Wait, what’s happening?
The Maximoff Fic Exchange! Do you like the Maximoff twins, be they in MCU, Cartoons or Comics? Then this is the fic exchange for you.
We’re an AO3-based fic exchange with a focus on Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, the characters from Marvel Comics, with a desire to increase the amount of fic for the fandom in a fun, inclusive and accessible setting and to do it without bashing other characters.
When is it happening?
The exchange is running from the 1st of June to the 31st of August, with a round-up period wrapping up on the 31st of October. You can see the full layout of the dates over Here!
Have you done this before? How do we know this isn’t going to fall apart?
We did this last year, and asked participants for advice on how to improve for this year. You can see the collection of fics from last year over Here!
So what are the rules?
There are three big ones:
- Prompts and fics should centre around one or both of the Maximoff twins in any of their canons.
- Fics should be at least 1000 words long, at a minimum – more is always welcome.
- We ask that no characters be bashed and all suitable warnings and triggers be tagged.
Other than those, though… just have fun!
So… can I write or prompt WandaVision?
Sure! Your fic should centre on at least one of the Maximoff twins, but if you want to write about relationships, canonical or otherwise, romantic or platonic, that’s 100% allowed within the exchange!
As we said, we want participants to have fun, provided you abide by the rules and fulfil the prompt(s) you claim you can write just about anything.
How do I participate?
Keep an eye on the blog! We’ll be announcing when Sign-Ups start (1st-9th of June) and when Claims start (10th June onwards). All the information can be found in the About and FAQ on the blog (links below) or on the profile for for the 2018 exchange (link also below).
I don’t want to prompt anything/have anything to prompt, can I still write a fic for one of the prompts?
That’s fine! We had a participant like that last year. Just make sure to let us know and be prepared to grab the prompt you want to fill before anyone else does – non-prompting ficcers get first dibs before the Claims as they don’t participate in prompts.
How do we get your attention?
You can contact us via the Askbox if you have only a short question, message us via tumblr IM if you want a brief conversation, or you can email us at maximoffficexchange@gmail.com if you want to discuss something that’s better explained that way.
You can also @ the blog or get our attention with #maximoffficexchange and #maximoffficexchange2018 if you want to make images or fanworks for existing fics, or share your fic-writing playlists with other participants!
