mm_raresThe full Requests Summary is now visible. We're making this available for people who are interested in giving treats.
Per the FAQ:
25. What are treats?
Treats are extra gift work that may be written by participants (and sometimes even non-participant authors). Some participants might choose to write a second fic or create a second piece of art for their recipient. The full list of requests will be made available on the AO3 approximately three weeks prior to the deadline, and this list can be used as inspiration for treats as well. Treats are neither required or expected, but are certainly welcome.
If you decide to give a treat, you won't have an assignment and therefore won't be able to use the "Post to fulfill" button. Instead, go to the current challenge page on the AO3, and click on the "Post To Collection" button. This will take you to a form with the challenge collection name pre-filled. You will need to enter the recipient's name in the "Gift this work to" box, then fill in the rest of the form as you normally would when posting a work and post.
26. Do treats need to meet the same requirements as a work that fulfills a request?
No. Because treats are optional and are over and above the exchange gift, there is no minimum word count on fics and more flexibility in terms of art work. Manips, icons, wallpapers, etc. are acceptable when given as treats.
The deadline for treats is a little later than assigned works to give a few extra days for authors and artists to do something extra if they're so inclined. The due date for treats will be August 26 @ 8:00pm PDT. You do not need to be signed up as a participant in the exchange to give a treat and you're not limited in number as to how many you choose to gift.
If you have any questions,please let us know!
