1) Ships must include at least one current or ex-member of the Blue Jackets. Prospects are allowed, as are retired players.
2) There is a list of banned players, such as Patrick Kane, Semyon Varlamov, Drew Doughty, Mike Ribiero. For a full list, please feel free to email me at [email protected]
3) Fics must be at least 1000 words. There is no upper limit. You may write more than one fic for your recipient, as long as at least one of them is over 1000 words.
4) AUs/Crossovers/Fusions are allowed, but proceed with caution if they are not explicitly asked for by your recipient. I personally would die of happiness if someone wrote me Nick/Bob Star Wars AU, but other people might not be so thrilled.
5) Please do not write anything containing your recipients dislikes.

Requests and Offers
1) You must request and offer at least THREE ships. You may request and offer up to FIVE ships.
2) There is an option to include a Dear Author letter. Though this is not required, it is helpful to provide your author with a little more information than is offered in the AO3 sign-up form.
3) If you are uncomfortable writing certain ships/tropes, please note this in the likes/dislikes section of your offers.
4PLEASE make sure the ship you are requesting matches the one in the tag set EXACTLY. If they do not match, AO3 will not let me match people together.

Treats
If you would like to offer your Dear Author letter up so people can write you treats, please do so with the link in the introduction above.
Treats are essentially extra fic that no one is required to write, but it may be that a certain prompt just speaks to you and you want to write it!
There is no word minimum on treats, and you are not limited to one. You MUST write your recipient a fic that matches their requests that is at least 1000 words long, but after that, the sky's the limit! You do not have to write a treat for your recipient, you can write a treat for anyone who's Dear Author Letter is public.
