Age Gap Exchange

 I am trying to sort my schedule out, which is taking me some time due to possible trips out of the country, but barring any sudden incidents, AGEx will most likely be running this year. A preliminary post will be up ASAP.

While I'm sorting things out, if you have any questions/concerns/suggestions for improvement this round I'm happy to hear them!

The collection has been revealed!

Please do remember to thank your author/artist. If there are any issues with your gifts let me know by email (agegapexchange@gmail.com) ASAP. Please remember that you can't deanon yourself until creator reveals.

Happy reading!

The deadline for submitting your assignments has passed, unless you've requested an extension. The collection is temporarily closed while I sort out pinch hits; it will reopen once I post a pinch hits post to this community.

Works are due in about 36 hours, at 9PM March 30th Eastern Time. 
Countdown || what time is that for me?

I do give extensions, but all requests for extensions must be in my inbox at least 12 hours before the deadline. (Extension requests must be in my inbox by 9AM Eastern Time.) Email me at agegapexchange@gmail.com to ask for an extension or with any questions etc. Please do not request extensions on this post, as comments are not screened.

There are a couple of defaulted assignments right now, but I'll post them with the post-deadline pinch hits.

Pinch hits 4, 5, 6, and 7 are still open. There is also one more pinch hit, pinch hit 9. To claim a pinch hit, please leave a comment on this post (comments are screened) or email me at agegapexchange@gmail.com , stating your AO3 name and the number of the pinch hit. All rules which are relevant for regular assignments also apply to pinch hits.

Assignments are due on the 30th of March at 9PM Eastern Time. These pinch hits are also due on the same day at the same time.

Also, a general note: for some reason Google has been sending some exchange-related emails to my spam folder, which I discovered just now. If you haven't received a reply to your email within 48 hours please give me a poke.

Matches have been generated. Three people don't have potential recipients, and I have emailed them. Please check the email associated with the AO3 account you used to sign up for this exchange. (If you're one of the people who are unmatchable, please get back to me ASAP.)

(Please note that I will have to delete your signup if you don't confirm that you've received the email within 48 hours or otherwise contact me.)

 Signups are going to be closed in ~30-45 mins minutes. (I've gotten held up due to weather and am not back home yet, and I don't want to close signups on my phone.)

 Signups are now open!

• If you please encounter any issues signing up, please let me know ASAP.
• The signup form is linked at the bottom of this page.
• No edits can be made to the tagset once signups begin.
• Relationships in the tagset may sometimes not appear in the drop-down list. This is a known bug. You can copy/paste the relationship from the tagset (with the exact wording of the tag intact).
• You can request between 3 and 10 unique fandoms, and between 1 and 20 relationships per fandom. (You can also request 'Any Relationship' if you like. Please note that this means any relationship in the tagset, not any relationship ever.) You can also request fic, art, or both in every fandom.
• You can offer between 4 and 10 unique fandoms, and between 1 and 20 relationships per fandom. (You can also request 'Any Relationship' if you like. Please note that this means any relationship in the tagset, not any relationship ever.) You can also offer fic, art, or both in every fandom.
• Writing a letter/filling in the optional details section isn't mandatory. However, I recommend that you include at least your strongest DNWs in the optional details section. That being said, providing prompts/likes etc. will give your author/artist a better idea of what you want (though they aren't obligated to follow those prompts), so at least a few sentences on what you like might be a good idea.
• If you write a letter, please do remember to enter the URL of the letter in the section reserved for that in the signup. You can also link your letter in the letters post if you wish to.
• DNWs, or Do Not Wants, are things the recipient absolutely does not want in their gift. DNWs stated in the signup must be respected. Please note, however, that extremely restrictive DNWs or DNWs such as 'age gaps' will result in the mod contacting you with a request to change this.
• Please note that there is no rule stating that the age gap must be explicitly acknowledged. If you want it to be acknowledge please mention this in your signup.
• If you want to request the characters being aged up, you can, as long as an age gap is still present. (However, please do be aware that any sort of request like this is going to be treated as an optional detail which your creator won't be bound to.)

Questions below! In addition, if there are duplicate tags and tags wandering where they're not supposed to be, now's the time to tell me.

This is a reminder that & relationships aren't allowed in this exchange! I will change all & relationships to / relationships at the end of the clarification period unless the original nominator asks for the tag to be rejected.

Also, I haven't rejected any tags as of the time of posting this. If your nominations have been rejected please contact me ASAP.

If you're the original nominator, please provide a link to your nomination form. Only I will be able to access the link. The original nominator's opinions will be given the most weight unless the question is a purely factual matter, but for general fandom grouping questions everyone is invited to pitch in.

If these questions aren't answered by 9AM Eastern Time 7:30PM Eastern Time on the 5th of February I will go with my own judgement in making decisions. Also, please note that I won't be making any changes to the tagset after signups open.

Dragon Age
I have received nominations for All Media Types and Video Game. I've been told that All Media Types encompasses a substantially wider range of material than just the video game. Is there a preference as to how the nomination should be split?

Original Works
Please clarify an age gap in the following relationships:

• Impulsive Male Trade Union Leader/Recently Widowed Young Duke
• Monarch's Male Advisor/Monarch's Son
• Retired Male Supervillain/Young Wannabe Superhero who knows his Identity and Keeps Asking for Advice
• University Student/The 19th Century Ghost That Haunts The Dorm

Sense and Sensibility
I have received nominations for All Media Types and the Jane Austen book. Would either of the nominators be willing to switch their nominations to the other fandom?

Star Wars - All Media Types
As decided upon earlier, Star Wars will be divided into subcategories and AMT is not allowed. Original nominator: where do you want the relationships to go? 

The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
Arwen/Tauriel : to the best of my knowledge, Tauriel is a Hobbit movie character. Would this relationship fit better under Crossover Fandom or The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)?

EDIT:

A couple more things:

Constantine, Frasier
I have received the following disputes in the dispute post: https://agegapexchange.dreamwidth.org/11248.html?thread=55536#cmt55536

Does anyone have any counterevidence? (The & relationships will be changed to / after a certain period of time as mentioned above.)

MCU
Peter Parker/Wade Wilson, Peter Parker/Wade Wilson/Charles Xavier: I believe these relationships belong under Crossover Fandom; am I right? And if so, under which canons?

EDIT 2:

Warcraft/World of Warcraft:
Are all the tags where they belong?
