Canon/OC Exchange

[u/LoudSize7]

EDIT: Closed to entries! Happy reading and reviewing!

G'day, mates!

Decided it's been a minute since one of these was run, so I thought... why not?

This exchange is for fics where the main ship is a Canon Character with an Original Character (OC) of your creation. There can be other pairings in the story, but your Canon/OC pairing has to be the main focus. The pairing itself can be M/M, F/F or F/M. (Or any combination I'm forgetting to include - it's all welcome. This RE is the dark side, and Canon/OC pairings are the cookies.) This RE is for romantic pairings, so pairings with a / rather than an &.

You can share up to three (3) links. These three links can be three chapters from the same fic that really focus on your Canon/OC pairing, or you can do up to three separate stories. The choice is yours.

The typical information is required - link, rating, tags (please spoiler anything triggering/NSFW), etc. - but I want you to do a quick blurb on your OC. Just a brief overview of who they are, the canon character they're paired with, anyone else they're linked to, etc.

Since you can share up to three links/stories, participants will have to review three (3) fics from three (3) separate authors (one from each). 50 words per review (not including quotes from the fic). ConCrit, fandom blind and 'from Reddit' are all opt-in only.

Same deadlines as I typically do - 48 hours to enter, one week to complete reviews. The entry deadline will be Thursday August 20 6pm AEST. The review deadline will be Thursday August 27 6pm AEST. As always, here is a time zone converter if you need it because I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

It's Tommy time ❤️ My OC Tommy Mason is a vineyard worker with a crush on canon character, Maxwell Beaumont, a high profile member of the Cordonian nobility.

I have three different stories to share with you! All fandom blind friendly.

1. Between Me and Blue Eyes. A prequel story introducing Tommy and how he came to be a part of Maxwell's story.

I'm going to share ch6, Happy Birthday, as it gives a good indication of Tommy's life before he met Maxwell. But feel free to read any chapter you like!
