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!

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
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!

no generative AI; basic grammar/spellcheck "AI" is fine
follows the wants/DNWs in the assignment

animations are allowed, if desired
please tag your art accordingly in AO3
follows the wants/DNWs in the assignment
is created in good faith
Analogue Fanart
any analogue illustration is to be scanned (or if applicable, photographed) to a high quality, meaning it must meet the following criteria: good lighting, well aligned, appropriately cropped, suitably sharp & in focus, color adjusted to reflect the IRL piece as necessary
any 2D/flat art forms are allowed (flat doesn't mean it can't be thick from layers)
3D art forms such as plushies, clothing, cosplays, bead candy, etc are not permitted for this event

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.

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.

This was originally an interest form, but I have now created this blog and a server for this gift exchange, so now I am using the above to gauge what time line people want, so please fill the form out!
I would appreciate it a lot if you joined the discord server, followed this account, and reblogged this post/the pinned post.
UPDATE: Exchange is going to happen! Look at pinned post for information.

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.
