Signups Are Open!
Jul. 4th, 2025 07:49 amtentaclemod posting in raremaleslashexDue to AO3 downtime slightly late but open. You can now sign up here!
Signups will remain open until 20:00 UTC on Sunday, 13 July. View the countdown here.
- Signup form
- Tagset If your tag isn't here, please send me an email at tentaclemod@gmail.com with the fandom and relationship you are missing, and a link to the pairing on ao3 with the eligibility filters applied.
- Requests summary
- Signup summary
- Rules Post
You can request 3-10 fandoms and offer 4-10 fandoms with 1-20 ships and 1-3 media (fic and/or art and/or podfic) in each.
You are only guaranteed to match on one fandom/ship/medium.
You can only request fandoms and relationships that have been nominated and appear in the tagset.
You can request a fandom more than once (if you want to request more than 20 ships, or you want to request a particular medium for some ships and not others). However, you must still request at least 3 unique fandoms.
You cannot offer a fandom more than once.
Only reasonable Do Not Wants (DNWs) listed in your signup will be enforced.
Do not list "unrequested kinks" as a DNW as this frequently causes confusion. Please be specific to avoid disappointment.
Do not indicate that you prefer one of your requests over the others; do not rank requests in order of preference. Your gift creator is only guaranteed to know one of your fandoms.
If you request or offer Original Work: matching does not differentiate between this and other fandoms; it is not to be considered a "backup" and you might match on it even if your other fandoms have requests/offers.
Any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at tentaclemod@gmail.com.
Signups will remain open until 20:00 UTC on Sunday, 13 July. View the countdown here.

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

No Kings! Icon
Jul. 2nd, 2025 09:40 pmmxcatmoonSo, I just whipped up a little something for the creative part of the challenge. It's not much, but feel free to swipe if you want. I've been wanting to do something along this line for a while now... There are also a couple of other themes that I was wishing I had icons for, but now I can't remember what they were.
