lailah_tovPlease enjoy your tasty, iddy assignments!
This seems like a good time to remind everyone that the wordcount minimum for IPQ is 2000 words, not the usual 1000. Please check the rules before posting to make sure your assignment fill meets all requirements. Treats can be of any length.
The following text is at the bottom of your assignment email, but it bears repeating here:
If you have any concerns about your assignment or need to send a query to your recipient, please email us at idficmod@gmail.com.
We have 31 initial pinch hits, to be posted shortly (almost certainly in multiple posts). We will also make a pinch hitter treat request post for pinch hitters who haven't signed up. Please keep an eye out for those, and many thanks in advance to everyone who pinch hits and treats pinch hitters.

The following text is at the bottom of your assignment email, but it bears repeating here:
This assignment is due March 11 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. We understand that sometimes life happens and makes it difficult or impossible to complete an assignment by the deadline. If this happens to you, please either default or request an extension BEFORE the deadline. There is no penalty for defaulting, and we're generous with extensions. You never need to explain or justify requesting an extension. Thank you for participating in IPQ!Convert the deadline to your local time zone here.
If you have any concerns about your assignment or need to send a query to your recipient, please email us at idficmod@gmail.com.

lailah_tovThank you to all 150 people who signed up—an IPQ record!
Please keep an eye on the email address associated with your AO3 account. We will run initial matching and email anyone who is unmatchable. You'll have 24 hours to add at least one offer matching a request. With 574 requests to choose from, hopefully that won't be difficult.
We will also be spot-checking for unenforceable DNWs. We won't delete sign-ups over these, but we will strongly encourage fixing them as a kindness to your creator and yourself.
If you independently realize there is a significant issue with your sign-up (a missing DNW, a broken letter link, etc.), or if you have a do-not-match request, please contact us before assignments go out so we can help you. We can't add requests at this stage, or fix minor issues such as typos. Once assignments are sent out, we can't make any changes to sign-ups; this is your last chance.
Assignments will go out sometime on January 19th.

The collection is now open for posting. It's not too early to start creating treats! You can view and filter requests in![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
karanguni's awesome automagic app.
As the collection is moderated and there are only two of us, don't be surprised if your work sits around in the mod queue for a few days before being approved. We will only be checking for whether works meet length requirements, match a recipient's requested fandom and ship, and seem complete and non-plagiarized. If you're creating for Original Work or CCOF, please put the requested ship in your Author's Note to speed up work approval.
There is no mod account. If you're feeling extra iddy and would like to post a treat for the whole exchange, post it to the collection without a recipient, and note in your Author's Note that it's a gift to the collection.
The collection name is Id_Pro_Quo_2023. You can easily post a work to the collection by going to the collection profile and clicking the "Post to Collection" button at the top. If you're fulfilling your assignment, make sure you either use the Fulfill button on your My Assignments page or check the assignment fulfillment box on the posting form.

Nominations clarification post #4
Jan. 8th, 2023 02:31 amlailah_tovNominations are closed. The tagset contains 3600 ships in 574 fandoms, and nearly 1700 freeforms.
A thousand thanks to the removers of pipes and adders of canons. The queue has been cleared, and we're down to a very achievable list of questions. We did take the initiative on de-piping some nominations in order to keep approvals moving; please let us know if we got any wrong.
Also many thanks to the eagle-eyed spotters of duplicates. Please keep those reports coming.
We've received reports of tags wandering between MDZS - MXTX and The Untamed; let us know if you spot something with the disambiguation for one categorized under the other.
Several Original Work ships labeled Multi have been moved to Other, and vice versa. We've clarified the rules on what to do if a ship could conceivably fall into either category; in brief, Multi is for 3+ humans and/or humanoids (vampires, ghosts, etc.) of any gender assortment, and Other is for any ship where at least one participant is non-human and non-humanoid (pet kittens, tentacle monsters, etc.) as well as for 2-human(oid) ships with unspecified or nonbinary genders.
If l'esprit d'escalier strikes and you think of a freeform that you absolutely must add, let us know and we will add one per person. This offer ends when sign-ups open. We cannot add new fandoms or ships at this stage.
Fandoms
1: Pheris Erondites (Queen's Thief) was inadvertently entered as a fandom. We rejected it as a fandom but added it manually as a ship under the fandom The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner. Please let us know if it should be somewhere else.
The following fandoms have 0 ships and will be removed:
The Lord of the Rings (Movies)
Ocean's Echo - Everina Maxwell
If you meant to nominate ships for them and something has gone terribly awry, let us know.
Relationships
Dimension 20 (Web Series): Since these piped nominations came in relatively late, we will give you 24 hours to let us know how to fix them before we delete them.
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist (Video Game), All Romancable Exocolonists (Relationship): Are you shipping all these people with one another, or with someone else? Is it / or & shipping? Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group?
Original Work, Closeted trans woman who wants to be force femmed/Knowing out trans woman (OW): What does "knowing" mean here? Generally savvy or wise? Aware of what the other woman wants?
Stranger Things (TV 2016), 1: Any Older Teen (Stranger Things): Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group? Does it need to be made more specific to avoid being interpreted as including a random 17-year-old side character or OC?
The Terror (TV 2018): We plan to split Any Character or Ship (The Terror TV) into 1: Any Character and Any Ship unless you have a strong feeling about keeping this in one tag.
Young Justice (Cartoon), First Six Members of the Team (Relationship): Are you shipping all these people with one another, or with someone else? Is it / or & shipping? Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group?
Freeforms
Seducing a third character into a threesome and then realizing they actually just want each other: "They" is open to misinterpretation. Could this be rephrased as A/B Seduce C into a Threesome; Then A/B Realize They Only Want Each Other, or is something else meant?
twisted soulmate au: What is meant by "twisted"? Please clarify.

lailah_tovFor those not familiar with AO3's delightful and wonderful tag approval interface, it will only show a limited selection of tags in the queue, and can become so clogged by unapprovable tags that no further approvals are possible. That is currently the case with the IPQ tag queue.
If you nominated ships where a character's name has a pipe character | in it, please edit them to use only one name for that character. For example, Andy | Andromache of Scythia/Quynh | Noriko (The Old Guard 2020) should be changed to Andy/Quynh (The Old Guard 2020). If a pipe is needed to distinguish between two similarly named characters, comment and let us know.
If you nominated Crossover Fandom ships, please give the canon for each character in parentheses after the character name. For example, Ninth Doctor (DW 2005)/Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka books - Dahl).
Once nominations close, we will do our best to fix nominations where we know what the fix is, but remaining incorrectly formatted nominations may be rejected so we can get to the rest of the queue.
A full final clarification post will be made tomorrow.

All good!
Relationships
General requests
When nominating in a fandom with multiple similarly named canons, please disambiguate with the name of the specific canon, e.g., Witcher TV rather than The Witcher.
Please check the tagset before nominating to minimize duplication, especially if you're nominating within a large fandom.
When nominating Canon Character/Original Character(s), please put the disambiguation at the end of the ship, as in Canon Character/Original Character (Canon Name), so it doesn't look like a crossover.
Original Work nominators:
- Nomination formatting in this exchange is a little different from most other exchanges. Please check the rules and make sure your nominations are formatted correctly.
- If you nominated ships with multiple genders, please specify gender for each character unless the language of the nomination is inherently gendered. We assume an heiress is female and a widower is male, but words such as rogue, gold-digger, knight, socialites, and demon are unclear. The FM prefix is used for both Male Character/Female Character and Female Character/Male Character ships. Use any if you don't care what gender the character is.
Specific queries
Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:
Dark (TV 2017)
Dark Matter (TV)
Death Note (Anime & Manga)

Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu | Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
House of the Dragon (TV)
Overwatch (Video Game) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed)
The Boys (TV 2019)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed; also, many of these ships are already in the tagset, so please check there first and remove duplicate nominations)
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells: For the nomination Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) & Other(s), does "Other(s)" mean "Any Character(s)" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify. If not fixed in 24 hours, we will change to "Any Character(s)".
Original Work: For Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW), please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch. If not fixed in 24 hours, we will change to "Reclusive Witch (F) & Orphans Abandoned in Woods (any) & Wizard Sent to Kill Witch (M)".
Please correctly format the following ships with prefixes and genders:
Character from an A/B/O world/character without a secondary gender that doesn't understand what's up
Leader of a motorbike gang/Stripper
Priest/The succubus that enslaved him
Tentacle monster / or & scientist studying it (also, please split this into a / nomination and an & nomination)
Tentacle monster/sleeping victim

Nominations clarification post #2
Jan. 4th, 2023 02:54 pmlailah_tovUpdates to the rules
We've added a rule to codify a common bit of exchange etiquette: The only recipient of your work should be the person whose request you are fulfilling. Please do not gift works to multiple recipients, even if they have similar requests and even if your creation is a non-assignment treat.
The rules post also now has instructions for how to fulfill an assignment or post a treat on AO3, clarifies that treats do not have to meet assignment requirements, and notes that the collection is moderated and not to panic if work approvals take a few days (there are only two of us!).
Fandoms
Several fandoms have been nominated where the only nomination is a crossover. We will give these 24 hours and then associate crossover ships with Crossover Fandom and reject fandoms with no remaining nominated ships.

Specific queries
Crossover nominators, please ignore the text at the top of the nomination form (which AO3 provides and we cannot change) and nominate crossovers under Crossover Fandom. Crossovers between subfandoms, such as Sixth Doctor (DW 1963)/Thirteenth Doctor (DW 2005), should also be nominated under Crossover Fandom. We will give existing misplaced crossover nominations 24 hours and then associate them with Crossover Fandom.
Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV 2018) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed)
Dark Matter (TV)
Fate/Grand Order (if you nominated as Character | Class, please reformat as Class Character)
Fire Emblem
Overwatch (Video Game)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Assassin's Creed - All Media Types: We're not sure how Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie: Poirot TV) & Sherlock Holmes (Sherlok Holmes - ACD Novels) ended up here, but please nominate it under Crossover Fandom.
Blake's 7: For the nomination Bayban/Any (Blake’s 7), does "Any" mean "Any Character" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells: For the nomination Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) & Other(s), does "Other(s)" mean "Any Character(s)" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.
MCU: Loki/Thor is now in the tagset, so we will reject Catboy!Loki/Dogboy!Thor. If you want this specific dynamic, it's fine to nominate it as a freeform.
Original Work: For Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW), please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch.
Freeforms
We have been advised that some Supernatural-specific freeforms include spoilers. It's fine to keep nominating these, but if you care about avoiding spoilers for that show, take caution when reading the S section of the freeforms. All those freeforms appear to start with the "SPN:" prefix.

Nominations clarification post #1
Jan. 1st, 2023 07:05 pmlailah_tovNominations are pouring in! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who removed piping, added disambiguation, and correctly formatted nominations. If you spot errors or duplicates, please let us know.
Fandoms
Thanks to a nonny's excellent suggestion, we have added a fandom called Any Fandom I've Requested for IPQ Before; the rules for nominating and requesting in that fandom are the same as for Any Fandom I've Requested Before.
The Lord of the Rings (Movies) - The nominations under this fandom are disambiguated "LOTR - AMT". Did you mean to nominate The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types? Please adjust your nomination so the fandom and the disambiguation match.
DCU - Comics - Forgive our ignorance, but are "DCU" and "DCU - Comics" the same? Some nominations in this fandom have one disambiguation and some have the other. Also, please check approved nominations to make sure you're not nominating a ship that's already approved.
Relationships
Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:

Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW) - Please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch.
Freeforms
Facials - Please clarify what sort of facial you mean.

What does "iddy" mean?
See the Fanlore entry for a definition. In brief, id fic and id art are works that resonate with you on a deep level. This feeling can't be denied or suppressed, even if the thing that really gets you going is also something you feel is morally wrong, ridiculous, or not in keeping with how you see yourself. A feminist may get off on women being degraded; a cat fancier may harbor a fondness for dogpeople AUs. The id wants what it wants, and this is an exchange for giving it what it wants.
Iddy creations do not need to be sexually explicit. Maybe your id is deeply invested in drinking tea while autumn rains fall, rescuing abandoned emu chicks, or surreptitiously holding hands. Works of all ratings are welcome in IPQ.
How do I contact the mods if I have a question?
