And we’re finally live! (You may notice that the email you received notifying you of your gifts mentioned things staying anonymous for a week. Unfortunately, AO3 didn’t like the way I did that so it all got revealed. As such, it’s open season.) 11 new bottom!Derek fics (mostly Sterek) are now posted for your perusal. Explore them, share them, but most of all? Enjoy!

[bottomderekficexchange]

PSA: Fics will likely be revealed Friday

Due to a few missing assignments we have had to push back reveal day! But no worries our pinch hitters are working actively to try to get them done so they can be revealed by Friday! Thank you for your patience!

Brief delay on posting

Fics were due last night with the hope of getting them posted today. Sadly, we're still missing several fics so if you've already turned yours in? Great! You're awesome and met your deadline and now you have time to revise as needed. If you didn't? Please contacts the mods through either our askbox or at Bottomderekficexchange@gmail.com ASAP. If you just need a little bit more time, we can do that. If you don't think you can get it done? We'll need to arrange a pinch hitter. Please let us know as soon as you can!

[bottomderekficexchange]

PSA: CHECK YOUR EMAILS

If you have not yet contacted me about your fic you need to do so ASAP!

[bottomderekficexchange]

PSA: FICS ARE DUE TODAY

FICS ARE DUE TODAY!!!! SO FAR I BELIEVE THAT I DONT HAVE A SINGLE ONE! PLEASE EMAIL TO CONFIRM TURN INS. Bottomderekficexchange@gmail.com!

[bottomderekficexchange]

NOTICE!

Fics are due July 23rd! If you can turn them in earlier that would be great but writers have until July 23rd.

[bottomderekficexchange]

Assignments have been sent!

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the exchange! Assignments have now been sent out and should be waiting in your inbox. (You can also access it from the "Assignments" submenu from your AO3 Dashboard.)

If you didn't manage to get signed up for the exchange, you can still help out.

We're making a list of beta readers to be available (contact bottomderekficexchange@gmail.com).

Should someone default on their assignment, we'll need pinch hitters. (We will post to this page about them and they will be first-come-first-served.)

Additionally, you're welcome to look through our prompts here, write for one of them (post it to the BottomDerekxchange1 collection and gifted to the prompter) and give it as a treat. The gift of bottom!Derek is one that keeps on giving (...and taking. ^_~) We are particularly looking for people to write treats who would like to write something other than Sterek as that is pretty well-represented.

Feel free to contact us with any questions/concerns.

hey, submissivederekhale here! I wanna participate, what can I do?

Mostly we’re looking for people to participate in the exchange, and for betas to be available. (You can email bottomderekficexchange@gmail.com with “beta” somewhere in your subject line to offer your services there.) Later on, we may ask for pinch hits (if people have to drop out for some reason, their assigned recipient will still need to receive a fic).

Beyond that, there’s nothing we need. However, if you were to do something like make a post of bottom!Derek prompts and link us up to it, we’d be happy to reblog it here to help inspire the people signing up who are finding themselves staring wide-eyed at the form because how do you narrow down how you want your Derek to bottom to only 2-3 things? (I also suppose we could use graphics?)

And if there’s anything else we’re missing that you think you could help us with? Just ask. ^_^

[bottomderekficexchange]

I haven't participated in a fic exchange before. Can you detail the tag nominations, how to sign up, and what details to include when signing up? Or does that all come later? sorry if this silly.

Not silly at all! Okay, so, first be logged into Archive of Our Own. If you don't have an account already, sign up for one. It takes less than a day to get an account. Then you'll go to this link.

Pick a relationship from the first list. (Contact us to have one added that isn't already listed.) Pick 1-4 options on list 2. (The more you pick, the less chance you have of matching with someone, but don't let that discourage you.) Click the "Any Additional Tag" box only if you truly do not care what you get. (You can also contact us to have additional tags added there, but the less we have, the better chance we have of people matching.)

The Prompt URL box is for if you want to have additional details somewhere. In other exchange challenges, it's pretty common to write a "Dear Author" letter on tumblr or Livejournal where you expand on what you'd really like. However, you can simply do this in the Description box. Give at least one idea for what you'd like to read. It doesn't need to be extremely fleshed out, but it does need to give your writer an idea about how kinky and graphic you're comfortable with. If you have triggers they need to avoid, list those. This information will be emailed to your author when assignments go out, so direct it to them. What do you want your fic to be?

You'll repeat this with request #2, and can also do a request #3 by clicking the "Add another request?" button. Please stick to one pairing per request, though you can use the same relationship for multiple requests.

Onto the offers, you'll need to list what you'll comfortable writing. So, choose the pairings and tags you're comfortable writing together. (Clicking the "Any Relationship" or "Any Additional Tag" boxes means that you're okay writing anything at all.) Because, for example, you may be comfortable writing Fluff or Sub Derek with certain pairings and not others, you can do this process up to 5 times. The more offers you have, the better your chance for matching.

In the description box for offers, list anything that may help us match you such as your triggers or your preferences so we can do our best for matching.

Then? Click submit. In theory, you're done at that point until assignments go out, but if you do have further questions, contact us.

Bottom Derek Fic Exchange Quick&Dirty Tag Nominations

In preparation (*wink*) for tomorrow's sign-ups, we need you guys to do a quick bunch of nominations for our TAG SET.  It's all well and good to share Bottom Derek love, but if you're wanting pegging, we want to make sure it's written by someone else who wants to give you that. And also that any pairings you want to see are available as options. This will ensure better matching. You can nominate up to 10 pairings and up to 20 freeforms (like knotting, double penetration, etc.). A list of kinks can be found here, though it's a little outdated and not quite true to what the kinks are called now.

Please spread this like Derek Hale's thighs! Sign ups will start fresh tomorrow.

[bottomderekficexchange]

EDIT: The sign ups will have to be redone starting tomorrow April 10th. The first form ended up being too confusing. So if you have filled it out, you will have to refill it out tomorrow after it has been fixed. I’m very sorry, but thank you to everyone for their patience. This will hopefully run very smoothly after this!

This is an exchange of Bottom Derek fics. This exchange will consist of you writing a fic (or maybe even fics) for someone based on prompts they have provided for you, along with stories being written based for your own requests!

Sign Ups: Start Today! End April 24th

*An Ao3 account must be provided to in order to participate in this exchange

*2-3 prompts must be given at the time up of entry (please be extremely detailed in what you do and do not want!

*When you email please include both your Tumblr and your Ao3 name so it is easier to keep track of prompts, requests, etc!

Fics are due: July 23rd

*Any questions will be answered on by email on on the Tumblr Bottomderekficexchange2015

Hello!

Hi everyone!

This is in regards to the bottom!derek fic exchange clearly. I have received numerous emails telling me how confusing the sign up form is! and because of this I am currently working on fixing it and I will be extending the deadline date. I’m extremely sorry if you have emailed me and have not received a reply. I am currently working on that too

Much love!

Clarissa:)
