Hello all! This year's Narnia Fic Exchange will be starting up soon. Here's the schedule:
Tag nominations open: June 26th
Signups open: July 3rd
Signups close: July 12th
Assignments sent out: by July 16th
Fics due: any time before August 19th
Collection opens: August 27th
Authors revealed: September 3rd
So first thing on the list is tag nominations. You can get a preview of the tag set here. I've pre-loaded with tags (both character and additional) that are used yearly. Be sure to go over it, so if you see that some of your favorites are missing, you can add them.
Two notes about tags to remember when you're making your lists of tags to nominate:
1) If you want a relationship, you have to nominate it as "Group: character A/character B." If you want romance or a sexual relation, use the /. If you want platonic or friendship in your grouping, use the &. This is also how you would nominate crossovers, and I put a couple of examples of those in the tag set so you can see how those work.
2) Additional Tags are not the same as Freeform tags. Think of additional tags as helping you request/prompt - they should be something that anyone in the exchange will clearly understand. Freeform tags are what you use when you're tagging your story when posting - these can be whatever you want to describe your story. We ran into a lot of confusion with this last year, so please feel free to leave a question here if you have any, or send to narniaficexchange@gmail.com.
Start thinking about what you want to request/write, and get those tag nominations ready! The tag set will open for nominations next week!
