Sign-ups open early!
Jul. 18th, 2025 08:57 amSign-ups are open from now until July 29. [form | countdown | in your time zone]
Promote your favorite movies/folks/pairings here!
A reminder of the rules:
Also, remember that there is a known issue whereby relationship tags sometimes do not appear in the dropdown menu once you have chosen a fandom. If this happens, copy the relationship from the tagset and paste it into the box on the sign-up form -- that should solve the problem.
Any questions or issues, please let us know, either in the comments or at classicfilmexchange@gmail.com.

A reminder of the rules:
You can request 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 ships and/or characters. While you can repeat fandoms, you must have 3 unique ones selected to participate.
You can offer 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 ships and/or characters. You must offer 3 unique fandoms to participate. Matches are made based on one fandom and one character or ship.
You can edit/delete your sign-ups until the sign-up period closes.
If a sign-up does not include the required number of fandoms, it will be deleted when sign-ups close.
All fandoms and ships requested and offered in this exchange must be chosen from those nominated into the tagset. Please nominate to make sure what you want to request/offer appears.
If no offers match your requests, you will go out for claiming as an initial pinch hit (IPH).
If there aren't any requests that match your offers, the mods will contact you at the email address associated with your AO3 account to see if there is anything else you can offer. If you do not reply within 24 hours, or there is nothing else you can offer, your sign-up will be deleted.
Dear Creator letters: There is a section in the sign-up where letters can be linked to give your gifter further details on your likes, dislikes and other request details. Dear Creator letters are optional.
In the optional details and in Dear Creator letters, please do not place preference for one ship over the others, as there isn't a guarantee you will be matched on that ship.
DNWs: Please include anything you don't want to receive in the Optional Details field in your AO3 sign-up and label this clearly as "Do Not Wants" (DNW). If a DNW is included in your gift, only reasonable DNWs in your sign-up will be enforced. Please remember that DNWs cannot be used to box your creator into producing a very specific work. We will not be enforcing DNWs in letters.
We accept 'do not match' requests for this exchange. Please email us before sign-ups close at classicfilmexchange@gmail.com letting us know your AO3 name, the AO3 name of the participant you would like not to be matched to, and what you would like us to do in the instance where you are their only match as a creator or you are their only match as a recipient. We don't need to know the reasons for this request (unless you feel it's in our best interests). We'll do our best to respect your request.
