Hello hello! Last year was busy, but your mod has gotten enough information about their summer to be able to present a tentative schedule for this year's Wingfic Exchange!

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE for WINGFIC EX 2026

Noms Open: Sat July 18
Noms Close/Signups Open: Sat July 25
Signups Close: Sat August 1
Assignments Due: Sat Aug 29
Work Reveals: Sat Sept 5
Creator Reveals: Sat Sept 12

(deadlines will probably be like 6pm east coast usa/New York time)


Matching will be on Character, Medium (Fic/Art), and a single Freeform Tag.

As in previous years, the Character nominations will be solo characters only, and the nominated character will be winged if they are the character you creator chose to create a work about (relationships may be mentioned in optional details, but / relationships are not guaranteed).

All Freeform Tags must be wing-related.

Works revealed!

Please enjoy the many wonderful works about wings! Please also do your best to leave a nice comment on your gift(s) in a reasonable time period ("Thank you for this gift!" is a sufficient comment on its own). You may continue submitting treats; the collection isn't going to close!

Thank you to all our wonderful creators, especially the pinch-hitters! We couldn't do this without you.

The work due date has passed! Almost everyone has gifts, but we do have a post-deadline pinch hit. If you are not on this list and do not yet have a gift, don't worry; that means your creator has an extension.

All post-deadline pinch hits are due on Friday Sept 13th at 6pm EDT. They may be fulfilled by either a fic (min 500 words) or a piece of art (min clean sketch).

Please comment here (comments are screened) or email wingficexchange@gmail.com to claim a pinch hit. Include your ao3 username as well as the number/username of the pinch hit you are claiming.

PDPH #1: CLAIMED

This Pinch Hit is due at the same time as regular assignments (Sept 8 at 6pm EDT). It may be fulfilled by either a fic (min 500 words) or a piece of art (min clean sketch).

Please comment here (comments are screened) or email wingficexchange@gmail.com to claim a pinch hit. Include your ao3 username as well as the number of the pinch hit you are claiming.

Pinch Hit #2: CLAIMED

Thank you all for your delightful signups!

We have one unmatchable participant, who will be emailed at the email associated with their ao3 account and asked to make themself matchable within the next 24hrs. If they are not able to make themself matchable in this time, their sign-up will be deleted so that assignments can go out by tomorrow night.

The following fandoms have been nominated without characters. Please nominate characters if you would like to sign-up with these fandoms! This exchange requires characters in the sign-ups.

The Magnificent Seven (1960)
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

If these fandoms linger for another 48hrs, I may reject them to keep the mod interface cleaner.

Nominations are open at the tagset! (Is this a little early? Yes, but that's fine! <3) Have fun nominating!

Remember:

• Nominate single characters only!
  
• All freeform/additional tags must be related to wings!

If I have any questions about nominations, I will do my best to query them here.

Creators have been revealed!

Thank you everyone for the lovely round of Wingfic Exchange! <3

It's likely that this exchange will run again next summer, schedule TBD at some point next spring when I have some idea what my own schedule next summer will be.

All assignments have been posted and everyone who signed up has a gift! Everything is on track for work reveals on Sunday September 3 at 6pm EDT. Thank you, everyone! <3

Please feel free to continue creating and posting treats to the collection!

Works are due approximately 48 hours from now, on Sunday the 27th at 6pm Eastern Daylight Time!

I hope you all are having a great time creating! If you need an extension, please let me know either by email (wingficexchange [at] gmail.com) or by replying to this post (comments are screened).
