Basics

DCEU Exchange is a fanworks exchange for the DC Extended Universe, meaning at this point in time Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, and Shazam!

Participants either write a newly created fanfiction of at least 2000 words or create an original piece of finished art (no manipulations and graphics; no quick sketches or lineart) fulfilling one of their recipient's requests. The exchange is run on AO3. Updates and information will be posted on this community and crossposted/linked on tumblr.

This exchange is open to both gen fanworks and fanworks focusing on ships. All ships, all ratings, and all genres are welcome. Participants are expected to be respectful of others' likes/dislikes. Bashing of ships, characters, kinks, and requests will lead to an immediate ban from this exchange.

Nominations are open + Discord channel!

Nominations will remain open until June 4th, 11:59 pm UTC. The tag set is here.

Please read the rules before nominating!

• All nominations should go under the fandom "DC Extended Universe", not the individual movies.
• Nominations can be either characters (e.g. character: Bruce Wayne) or relationships (e.g. relationship: Bruce Wayne & Clark Kent or relationship: Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent). & relationships are platonic, / relationships are sexual and/or romantic. Both character and relationship nominations go in the "character" field. In the "fandom?" field, add "DC Extended Universe".
• Relationships including more than two people are eligible.
• Crossover relationships are allowed, but characters from other canons cannot be nominated on their own (i.e. you can nominate relationship: Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark (MCU), but not character: Tony Stark (MCU)). Put the DCEU character first, and include the canon the other character is from in your nomination.
• DC characters who have not (yet) appeared in the DCEU are eligible (e.g. Dick Grayson, Selina Kyle). However, fic/art about them should involve them with the DCEU (e.g. a fic about Dick reacting to the events in Batman v Superman or reconnecting with DCEU!Bruce would be fine, but a fic about Dick solving a case on his own with no relation to the DCEU would not be appropriate for this exchange).
• Everyone can nominate up to 6 characters/relationships.
• You can edit/delete nominations as long as they haven't been approved yet.

If you have any questions, let me know here.

We also have a Discord channel now! For those not familiar with it, Discord is basically a chat server. You make an account and then you can join different channels to chat with people. 

If you want to join the DCEU-Exchange server, here's an invite: https://discord.gg/kAmvebN (I hope this works - otherwise give me a shout and I'll see what I can do).

We might organise a community rewatch or two of the movies on the Discord server, and you can also simply chat to other participants, get some cheerleading and encouragement while working on your assignment later, talk about which pairings/characters you want to nominate etc.

Three basic rules:

1) Don't talk about your assignment in the public Discord as assignments are meant to be secret. (Okay: "I had a really cool idea for my assignment!" Not Okay: "I'm writing this specific pairing only one person requested.")
2) Don't be an asshole. That includes character-bashing, ship wars, kink shaming, insulting other participants etc. Chances are some participants in this exchange will be into pairings or kinks or other things you don't like. Chances are they will talk about those things in the Discord. If you can't handle that, the Discord is not the right place for you. 
3) Be 18+ or don't advertise it if you're not.
