TTSE Information | Pinned Masterpost

@trafficteamsupportexchange is a gift exchange hosted on AO3, using Tumblr and Discord for communication/advertisement purposes.

What is TTSE?

TTSE is an exchange that focuses on canon life series groups and their team dynamics, though the dynamics themselves don't have to be strictly canon nor does the gift have to stay in a canon compliant/divergent universe. Those specifications should be mentioned by your giftee when they sign up. TTSE intends to be strictly Non RPF, so anything created through this exchange should be about the characters and not the CCs.

What do I need to know if I want to join?

Fanfics have a 1.5k word minimum, and fanart (digital and 2D analogue uploaded under guidelines) must be fully finished to whatever your standards are. I am going to trust that each of you are making your gifts in good faith. [Gift Guidelines]

By default, assume that the wanted dynamics between everyone in the group is platonic teammates. It is up to you/the giftee to clarify your/their wants and dislikes when you/they sign-up, including but not limited to the following: your/their pov preferences, dynamic desires, what the characters mean to each other (romantically involved, siblings/family, best friends, etc), what you/they don't want included, and more. I suggest requesting more than one team or potential dynamic to help limit things going to pinch hitters.

Posting on AO3 is required (meaning you must have an AO3 account with gift receiving on to participate) and posting on Tumblr is optional. If you do post on Tumblr, make sure to link the ao3 work, use the hashtag #trafficteamsupportexchange and #trafficteamsupportexchange2025, and @ this blog so I can reblog your post here.

Joining the Discord Server is mandatory, considering that is how most of the communication and information sharing will occur. The discord is also where the sign-up link and other details will be shared. Even if you don't plan to sign-up offically, you can still join the server as a Beta Reader (can include helping with art) or a Pinch Hitter.

New Gift Exchange Interest Check (Traffic Team Support Exchange)

Reblogs and filling out the form above are very appreciated!

Hello! I had the idea of running a traffic life series gift exchange hosted on AO3 and focused on canon life series groups and their team dynamics.

You must have an AO3 account with gift receiving turned on and a Discord for communication purposes to sign-up. You can create and receive a 1.5 minimum fanfic or a fully finished digital fanart.

A server and dedicated Tumblr blog will get created if I end up hosting this. Posting on AO3 will be required and posting on Tumblr is optional, but you'll have to @ me when you post. More details will come later, but this is just an interest check.

In your sign-ups (assuming people are interested), you will use relationship tags that already exist with the default assumption of them being platonic teammates. In your wants, you can express any desires you have for specific members dynamics, such as what they mean to each other (romantically involved, siblings/family, best friends, etc). I suggest requesting more than one team or potential dynamic to help limit things going to pinch hitters.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll answer. I'll use the tag #trafficteamsupportexchange on any post related to this exchange for now and #ttse question answering for any posts that answer questions sent via my asks or the interest form :D

UPDATE: I'm a little insane so uh @trafficteamsupportexchange exists now, and we have a server! The link is on that blog's pinned post, though PLEASE still use the interest form to help determine the timeline and such!

Hello there! This gift exchange sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun and I hope it's a smooth run for yall, but I wanted to ask what's the deal with the hard limit on what visual art mediums are allowed. I know most artists in this fandom are digital artists anyway, but what is the reason for choosing to limit visual art participation to strictly digital art only?

Hello! And thanks, I’m hoping it’s smooth running and enjoyable as well!

The idea behind it being strictly digital is because the giftee is going to receive the art in a digital format, not any physical medium. That was my reasoning, anyway, but I am willing to adjust that if desired for some logical reason!

[trafficteamsupportexchange]

so uhm. i tried to join the discord and it said that the invite link was invalid. thought that i would mention it to you.

Oh that’s strange! It should be working, though I know invited have been going wonky some recently.

Here’s a new one: https://discord.gg/3YC3V8BfCY

[deityoftherain]

Hi Rain I love ur writing just wanted to preface this with that but anyway I really want to participate in the gift exchange you are running with the different life series teamups but the form says that the email address that I provide will be shared and mine has my deadname in it and I’m not comfortable sharing that is there anyway I could still participate?

Oh no! I didn't realize that's what it did. I turned on a setting that allowed people to get an email of their choices sent to them if they desired, but I suppose that requires the form to save email addresses. I have now turned it off, so you should be free to fill out the form without it saving the address. My apologies, I haven't used a google form in awhile hahaha

Also, I typically advise people to make an email account specifically for online purposes. It is useful for when participating in fandom, doing beta reading for people, etc while not sharing your deadname and/or legal name! It's a fairly simple internet safety thing to have an email for irl purposes and one for online/fandom purposes.

Also, hiiii i’m glad you like my fics! I love your treebark fantasy au <3

[deityoftherain]

Y'all, I did it- the blog is created and I have a discord server all pretty for people to join >:D

Please still fill out the interest form though, because I also ask questions about timelines and etc!

Oh, those are stunning! Yes, if artists were able to have that high quality, I would be willing to expand options. This is my first time running an exchange, so I am willing to learn! This is also why I set up this blog and the server before actually opening sign ups, so I can get input such as this and ask people their preferred timeline via interest forms.

To include analogue mediums, I assume it would be a different tag. Perhaps Fanfic, Digital Fanart, and Analogue Fanart would suffice? I would also make a list of physical mediums accepted, such as paper art like yours. Which other mediums should I list along with that guideline.

You’ll be pleased to know that I added 2D art officially to the roster! You can join the server [https://discord.gg/3YC3V8BfCY] and see the guidelines there or you can look at the tumblr post https://www.tumblr.com/trafficteamsupportexchange/765814026162864128

Wonderful :D

All those sound absolutely stunning! Perhaps, for the terms of a digital exchange, the analogue fanart can include any 2D art medium, but exclude 3D simply because it doesn’t comply with the digital format well? So like, crochet plushie/ wouldn’t be permitted, but a crochet diaroma would be permitted since it is viewed like a photo. If I understand correctly, it is like layered paper art but with yarn instead.

Question: If you post fanart where would you do that? If it's on AO3... If there is art posting on AO3 sorry for asking, but I didn't know.

Answer: AO3 doesn't host images, but it does allow embedded images. There are several tutorial posts out there, but here is one I glanced over, and I like how it explains what to do.

Question: Do you intend to run positions for betas / fills / support as well? Answer: Currently no! I tend to be fairly efficient by myself, especially considering this exchange doesn't require tag nominations, but I may ask some of my friends for help if I decide I need it or they desire to help mod the server.
