Halo! After weeks of incredible showcases, we've reached the final weekend of our Fandom Showcase~

Our last stream will be hosted by u/Fickle-One1111 showcasing Kakegurui at July 18th 11pm UTC / 6pm CDT.

We hope you'll join us as we wrap it up 🙌🏻

Hiya! Happy Friday!

HOW IT WORKS: This is an r/FanfictionExchange event where participants post their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with a description of the kinds of stories they write. Others then browse the profiles, pick a fic (one-shot or chapter) to read, and leave a review (leaving kudos would be nice too!)

ENTRY DEADLINE: Sunday, July 19th, 11:59 pm EDT (UTC-4)

REVIEW DEADLINE: Saturday, July 25th, 11:59 pm EDT (UTC-4)

Here’s a timezone converter. Reminders will be sent out about 48 hours before the deadline.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Post your profile link with a short summary of what readers can expect (fandoms, genres, ratings, etc.) Please spoiler any triggering or NSFW content.

Once you enter, you’ll need to read and review at least 4 one-shots/chapters from 4 different authors. Please keep track of your reviews at the end of your entry, like “Reviewed: 0/4“ or something similar. There’s no need to indicate which stories or authors you’ve reviewed.

As per rule 8, reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, and detailed, with a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself, clearly demonstrating you’ve read it.

Concrit (constructive criticism) and/or mentioning that you are “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Don’t include these in your reviews unless the author says you can.

Once you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry here to let them know, like “K&C” (kudos and commented) or something similar.

If you join, do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews as part of the exchange. If anything comes up and you’re concerned about meeting the deadline, please reach out to the mods for an extension.

PS. Only reply to an author’s entry when you’ve read their fic or if you have questions. Refrain from chit-chat, gifs, or images in these replies. We manually check everything to track completed reviews, and with the high number of entries, extra replies make it much harder for us to verify who has met the requirements.

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

If you’re new to REs, see Joining Review Exchanges.

Welcome to the JUNE 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 EDT (UTC-4):
To enter: June 7th
To finalize swaps: June 10th
To complete swaps: June 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 – 0/2
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! ⛱️

Hi everyone,

We’d like to explain how we handle review monitoring, including what happens once reviews become overdue.

Review tracking is done manually by the mod team. Once a participant receives a second mod reminder asking them to contact us through modmail, they will also be added to Automod for pending reviews. This helps us track overdue reviews more efficiently as we cannot constantly monitor older exchange threads.

If you finish your overdue reviews after receiving the second reminder, please contact us through modmail instead of replying to the individual mod.

Modmail keeps everything in one place for the whole team, avoids missed notifications, and helps us clear you properly. Kindly wait for mod confirmation before joining any new exchanges. If you join before being cleared, your entry will be removed due to pending reviews.

Please allow up to 24 hours for a response as we are an international team across different timezones. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

🔥☔

June is almost here~ which means summer vacation has officially started for some of us. Over here, we’re already dealing with the very ironic combo of hella hot weather and the start of rainy season 🌦️

We have a lot going on... our annual Pride Month Exchanges and the start of the Fandom Showcase, which will be streamed on Discord every weekend throughout June and July.

You can find 2026 fests/events, important announcements, and guideline updates under the Fest/Event and Sub Stuff flairs.

We’ve also included the tentative Exchange Schedule hosted by Fight Club participants in the calendar.

Disclaimer: Schedule may change depending on host availability. Timezones vary.

As always, thank you for being here and for helping keep the community active. We hope you have a lovely month ahead 🫶🏻

Hi y’all, our annual Pride Month Exchanges are almost here! 🏳️‍🌈

This sub has always been a safe, inclusive, and supportive space for everyone. So we wanna give some extra love to LGBTQIA+ stories and characters, and let the creators who bring them to life have the spotlight they deserve.

We’ll be hosting weekly themed review exchanges (REs) throughout June, with each RE posted on a Monday, depending on the hosting mod’s timezone:

June 1 – LGBTQIA+ Fluff
June 8 – LGBTQIA+ Angst
June 15 – LGBTQIA+ Romance
June 22 – LGBTQIA+ NSFW
June 29 – LGBTQIA+ Anything Goes

Pride has always been about more than one thing... Being seen. Being heard. Being able to exist as yourself—in joy, in defiance, in love, and in the right to live fully and loudly. We are proud to celebrate that here with all of you, one exchange at a time 🫂

–Tsuki/The Mod Team

Happy reviewing!! 💟

Hi everyone,

We're almost halfway through the year and that can feel like a lot in different ways. Sometimes things are fine. Sometimes they're not. Sometimes you're just carrying things quietly bc there isn't really a right time to be okay, or not okay, or somewhere in between...

So we just wanted to open up a safe space here for anyone who needs it.

You're welcome to share anything you feel comfortable sharing. You can vent, ramble, talk about what's been weighing on you, share something that's been helping, or simply read through the thread and be reminded that you are not alone.

There's no pressure to be positive or to explain more than you want to. As you engage with each other, please be kind to one another and gentle with yourselves too. Offer support where you can but please don't feel expected to carry more than you are able to.

We'll also leave some mental health resources below, in case anyone needs them now or sometime later.

Global Crisis & Emotional Support Helplines:

https://befrienders.org/find-support-now/in-touch-community-services/

Take care,
