post.

Signups will close on May 4th at 10 PM EDT. Here is a countdown. Signup guidelines are below.

Requests
You will have 10 fandom slots for requests. You may repeat fandoms with different ships/tags. For each fandom slot, you may request 1-20 relationships and 2-20 freeforms. The minimum number of required fandoms is one, but if you request fewer than three unique fandoms, you are not guaranteed a gift and the mod will not delay reveals for you. Fandoms that are clearly different adaptions of the same thing, such as "Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber," "Cats - 1998 Movie" and "Cats - 2019 Movie" will NOT be considered unique fandoms for this purpose. If you go to pinch hits with fewer than three fandoms, you may contact the mods to add extra requests if your pinch hit lingers for more than a week or more than 24 hours after the work deadline.

You may request either fic, art, or both.

If you have a letter at an external site (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Google Docs, etc)., provide a link to it in the relevant box. Please ensure that your letter is complete by the time signups close.

If you have any Do Not Wants (DNWs) that you wish your creator to respect, they must be in the Optional Details box of your signup. DNWs that are only contained in an outside letter cannot be enforced by the mods.

The mods encourage all participants to use clear, specific, and reasonable DNWs for this exchange. If you have questions about the best way to phrase your DNWs, please contact prisonerex.mod@gmail.com for assistance.

You may request "any" ship or freeform. If you choose this option, you may be matched to someone offering any ship (in that fandom) or freeform in the tagset. Please be sure that you really are okay with receiving anything in the tagset; mods will not enforce DNWs for ships or freeforms that contradict tags in the tagset. If you are creating for a recipient who requests "any" ship or freeform, you only need to be able to create for one fandom/ship/freeform combination from the tagset.

Offers
The minimum number of required fandoms for offers is one as long as you are matchable. You will have 10 fandom slots for offers. You may repeat fandoms with different ships/tags. For each fandom slot, you may offer 1-20 relationships and 2-20 freeforms. You may offer "any" for relationships and/or freeforms. If you choose this option, please be sure that you are prepared to create for whatever relationship and/or freeform your recipient has requested.

You may offer either fic, art, or both.

Specific Nominations

Dishonored

Captor!Corvo Attano/Prisoner!Guard He Keeps Choking Out In Different Locations

Is this a canonical guard or OC?

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Prisoner!Loki & rescuer!Avengers

If you do not have a specific Avengers roster in mind, we can leave this; however, since the members of the Avengers change across the movies of the MCU, be aware that different people may have different ideas about who is in the Avengers.

Captive Prince - C.S. Pacat

Damen/Kastor
Kastor/Laurent

These nominations do not include any indication of captor/prisoner/rescuer/visitor and cannot be approved as is.

General Formatting Note

There are multiple fandoms nominations that cannot be approved right now for one or more of the following reasons:

The characters are not listed in the following order: Captor! -- Prisoner! -- Rescuer! -- Visitor!
The exclamation marks are missing or in the wrong place
The spacing around & or / is incorrect

These are all issues that make it easier for both the Ao3 system and the mods to flag and avoid duplicates. If you have pending nominations, please check them and fix as needed.

When submitting your work, you need to let mods know what freeform is being created for. Tag the freeform. Use an author note. Send the mod e-mail an e-mail if you can't do either of those. You can delete tag/note before reveals if you want it to be a surprise for your recipient.

If you don't do this, it'll sit in the queue until it's either fixed on re-check or a mod gets around to sending you an e-mail asking you to say what freeform it is.

Nominations are now open for the spring 2025 round of Seasons of Drabbles! Nominations will remain open until signups close on Monday, April 28.

Important Reminders

We added a rule last round that we would not approve broad writer's-choice character nominations (e.g., "Creator's Choice of Demon" or "Any Star Trek Captain"). This is because it requires the mods to have fandom-specific knowledge when checking that gifts are for a requested character during approvals. Instead, please nominate specific characters.

For example, we would not approve "Creator's Choice of Jedi" under Star Wars because it'd require the mods to know/find out which individual characters in a gift are Jedi or not. Instead, we'd ask you to nominate specific Jedi characters. The only fandoms where such broad nominations are permitted are the "Creator's Choice" fandoms (e.g., "Female Character"), since by their nature, character nominations cannot be specific.

All character nominations should be disambiguated, for example: Steve Rogers (Captain America (Movies)). Not doing this slows the approval process significantly, so please disambiguate! Characters may be nominated in any/every fandom in which they appear.

General Guidelines

You may nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 characters each.

With some exceptions, both umbrella fandoms and sub-fandoms are allowed. For instance, you may nominate under Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars - All Media Types. You may also nominate under sub-fandoms such as Thor (Movies) or Star Wars Original Trilogy.

Please remember that if you request Any for an umbrella fandom, you will be requesting any character who appears in any of the fandoms below the umbrella - NOT just characters in the tagset. So if you plan to request Any, you may want to request under a specific sub-fandom rather than the umbrella.

RPF is allowed. Nominated RPF characters must be famous in their own right, and must be 18+ for modern RPF.

Crossovers are allowed. Crossover fandoms should be nominated as Fandom A/Fandom B. Character nominations for crossovers should be nominated as Character's Name (Fandom A/Fandom B). For example, if nominating Luke Skywalker for a Narnia/Star Wars crossover, the fandom would be nominated as Chronicles of Narnia/Star Wars, while the character would be nominated as Luke Skywalker (Narnia/Star Wars).

Recursive fandoms are allowed. The required format is Recursive: Fic/Series title - Creator. Recursive fandoms may be nominated under two circumstances: 1. the creator has posted a blanket permission statement, 2. you are the creator. In either case, please contact us when nominating so that we have the pertinent permissions. Characters nominated under recursive fandoms should be disambiguated with the title of the recursive fandom.

Since we will be re-using the tagset all year, recursive fandoms will be removed on an as-needed basis between rounds (only if a blanket permission statement comes down, or the creator asks for it to be removed).

Original Works are allowed. When nominating characters, please disambiguate with (Original Work). If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination. An example nomination: Original Nonbinary Character (Original Work)

Original characters may also be nominated in existing fandoms. When nominating an original character within an existing fandom, please disambiguate with the name of the fandom. If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination. An example nomination: Original Anbu Character (Naruto)

Objects/concepts/etc. may be nominated in the character slot for any canon in which they appear. For Original Works, you can make some up if you would like. Some example nominations: Cursed Hat (What We Do in the Shadows (TV)), Magic Mirror (Original Work)
