Eligibility

- You must be over 18, and an AO3 account is needed. Please also ensure you have access to the email address related to your ao3 account.

- Participants may only sign up with a maximum of one account.

Nominations

Your nominations must be for canons that feature emergency service personnel from the following list:

- Ambulances/EMTs/Paramedics

- Coastguard

- Dispatch and Call Handlers

- Fire & Rescue (including Mountain Rescue)

- Hospital Emergency Department

- Police/Security Response Officers

- Other Emergency Service that can be justified as an Emergency Service according to the canon lore. This could include Sci-Fi, Superhero or Supernatural universes where their Emergency Response Personnel may not meet any of the above definitions, or just something not covered by the above (for example, The AA according to their advert with John Cleese - That’s a Yuletide fandom if I’ve ever known one.)

ExpandRead more... )If you would like any of the characters from the canon to feature as an emergency caller/patient/victim of a crime or accident, etc. please use the "(Target)" format to nominate them.

For example (9-1-1: Lone Star)

Grace Ryder (Dispatcher) - here you would write Grace in her role as Call Handler/Dispatcher.

Judd Ryder (Firefighter) - here Judd would be in his role as Firefighter.

Grace Ryder (Target) - here Grace could be the one being rescued or treated.

Charlie Ryder (Target) - here, their child Charlie could be the one being rescued or treated.

“Original Character(s) (Target)” and “Any (Target)” will be added to each fandom nominated.

Sign-Ups and Matching

- A minimum of 3 requests and offers is required.

- To be guaranteed a gift one of these must be an "Emergency Canon" (please see FAQs). To indicate an emergency canon please include this in the top of your "Prompts and DNWs" box at sign-up.

- Assignments are only guaranteed to match on one fandom, one character and one Opt-In.

- When sign-ups close, any unmatchables will be deleted, unless an Emergency Canon has been indicated.

DNWs (Do Not Wants) and Opt-Ins


- When you sign-up, please include anything you absolutely don't want to receive in the "Prompts and DNWs" field on the form. In the event that a DNW is included in your gift, only reasonable DNWs in your sign-up will be enforced. (Please bear in mind that DNWs cannot be used to box your creator into producing a very specific work.) You also must select at least one of the five Opt-In scenarios.

- When creating, you must not violate the DNWs of your recip, or include Opt-In scenarios they have not chosen.

Optional Letters

- "Dear Creator" letters may be linked to in your signup in order to give your gifter further details on your likes and dislikes. These are optional.

9-9-9?

- 999 is the UK (and other countries') Emergency Phone Number. It also indicates the schedule of this exchange:

- 9 Days simultaenous Nominations & Sign-Ups (7th-15th April, British Summer Time).

- 9 Days writing time (16th-25th April) after which the collection will be revealed anonymously.

- 9 Days until Authors Revealed (during which time we may still be working on emergency canons, treats, and PHs!)

What counts as on theme?

At sign-up you will be able to pick from the following emergency scenarios:

- Ambulances/EMTs/Paramedics

- Coastguard

- Dispatch and Call Handlers

- Fire and Rescue (including Mountain Rescue)

- Hospital Emergency Department

- Police/Security Response Officers

- Other Emergency Service

Examples of canons could be: ER, Happy Valley, Rescue Me, Casualty, The Guardian, Life on Mars, 9-1-1 & Lone Star, London's Burning, New Amsterdam, Water Rats, 21 Jump Street, H, Backdraft...

Despite the “999” part of the theme, the canon can take place in any real-world country, (with any emergency phone number!)

What's not on theme?

- Generic Hospital, Investigation, Police & Detective canons without a significant amount of the plot taking place in emergency scenarios (whether internal like a hospital or external such as a crime scene or scene of an accident.)

- Fics focused purely on the administration, social/romantic lives or day-to-day cases of the Emergency Services.

- Case and Investigation Fic.

- Any content more explicit than would be typical for that canon when aired on network TV.

What about Alternate Universes?

The only AUs permitted would be those that keep the core theme in the end result: for example, you could do a Future or Past AU, or a canon-divergence AU resulting in events that are incompatible with canon but still focused on the “Emergency” theme, or a Mundane AU of a Supernatural canon.

“Coffee Shop” or “High School” would not be appropriate.

What is an "Emergency Canon"?

An Emergency canon is a canon that can be consumed in less than 99.9 (i.e. 100) minutes.

These could be a canon in their own right (such as a film under 100 minutes) or an Episode of a TV Show or similar that can be largely understood from the one episode alone.
