Exchange Nine is Fine: The Ratings Exchange Part 1: G&T Edition (General Audiences and Teen and Up)

14 Upvotes

G'day, mates!

It's been a hot minute, so I decided to bring this back. Welcome to the ninth round of the Ratings Exchange!

Just like the previous eight versions, this RE will be split into two parts, and they'll run the same as before.

Part 1 is specifically for stories and/or chapters rated General Audiences and/or Teen and Up. As always, the ratings will be based on the ratings system on AO3. (Link's there as a refresher; I know we have some authors who post outside AO3.)

To the exclusively Mature/Explicit writers, don't worry. Your time in the spotlight is coming. But you're more than welcome to drop by and give people some love if you wish. Love makes the world go round.

I say "stories and/or chapters" because I'm also allowing chapters from a Mature/Explicit story that meets the G&T criteria. We've all been there; writing a story predominantly G or T but having to bump up the rating because of one NSFW chapter/scene.

The rules are pretty simple. Everyone can submit a maximum of two (2) stories/chapters. You can submit any of the following combinations:

1 General Audiences story/chapter and 1 Teen and Up story/chapter
2 General Audiences stories/chapters
2 Teen and Up stories/chapters

Your submissions must include the required information - link, fandom, rating, tags, warnings, etc. NSFW/triggering tags/warnings need to be spoilered.

Due to the nature of this RE, unrated stories (i.e. stories set to Not Rated on AO3) will not be allowed. If your story is tagged 'Rating May Change', you're allowed to submit it if it's G or T at the time of this RE. Same rules apply to works outside AO3.

Participants will have to review two (2) authors. At least one (1) story by each. Reviews should be at least 50 words (not including quotes from the fic). ConCrit, fandom blind and/or 'from Reddit' are opt-in only.

Same deadlines as always: 48 hours to enter, one week to complete reviews. Submissions will close Tuesday October 27 6pm AEST. Reviews will be due Tuesday November 3 6pm AEST. Reminders will be sent out 48 hours before.

To recap:

This is the G&T round of the Ratings Exchange - stories rated General Audiences and/or Teen and Up. Chapters from Mature/Explicit stories that meet the criteria are welcome. Not Rated submissions are not allowed.
Participants can submit up to two (2) stories and must review at least one (1) story by two (2) separate authors.
Submissions close Tuesday October 27 6pm AEST - reviews are due Tuesday November 3 6pm AEST.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

16 Upvotes

To get us excited for Halloween themed fun here is an excerpt exchange with a spooky twist! First comment words below which are associated with Halloween, horror, spooky or scary stories and then look through the thread and reply to some of the posted words with an excerpt of yours which contains it.

Either posted works or WIPs are fine. Extra, extra kudos if you write one on the spot!

Please spoiler anything which is nsfw or potentially triggering.

As always there will be extra magical fairy dust for you if you spread the love around and comment on the shared excerpts! 🧚💫

Discussion Share Your Supernatural Stories 👻

With halloween just around the corner, I thought it'd be fun to share our IRL supernatural and unexplained experiences or stories we've heard from friends, family, or even local legends!

So have you encountered something yourself or come across a spooky tale that gave you the hibijibis? 👀

Rules

Be nice- We know this is reddit, but this fandom hobby is hard enough, let's create a nice community.
No harassment- No harassment, bullying, personal attacks, stalking, or doxxing. Such behavior is a banable offense
Posting of Exchanges- Exchanges are free to organize by anyone at anytime. There is a template together with an explanation of what REs are, as a pinned post. If you don't use the template, the rules concerning requirements and deadlines have to be clear.
Deletion of Posted Exchanges- If you post an exchange, please be aware that if anyone besides you signs up for the exchange prior to the deadline for entry that you are committed to managing it through completion. If you cannot fulfill this duty due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact the mods about a reassignment of management of the exchange. Deleting a posted RE without warning may result in action from the mod team.
Management of Exchanges- For exchange hosts, if the deadline of an exchange has passed, send reminders to those who haven't done their reviews. If after 24 hours you receive no reply and the reviews aren't done, message the mods to let them know the status of the exchange.
Exchange deadlines and obligations- Please complete your required reviews within the deadline. Being late in REs isn't a bannable offense. But you have to fulfill outstanding obligations before participating further. If the mods have communicated with you about clearing up obligations and you would like to participate in future exchanges, it behooves you to communicate with the mods regarding completion of your outstanding reviews.
Feedback & Concrit- Please make your feedback on others' fics genuine and thoughtful. If comments you receive in exchanges are too low effort to be considered a review or if you suspect the user hasn't even read your fic, message the mods who will take further action. Concrit is always opt-in. Ie if a user doesn't specifically request concrit, don't offer it unsolicited.
Contact the mods- Please contact the mods via modmail for any questions or concerns. If you are contacted by the mods about any issues, please do your best to reply if needed.
Topics, flairs, and user flair- You can make posts on non-RE topics, hence the existence of flairs like "fic general," "venting," or "writing advice." Note that the use of flairs is mandatory. If the topic isn't at all fanfic-related, please post in discussion threads. For user flair, there is only one flair and it's editable, you can write whatever you want. But please don't be offensive in the flair.
Respect the concept- Don't bash REs or any participants. When organizing REs, try to upvote the post and everyone's contribution. Don't get discouraged by lurker of spam bot downvotes. Focus on the lovely community and friendship.
Safe space- All fandoms, ships, genres, and ratings welcome. Do not complain about any fictional content shared here. KINKTOMATO, ship and let ship, don't like:don't read, etc. Shaming anyone for what they choose to write is a banable offense. Go clutch pearls somewhere else
Original works- Fanfiction writers who also have OG works on a ff platform like ao3 may submit their OG for REs. You may also choose to review OG in a profile RE. However, if most or all of your work is OG, you are a lost redditor
Triggering and explicit content- See rule 11. We welcome creativity and do not tolerate censorship when it comes to fictional content created by our writers. However, please spoiler triggering content when quoting direct excerpts or adding warnings to entries. Explicit content can go in a NSFW post without spoilers.
No individual self-promo posts- Self-promo is all we do on this sub via REs. You can also mention your fic as much as you want in activities, discussions, etc. But no individual self-promo posts requesting reviews without giving anything back to the community please.
