Here in the northern hemisphere the nights are drawing in, so lets light things up with some excellent fics from your wonderful profiles! Welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange!

What's the Long Deadline Profile Exchange?

This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with some information about the sorts of stories they write. Then, participants look through the available profiles, and read and leave comments on stories (one-shots or a chapter of a longer fic) by authors who catch their fancy. Leaving a kudos would be nice too!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Sunday 4th October, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION is Saturday 10th October, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

Here's a time zone converter for anyone who needs it.

The Rules

Post your profile link with a short summary of the kinds of stories one might find there (fandom, genre, rating, etc.). Please spoiler anything triggering or NSFW.

Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters from 4 different profiles (one from each).

Please include in your submission a counter such as, "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track of the number of reviews you've done. There's no need to also note which stories or authors you have reviewed.

After you've left a comment, reply to their post on here to let them know. For anyone new, 'K&C' in a reply stands for 'Kudos and Comment'.

Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell that you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Did something crack you up? Were you brought to tears? Did you have a favourite part? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words per review. ConCrit, stating you are "fandom blind" and/or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.

Please only reply to an individual entry when you've read their fic or if you want to ask a question. Also, please refrain from adding GIFs and images to replies as they are not relevant to whether you've reviewed a fic. We're happy that you're excited about reading, but unfortunately these make it hard for users (and mods!) to navigate the thread.

If possible, it would be awesome if everyone read at least one person who is new to them.

If you enter the exchange, please do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something in a timely manner.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

Happy Friday everyone, and welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange! It's time to party!! 🪩🎶

Welcome to another edition of the constructive feedback swap! This exchange is to swap with fellow writers, to ask and answer specific questions about our writing. There's no specific theme to meet, everything is welcome!

If you’d like some suggestions about the kinds of questions you might ask, and/or how to provide constructive feedback, I’ve made this hints, tips and resources document.

Rules

1. Offer up a one shot or individual chapter you would like constructive feedback on.

2. In your submission state fandom, length, rating, any relevant warnings (please spoiler NSFW and potential triggers) and the questions you are looking to have answered about your work. There’s no maximum number of questions, however please consider the time it will take someone to review your work and answer them constructively.

3. Look through the thread for someone to swap with. Because of the kind of exchange this is, you don't have to pick something you’ve never commented on before. In fact, if you have already read it, you might find giving the feedback easier. If you offer a swap, the other person can decline for any reason, and they don't need to specify those reasons.

4. 🚨This is important!🚨 For all your swaps, agree upfront how the feedback will be provided. This might be in a public ao3 comment, by DM on reddit or discord, a shared Google doc created for the purpose, or another mutually agreed method.

5. If you don't find a swap, then you may consider your obligations under this exchange fulfilled. There are no limits on the number of swaps you can make, however please consider the extra effort which will be required in order to complete your obligations.

6. Once a swap is agreed please edit your post to state who you are swapping with, and edit again once the constructive feedback has been provided to help me keep track.

7. For posted works, it would be nice to leave a kudos on the fic if you enjoyed it. A public comment, if you are not providing your feedback that way, is a courtesy rather than a requirement for this exchange. Once you provide the requested constructive feedback in the manner agreed, your obligations have been fulfilled.

Deadlines

Enter and agree swaps by: 13th September 2026, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

Feedback Deadline: 18th September 2026, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

It's peer learning time! Let's swap some fics and get some constructive feedback on our work!

Happy Friday everyone, and welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange! It's time to share our imaginations!

Welcome to the August edition of our Monthly Shlong Swap Review Exchange!

In this exchange, we offer up our short-long fics and swap with other writers for a minimum of 10k words.

WHAT IS A SHLONG?

DEADLINES – all are 11:59 PM EST (UTC-5):

To enter: August 7th

To finalize swaps: August 10th

To complete swaps: August 24th

Here’s a time zone converter.

THE RULES:

1. Offer up a long fic, or a specific arc of a long fic, which is at least 10k words. Works must be posted at the time of the swap. In your entry, include: title and link, fandom, rating, summary, any content warnings (spoiler triggering and NSFW content), and the word count being offered (specifying whether this refers to the whole fic, a set number of chapters, or an arc).

2. Look through the thread to find stories to swap for. Swaps can be for chapter count, word count, or a combination of both, provided it’s explicitly agreed between both parties upfront. You may turn down a proposed swap for any reason, you don't need to explain why.

3. Record your swaps clearly, including the Reddit username of your swap partner (without the “u/”) and a counter for the number of chapters you have agreed to review. Mark swaps once they are complete, as below:

Swap 1: Reddit Username - 0/4

Swap 2: Reddit Username - 3/5

Swap 3: Reddit Username - 10/10 - completed

Participants may not have more than three (3) incomplete swaps at any time.

If you are unable to find a swap partner by the deadline, you have no review obligations. However, please do not delete your entry, as the mod team will need to take note of this.

IMPORTANT: All the usual subreddit rules apply. As per Rule 8, all reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, and detailed, with a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself per chapter, demonstrating you’ve actually read the agreed portion of the fic.

Concrit (constructive criticism) and mentioning that you are “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Don’t include any of these in your reviews unless the author has explicitly said they are welcome.

If you want guidance on giving reviews, check out our Review Guidelines and Resources.

As always, if you have any concerns or questions about the exchange or the reviews you received, please contact us through modmail.

Happy Shlonging!

#This exchange is now closed to new entries, you have two more days to leave your recommendations.

An E-rated review exchange with a twist 😏 You request a specific type of spicy story you want recs for, and then other participants will recommend fics from their own works that match what you're looking for.

Think tropes, vibes or kinks you enjoy. Be specific enough to get good suggestions but not so narrow... Examples:

I’m craving protective/possessive dynamics, dark temptation, morally dubious seduction

I'd love sweet first times or warm, fluffy established-relationship sex

Give me anything with threesomes/moresomes in any combo or "fuck or die" scenarios

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY⤵️

HOW THIS EXCHANGE WORKS:

Join by posting your request – you must request recs before recommending to others. Recommendations from participants who have not posted their own request will be removed.

Keep the space safe and inclusive (Rule 12) – DO NOT list dislikes or "don't wants" or specific fandoms. If your entry breaks these, it will be removed.

You must read and review at least four (4) fics to complete your review requirements. You are not required to read every rec you receive. If by the time the recommendation deadline passes, you still have not been given at least 4 recs, please choose from the recs left under other participants' entries to complete your 4 reviews.

Recommend only one (1) fic per participant – no fic dumps, no linking your entire profile, no essay-length pitches. But you're free to recommend a fitting smut fic of yours to as many requests as you like.

When recommending, please include: Title/Link, Fandom, a very short summary and word count. Tag and spoiler anything triggering (NSFW doesn't need to be spoilered).

Keep in mind Rule 8: Reviews must be genuine and thoughtful, demonstrating real engagement with the fic. We recommend a minimum of 50 words. Concrit (constructive criticism) and mentions of being "fandom blind" or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.

After leaving a comment on AO3/FFN/etc., reply to the author on this thread to let them know. You do not need to reply to the recs you are not reading.

Track your reviews and update your entry – Reviewed: 0/4 or something similar.

Do not delete your entry. If you have any concerns or need an extension, message us via modmail.

DEADLINE TO JOIN (i.e. to post your request): 21st July, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

DEADLINE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS: 23rd July, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

DEADLINE TO COMPLETE REVIEWS: 28th July, 10pm BST (UTC+1)

Here’s a link to a previous run of this type of exchange, it should help clarify how this works :)

Happy recommending and reviewing! 🔥

Hello all!

It's the start of another week and so I thought it was a great time to reach out and see how everyone is doing.

As always, life is a mix of good and frustrating. My cricket team (as in the one I play in) won a match we were not expecting to at the weekend, which was great. On the other hand term is coming to an end soon which means keeping track of the timings of a huge number of events and feeling like we're constantly about to forget something important.

Writing wise, I've managed to finish my fest fic (yay!) and now need to return to my novel draft in earnest.

So how are you fairing? 💜

Happy Friday everyone, and welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange!
