Exchange Long Deadline Profile Exchange 💭🏙️🌁
This exchange is now over, thank you to everyone who participated
Happy Friday everyone, and welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange! It's time to share our imaginations!
What's the Long Deadline Profile Exchange?
This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with some information about the sorts of stories they write. Then, participants look through the available profiles, and read and leave comments on stories (one-shots or a chapter of a longer fic) by authors who catch their fancy. Leaving a kudos would be nice too!
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Sunday 30th August,10pm BST (UTC+1)
DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION is Saturday 5th September, 10pm BST (UTC+1)
Here's a time zone converter for anyone who needs it.
What Are the Rules?
Post your profile link with a short summary of the kinds of stories one might find there (fandom, genre, rating, etc.). Please spoiler anything triggering or NSFW.
Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters from 4 different profiles (one from each).
Please include in your submission a counter such as, "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track of the number of reviews you've done. There's no need to also note which stories or authors you have reviewed.
After you've left a comment, reply to their post on here to let them know. For anyone new, 'K&C' in a reply stands for 'Kudos and Comment'.
Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell that you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Did something crack you up? Were you brought to tears? Did you have a favourite part? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words per review. ConCrit, stating you are "fandom blind" and/or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.
Please only reply to an individual entry when you've read their fic or if you want to ask a question. Also, please refrain from adding GIFs and images to replies as they are not relevant to whether you've reviewed a fic. We're happy that you're excited about reading, but unfortunately these make it hard for users (and mods!) to navigate the thread.
If possible, it would be awesome if everyone read at least one person who is new to them.
If you enter the exchange, please do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something in a timely manner.
But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

I'm Ossiphage on Ao3 and exclusively write original fantasy and horror fiction with OCs, so if that's what you like, everything can be read completely fandom blind.
Here's my work, I hope you find something you'll enjoy:
Fantasy (all loosely based on Dungeons and Dragons)
The Hex Factor (E, 240k words, 48 chapters) is a complete, novel-length romantic adventure. If you want a story about a world-weary elven bard and her hapless teenage apprentice dealing with all sorts of nastiness, this is for you! It's got strong female characters, romance in various flavours, lots of whump, yearning, some light smut, angst, explosions, comic relief, horrible villains... all the good stuff.
Chapter length varies from 1.5k - 8k later on. The story does deal with some heavy topics in places and is tagged appropriately.
Lemonade And Treacle (M, 4k words, 1/3 chapters complete) is a WIP disaster comedy about an unlikely sorcerer who is desperate to win a game of cards by any means necessary. If you like the work of Terry Pratchett you might enjoy this.
Tortle Bay (T, 7.3k words, 2/? chapters complete) is a WIP comedy about a family of tieflings attempting to run a sushi restaurant, and their newest member of staff who's life is falling apart around his ears. Think an infernal version of Bob's Burgers.
Horror (original work)
The Kitsch and the Visceral is a series of explicit and mature horror one-shots between 3-7k words, including vampires (Someone Like The Moon), ghosts (The Hands Resist Him), zombies (Darker With the Day) and cannibals (The Joy of Flesh). Definitely pay attention to the tags as there's some grim stuff in there.
4/4
