- 1-10 offers with 1 Fandom and 1-20 Relationships each
- Matching will be on Fandom + Relationship, not medium.

Gifts and treats:
- Gifts must contain at least one requested fandom and relationship and respect the DNWs. Medium is fic or art and up to the creator.
- Recipients are free to opt into a medium other than fic or art in their sign-up to receive it as their assigned gift, but whether the gift meets the minimum is between them and the creator.
- Creation minimum for assigned gifts is 300 words for fic or a 500px clean sketch on unlined paper for art.
- Treats have no creation minimum and can be in any medium, not just fic and art. Treats must still respect the DNWs.
- You may post treats/gifts with no recipient to the collection.
- Ironic as it would be, AI-generated works are not permitted in this exchange.
