This fest is meant to keep our spirits up and show our appreciation of each other, and is supposed to be as low stress as possible.

<h2 dir="ltr">How It Works</h2>
If you've ever done a Secret Santa, you'll understand how this fest works. The PB Exchange matches members of the server to create anonymous gifts for one another that meet the theme of the current fest. 

Participants will be provided with a profile of their giftee so you will know who you're giving to, along with their favorite tropes. You will have some idea of what they might like, but they won't know who you are until posting! Everybody will get a nice surprise on posting day.

<p dir="ltr">You'll have roughly one calendar month to complete—so we're only expecting drabbles, sketches, poems, etc. Nothing too labour intensive. Go to the [https://profoundnet.wikia.com/wiki/PBExchange_Rules PBExchange Rules] for more info. This fest runs quarterly, so be on the lookout for when the next one opens up!</p>

== Current Exchange Guidelines ==

==== Round 6 - '''Quarantine and Chill''' ====
'''Mods''': cryptomoon, saltnhalo, LeafZelindor

<u>'''Creation Guidelines'''</u>
* Creations must fit the theme of '''quarantine''' or '''isolation'''. It can be as loose as a connection as you'd like, as long as it's there.
* Creations can be in any form you would like (eg. fic, art, graphic, fanvid)
* Fics must be a minimum of 500 words. There is no upper limit.
* You will be provided with a list of your recipient's favorite tropes, to give you an idea of what they would like. While incorporating at least one of these is recommended, it is not compulsory.
* You will also be provided with a list of your recipient's squicks. These are '''not''' to be included in any way. Breaking this rule will result in a '''permanent ban''' from the PBExchange.
* This exchange is '''anonymous'''. You are welcome to discuss what you are creating, but please do not reveal who your recipient is prior to posting your creation.

<u>'''Posting Guidelines'''</u>
* Posting dates are June 15-21. You may post at any time during these days relevant to your timezone.
* Once you have posted, please complete the wrap-up form that will be emailed to you.
* If you think you will be unable to post by this date, or you need to drop out, please contact a mod immediately via Discord DM. This will provide us plenty of time to arrange a pinch hitter.
* Failure to post your gift (unless you have indicated in the check-in that you will need to drop) will result in a '''one exchange ban'''. You will be able to sign up for future exchanges once your ban period has ended.
* Failure to post combined with failure to communicate with any of the mods will result in a '''permanent ban'''.
* When you post your creation, please tag your participant. If you are unable to find them on your chosen platform, please contact a mod.
* When posting on tumblr, please use '''PBExchangeQuarantine '''and '''profoundnet''' in the first five tags.
* When posting on AO3, please add your creation to the '''[https://archiveofourown.org/collections/PBExchangeQuarantine PBExchangeQuarantine] collection''' and crosspost to tumblr if possible, using the tags specified above.
