Nominations
You can nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 relationships each. Both & and / relationships are allowed. Original Work and Creator’s Choice of Fandom are allowed. RPF (Real Person Fiction) is not allowed. Please disambiguate your relationship tags with the fandom name in parentheses. Incorrectly formatted nominations will be rejected.

Each relationship tag must specify which character you would like whumped or if you would like both whumped. Examples:
  • Aziraphale & Crowley (GO TV) (Hurt Crowley)
  • Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley (HP) (Both Hurt)
  • Castiel/Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester (SN) (All Hurt)

Solo characters nominations are allowed and should be nominated under relationships and disambiguated with the fandom name in parentheses. Make sure to include "hurt" before the character's name for clarity purposes. Example:
  • Solo: Hurt Sherlock Holmes (SH - ACD)

Crossovers must be nominated under Crossover Fandom and disambiguated with the fandom name in parentheses. Example:
  • Luke Skywalker (SW)/Steve Rogers (MCU) (Hurt Steve Rogers)

For more detailed formatting examples, check out this post.

Requests
During sign-ups, you may request 1-10 fandoms with 1-10 relationships per fandom. You will be allowed to request a fandom multiple times but this will not count as unique fandoms. You must request at least 3 unique fandoms for a guaranteed gift. Original Work requests will only count as 1 fandom. If you are unsure about whether a fandom counts as a unique fandom, feel free to comment on this post or email me about it. You may opt-in to art with the checkbox on the sign up form if you would welcome art as your only gift. You can also opt-in to art treats in the additional details box on your sign up.

You must also request at least one freeform from the limited freeforms (Angst, Character Death, Graphic Torture, Graphic Violence, Hurt/Comfort, Rape, Sickfic, Whump).

Archive Warnings are opt out, don’t forget to DNW any Archive Warning you do not wish to receive. Archive Warning DNWs cannot contradict your requested freeform(s).

DNWs must be in the optional details box to be enforceable, any DNWs in a linked letter will not be enforced. All DNWs must be reasonable, clear, and judgement-free. You cannot contradict your request with a DNW (ex. DNWing Rape after requesting the Rape freeform). Your DNWs cannot box in your creator (ex. DNW everything except Loki being stabbed). Any unreasonable/bad-faith DNW will not be enforced.

You are allowed to add an optional letter to your request, but the letter must be complete and viewable by the time assignments go out. Your recipient will not be obligated to wait for your letter to be complete and viewable after they receive their assignment. Make sure the letter is easy to access as well.

You may sign up with up to two accounts, but you cannot be matchable to yourself.


Offers
During sign-ups, you may offer 1-10 fandoms with 1-10 ships per fandom. You must also offer at least 1 freeform.

Matching will be done on fandom, relationship, and freeform. Please make sure you are matchable. Unmatchables will be emailed and have 24 hours to respond before their sign up is deleted. Please verify the email on your ao3 account is correct and active.


Assignment Requirements
Your assignment fill must be a minimum of 500 words or a clean sketch on unlined paper if your recipient has opted into art. You must include a requested fandom, ship, and freeform. The fill cannot include any DNWs.

The fill must also focus on whump. The requested hurt character(s) must be significantly hurt physically and/or emotionally.

Your fill must be newly created and a complete fanwork. It must also stand alone and cannot be a part of an existing series of connected fanworks. If you are creating a fill for OW, you cannot reuse character(s) you have featured in fanworks before. You cannot have multiple recipients for one fanwork.

AI generated fanworks of any kind are not allowed.


Defaulting/PHs
If you cannot complete your assignment, please default as soon as possible so that the request can be put out as a pinch hit. There will be no consequences for defaulting, but you will not go out as a pinch hit.

Pinch hits will be posted to dreamwidth and fills must meet all the minimum assignment requirements.


Treats
You do not have to be signed up to treat.

The treat does not need to meet the word-count/art minimum, but must meet all other requirements.

Treats will be opt-out. If you do not wish to receive a treat, please include that in your sign up. If you do wish to receive a treat, feel free to indicate that in your sign up and make sure your account is set to allow gifts.


Anonymous Period
During the anon period, do not post or talk about the fanwork you have posted. Do not put links to your social media in your fic until the anon period is over.


Gifts
If you receive a gift that does not meet the minimum requirements, please reach out to the mod. Otherwise, please comment on your gift! I will not be checking for comments, but please show your appreciation for your gift.

Make sure you read the rules and this post before you sign up.

A reminder that DNWs must be in your optional details box to be enforceable. Any DNWs that are in a linked letter will not be enforced. Archive Warnings are opt-out so you must DNW any Archive Warning you do not wish to receive. Your DNWs cannot contradict your requested fandom, relationship, and/or freeform(s). You can DNW something like "Stabbing" with your "Graphic Violence" request, but would not be able to DNW "On-Screen Violence" while requesting "Graphic Violence".

All DNWs must be reasonable, clear, judgement-free, and you cannot box in your creator with your DNWs. Any unreasonable/bad-faith DNW will not be enforced.

Matching will be done on 1 fandom, 1 relationship, and 1 freeform. Your creator will be required to create a fanwork that includes 1 fandom, 1 relationship, and 1 freeform from your requests and whump the requested "Hurt Character". Feel free to use the optional details box and/or your letter to tell them about your whump likes and/or provide optional prompts/ideas. You can also opt into additional freeforms or hurt characters in your optional details/letter, but opt-ins will not be guaranteed. If you are linking a letter in your sign-up, make sure the letter is complete by the time assignments go out!

If you have any questions or need any clarifications, feel free to comment on this post or email me at whumpexmod@gmail.com!

You may request/offer 1-10 fandoms with 1-10 relationships per request/offer. You will be allowed to request a fandom multiple times but this will not count towards unique fandoms.

You will be required to request/offer at least 1 of the 8 freeforms. You are not required to select the "Whump" freeform to receive whump, it is there in case you want to receive/write a type of whump that is not covered by the other freeforms. Remember to only request/offer a freeform if you are okay with writing/receiving that freeform on its own. You are free to opt-in to additional freeforms in the optional details box if you would like them in combination with another freeform, but you will not be guaranteed receiving the combination.

Archive Warnings are opt-out so please make sure to DNW any Archive Warning you do not wish to receive. Archive Warning DNWs cannot contradict your requested freeform(s).

DNWs must be in the optional details box to be enforceable, any DNWs in a linked letter will not be enforced. All DNWs must be reasonable, clear, and judgement-free.

Any unreasonable/bad-faith DNW will not be enforced.

Matching will be done on 1 fandom, 1 relationship, and 1 freeform. You can opt-in to receiving more then 1 requested relationship or freeform in your optional details box, but you will only be guaranteed receiving 1 of each.

Nomination Clarification

- Male General Who Returned/Male Childhood Friend he wants to marry (in love with Hostage Prince)/Hostage Prince General has to marry (OW) (Prince hurt)

I'm presuming this means the General wants to marry the Childhood Friend but the Childhood Friend is in love with the Hostage Prince and the General is being forced to marry the Hostage Prince? Could the nominator reword this to be clearer?
