Do I need to know all of the series the artist has done?

Nope! Pairings for the exchange will be set up so that everyone will be creating for series and characters they're familiar with, to the best of my ability.

There is thus far no word minimum or limit for fic, but please do not wait until the last minute to rush something! There will be reminders and the opportunity to drop out and have somebody else create a gift for your partner if you find yourself unable to finish.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: HIRAETH - The End of the Journey (2020 - 22)

NOTE: This is a rejected self-submission, since it really can't be considered yuri at all. However, the main character's core arc of coming to terms with her girlbestfriend's death definitely has romantic undertones, and with the author being Yuhki Kamatani, I'm willing to believe that was the intended reading.

HIRAETH - The End of the Journey - is a three volume supernatural drama series by Yuhki Kamatani about grief and longing for death.

What lies beyond death? Mika, an energetic teenage girl, will soon discover the answer for herself. Struggling to overcome the loss of her best friend, Mika ceases to find meaning in her life and decides to die by suicide in an effort to chase after her friend in death. However, her fate takes an unexpected turn when an immortal human, accompanied by a god, prevents her from dying. After learning about the existence of the afterlife from the god, Mika determines on a new goal: to join the two eccentric individuals on a journey to the world of the dead—in hopes of seeing her best friend once more. - MAL

JP is available on Kodansha, who also did the ENG translation.

CWs under the cut. General severity rating: significant.

attempted suicide & suicidal ideation <- this is a major theme thoughout the series. the manga starts with the lead character attempting suicide to see her friend again. she regularly states that she wants to die, and all three of the main characters are on a journey to the afterlife.

grief and death <- both are major recurring themes. there's both minor and major character death in the series.

car accident <- there's a non-fatal crash in the first chapter. no one is badly hurt by it.

violence / blood <- nothing too gory, but there's blood now and again.

terminal illness <- one side character has cancer. while it explores her feelings about her impending death and we see her in the hospital, she doesnt die within the span of the series.

note that besides the undertones with the protagonist, the other two main characters are both canonically queer; one is non-binary (...and non-human, which is always a caveat in nb rep) and the other is mlm.
