We have 8 initial pinch hits, which are requests that came out of the matching process without artists. Below is a list of participants who need creators, a list of their fandoms, and a link to the ao3 app with their request details. To claim a pinch hit:
These pinch hits are due on the normal assignment due date of November 30, 10:00 PM PST (countdown).
If you'd like a refresher on the minimum requirements for the exchange, or how defaulting in D4D works, please see these sections below! Very briefly:
As I mentioned in the previous post, after I ran matching, everyone was matchable on offers! However, some recipients did not have a potential giver. Those recipients will be going out as initial pinch hits. That post will be up shortly!
Signups for Doodle 4 Doodle 2025 are now closed! I am excited for everyone who's going to doodle with us this round!
There are no outstanding signup related questions or issues! Everyone made themselves matchable before the deadline, and therefore no one will be getting a random Creator's Choice of Doodle assignment.
This makes assignments rather easy! AO3 and airtable willing, assignments should be sent out within the next day or so--and definitely no later than October 30th. Initial pinch hits will be posted shortly afterwards.
If there are any questions or concerns about signups please give me a shout in the next 24 hours! If you forgot a letter link, or you forgot to add your DNWs, you can email me at outstandingfroggie2 at proton dot me or contact me on the screened mod post and I can get them added for you before assignments go out.
Nominations for the 2025 round of Doodle 4 Doodle have closed. Big thanks to everyone who nominated!! You can see the full tagset here.
Signups continue through the weekend! There are 48 hours left to sign up for this round of Doodle 4 Doodle. (countdown until signups close).
During this last little bit of signups, you may want to check the signup summary or the ao3 app to see if you're matchable (e.g. have someone who is requesting a tag that you are offering). In this exchange, participants that aren't matchable will not be contacted after the deadline. Instead, any participant who is unmatchable after signups close will be matched at random to someone requesting Creator's Choice of Doodle.
I have done a little last minute cleanup of the tagset and approvals of the last few tags that were nominated before the tagset closed. If you have any questions about nominations/tags, or questions about matching, please feel free to leave them here or on the screened mod contact post.
There's 24 hours left before the tagset closes for nominations! (countdown)
Signups continue through Monday evening in the Pacific time zone (countdown to signups closing).
We've passed 50 people signed up, and I'm so excited to be doodling with everyone! I can't wait to see who signs up over the weekend! <3
Some fandoms seem to be extremely cursed, and cause me to get a 500 time out whenever I try to approve them.
If your fandom appears to be rejected, or it doesn't appear to be in the place it should be, I may have had to reject the fandom you nominated and slap a DFE or "Disambiguated For Exchanges" on it to make the tag nominations go through.
So far, the only affected fandom has been Buffy The Vampire Slayer. If this happens to your nominations, you can find the fandom under the Uncategorized Fandoms tab of the tagset. I apologize for the inconvenience!
If you have any questions about nominations, you can ask them here!
Tagset approvals are humming along! I'm currently caught up with processing nominations as of 10 minutes ago, and we've a little more than a day and a half left before nominations close on Saturday, October 25th @ 10:00pm PDT (countdown)!
This post is providing information on a few of the nominations that have been made. Tags get rejected prior to querying just so that new tags can be displayed. If a tag has been rejected to be queried, don't panic! I will add any tags that you need back into the tagset manually.
I'm allowing prompt-like tags through for Creator's Choice of Doodles, where you can get pretty specific about what you'd like to see--either as a specific art remix, or characters engaged in a specific activity. But for original work, we're sticking with ship formatting that doesn't lock anyone into having to draw any specific activity (even if an activity is highly implied by the tag).
For example, an accepted tag:
If you'd like to create more specific tags for Robot/Human, Robot/Robot, Robot/Android, or Android/Android, you will need to rephrase the tag(s) into something that would be accepted into the tagset. You will need to use your optional details to specify that you'd like to receive an M or E-rated fill and/or that you're interested in doodles about wireplay.
If you need help reformulating your tags, you can take a look at original works tags that have already been accepted into the tagset. If you'd like help workshopping OW tags that will be accepted into the tagset, you can contact me on this post or through the screened mod contact post.
