In this exchange, you’ll be matched on which characters you request. Since this is looking to be a small exchange, I’ve added most of the major and/or popular characters to the exchange’s tagset already.
If there are any characters you’d like to request or offer, you can nominate them starting this Sunday, March 15. I’ll post the link to the nominations page once it’s open. Each participant can nominate 3 characters. (Note that you’ll need to be logged into your Archive of Our Own account to nominate--if you don’t have an account, you can sign up for one here, or send a message to the mods with an e-mail address so we can give you an invitation.)
Nominating characters won’t sign you up for the exchange--i.e., you can nominate even if you’re not yet sure if you want to participate.
Instructions
Once you follow the (not yet posted) link to the nominations page, there will be a field to enter your nominations. If your character already has a canonical tag on AO3, a suggested tag (which you should click) will pop up when you start typing their name.
A few notes about character tags
1. AO3 can be picky about accents--if you type Thenardier instead of Thénardier for example, it won’t be able to find the character you’re looking for.
2. Even if your character doesn’t have a canonical name, they might still have a character tag! For example, characters like Bahorel’s Laughing Mistress and Gavroche’s brothers have tags even though they don’t have canonical names.
Once you’ve nominated your characters, a moderator will have to approve them, and then they’ll show up in the tag set for the exchange (which you can view here).
