Nominations Guidelines:

Peter Parker/Pregnant Tony Stark (MCU)

Pregnant Tony Stark/none (MCU)

Peter Parker & Pregnant Tony Stark (MCU)

Pregnant Peter Parker/Pregnant Tony Stark (MCU)

For parenting focused relationship tags, please use the following format:

Loki/Thor & Baby (MCU)

Loki & Thor & Loki's Baby (MCU)

Loki & Baby (MCU)

If you want a specific baby, you can nominate it like:

Tenzin/Pema & Baby Rohan (Legend of Korra)
Keep in mind I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every fictional baby, so make sure the word baby is in there.

Keep in mind / indicates a romantic or sexual relationship and & indicates a platonic relationship. For pregnancy focused fic, you must indicate which partner should be pregnant (even for M/F pairings with a pregnant woman). You may indicate if you want both to be pregnant.

For Original Works, please nominate Original Works ships under Original Work (F/F), Original Work (F/M), Original Work (M/M), or Original Work (Other/Multi)

For freeform tags, they must tie in to some aspect of pregnancy or parenting.

Examples:
Accidental oviposition
Feeling first kicks
Difficult birth
Decorating the nursery
Finding an alien baby in the woods
Baby delivered by stork
Breastfeeding difficulties
Changing a diaper for the first time
Adoption application approved after a long wait
Character parents their own clone
Postpartum body worship

Rules

The following things are opt in only:

Abortion

Miscarriage

Child death

Gifts centering on a child between the ages of 1 and 5 (in place of the baby. Fics involving children in addition to the baby are opt-out)

Minimums

Fic must be 1000 words or longer, art must be a clean sketch on unlined paper. All works must include at least one fandom, relationship, and freeform tag from the same request.

Treats can be any length

Requests and offers
You can sign up with one fandom, medium, ship, and freeform, but I will only hold reveals for people who have requested at least three fandoms by the time the writing period ends, or a week after they went up for pinch hit if they were a post-deadline pinch hit. You can send me a message to add additional requests at any point during the writing period. I will only add fandoms for people who are currently a pinch hit, and no sooner than a week after assignments go out. If you choose not to add additional fandoms, your pinch hit will stay up, but I will reveal the collection whether you have a gift or not.

For offers, as long as you're matchable, one offer is fine. I'm leaving the details box open on offers instead of allowing people to tick a box to offer "any" so if you really want to offer any you can just leave me a message in that box and I'll make sure you match to someone. You can also use that box to offer things like "any fpreg in this fandom" or "any smut tag that isn't noncon." Anyone who isn't matchable either through their own offers or through anything they have allowed me to add will be contacted after matching runs and have 24 hours to get back to me with additional offers before their sign up is deleted.

Contact
If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me by commenting here or emailing me at storkswapmod@gmail.com. I'm also in discord (Talsong#3219, or Soulstoned in most servers).
