1. Participants must be at least 18 years of age.

2. Absolutely no kinkshaming. Remember, Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's Okay.

3. Participants who cannot complete their assignments on time must either email the mod for an extension or hit the default button as soon as possible. Participants who are no-shows at the deadline will be banned from next year's exchange. Posting a placeholder that does not meet the minimum requirements for a gift, without requesting an extension, will be treated as a no-show.

4. All gifts must respect the recipient's DNWs. Bad faith attempts to violate the spirit of the DNW while adhering to the letter of it will be treated as DNW violations. If you are confused about your recipient's DNWs or feel they are unenforceable, please contact the mods.

5. Maintain anonymity until creator reveals. Do not contact your recipient with questions; email the mods instead. Do not post your fic, in part or in whole, anywhere but Ao3 and your beta's inbox until reveals. Avoid talking about your assignment or even which fandom you're writing for on social media, Discord, etc., even if you don't think your recipient will see it.

6. Participants are expected to be civil to one another. Mods will deal with infractions on a case by case basis but reserve the right to ban participants for mean-spirited behavior including (but not limited to): harassment on any platform, release or abuse of personal information (doxxing), deliberate spitefic, egregiously bad faith participation, or derogatory remarks in summaries, author's notes, or comments.

Nominations Open!

Nominations for Prisoner's Exchange 2022 are now open! Please go here to nominate freeforms and here for fandoms & relationships.

Guidelines for freeforms can be found here.

Please follow these guidelines for fandoms. Additional guidance and clarification will come in future posts as needed.

Dragon Age - nominate as "Dragon Age (Video Games)"
Marvel Cinematic Universe - please only nominate characters who have appeared in the movies into this fandom
Marvel Netflix series - these should all be nominated as "Defenders (TV)"
Star Wars - please nominate in terms of "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy", "Star Wars Original Trilogy", "Star Wars Sequel Trilogy" etc.
X-Men films - as "X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies)" and "X-Men (Original Timeline Movies)"
Arrowverse - use "DC's Arrowverse" for Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow and Superman & Lois
Marvel and DC Comics - as "Marvel (Comics)" and "DC Comics"

In relationships, remember to note each character's role (Captor, Prisoner, Rescuer, Visitor) in the scenario. Please use that order when nominating relationships to help keep duplicates down.

For example:

Captor!Alice/Prisoner!Bob
Prisoner!Alice/Rescuer!Bob
Captor!Alice/Captor!Bob/Prisoner!Charlie
Prisoner!Bob & Prisoner!Charlie
Prisoner!Bob/Visitor!Charlie

You may also include original characters or groups in your nominations, e.g., Captor!Original Guard(s)/Prisoner!Alice. Please be sure to assign a role (e.g. Captor/Prisoner/Rescuer), even if the descriptor feels self-evident. This is to make sure that everyone has the same expectations for that relationship.

Captor!Original Guard(s)/Prisoner!Alice
Prisoner!Alice/Rescuer!Original Character(s)

You may also nominate specific groups of "any" character, e.g., Captor!Any Canon Villain(s)/Prisoner!Alice. Please be sure that you really do mean "any"! DNWs for specific characters in "any" ships will not be enforced.

You may also nominate single prisoner characters. Use the format Solo - Prisoner!Alice. We will not accept solo captor/rescuer/visitor nominations.

If your relationship tag is too long to comfortably include the full words for their roles, you may abbreviate, e.g., C!Alice/C!Bob/P!Charlie/R!Daphne.

These categories are subject to editing and updating until the end of the nominations cleanup period. If you have an idea for a category that is distinct from the others here, you may leave a comment and the mods will consider your idea.

The generic terms used here are meant to make the tagset easier to comprehend, not to set the expectation that all captivity settings for this exchange will be prisons (etc., etc.). Prisoner's Exchange welcomes any and all types of captivity scenarios.

Scenario

Torture
Violence

Stages of Captivity

Capture — Scenarios about how the prisoner is captured
Prison — The setting/scenario the prisoner is kept in
Rescue — Scenarios about how the prisoner is freed

Prisoner — Individual(s) being held and otherwise denied freedom.
