There are just a few more days left to nominate. Nominations close on 6/14 at 8pm EDT.

We accidentally accepted "Jack Harkness/Other(s)" which we shouldn't have since "Other(s)" could technically be inferred to be Ianto which is not a rare ship. Could you please pick a more specific ship, and we'll replace it?

There are a couple nominations for "Star Wars - All Media Types". We ask that you please change your nomination to a more specific version.

rarepair_mod

Nominations are now open HERE.

- For the purpose of this fest, a rare pair will be defined as a relationship that has less than 200 COMPLETED works of 1000 words or greater on AO3.

- In previous rounds of this fest, eligibility was based on fic from any archive. That means we had to check both AO3 and FF.net and any single fandom archives that were brought to our attention. This year, we are only checking AO3. That said, if a relationship had been previously rejected due to being too big on FF.net or a different archive, they are still not eligible. Please do not abuse this. We are doing this in good faith. If we accept a ship that's large on a different archive, and it's brought to our attention, we will remove it.

- Each person can nominate five fandoms and six relationships per fandom.

- Nominated relationships can also include threesomes/moresomes.

- Crossover nominations are welcome. Please nominate them under the fandom "Crossover Fandom" and include in parenthesis the fandom for each individual in the pairing (ex. Harry Potter (Harry Potter)/Sherlock Holmes (BBC Sherlock)).

- Real person fiction (RPF) may be nominated with the following caveats:
a.) Nominated characters must be 18 or older.
b.) Living non-famous persons may not be nominated (for example, someone's wife or child).

Hey everyone. It's that time of year ago. We have a few changes from previous years.

We are lowering the rarity requirement from 250 to 200 COMPLETED works of 1000 words or greater on AO3.

In previous rounds of this fest, eligibility was based on fic from any archive. That means we had to check both AO3 and FF.net and any single fandom archives that were brought to our attention. This year, we are only checking AO3. That said, if a relationship had been previously rejected due to being too big on FF.net or a different archive, they are still not eligible. Please do not abuse this. We are doing this in good faith. If we accept a ship that's large on a different archive, and it's brought to our attention, we will remove it.

Treats will not go in a separate collection as they had in previous years but will now also be posted in the main collection.

Creators have been revealed! Thank you everyone for making this a successful year!

Please continue reading through the treat collection here and the main collection here if you have not already done so.

It seems that someone deleted their account and thus the fic that was written for this exchange, and because of this no default notice was sent to us.

This is due ASAP. No claiming needed. Just drop us an email if you're working on it please.

All works are in! Thank you everyone, especially our pinch hitters, without whom this wouldn't have been possible.

Works are now visible at the treat collection here and the main collection here. Please note that it may take a few minutes for AO3's system to reveal all the works and send out email notifications.

rarepair_mod

Assuming the last pinch hit is in on time (which it should be), the collections will be revealed in approximately one hour at 3pm EDT.

rarepair_mod

We have not heard from anyone for this. If you are working on this, please let us know asap. Thank you.

Due to having one last emergency pinch hit, we'll be delaying reveals for 24 hours. Reveals will happen at approximately 3pm EDT tomorrow assuming that this last pinch hit is in by then. We'll post a one hour warning. Thank you!

If there is anyone who has completed a gift, but has not received one, please let us know ASAP.

Please use the delay to get in any last minute edits and continue to post to the treat collection: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/rarepairfesttreats2016

We're good on the emergency pinch hit front. Thank you to everyone who responded and has/is writing. We're currently short four pinch hits, and we've waiting to hear back from them. If we don't hear anything by noon, they'll be sent as as emergency pinch hits.

The collections are currently set to be revealed at 3pm EDT, but will not be revealed until everyone who produced a gift has a gift. We'll let everyone know by approximately noon if there will be a delay. If there is a delay it will likely be for ~24 hours, and we will give a one hour warning before the collections are revealed.

In the mean time, please continue to write treats! Also as a reminder, treats should be posted to the treat collection here: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/rarepairfesttreats2016

It's now past the deadline that assignments were due. In approximately 30 minutes, we'll default those who haven't completed their assignment, and pinch hits will go out after that.

rarepair_mod

Assignments are due in just over 4 hours. (What time is that for me?).

We are also still in need of pinch hitters here. All remaining pinch hits will be due on the 26th.

We are also still in need of pinch hitters here. All remaining pinch hits will be due on the 26th.

As a reminder, the treat collection is located here.

You may continue to edit your work between the time assignments and due and the time they are revealed.

Stories that are obvious placeholders (random text, no text, stories under 1000 words, etc.) at the time assignments are due will be rejected. If you do not default by the deadline or if you only have an obvious placeholder up at the time assignments are due, your assignment will automatically go out as a for pinch hit, and you will not be able to participate in the next fest unless you produce a full length treat before signups for the next round start.

rarepair_mod

Assignments are due this coming Saturday the 20th. You can view the time here. As a reminder, no extensions will be given.

We are also still in need of pinch hits here. All remaining and future pinch hits will be due on the 26th.

rarepair_mod

A beta post has gone up at the support comm here.

Also there are just over three weeks left before assignments are due.

We are also still in need of pinch hitters here.

As a reminder this is a ship exchange not a gen exchange. As it says in the FAQs: this fest is to celebrate rare relationships (romantic and/or sexual). Unless the person you were assigned specifically says they are okay with receiving gen instead of a ship fic, then gen/pre-relationship stories are not acceptable fills.

We also still have a number of pinch hits up here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#!forum/rare-pair-pinch-hits
