Signups are now open here.

This is the first year we're including art as an option. As we are unsure of how many artists will sign up, we ask that you don't request only art as there is a high chance we won't be to match you on it.

If you aren't familiar with the signup process and need some help, there is a walkthrough here. The only difference is that this year we've added a medium field so you must choose if you're requesting/offering fic and/or art.

ETA: There is sometimes a bug with signups where all the nominated pairings in a fandom will not show up in the drop down list. If you experience this problem, please copy/paste the tag exactly as it is in the tagset and your signup should go through fine. Also remember that if you select "Any relationship", it is only the relationships that have been nominated in the tagset, not any relationship in the given fandom.

This will be a dumb question but I've never done one of these before. So, you DO have to request three fandoms, but it says you MAY offer 3-10 fandoms. However, it seems that you MUST offer at least three as it will not accept when I enter only one. Is this correct? If so, I wait until the requests are up then look for one in the fandom I can write for? I honestly don't know a lot of the fandoms that are listed here and only write for one of them. Thanks for your help.

Yes, to signup on AO3 you have to both offer and request the specified number of fandoms. If you can't offer the minimum, you're welcome to browse the letters or the requests when they're visible after assignments go out. You may also want to keep an eye on pinch hit list.
