PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW IF YOU ARE UNDER 18. I am a biscuit of many fandoms and sometimes I write. Sometimes I write smut. Some of this smut (and non-smut) may be found on AO3.
Sign ups for the Spectre Requisitions exchange will be possible from January 14th to January 25th. You must fill out at least five unique requests and unique three offers (requests and offers do not necessarily have to be the same!). Anytime someone offers something, we will update the “Offers Present?” tab on the spreadsheet with a simple yes when it is offered.
You may also choose ‘Any Pairings’ and ask or volunteer to write any of the pairings of the nominations list.
You can go back and edit your Sign Up Form up until 25 Jan 2019 06:00PM EST. A BIG WARNING ABOUT USING ‘ANY PAIRINGS’: Any pairing means exactly that, that you are willing to get or create fanworks for any pairing. We cannot control what characters or prompts are in an “Any Pairings” request. Thus, it should not be used for a request like “Any Garrus Vakarian fic”. “Any pairing” requests should only be requested for when you really want to see a certain trope or kink (and don’t care which characters are used) and should only be offered if you want the sheer challenge of a pure mystery! The only thing we will allow you to limit it by is the category of relationship, eg Gen, F/F, M/M or F/M. Anything else put into the box will be ignored so chose this option CAREFULLY.
If you would like to participate but do not have an AO3 account, please send us a message on tumblr and we will get you an invitation.
One Important Addition this year: Please add your DNW (Do Not Wants) to your sign-ups. We cannot enforce DNWs that are only in letters!
2) Click the checkmark on “Mass Effect - All Media Types” for the fandom!
3) Start writing the name of your favorite character/pairing from the nominations. Don’t forget to check the spreadsheet if you need inspiration!
3) The box should start to autofill as you type; if it doesn’t, simply enter things as . Select your pairing of choice. You can have one or two pairings per request, and may have ten requests total. This gives you a total of 20 potential pairings to request at maximum, and the minimum is 5 requests and 3 offers.
This is what it looks like with one relationship filled in:
Note that the box is still active and allows you to fill more in. If you are planning on requesting only the minimum, please only fill one in per box; Ao3 cannot count like
And here’s what it looks like with two tags filled in:
Now, the box is gone, and you’re maxed out for this request set. Note that when you’re doing multiple pairings, you’ll have to put your prompts/likes/DNWs for the two pairings in the same box. Don’t hesitate to reach out again if you’ve got more questions!
4) Decide whether you would like to potentially receive fanart or fanfic, or both. Check the applicable box(es).
5) Give your author some idea of what you want to see in the description box.
Good things to list: general likes, rating restrictions, prompt ideas, squicks/triggers/do-not-wants, or anything else you’d like the writer to know. Make sure you list things you definitively do not want. Authors and artists are absolutely forbidden to ignore squicks and triggers. Otherwise, the only guideline of your prompt authors/artists is unequivocally beholden to is the requested pairing, though they are encouraged to take your preferences into consideration.
6) Repeat between 5-10 times, as you like!
8) You may write a letter that goes more in-depth and post it to your Tumblr, DreamWidth, public google doc, or another platform, and then fill in the URL in the letterbox.
9) Fill out your offers. You must fill out at least three unique pairings you would be okay with writing and can choose one or two pairings to fill in per request. If you have any comments for the moderators, please put them
A BIG WARNING ABOUT USING ‘ANY PAIRINGS’: You may choose to offer ANY, but this means you could be matched to ANYONE who has signed up for the archive. Exchange participants beware of this, do NOT pick Any Pairings if you are not up for a challenge! The only thing we will allow you to limit it by is a category of relationship, eg Gen, F/F, M/M or M/F. Anything else cannot be controlled so chose this CAREFULLY.
10) Click submit! And welcome to the Mass Effect Rare Pair Exchange!
One of his comrades found an old camera and has been able to repair it. Pictures taken this day by this camera are the last memories of Preston’s friends he has.
Threw this together in about an hour. I’m on a creative kick right now and as soon as I saw hubedihubbe’s comic on my dashboard I KNEW I had to do this. Been a long time since I did any voice acting.
Reposting this out of spite. If cuddles and using your boyfriend as a pillow while you sleep because you’re shorter and he’s comfy is now forbidden, then kick me off this page if you must. I’m bitter and I refuse. I poured my heart and days of work into this, and I immortalized my kitty who passed away way too soon in the last panel. You can’t take this from me. Text of the original post from January 2017 below:
A Tamlen/ pavellan comic about familarity, comfort, love, pain, letting go, and finding back together again.
I’ve been working on this during the past 4 weeks, on and off between commissions, and it’s finally finished. I don’t know how much time I invested overall, and I’m not sure I want to know. This was a very personal project, one that has been on my drawing list for over a year, and one that’s become very dear to me ;A; Tamlen received a blanket as a parting gift from his mother when he left clan Lavellan, and it plays an important role in his story… in all the little scenes in between the big fights and dramatic moments that we don’t get to see in game, but that I love to imagine and play out in my head from time to time.

further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.
omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards
by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.
Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards
@femmefaramir this is some fucking galaxy brain level tags and im crying out of sheer horror
