Final and hopefully last notice of delay: the SSR Confidential archive will now open at noon my time/4pm EST. And that one I'm confident about! Once again, apologies for the delays, but we'll get this show on the road soon, and I'm really looking forward to sharing all of this with you. :)

There is a problem with an assignment that needs to be fixed before the archive can be opened, so the archive will not open tonight as planned. Right now, I'm planning to open it when I get up, probably somewhere around 8am AK time/noon EST.

I am very sorry about the delay! But I expect we'll be able to go live in the morning with no issues. *fingers crossed*

And this is going to be AWESOME. Seriously, I'm so excited. We have gen, F/M, F/F, and M/M; we have fic, art, and vids; we have long fics and short fics and everything in between. This is going to be a delightful AC fanworks bonanza!

The official SSR Confidential deadline is 11:59 p.m. tonight, Alaska time (countdown timer!). Basically this means that if it's still June 1 anywhere in the world, you're probably good. I'm not going to be defaulting people on the dot of midnight, either; I'm going to wait 'til morning, and then see what I have and what needs to go out to pinch hit, so you'll have a slight grace period as well.

If you are going to be late but are confident that you can finish your assignment in time, please send me a PM or email me!

Also, comments to this post are screened, if you'd like to contact me that way.

The archive will be opened on June 8 (possibly a bit earlier if everything gets in ahead of time!). This is to allow time for pinch hits and extensions.

.... And treats! If you would like to make a treat for someone (note: this is 100% fine even if you defaulted or dropped out, and you do not have to be a participant to create treats!), all the requests are visible here. There are no minimum length/size requirements for treats; however, you should try to observe your recipient's likes and dislikes just as for a regular assignment.

Pinch hits, if we have any, will be posted to the LJ and DW communities tomorrow, and will be first come, first served.

This is a modly reminder that your fanworks are due in a little less than 2 weeks! The deadline is June 1 at midnight.

Don't forget there is also a post for offering beta services, if you are either looking for a beta or want to offer.

No check-in is required, and comments to this post are NOT screened. But, if you like, feel free to use the comments to talk about how it's going in very general terms (remember that your gifts are anonymous until creator reveals, so you don't want to give away what you're working on!), commiserate with each other, etc. Just in case you feel like screaming about UNCOOPERATIVE WORDS, complaining about how difficult it is to find information on 1940s toothbrushes, squeeing about how you finally got that sex scene working, etc.

Assignments are out! Check your email! Who's excited??? I'M EXCITED!

Please contact me (via PM, or email me at layla@ravenschildren.com) ASAP if you have any problems with your assignment or did not receive one. I am also screening comments to this post so you can use this post to contact me also.

Remember, you only have to create fanworks for ONE of your recipient's requested characters or relationships, and you do not have to make fanworks for any character or relationships that you didn't offer. Some of you only matched on one. That's okay! Even if everything else in their request is a NOTP for you, you only have to write/draw/vid that one! (Obviously "don't bash your recipient's other OTPs" goes without saying ...)

I'm going to put up an artist/vidder resources post shortly, which will include links to screencaps etc for artists, suggestions for anonymous places to host your art or vids since your gift will be anonymous at first, and that kind of thing.

Your stories, art, or vids are due by June 1. May 1 is the "no fault" dropout deadline. After that, you can still drop out, but you might have to complete a treat or something to participate next year (depending on how nice the mod is feeling and how many last-minute dropouts there are). Pinch hits, should they occur, will be announced here and handed out on a "first come, first served" basis.

Making treats (i.e. gifts for people you weren't assigned to, or extra gifts for your recipient) is 100% fine and encouraged! It is probably a good idea to do your assignment first, however.

Happy writing/arting/vidding! I hope you like your assignment and have fun. Contact me with questions or problems.

I've done all the assignment matching and I'm currently waiting to hear back from AO3 on a support question (there appears a bug that's preventing me from saving one person's assignment). However, I have thought of a couple of workarounds if I don't hear back from them in a timely fashion.

In any case, I have a match for all 27 participants, and assignments should be going out this evening or tomorrow morning!

Reminder: SSR Confidential signups will close on Saturday, April 2 at 11:59 p.m. Alaska time.

View a countdown timer.

You can see all the requests here. There are a wide variety of characters and pairings represented so far -- but of course it is would be fabulous to see more! Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far, and signal-boosted in various places; it's most appreciated.

You can edit your signup right until signups close, but that will be your last chance to do so, as assignments will be made shortly afterwards!

If you wrote a request letter to your fanworks creator, link to it here! This part is optional, but it's very helpful for people who want to make you treats. Including your AO3 name (if different from your LJ name) and your requested characters/relationships is also helpful. You can copy-paste this text snippet and fill in your info if it helps:

Once I open the signup form on Friday, I won't be able to make additional changes to it without clearing and therefore losing all the signups (I think). Right now, here's how it stands:

• Requests: 2-8 characters and/or relationships
• Offers: 4-12 characters and/or relationships
• Fanworks options:
- Art (Drawn/Digital)
- Art (Graphics)
- Fic
- Vids

Sound good? Anyone have any concerns you want to raise? If there's anything you're concerned about, anything you think I should add or change, let me know in the comments. If not, then we are good to go at 12:01 on Friday morning. :D

Tuesday, March 22 is the last day to nominate characters or relationships in SSR Confidential. Nominations will close in the general vicinity of 11:59 p.m. Alaska time. Here is a countdown timer.

A complete list of all nominated characters and relationships is at this link. (ETA: New ones will be added at the bottom of the tag set as they come in.)

Signups will open Friday!

ETA: Wow, it would be super useful if I included a link to the tag set too, huh? *facepalm*

I've made a few minor edits to the SSR Confidential rules:

- I've added vids as an option for type of fanwork (the minimum is 1 minute of vid)
- The art minimums have been adjusted somewhat. The minimum for icons has been bumped up to 10 (from 6) to bring it more in line with the amount of effort required to make the other items. Gifsets are also an option now: minimum of 2.

I would welcome input from artists and vidders on whether they think these minimums are fair! I'm a vidder and so I know how much time it takes to make one minute of vid, but you also need a certain amount of vid to make a decent gift.

Tag set nominations are proceeding smoothly! At this point I have wrangled all the nominated tags. Under the cut is a complete list of characters and relationships nominated so far.

Nominations are open at the SSR Confidential tag set!

You can nominate up to four characters and relationships (total) that you would like to request or offer in the exchange. (In the exchange itself you will be able to request up to six, and offer more. Nominations, however, are capped at four since a basic set of characters and relationships is already available.)

Before nominating, check the tag set to see if the ones you want are already there. If so, you do not have to nominate anything (it isn't a qualifying step in order to participate).

If you nominate relationships, please enter them in the "Character" field and name them like this: "Relationship: Character's Full Name & Character's Full Name" (for gen) or "Relationship: Character's Full Name/Character's Full Name" (for ship). For example: "Relationship: Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli". You can include more than two characters in a relationship, and crossovers with other fandoms as long as at least one of them is an Agent Carter character. Please do not mix gen and ship in one relationship (for example, "Relationship: Peggy Carter/Howard Stark/Edwin Jarvis" is fine, but not "Relationship: Peggy Carter/Howard Stark & Edwin Jarvis").

Nominating characters should be self-explanatory. Use their full names, if known. You can only nominate Agent Carter characters, not characters from other fandoms or other parts of the MCU (although crossover characters can be part of relationships).

Let me know if you have any questions or need help with the form.

Here are the preliminary rules and schedule for SSR Confidential:

http://archiveofourown.org/collections/SSR_Confidential_2016/profile

We will be allowing people to make their choices from a list of characters and relationships (gen or ship). You can choose characters, relationships, or both. Regardless, you are only guaranteed to match on one item from your list.

Feel free to let me know if there's anything that's confusing or something you think needs to be added. The rules can continue to be tweaked until signups open next week.

The tag set is not open for nominations yet, but it's here:

http://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/1153

A basic set of characters and relationships will come pre-filled; I haven't quite finished with those yet, but it'll contain the main characters and the most popular relationships. You only need to add more if there are ones you want that aren't in the list already. When nominations are open, you'll be able to nominate up to four.

YAY SO EXCITED! \o/

Hello, and welcome! This is a new fanworks exchange (fic or art) for Agent Carter. All characters and pairings are welcome! You can also follow us on [livejournal.com profile] ssrconfidential or [tumblr.com profile] ssrconfidential for updates.

Tentative schedule:

- March 13-20: Pairing nominations.
- March 22-31: Signups.
- June 1: Fanworks due.
- June 8: Archive goes live.
- June 15: Reveals.

Rules in brief:

- Matching will be done on the basis of character relationship/pairing.
- Relationships may be nominated as both "&" (gen) and "/" (ship) versions, i.e. Peggy Carter & Dottie Underwood and Peggy Carter/Dottie Underwood are considered different relationships for matching purposes.
- Minimum 1000 words or 1 finished piece of art.
- This exchange will be run through AO3, so you'll need an AO3 account to participate. If you don't have one, you can get on the waiting list on AO3's website. (Usually it takes a few days.)
