Jukebox Fanworks Exchange

Here is the sign-up form. Welcome to this year's challenge! Sign-ups will close at 11:59pm EDT, Saturday 9 May.

You can request 3-10 canons, and offer 3-10 canons. If a canon doesn't appear in the drop-down menu when you go to enter it, you can copy and paste it from the tag set and press enter.

Each of your requests and offers must be tagged with 1-3 of the labels "Fanfiction", "Podfic", and "Fanart".

Your requests have a space for optional details. Go ahead and use them to talk about how you understand the song and what kind of art/fic/podfic you might like. However, your gift creator doesn't have to follow your prompts. They do have to respect clear and specific Do-Not-Wants listed in the sign-up (like "no pregnancy" "no scat" "no rainbows").

If you are requesting Podficcer's Choice of Fandom, it's up to a podfic artist what work they choose to record, though you are welcome to include likes and DNWs to inspire their choice.

Your requests have a space for a letter link, if you want to provide one. This link must be included before sign-ups are closed. If you are writing a letter, please have it complete and unlocked by the end of 13 May.

Opting in to treats: Please state if your AO3 preferences are set to allow you to receive treats or if you have this setting disabled. Include a statement in your optional details like Treats welcome or I have opted in to treats (or Treats disabled if true).

Podfic offering options

If you are offering podfic for a song or music video in the tag set, you are pledging to create both text and recording (500-5000 words). You are welcome to team up with a friend to create a work, whether you're the recording artist or the writer, but if that's what you intend, please contact us at jukebox.mod@gmail.com to let us know of the arrangement and to provide a contact email for your friend.

If you are offering podfic in combination with "Podficcer's Choice of Fandom", you are pledging to create a recording of a pre-existing song/MV fanwork, using your recipient's DNWs and general likes as guidance for your choice of fanwork. If this is the only thing you wish to match on, please say so in the Notes to Mods field so we don't accidentally send you a request where you have to write a story as well. Please make sure we can get in contact with you - ie, do you use the email account associated with your AO3 account? If not, please email us directly (jukebox.mod@gmail.com).

Notes to Mod in Offers

These are confidential notes where you can tell the mods (Minutia_R and Morbane) if you want to match in specific ways - for example, if you want to match on one request more than the others, or want to be assigned a recipient who has a letter. If you are a podfic artist who has to offer 3 fandoms but only wants to match on Podficcer's Choice of Fandom, please use Notes to Mods to say so. (Please don't tell us things like "I will not create anything in my DNWs" - if required to closely compare your own preferences and your potential recipients' preferences, we may miss something. Specific names, or anything we can quickly check, are fine.)

In recent years, AO3 has implemented a blocking feature - see AO3 news posts here, here, and here. This does not affect challenge matching, ie, someone you've blocked can still match to you. So if you have another participant blocked or they have blocked you, please use your offers and requests, your notes to mods, or both, to help us help you avoid interactions with them.

You can comment here or contact us at jukebox.mod@gmail.com if you have any questions about signing up.

Again, welcome!!

NB: Normally, we get the reference tables of all songs & music videos & lyrics up just before sign-ups. Unfortunately, I'm a little behind this year, so that will go up during the sign-up period. If you nominated, your links are still very welcome at this post and will help us complete the tables.

Thank you for all your nominations at the tag set and thank you particularly for coming back to provide links to sources and lyrics to us after nominating on AO3.

Nominations for this year will close 11:59pm EDT, Saturday 25 April.

Now that we've set up the collection, we wanted to highlight an additional guideline:

In the past, we've received nominations for videos that are dominated by silence or dialogue. Since this is a music-focused event, we suggest you discuss music video nominations with mods if they have significant parts without music. We are likely to reject nominations for music videos where less than half of the video contains music, or where any non-musical parts would make a significant difference to the narrative of the video if excluded.

Further minor query: We've approved 'Daisy Bell - IBM 7094 and Hatsune Miku (Song)' in the past, but it seems a little odd to format IBM 7094 as an artist. 'Would Daisy Bell - Hatsune Miku ft. IBM 7094' work?

Creator names are now revealed at the collection. Jukebox 2025 is over.

Thanks to everyone who took part, particularly pinch hitters! We hope you continue to view and enjoy the works and let the creators know of your enjoyment.

The deadline has passed! Congrats to everyone who has posted! Good luck to the handful of creators still working!
