Requests

You can request a minimum of 3, up to 6 fandoms. You may request up to 4 characters or request Any.

You can request one fandom twice with different sets of characters, provided you have a minimum of 3 different fandoms. Example: Psych, National Football RPF, Hikaru no Go (one set of characters), Hikaru no Go (second set of characters).

By requesting Any, a participant is requesting Any nominated characters. Do not be that person who requests Any in Fandom F, but writes about specifically wanting Character Z from Fandom F who wasn't nominated. Also, do not be that person who requests Any, but only talks about one or two nominated characters. In that case, just request those specific characters.

If you are typing in a nominated character, but it is not autofilling, you can copy/paste the character name from the tag set onto the sign up form.

Dear Prime Time Player Letter URL: If you want to leave the URL to your Dear Prime Time Player letter, this is the place to do so.

Optional Details: Optional details are optional, however, if you want to give your writer ideas, this is the place to do it, whether you write a letter or not. I highly recommend that you add in bare minimum optional details such as likes/dislikes.

If you leave optional details blank and don't provide a letter, your writer has mod approval to write whatever they want, provided the fic matches requested fandom and character(s) (if recipient requests more than one character, the writer has mod approval to use how many requested characters they see fit for the fic, including just one requested character out of the bunch).

Offers

You must offer a minimum of 3 fandoms, maximum of 10. You may offer up to 10 characters per fandom or offer Any.

Don't forget to request/offer fandoms you want. If you're lukewarm about a fandom, don't request it. Chances are this will be the fandom you receive.

You can also offer one fandom twice with different sets of characters, provided you have a minimum of 3 different fandoms.

If you are typing in a nominated character, but it is not autofilling, you can copy/paste the character name from the tag set onto the sign up form.

Once at least five people have signed up, you'll be able to keep track of current request/offer numbers via the signup summary.

In regards to character matching, the challenge's Minimum Number to Match is set to 1 Request, 1 Fandom, and All Characters. So matching is based off AND, not OR.

You may edit your sign up form until sign ups close on the 30th.

I may have to email participants about their sign ups and I do this through the email associated with your AO3 account. Please make sure to check this email during sign ups just in case you have to fix something (like if you signed up for an individual fandom 3 times). Otherwise I have to delete your sign up when sign ups end.

Two more hours left until sign ups close. If you've already signed up, you can either change/add your offers and/or edit your prompts.

Once sign ups close, the matching system will run. Please check your emails in case I have to contact you about your requests and/or offers for matching purposes. The earliest that assignments will go out is by May 2nd as I will be busy due to RL before then.

There are 2 more days until NPT sign ups close. Help spread the word! If you plan on writing your Optional Details or a Dear Prime Time Player letter to link with your sign up form, you have a little more than two days before assignments go out. (While both the optional details section in the sign up form and writing a letter are optional, it is an easy way to let your writer know about your likes/dislikes/fandom prompts and is recommended).
