The Temeraire Summer Exchange is back for another amazing year of fanworks! We are looking forward to seeing the creative output of this small but mighty fandom. The Ao3 collection is here; the collection profile contains some detailed information on schedule, event format, FAQs, etc. Below are some highlights!

Schedule:

Sign-ups open: June 1 Sign-ups close: June 18 Assignments sent out: June 23 Check-in: July 21 Posting deadline: August 7 Work reveals: August 10 Creator reveals: August 14

How does this work? The first step is nominating the characters or pairings you’d like to see in the exchange. You can do that here. This step is optional if you are happy with what others have nominated already!

The second step is signing up. Use the sign-up form in the collection to do this! You are required to request and offer a minimum of one character or one pairing. You must also select whether you would like to receive or offer fanart, fanfiction, photomanip, or both.

After signups, the participants will be hand-matched to each other based on what they offered and requested and assignments will go out.

Gifts must be posted to the Temeraire Summer 2021 AO3 collection by August 7. They will appear as anonymous gifts for the recipient. Works will be made available to read on August 10, with creator names still hidden. On August 14, all creators will be revealed.

What are the minimum requirements for participation? For writers, a fic with a minimum of 500 words. For artists, a nice/cleaned sketch on unlined paper. A photomanip/moodboard should be substantially original. Please use your discretion – and reach out to the mod team if you have questions!

If you have any further questions which aren’t answered here or on the Ao3 collection’s FAQ page, please don’t hesitate to reach out! You can send us an ask here, or email temerairesummer@gmail.com

Laurence: Aren't you going to say "I told you so"?

Tharkay: What would be the point in that?

Laurence: Oh, so you're saying that you're going to hang on to this and throw it at me at some future, more personally beneficial moment?

Tharkay: I don't see the point in wasting it now, do you?

Our collection went live last night – and with that, the 2020 Temeraire Summer Exchange officially draws to a close!

Thank you so much to all of our participants, as well as all of those who have signal boosted, shared their excitement, or visited the Ao3 collection to peruse the gorgeous works (which you can do here). We’re thrilled with how this event turned out!

We’ll see you next year!

I have sworn that I will do very, very foolish things.

Maybe I sometimes say things that are selfish and self-centred - but that’s just who I am.

Tharkay: Don’t be intimidated, Tenzing! Try to imagine him in his underwear!

Tharkay: ...oh no he’s hot!

Laurence: I'll protect you, fair maiden!

Jane Roland: Sorry, neither.

[incorrect-temeraire-quotes]

Tharkay: If you're talking about Napoleon and Lien, which I assume you are-

Laurence: Actually, I wasn't referring to-

Tharkay: -then how about this? Whoever's out there that shouldn't be out there, let's just get on these very effective fire-breathing war machines, and go out and blast them into oblivion.

Laurence: Because that's not who we are! Since when did we go around blasting people into oblivion?

Tharkay: Don't worry, Arkady. He doesn't speak for us.

Iskierka: *sets a ship on fire* Woohoo!

Tharkay: Or them, either.

Ladies do not start fights...but they can FINISH THEM.

Lily, probably

Tharkay: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.

Laurence: Yes. Sorry.

Tharkay: No, no, by all means, let's keep this suicidal.

Granby: You're a top rate fire dragon. I like your spark.

Iskierka: ...He likes my spark!

[incorrect-temeraire-quotes]

Tharkay: When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first. That way, in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side.

Laurence: That doesn't mean you're deep or anything.

[incorrect-temeraire-quotes]

Tharkay: What's the matter with you two then?

Granby: Nothing.

Laurence: Nothing.

Tharkay: Well, obviously something. Ooh, hang on a minute, I've just realised! I don't care.
