Happy Valentine’s day, everyone! Please be sure to thank your writers.

My Slashy Valentine 2020
 
From the Years of the Trees through the Fourth Age – it’s time once again to make your Tolkien FPS fanfic dreams come true… Have you always wanted to read a certain pairing or scenario, but couldn’t write it yourself? Do you want to have it written for you – specifically and especially for your own sweet self - and share your own gift in exchange?
If so, you're in luck because it is time for My Slashy Valentine! The exchange focuses on the Elves, Men, Dwarves, Valar and Maiar of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. Maybe it’s Gildor and Glorfindel you love, or perhaps Boromir-on-Theodred strikes your fancy... or maybe Lúthien and Thuringwethil is your OTP? From the Years of the Trees to the Fourth Age, from sultry tales of the Silmarillion to romances in the Ring Wars – spread the word, recruit your friends and fellow authors, and have some fun!

  • Assignments to be distributed by December 22nd
  • Deadline for first time participants: January 31st
  • Deadline for veteran participants: February 7th
  • Archive opens: February 14th, 2020

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I ask for femslash?
 
Yes! We had our first femslash stories during the 2013 My Slashy Valentine swap, and we'd love to have you join us.
 
Q: I see a main focus on Elves, Men, Valar and Maiar. What about Dwarves and Hobbits?
 
A: In previous swaps there was less emphasis on Dwarves and Hobbits, but due to the release of the Hobbit movies, that's starting to change. We're happy to try and accommodate any request, though it is dependent on having writers able to fill these requests. You can help this process by spreading the word to your fellow Dwarf and Hobbit writers.
 
Q: I just received my assignment and it fits perfectly into part of a series I've been working on. Can I use it anyway?
 
A: We'd prefer your story to be original and created solely for your recipient, but so long as your submission fits the assignment you received, can be read and understood as a standalone, and it's new and unreleased, then go ahead.
 
Q: Yikes! I've been working on my story, but there was a family emergency and I don't think I'll make the deadline. What should I do?
 
A: Let us know! The Slashy Swap team have families too and understand that emergencies sometimes happen. The sooner you tell us, the easier it will be for us to come to a mutually agreeable solution.
 
Q: Unfortunately, the emergency has turned into something longer term and I won't be able to finish my story after all.
 
A: Again, please let us know as soon as possible so we can find a replacement to finish your assignment.
 
Q: I signed up for the previous exchanges, but never turned anything in. Can I still participate?
 
A: No. It simply isn't fair to those who met their obligations, or to the person who didn't get a story. If it was under special circumstances, reach out to the mods and we will review your case.
 
Q: Do I need to have my work beta read? I don't have one!
 
A: While we will not strictly enforce the use of a beta, we strongly encourage it. At the very least, please proof read and run a spell and grammar check. If you need help finding a beta, let us know and we'll direct you to some beta resources. Remember, you're writing a gift for someone, so make your story as perfect as it can be.
 
Q: HELP! I received the worst assignment in the world! What were you thinking? I can't write this!
 
A: It was likely an oversight. Please contact us and we will do what we can to find another assignment that is more to your taste and ability. If you already confirmed you would accept it, we can't make promises, but we'll do the best we can to help.
 
 
NOTE: In some rare instances, it may not be possible for a request to be filled to the requestor's exact specifications. This may occur if no author is willing to write the elements in the request (some examples are BDSM, fetish, rape, MPREG, or character death). In this case, the participant will be asked to revise their request so that we'll be able to match it.
