BodySwap Swap

BodySwap Swap's creators are now revealed, and our 2022 round is now over.

Thank you to everyone who participated!


As a note, the mods hit upon some challenging life events during the lifespan of this exchange which definitely lessened how smoothly the event ran. We do have plans to run it again next year, but we are hoping it will run a lot smoother. Thank you everyone for your patience and assistance in the meantime :)

Reminder: The deadline for assignments is tomorrow (11 Sept) 11:59PM BST / 6:59PM EDT / 3:59PM PDT.

If you need a 48 hour extension, please email us at bodyswapswap@gmail.com. We don't need reasons, but please include your AO3 username and your assignee's username in the email.

We also have one outstanding pinch hit, along with one new pinch hit. The deadline for these is 14 September, 11:59PM BST. Requirements are 500 words or a completed sketch on unlined paper.

To claim, please comment below with your AO3 username + the pinch hit number you would like.

( PH 4 - Hill Street Blues, Deliverance (1972), Dirty Harry (Movies) )

( PH 5 - Mass Effect Trilogy, 大逆転裁判 | Dai Gyakuten Saiban | The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Video Games), Fire Emblem: Fuukasetsugetsu | Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Dragon Age (Video Games) )

Thank you everyone for your patience, and apologies for the big delay! Assignments have now been sent.

Please let us know if you spot any problems by emailing us at bodyswapswap@gmail.com.

Initial pinch hits will be up tomorrow (PST).

Sign-ups for BodySwap Swap 2022 are now closed!

We have one unmatchable, who has 24 hours to respond, so please check your emails.

Nominations are now closed. Sign-ups begin on 29 July, 3:59PDT. If you have any last minute nominations you would like to squeeze in before sign-ups open, please reply to this post. Please also format them as they would appear in the tagset, disambiguations and all.

We do have some new & outstanding clarifications:

- We think that the Deadpool - All Media Types would be better suited to be rolled into Marvel (Comics) nominations, as almost all of the characters nominated, save for Wade, only appear in the comics rather than Deadpool's movies. But we would like to confirm that with the nominator.

If we do not hear back from the nominator, we will move these nominations to Marvel (Comics).

- Venom (Movies) seems to have some characters that do not appear in the Venom movies nominated--namely, Peter Parker, James "Bucky" Barnes, Loki and Clint Barton. In light of that, we would like to move these to Crossover Fandom. However, we're not sure which version of these characters the nominator would like (i.e. MCU or certain comics runs).

If we do not hear from the nominator before sign-ups start, we will move the ships with the crossover characters to Crossover Fandom and flag them as MCU characters.

- Nominations should include an s! to indicate who is being swapped. If you nominated for the following fandoms, check your nominations. If we do not hear from you before sign-ups begin, we will add s! to all nominated characters:

Fatal Fury
The Death Gate Cycle - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher

- Freeform tags should all relate to body-swapping in some way. We have removed some tags that didn't adhere to this (e.g. 'Aliens Made Them Do It'). (i.e. Aliens Bodyswapped Them And Made Them Do It). We're happy to work through these with you if you need help working these out! Let us know what you'd like to change them to.

These are the tags we removed:
Aliens Made Them Do It
Bad Guys Made Them Do It
Captured Together
Fuck or Die
Fucking Machines
Hurt/Comfort
Magic Made Them Do It
Sex Pollen
Soul Bond

NEW: The below tags are also not related to bodyswap/sharing/possession. Let us know what you would like to change them to, or we will reject the nominations.

Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
Scent Kink
Trans Character
Voyeurism

- For crossover nominations, please be sure to disambiguate both characters. The following nominations cannot be approved until disambiguated as we're not sure which versions of John Constantine and Bruce Wayne, respectively, that the nominator would like:
S!John Constantine/s!Bruce Wayne
S!John Constantine/s!Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)

If you do not tell us which version of the characters you would like, we will have to reject the nomination.
