THIS EXCHANGE IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE OG-FEST WRITING EVENT.

To join, your fic must have been written for this event and added to the collection. You have until May 18th 11:59 pm EDT to add your fic and post your entry here.

Deadline for reviews: May 30th 11:59 pm EDT

You need to review six (6) fics. Only review fics from authors who have entered this exchange, don’t just pick any from the collection.

In your entry, include: Title (link), Rating, Genre (optional), Summary, Word Count, Content Warnings (please spoiler NSFW and/or triggering content), and your review counter (0/6)

As per Rule 8, reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed, and at least 50 words about the fic itself, clearly showing you’ve read it. Concrit (constructive criticism) and/or mentioning that you’re “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only, don’t include them unless the author says it’s okay.

You should leave your reviews on AO3, then 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. If anything comes up, please reach out to the mods via modmail.

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:

Take care,

Heya again, everyone :)

Just checking in now that we’re ~2 weeks away from the OG-Fest Review Exchange! How are your fics going??

To participate, you’ll need to submit your entry in the review exchange posted on May 16. Please don’t start reviewing fics from the OG-Fest collection until the participant has entered the exchange.

You’re free to enter your fic in other REs and other participants can review your fic for those exchanges but if a review is meant to count for OG-Fest, please wait until the OG-Fest RE opens so we can properly track it.

The deadline to add your fic to the AO3 collection and enter the review exchange is May 18, 11:59 pm EDT.

In the “Post to Collections / Challenges” field, type/select: FanfictionExchange_OGFest2026

For the full event details and AO3 collection link, check the 👉🏻 OG-Fest Announcement

For concerns about participation or anything that may need mod assistance, please send us a modmail so we can sort it out.

We’re so excited to see everyone’s OG works and how y'all interpret Search. Happy writing and goodluck!

If you’re interested, make sure to check the Fight Club post. That’s where you’ll find the full deets, Da Rules, and the sign-up sheet. Signing up is very very important so your post can officially count as a quest. Only posts that are properly signed up can be counted toward Fight Club.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s already joined and taken on quests so far!

Here are the current Top Tyler Durdens (as of April 30, 2026):
