Oh!! Sounds fun and I ♥ things on AO3 & I'm a lover of all media-types - so kudos for including all sorts of stuff!!
A couple of questions for you:
Regarding #5, We will be accepting fanart, fanfiction, video and audio HOWEVER, it must be COMPLETELY original, nonrelated to any other entry. --- what about podfic? Usually it's recorded based on an already-written fic (although not always)
Regarding #6, Okay, limits! Fics must be at least 500 words, and vids must be at least 3 minutes. ---- is the vid length negotiable? most vid exchanges are around 1 minute, which I personally feel is roughly equivalent to about 1-2K words
*trots off to AO3 nominate some scifi & horror fandoms* :D
I can answer the question about 5! Audio includes both podfic and audio dramas. While you don't have to write the story, it does have to be a new story meant for the recipient, not podficcing an already existing story.
You'll have to wait for DarkSeraphim to come on for about 6, but she will probably be reasonable with it.
Hello! :D Well, SV is quite right about the podfics *nodsnods*. I should have included that earlier but my brain was a little scatterbrained.
As for 6...I have never done an exchange before, so I was a little unsure about vid length. I put down three mostly because it felt okay. But...vid length is negotiable. :) In fact...I believe I shall edit that piece of information. That is quite a good idea :) Thanks for bringing it up!
BTW, I was just advertising on Yuletide's com (something they allow). Blasters & Wands isn't actually affiliated with them, other then us being regular participants in it.
Four fandoms with up to four characters each. If you go to the nomination link it says how many.

(grrr stupid spam filters and the boss lady isn't on)
What sort of prompts are we supposed to be requesting/writing/etc for this exchange? Anything as long as it relates to sci-fi or fantasy? Can we take, say, a horror fandom and ask for a fantasy story with those characters?
How many characters can we request? How many should we be able to offer, per fandom?
Should anyone playing be able to write all three genres? Is this a matching criteria?
As long as the prompts are within the three genre's you can ask for anything you like. And yes, please feel free to mix and match! A fantasy story for a horror fandom or a sci fi for a fantasy fandom would be fun to see!
I would say though you should be able to write in at least one, or be able to touch on all three. I'm not saying you have to be an expert of course.
Once sign ups open, you will be able to request up to four fandoms, with four characters each. Of course, if you would like to request more, I think we can work something out :)
