Nominations are open through the close of sign ups on August 22nd 9PM EDT.

As decided by vote last year, there is one (newly) eternal freeform tag set and one yearly fandoms and relationships tag set.

If you use all your nomination slots, nominating via sock is welcome.

A reminder that matching is on Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings. All extra information is optional and your artist/author does not have to use it. All participants are encouraged to try to make something their recip will like, but you're only guaranteed Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings.

Things that can be nominated include fandom, characters in the form of "Solo: Character Name" and ships in the relationships field, and freeforms. / denotes a romantic or sexual relationship. & denotes a platonic relationship.

Fandoms with umbrellas can be nominated as the nominators please, with both individual franchises and umbrella categories eligible. For instance:

• Star Wars could have Star Wars (All Media Types), Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic, and Star Wars Thrawn novels nominated.
  
• Marvel could have Marvel (All Media Types), Marvel 616, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man (movies), Thor (movies), and individual game and comic titles nominated.
  
• If you want to increase your odds of getting something with characters you both know, you may wish to narrow in on a more specific version of your nomination like Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic or Iron Man (movie).

Crossover ships should be nominated under Crossover Fandom or under [Canon name 1]/[Canon name 2]. As matching is only on fandom, you are most likely to get what you want by nominating the canon names. Example: Fandom: Iron Man (movies)/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Relationship: Tony Stark & Spike.

Recursive fanfiction (aka fic or art of fic) is allowed if the creator has given public permission for their work to be included as a fandom in an exchange. Looking at you here, Dreaming of Sunshine fandom. Because Dreaming of Sunshine was synned to Naruto and its previous disambiguated for exchanges version was, too, to prevent Naruto eating DoS tags, please nominate under the new "Dreaming of Sunshine (Fanfic Disambiguation)" fandom tag. If you have a different recursive fandom you wish to be included, please point me in the direction of where the creator has given public permission.

The following nominations for fandoms will not be accepted:

• Nazi RPF
  
• RPF involving modern serial killers, mass shooters, or other modern tragedies
  
• Other similar public figures who have living victims
  
• Modern RPF for persons under the age of 18
  
• Modern RPF for persons not famous in their own right

Other RPF is eligible. Fictional canons are eligible. Original Works are eligible. If someone nominates it, Creator's Choice of Fandom to give your creator complete freedom is eligible. The mod reserves the right to use their best judgment (or the fandom equivalent of phone a friend) for if something is or isn't allowed.

Because we're not matching on characters, ships, or freeforms, they do not have to be unique. Tags may wander. Unless the mod messes something up, this shouldn't cause any problems.

Freeforms should in some way be related to the theme, either to give an idea of the level of spookiness you're up for or to serve as some form of on theme prompt. Fic and art are expected to run the gamut from gentle spooks to screaming scares. Dark fic and art, horror, and the spoopy are all allowed and encouraged. If you have a preference, you should indicate it via freeform.

Because this is a flash exchange, we will not be doing clarification posts for freeforms. We'll still try to use a very open approach to what's on theme. Because we're only human, something may be rejected by mistake or misclick. If so, please let us know if your spooky/spoopy/horror freeform was accidentally rejected.

Examples of freeforms that would not be approved:

• Trans Character


• Fluff


• Pining

Examples of freeforms that would be approved:

• Trans Character Trying to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse


• Human Makes Friends with the Monster in Their Closet


• Ghost Pines for Their Living Lover Who Can't See Them

2024 Fandoms and Relationships Tag Set

This post allows anon comments. Comments are not screened. If you wish to communicate with the mod privately, please either use the mod contact post or e-mail the mod at jumpscaremodding@gmx.com

All links and schedule.

If you take a pinch hit, you are committing to create a work of at least the quality of an unlined sketch or a fic of 300 words by August 26th 9 PM EDT, depending on what the recipient requested.

Matching is by Fandom, Medium, and Archive Warning, so you need to create a work that includes at least one of each requested from one of the recipient's requests. You cannot include content that is an archive warning the recipient did not request. If the recipient did not request NAWA, you must include one of the archive warnings the recipient requested.

All works must adhere to the theme of spooky, spoopy (think Casper the Friendly Ghost or that spooky, scary skeletons music video), or horror.

Please include in your comment your AO3 username and the pinch hit you would like to take.

If you comment anonymously and without an AO3 username, I would still love to give you the pinch hit, but I have no way of doing so.

One big change is that we're using new tag sets this year. As decided by vote, there will be one eternal freeform tag set and one yearly fandoms and relationships tag set.

If you use all your nomination slots, nominating via sock is welcome. The mods are also willing to add nominations sent to them on Dreamwidth. If you have extra nominations and want to leave them on Dreamwidth, please leave them in a comment on this post (or via the mod contact post). For the sake of keeping things manageable, if you could limit any Dreamwidth freeform nominations to 40 tags or less and any Dreamwidth fandoms and relationships to what you intend to request or offer, we'd appreciate it.

A reminder that matching is on Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings. All extra information is optional and your artist/author does not have to use it. All participants are encouraged to try to make something their recip will like, but you're only guaranteed Fandom, Medium(s), and Archive Warnings.

Things that can be nominated include fandom, characters in the form of "Solo: Character Name" and ships in the relationships field, and freeforms. / denotes a romantic or sexual relationship. & denotes a platonic relationship.

Fandoms with umbrellas can be nominated as the nominators please, with both individual franchises and umbrella categories eligible. For instance:

• Star Wars could have Star Wars (All Media Types), Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic, and Star Wars Thrawn novels nominated.

• If you want to increase your odds of getting something with characters you both know, you may wish to narrow in on a more specific version of your nomination like Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic or Iron Man (movie).

Crossover ships should be nominated under Crossover Fandom or under [Canon name 1]/[Canon name 2]. As matching is only on fandom, you are most likely to get what you want by nominating the canon names. Example: Fandom: Iron Man (movies)/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Relationship: Tony Stark & Spike.

If you have a different recursive fandom you wish to be included, please point me in the direction of where the creator has given public permission.

The following nominations for fandoms will not be accepted:

• RPF involving modern serial killers, mass shooters, or other modern tragedies
  
• Other similar public figures who have living victims
  
• Modern RPF for persons under the age of 18
  
• Modern RPF for persons not famous in their own right

Eternal Freeforms Tag Set
2022 Fandoms and Relationships Tag Set

This post allows anon comments. Comments are not screened. If you wish to communicate with the mod privately, please either use the mod contact post or e-mail the mod at jumpscaremodding@gmx.com

All links and schedule.

This will be Jump Scare's fourth year!

Our initial rules were a combination of common flash exchange rules, general exchange rules, and community consensus. I've been contemplating making some requested changes and some that I think might be both welcome and help the exchange run a little more smoothly, but I don't want to make any major changes without community input.

For the month of August, I'm going to open a poll on DW and google forms. You're also welcome to reply to this post, though for the sake of making it easier to tabulate responses, I'm going to ask that when you comment, you use the form response at the end of the post to vote. Votes will be counted September 1st.

If you're interested in doing Jump Scare this year or sometime in the future, please help decide its fate!

Jump Scare changes to vote on:

• Potential change one: Optional details are expanded to more than DNWs. You can talk a little bit about what you like besides the horror freeforms, link to your five minute fandoms, and do whatever else you'd like within the confines of an AO3 comment box. There would still be no letters. Would you be in favor, neutral, or opposed?



• Potential change two: No matter what, I need to change how the tag set is done. Would you like one new tag set each year going forward with fandoms, characters/relationships, and freeforms, OR one new fandoms/characters/ships tag set each year going forward and one new eternal freeforms tag set?



• Potential change three: We've always included fic and art by matching on neither but potentially getting either. Would you like matching on fic and art; are you neutral; or do you want to stick with "You get what your creator wants to make you"?
  
  (If we match on fic and art, characters will have to be nominated in the relationships section and nom approvals will be slowed down so that we can check that they're in the correct format. Nominations and sign ups will also be extended from four days to six days.)



• Potential change four: This is dependent on enough people wanting to match on medium, but if the vote goes that way, would you like to add in more mediums? In favor, neutral, or opposed? The caveat remains that this a flash exchange that does not guarantee gifts, so if you request all vids and there are no vidders in the exchange or willing to pick up the pinch hit, the exchange may open without a gift for you. If we do open the door up to more mediums, we'll add them as they're requested.

When voting, please choose one means to do it. I'll be tabulating from each place.

If voting via comment, please use this form:
<strong>Change one (optional details expanded):</strong> [In favor/Neutral/Opposed] <strong>Change two (tag set/s):</strong> [One yearly tag set/Two tag sets] <strong>Change three (medium matching):</strong> [Yes, match on mediums/Neutral/No changes to matching] <strong>Change four (more mediums):</strong> [Yes, more mediums/Neutral/No, only fic and art] <strong>Any other thoughts:</strong> [Free response]

If voting by Google form, please vote at the Google form
If voting via Dreamwidth poll, please vote at the Dreamwidth poll entry

Also, by necessity we will have a slightly longer creation time this year so that certain things fall on a weekend for me and so that potentially slower mod communication on my part than previous years during the week won't be too much of a setback during the creation period for those who have mod questions.

If you have any other thoughts or questions outside the confines of the poll, feel free to reply to this post with those as well--no comment form necessary!

If you take a pinch hit, you are committing to create a work of at least the quality of an unlined sketch or a fic of 300 words by September 12 9 PM EDT. (What time is that due for me?)

You only need to fill one request. You must include one of the Archive Warnings (including No Archive Warnings Apply) in that request and none that are not included. This means that if someone requested only Major Character Death (without No Archive Warnings Apply), the story must include Major Character Death and must not include Underage, Noncon/Rape, or Graphic Violence.

Pairings, characters, and freeforms are optional details.

If you can take a pinch hit, please reply to this post with your AO3 name.
