This is the
2012 Crossover Exchange
Sign-Up Post
Sign-ups will be open until 11pm November 1st (New York time).
Copy and paste the form into an email, fill it out and send it to xover.exchange@gmail.com. Your email subject line should be "[Your LJ Name] SIGN-UP". There is also a surveymonkey survey that must be filled out.
This year, we’re trying to simplify the sign up process, so the form may look a little different to what you’re used to filling in. When listing dislikes, keep in mind this is a multifandom exchange that is open to gen, het, m/m and f/f slash. If you dislike a particular genre, a particular character or a particular ship, please DO NOT wax poetic about your dislike. A simple “no slash, please”, “no mpreg” or “nothing starring Audrey Parker” is all that’s needed. We reserve the right to edit unnecessarily vitriolic sign ups; please don’t make extra work for us. Thanks!
