Unsent Letters signups will close a little under a day from now, at March 9th, 11:59PM UTC (countdown). If you are located somewhere the clocks have recently changed, do note that the closing time may now be different where you are!

This is a good time to update any WIP requests, link your Dear Writer letters, or check that you are matchable on offers. All requests are visible at the Requests Summary page, or at the app.

Best of luck!

Tag Set | Signup Form

• You may request 3-10 fandoms and offer 3-10 fandoms, with at least 1 relationship and 1 epistolary type in each request and offer.
• Requesting or offering the same fandom more than once is fine, as long as your overall signup meets the 3 unique fandom requests/3 unique fandom offers requirement.

There is a known AO3 bug where typing into the box does not make the relationship show up in the dropdown. In that case, please copy and paste the relationship from the tagset, exactly as it appears there; this should save. If you still encounter issues, please let me know in a comment or by email or PM, and I can manually add it to your sign-up after sign-ups close.

Signups will be open until Mar 7, 11:59PM UTC (countdown).



Some notes on DNWs:

• If you routinely DNW 1st or 2nd person POV, please consider waiving or clarifying the DNW (e.g. 'DNW 1st/2nd POV when outside of epistolary sections') as epistolary fic frequently uses these POVs.
  
• Please ensure your DNWs do not conflict with your signup. For instance, do not DNW a relationship or epistolary category you request.
  
• If you receive an assignment where the recipient's DNWs contradict the signup, the signup takes priority. If the DNW is the only relationship or epistolary category you matched on, please contact me for a new assignment.
