Dublin Murder Exchange

Due to a variety of factors, I will not be running Dublin Murder Exchange this year. I'm very sorry to anyone who was looking forward to it, and will try to make time to do it in 2022. In the meantime, for anyone who is really itching to write for this fandom, I suggest Trick or Treat which is a large multifandom exchange coming up soon, and also Yuletide, which is a huge wintertime rare fandoms exchange that always has a handful of requests for Dublin Murder Squad.

Due to a scheduling error (my bad) the work reveals will take place 2 hours later than previously planned. Works will be revealed at 11:59pm EST today (Friday, September 18).

Everyone should have their assignment now! If you have any questions or need some help with your assignment, you can comment on this post (comments are screened so nobody else will see) or you can email ashling.and.hurricanes@gmail.com. Assignments are due September 13, countdown to the due date is here.

In order for the computer to match up writers with assignments (which saves mods a lot of trouble), there must be an approved list of pairings. For example, in our tagset, the approved tag for Rob/Cassie is "Cassie Maddox/Rob Ryan (DMS - French)". Now if you sign up requesting that tag, and somebody else signs up offering that tag, the computer will pair you two together.

If we didn't have a tagset, then you might request "Rob/Cassie" and somebody else might offer "Cassie/Rob". The computer could not match you because those two are not the exact. (The computer is not a shipper and doesn't know they're the same, lol). Or, even worse, you might request "Rob/Cassie" thinking of the book series, and somebody else might offer "Rob/Cassie" thinking of the TV series!

So anyways, if you want to request fic with a certain pairing or offer fic with a certain pairing, make sure it is in the tagset.

If it is already in the tagset, you do not need to nominate it.

If you want a romantic or sexual relationship, format it like this: "Scorcher Kennedy/Frank Mackey/Stephen Moran (DMS - French)"

If you want a platonic relationship, format it like this: "Antoinette Conway & Stephen Moran (DMS - French)"

If you want a story focusing on a character (instead of a relationship), format it like this: "Cassie Maddox & None (DMS - French)"

The name order in a pairing is alphabetical by last name and does not imply anything about topping, etc.

There are three fandoms you can nominate relationships for: Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French, Dublin Murders (TV), and Crossover Fandom.

The tagset is here and nominations to it will be open from August 7, 2020 to August 14, 2020. You can nominate here
