Single Character
Scott Summers (X-Men OTM)
Platonic Relationship
G: Scott Summers & Kurt Wagner (X-Men Comics)
Romantic Relationship
G: Clarice Fong/John Proudstar (The Gifted)
Crossover with Relationship
G: Clark Kent (DCEU)/Logan (X-Men Animated Series)
G: Rogue (X-Men Comics) & Tsukino Usagi (Sailor Moon Crystal)
You may nominate Crossovers under the fandom Crossover Fandoms. The other fandom doesn't have to be an X-Men or Marvel fandom. Original Works as a category is not allowed, but you may nominate original characters under what X-fandom you want them to appear in. A character must have appeared in the fandom to nominate them under it.
Overlapping fandoms are fine. Nominate the level that you want it to be.
Note: The MCU is not eligible for this exchange, though you are welcome to include it in the crossovers.
Sign-Ups
You must request and offer at least three distinct, different things. These can be three characters/ships in one fandom, three characters/ships in different fandoms, or any similar combinations. Crossovers do not count toward the three things. The max limit will be ten fandoms with up to 20 characters/relationships each.
You can do three different versions of the same character or ship, but they should be from three distinct universes or parts of canon. Erik/Charles (X-Men Movies Original Timeline), Erik/Charles (X-Men Movies Alternate Timeline), and Erik/Charles (X-Men - Comics) is fine, but breaking it up like Erik/Charles (X-Men movie), Erik/Charles (X2), Erik/Charles (The Last Stand) is not.
If nothing you offer matches what anyone is requesting then you will be emailed to expand your offers or withdraw from the exchange. You will have 48 hours to reply to the email.
DNWs (Do Not Wants) in the sign-up form must be respected. Ones in the letter do not.
Rules
-Respect DNWs in the AO3 sign-up
-The gift must include a requested character or relationship from a requested fandom in a requested medium
-Do not upload gifts that are unfinished, nonsense, repeating the same text to otherwise artificially hit the word count or otherwise not a completed gift

Sign-Ups Are Now Open
Sign-Up Form | Tagset | Request Summary | Sign-Up Summary | Countdown
Sign-ups are now open!
There is a known AO3 bug where not all tags will appear in the drop down menu. If you encounter this then copy and paste the tag from the tagset directly into the sign-up form and it will accept it.
You must request and offer at least three different things. Crossover Fandom does not count towards the three minimum. AO3 is set to allow repeating fandoms so if everything you want to request/offer is in the same fandom then just divide the characters/ships between the three requests/offers. You can make a max of ten requests, with up to twenty relationships/characters each. AO3 is set to allow the same fandom multiple times, but you can only use the exact character/ship tag once. You can still do something like request Charles/Erik (ATM), Charles/Erik (OTM), and Charles/Erik (Comics) as your entire sign-up. It just prevents someone from using the exact tag Charles/Erik (ATM) multiple times.
When selecting "Any" that means any in the tagset, not any possible character or ship.
You must put your Do Not Wants in the AO3 sign-up in a clearly marked section if you want them to be mod enforceable. Do Not Wants in letters will not be enforced.
I am willing to add up to three tags for people that are interested in signing up but missed the nomination period.

You don’t have to request and offer what you nominate. Nominating does not obligate you to sign-up.
It is alright for there to be overlapping fandoms. One person can nominate X-Men (Movieverse)while another person could nominate the X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies) and both would be allowed. All X-Men fandoms are welcome.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men RPF are out of the scope of the exchange, but they are welcome in the crossover section when crossed over with an X-Men canon.
Any crossovers should be nominated under Crossover Fandoms.
Original Works are not allowed, but you may nominate original characters under an X-Men canon you would like them to appear under.
All characters and groups are nominated in the character field.
All nominations must have the fandom in parenthesis. If they do not then they will not be accepted. All relationships must start with G:
