Boldly Going Due South

Welcome back to another year of DSSS. This year everything will run like last year. Hopefully!

The AO3 tagset will run like a standard exchange with 3 requests to 1 match-up carried out using AO3 algorithms. 

Requests will be visible from the start of sign-ups. This allows for more transparency and more time to start thinking about treats, whether or not you decide to sign up for the main event.

Go sign up here when it opens: archiveofourown.org/collections/DSSS2025

There will be no beta check-in. We recommend you get your work beta'd before submitting it to continue DSSS high standards. It is a gift after all. The mod (me) will be checking for any glaring mistakes when you submit and will get in touch if anything needs amending. 

That being said, there will be a beta volunteer post at a later date, so please ask if you are struggling to get a beta. 

Nobody wants to default. But if you do, and later on you get inspiration for something else, there's nothing wrong with throwing more cake into the mix. Who doesn't love more cake at Christmas? I will still ensure that everybody who signs up gets a gift regardless. But treats are welcome from everybody, even if you've not signed up.

The collection will be open at the same time this year, giving more time for contributions. 

If you have any questions, please comment on this post.
