Hello! I have continued the annual tradition of dragging my feet on posting a schedule and, as a result, pushing everything just a little bit later than last year. But 2025 is here! Some dates may be tweaked slightly before signups begin:

Nominations: 23 April - 1 May

Signups: 3 May - 11 May

Assignments out by: 14 May

Mandatory check-in: 7-14 June

Default deadline: 14 June

Works due: 28 June

Works revealed: 19 July

Creators revealed: 28 July

I'm also announcing a few rule changes.

First, standalone comics of 5 pages or more will be allowed this year!

Second, partly to support the ability to request/offer comics for different character combinations, I will be allowing participants to request and offer the same fandom multiple times. You must still request 3 unique fandoms and offer 4 unique fandoms.

Third and finally, the use of AI to generate text or images is not allowed in Fandom5K.

Rules are still being finalized, but you can read the draft here. Not much else has changed since last year.

Signups will close on May 4th at 10 PM EDT. Here is a countdown. Signup guidelines are below.

Requests
You will have 10 fandom slots for requests. You may repeat fandoms with different ships/tags. For each fandom slot, you may request 1-20 relationships and 2-20 freeforms. The minimum number of required fandoms is one, but if you request fewer than three unique fandoms, you are not guaranteed a gift and the mod will not delay reveals for you. Fandoms that are clearly different adaptions of the same thing, such as "Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber," "Cats - 1998 Movie" and "Cats - 2019 Movie" will NOT be considered unique fandoms for this purpose. If you go to pinch hits with fewer than three fandoms, you may contact the mods to add extra requests if your pinch hit lingers for more than a week or more than 24 hours after the work deadline.

You may request either fic, art, or both.

If you have a letter at an external site (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Google Docs, etc)., provide a link to it in the relevant box. Please ensure that your letter is complete by the time signups close.

If you have any Do Not Wants (DNWs) that you wish your creator to respect, they must be in the Optional Details box of your signup. DNWs that are only contained in an outside letter cannot be enforced by the mods.

The mods encourage all participants to use clear, specific, and reasonable DNWs for this exchange. If you have questions about the best way to phrase your DNWs, please contact prisonerex.mod@gmail.com for assistance.

You may request "any" ship or freeform. If you choose this option, you may be matched to someone offering any ship (in that fandom) or freeform in the tagset. Please be sure that you really are okay with receiving anything in the tagset; mods will not enforce DNWs for ships or freeforms that contradict tags in the tagset. If you are creating for a recipient who requests "any" ship or freeform, you only need to be able to create for one fandom/ship/freeform combination from the tagset.

Offers
The minimum number of required fandoms for offers is one as long as you are matchable. You will have 10 fandom slots for offers. You may repeat fandoms with different ships/tags. For each fandom slot, you may offer 1-20 relationships and 2-20 freeforms. You may offer "any" for relationships and/or freeforms. If you choose this option, please be sure that you are prepared to create for whatever relationship and/or freeform your recipient has requested.

You may offer either fic, art, or both.

Specific Nominations

Dishonored

Captor!Corvo Attano/Prisoner!Guard He Keeps Choking Out In Different Locations

Is this a canonical guard or OC?

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Prisoner!Loki & rescuer!Avengers

If you do not have a specific Avengers roster in mind, we can leave this; however, since the members of the Avengers change across the movies of the MCU, be aware that different people may have different ideas about who is in the Avengers.

Captive Prince - C.S. Pacat

Damen/Kastor
Kastor/Laurent

These nominations do not include any indication of captor/prisoner/rescuer/visitor and cannot be approved as is.

General Formatting Note

There are multiple fandoms nominations that cannot be approved right now for one or more of the following reasons:

The characters are not listed in the following order: Captor! -- Prisoner! -- Rescuer! -- Visitor!
The exclamation marks are missing or in the wrong place
The spacing around & or / is incorrect

These are all issues that make it easier for both the Ao3 system and the mods to flag and avoid duplicates. If you have pending nominations, please check them and fix as needed.

Whispering Rock Campers as Motherlobe Interns: same general ideas as above! who would be their mentors? what would hollis teach them? what kind of missions would they go on?

Whispering Rock Campers as Psychonauts Agents: same premise as above, just now as actual agents! whether they're junior or regular agents as up to you. what departments would they work on? what kind of missions would they undergo?

Satoko and Rika's time in St. Lucia: would love to see more their tension and the rift, such as satoko's time studying and being separated from rika, or rika turning a blind eye to satoko's issues as she has done.

Satoko Houjou's Time Loops: or i would love to see more of satoko looping! how does she come to the conclusions that she does in another loop? or are there any missing scenes that could be shown in loops shown in canon?

Life as a Piece in a Witch's Game: would love to see something ange-centered, how she's existing in a strange way as both a human and witch in different periods of time. her plane of existence is odd, after all! or what if ange accepted lambdadelta's proposal to swap sides and become her piece?

Life as a Voyager Witch/The Sea of Fragments: what do bernkastel and lambdadelta do as they search for new fragments? do they insert themselves at random? or do they promise pieces their aid to win the tide in a game they find interesting?

PH #5 - fic - Psychonauts (Video Games), Higurashi no Naku Koro ni | Higurashi When They Cry, Umineko no Naku Koro ni | When the Seagulls Cry, Mortal Kombat (Video Games 1992-2020)

CLAIMED - PH #17 - fic, meta - Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, Exandria Unlimited Calamity Web Series, Hunger Games Series - All Media Types, Tortall - Tamora Pierce, Emelan - Tamora Pierce, The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner, The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison

Request 1 by ChronicBookworm
Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
WB: Talking Animal customs (Narnia - Lewis), WB: Narnian Politics (Narnia - Lewis), WB: Intelligence and Espionage in Narnia (Narnia - Lewis), WB: Golden Age Narnian society (Narnia - Lewis), WB: Effects of the 100-year Winter on the Various Peoples of Narnia (WB - Lewis), WB: Cultural differences within Narnia (Narnia - Lewis), Susan Pevensie (Narnia - Lewis), Peter Pevensie (Narnia - Lewis), Lucy Pevensie (Narnia - Lewis), Edmund Pevensie (Narnia - Lewis), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I would love to read more about the Golden Age, early days, middle days, or the end, it doesn’t matter. What was it like? What were the Pevensies like as Kings and Queens? How did society function? What were the political challenges they faced, what factions existed, and how did decisions get made? What sort of issues did the Pevensies deal with as monarchs? How did they get their information? Did they use Talking Animals as spies in other lands? Or in Narnia itself? How would one counter that? And in terms of daily life, what did people do with their time? How did they make a living, and how did they spend their leisure? Or did they even have that division?
I’d also love an exploration of the fact that there are so many diverse species within Narnia – how did the Pevensies balance the sometimes competing needs of their subjects? To what extent does each species have its own culture, and to what extent is there a unifying Narnian culture? How do the various species get on? How do the various animalistic instincts of the Talking Animals and their physiological features influence their behaviour and customs? Are there differences between geographical regions that cut across species? Which differences matter more, regional or between species? Or does it vary?
Regarding the 100 year winter, what effect did that have on different creatures, both the ones that are adapted to winter climates, and the ones that aren't? How did the grazers find food? And what about creatures like bears, who hibernate? A lot of animals have their young in the spring - was there a baby boom once the winter was over?

General likes in letter, and treats are very welcome!

Exandria Unlimited Calamity Web Series
WB: The Replenishment (EXU Calamity), WB: The Gau Drashari during the Calamity (EXU Calamity), WB: Cathmoira between Replenishments (EXU Calamity), Nydas Okiro (EXU Calamity), Eaedalus Okiro (EXU Calamity), Original Character(s) (Exandria Unlimited Calamity Web Series), Any or No Characters (Exandria Unlimited Calamity Web Series), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I would love to learn about Cathmoira! What’s the city like, how is it organised and run, what sort of occupations do people have? How much is magic a part of daily life – is it like Avalir where it’s omnipresent, or is it more low-key? Is there infrastructure for learning magic, or is that all in Avalir? How do residents of Cathmoira relate to its sister city? What is the wide open space on the mountaintop used for when Avalir isn’t there?
Or what is the Replenishment like when it doesn’t lead to the destruction of a continent? What celebrations are there? What does it look like and feel when Avalir deposits its gathered magic? How does that change Cathmoira, and how long does it last?
I’m also very interested in the Gau Drashari – what do they do when the purpose for their existence is gone? How do their abilities contribute to the fight against the Betrayer Gods? Do they travel around helping defend people against roving fiends, or do they find somewhere new to settle? Is this when they find the elemental rifts, and the Gau Drashari turn into the Ashari, even? Is it a conscious decision to seek out the rifts, or something that just happens?

Hunger Games Series - All Media Types
WB: Victors and their relationship to their home districts (HG AMT), WB: Mentor's work during the Hunger Games (Hunger Games AMT), WB: Career Training (HG AMT), WB: Victors as Commodities in the Capitol (HG AMT), WB: Smuggling in the Districts (HG AMT), WB: Coordinating the Rebellion Across the Districts (HG AMT), WB: Past Hunger Games (HG AMT), Original Character(s) (Hunger Games Series - All Media Types), Any or No Characters (Hunger Games Series - All Media Types), Lyme (Hunger Games AMT), Mags (Hunger Games AMT), Finnick Odair (Hunger Games AMT), Wiress (Hunger Games AMT), Beetee Latier (Hunger Games AMT), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I’m very interested in Career training: how did one get to the point of being happy and eager to risk one’s life in order to kill other children? Was there some kind of selection process, or did anyone who wanted receive training? If there was a selection process, who did the selecting? Who was selected/trained, and was it voluntary or forced? What sort of indoctrination did they go through? What sort of skills did they learn: obviously weapons and fighting, but did they also train survival or how to get sponsors? How organised was the training, and how official – was it an open secret, or was it a matter of pride, or something people did on the down-low? And how did the Volunteers get picked? Collins has one throwaway line that the Reaping could go on for hours in the inner districts – what happened during these hours? Who decided which teenagers would go to the Games and which didn’t – and what happened to the ones that didn’t? When did the first seeds to training tributes start in the career districts? How did Career training and attitudes towards Careers and Victors differ between the three districts? When did volunteering become a thing? How different were the career districts in their approach to training for the Games?
I’m also interested in past Hunger Games in general! What kinds of arenas did the Gamemakers come up with? How did they go wrong?
When did the culture of selling victors start? How much did the past Victors see each other when they were in the Capitol? How did they settle back into their home districts as Victors? Were they welcomed since they brought food, were they outsiders, to what extent could they settle back into their old community – presumably it varied between districts and between victor, but in what ways? How did they cope with mentoring, and how did they cope with bringing home new Victors knowing the fate that awaited them? What sort of duties did mentors have? How did they balance getting sponsorships with keeping an eye on the Game and making sure sponsor gifts got to the Tributes when they were needed? How did they find sponsors? How much control did they have over what gifts could be sent? Could the sponsors decide to send something against the will of the mentor?
Regarding smuggling in the districts, how did that work? How were contacts made between districts? How were the logistics sorted? Was D6 a hub, as the transport district, or did they arrange it some other way? How much did Victors get involved, since they could travel (to the Capitol at least) and potentially meet each other there? Were there Peacekeepers in on it for a take? What kind of goods were smuggled between districts? The same goods that were shipped to the Capitol, or different ones? Were there organised smuggling rings spanning multiple districts, or was it more disjointed and disorganised local efforts?
Similarly, how did the rebellion coordinate across the districts? I imagine there would be similar logistics issues as regards smuggling, them both being illegal operations over the district barriers. Who was involved in organising the rebellion? Who knew about the rebellion, and how did they communicate? How independent were the various district rebel cells? Were there several rebel factions in one district, and how did they get on? How much influence did District 13 have?

Tortall - Tamora Pierce
WB: Women's Roles and Spaces (Tortall), WB: King's Own recruitment practices (Tortall), WB: King's Own non-military tasks (Tortall), WB: Collaboration between the Queen's Riders and King's Own (Tortall), Keladry of Mindelan, Fanche Weir, Buriram Tourakom (Tortall), Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak (Tortall), Original Character(s) (Tortall - Tamora Pierce), Any or No Characters (Tortall - Tamora Pierce), Oranie of Mindelan (Tortall), Adalia of Mindelan (Tortall), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

The Tortall books are an old childhood favourite of mine, and I really like the worldbuilding, the strong heroines, and the politics (that Pierce often glosses over as her stories are more focused on protagonists who aren’t very interested in politics, but the bits we do get fascinate me). I like how the universe gets more and more complex as the series go on, how what starts as fairly straightforward good vs. evil becomes more complicated, and the characters become more complex in later stories, but they don’t lose their hope and their belief in the goodness of humankind.
With regards to women’s roles and spaces, I’d love to see either how the women of the nobility manage their day-to-day affairs, or commoners – merchants, farmers, artisans, etc. What was considered a woman’s task, what was considered a man’s, which tasks were shared? How did Thayet pick her ladies? What role did women at court have if they weren’t among Thayet’s ladies? Under what circumstances could women own and run businesses? Which crafts were acceptable for women? How did Alanna and/or Kel going for knighthood change the common perception of women’s roles?
With regards to the King’s Own, I was intrigued by the parts of Squire when they weren’t fighting: when they were acting as disaster relief, building up forts, helping villages, and I’d love to see more of that – or of the King’s Own in general! Coram was in the army – what is the difference between the army and the King’s Own? What sort of missions/tasks are given to each force? And where do the Riders fit in? Are there ever any problems when the Riders work with the King’s Own – are there companies that work better or worse together? What sort of teething problems did they have when they established their systems? Where do they pick up most of their recruits? For how long do people sign on? What are the terms for regular members and for officers? Are is there a certain rank you can’t reach unless you’re noble, and how high can commoners go?

Emelan - Tamora Pierce

The Emelan books were very important to me growing up—I actually discovered them before Tortall! I loved the worldbuilding, and the idea of magic working through everyday objects, as well as the found family among the Circle and their tight bonds! I loved how competent they all were in their own fields, and how their competence was acknowledged and nurtured by their mentors.
I’d love some further exploration of Namornese culture and politics. What festivals do they celebrate? What gods exist in the Namornese religion, and how are they worshiped? To what extent does the Living Circle worship exist in Namorn, and to what extent is it tolerated? How is the balance of power between the crown, the nobles, and the merchants? Berenene seems to have gathered a lot of power to the crown at the expense of the nobles – did she have the merchants’ backing in this? How much is the war with Yanjing felt in everyday life – by nobles, by commoners, by merchants and farmers? How does the climate affect farming, culture, life in general?
Please don’t feel constrained by the questions I have asked: anything about Namorn would fascinate me!

The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
WB: The Role of the Magus of Sounis (Queen's Thief), WB: The Eruption of the Sacred Mountain (Queen's Thief), WB: Relations between the Little Peninsula and the Continental Powers (Queen's Thief), Eugenides (Queen's Thief), Eddis | Helen, Sophos (Queen's Thief), The Magus (Queen's Thief), Pheris Erondites (Queen's Thief), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

I am quite intrigued by relations between the Continental Powers and the Little Peninsula: how did Eugenides react to their betrayal once the war was over? What kind of diplomatic relations did they have? How did they react to the Little Peninsula stopping the Mede progress, and taking part of Roa for his efforts? Do they try to repair the relationship, or does it remain frosty, and how does Eugenides respond to their overtures, whether friendly or hostile?
Regarding the role of the Magus of Sounis, what is that role? Is it just a special advisor? Does it come with any special duties, remnants from when the Magus used to have magic? What did they Magus do when it was a position for someone with magic?
With regards to the eruption of the Sacred Mountain, how did they evacuate? Sure, the people who fought against the Mede got lands, but what about the rest of them? What about the people who refused to move? What did they tell people? How did they organise the evacuation, and how did they prevent people from going back on the assumption it was a false alarm? How far from the end of the series did it happen? What consequences did it have for the rest of the peninsula, in terms of climate, folklore, or anything else? Did the gods have a role in any of this, aside from warning Helen in her dreams, either triggering or preventing the eruption, or lining events up so Eddis would be empty by the time the eruption occurred?

The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
WB: women’s roles and spaces (TGE), WB: how the Barizhan Court works (Goblin Emperor), Ino Drazhin, Mireän Drazhin, Arbelan Drazharan (Goblin Emperor), Vedero Drazhin (Goblin Emperor), Csethiro Ceredin (TGE), Chenelo Drazharan (Goblin Emperor), Maia Drazhar (TGE), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta

This is such a nice comfort read book! I loved Maia finding his feet in court, how he started to flourish and come into his own, and how he, through his kindness and consideration, managed to win people over and start making changes for the better! I also love the politics, how people use subtle cues to signal favour or disfavour, the thought that goes into appearances, and back-room deals where people trade favours with each other!
I’d also be incredibly interested in seeing how the women’s court functions, politics among the ladies—both their own politics, but also how they move things in the national politics that’s usually seen as the men’s domain, how they wield influence over other ladies and over men, the different factions among the women – not just Csoru’s faction and Csethiro’s, but what other factions, among the older ladies, and to what extent does it mirror the men’s factions, what Csethiro is like as the Empress, Vedero’s circle and who is included in it, and how it interacts with other factions in the women’s court, what role Arbelan has at court and how she fits in, or what role Chenelo would have in Maia’s court if she survived – or what role Chenelo or Arbelan had before their relegations, when they were the Empress? How have things changed by the time Ino and Mireän enter court?
What is the Barizhan court like, and how does in differ from the Ethuvereise court? How would a person steeped in Ethuvereise politics fit in in Barizhan, or vice versa? What are goblin politics like? What are the various factions, what do they want, and how do they work together or against each other to further their goals? Are there things that are decided by combat other than who becomes the Great Avar when there are no heirs, and how are these combats judged – how is the winner determined, what are the rules, and what are the penalties for breaking the rules? How are issues solved if it isn’t by combat – by consensus decision or by rulings, and by who? Does the Barizheise court have something similar to the Corazhas, and who is included in that, if so? Who is included in the Emperor’s Dav, and how do the various Davs relate to each other and work together or against each other? How do social functions work when relations between the nobility and their households are less formal? Are there still barriers in palace and codes of etiquette, and what are the sanctions (social or official) for breaking them?

prisoner_exchange

Nominations are now open! Please go here for freeforms and here for fandoms & relationships.

You may nominate up to ten freeforms and five fandoms, with twenty relationships per fandom. Please use canonical tags for fandoms where possible.

Creator's Choice of Fandom - You may nominate ships under Creator's Choice of Fandom (for example, "C!Any Villain Character/P!Any Hero Character"). You may be as specific with nominations as you like. Creator's Choice of Fandom refers to any fandom in existence, not just any fandom in the tagset. If you request Creator's Choice of Fandom, mods will enforce DNWs for up to three specific fandoms, but mods will not enforce DNWs for whole genres (for example, "DNW: Yuri!!! on Ice" is enforceable, "DNW: anime fandoms" is not).

Relationships

Please include whether the characters in your nominated relationships are captors, prisoners, rescuers, or visitors. Both romantic ( / ) and platonic ( & ) relationships are eligible for this exchange.

Captor is anyone who impedes or is in a position to impede the freedom of the prisoner(s).
Prisoner is used here as a generic term for the sake of simplicity; as previously stated, all types of captivity scenarios are welcome.
Rescuer is anyone who works to free the prisoner(s).
Visitor is anyone that is not a part of holding the prisoner captive, nor working to free the prisoner, but is present while the prisoner is confined. Visitors are not prohibited from coming and going.

Remember to note each character's role (Captor, Prisoner, Rescuer, Visitor) in the scenario. Please use that order when nominating relationships to help keep duplicates down.

Captor!Alice/Prisoner!Bob
Prisoner!Alice/Rescuer!Bob
Captor!Alice/Captor!Bob/Prisoner!Charlie
Prisoner!Bob & Prisoner!Charlie
Prisoner!Bob/Visitor!Charlie

You may also include original characters or groups in your nominations, e.g., Captor!Original Guard(s)/Prisoner!Alice. Please be sure to assign a role (e.g. Captor/Prisoner/Rescuer), even if the descriptor feels self-evident. This is to make sure that everyone has the same expectations for that relationship.

Captor!Original Guard(s)/Prisoner!Alice
Prisoner!Alice/Rescuer!Original Character(s)

You may also nominate specific groups of "any" character, e.g., Captor!Any Canon Villain(s)/Prisoner!Alice. Please be sure that you really do mean "any"! DNWs for specific characters in "any" ships will not be enforced.

You may also nominate single prisoner characters. Use the format Solo - Prisoner!Alice. We will not accept solo captor/rescuer/visitor nominations.

If your relationship tag is too long to comfortably include the full words for their roles, you may abbreviate, e.g., C!Alice/C!Bob/P!Charlie/R!Daphne.

Freeforms

Please nominate only specific kinks and scenarios related to some type of captivity. Most freeforms will need to fall under a category to make the tagset easier to read and prevent duplicates. Categories will be updated as nominations progress, and a list of categories with a brief description of what they mean can be found here. Examples include:

Abduction — For Ransom
Alternate Universe — Prison
Attitude — Stockholm Syndrome
Captor — Succubus
Prison — Abandoned Warehouse
Prisoner — Captor's Worst Enemy
Rescue — Rescuer Poses As Guard Successfully
Rescue — Rescuer Poses As Guard Unsuccessfully
Rescuer — In Love With Prisoner
Slavery — Forced Into Gladiator Fights
Slavery — Sex Slaves

General kinks, such as Overstimulation, will be rejected. However, a tag such as Torture — Overstimulation would be accepted. If you need assistance with relating your favorite general kink to the captivity theme, you can comment on the nominations Dreamwidth post and receive help.

The moderators reserve the right to reject any scenarios and tags that are related to controversial real-world themes; for example, Nazi concentration camps.
