Guidelines
This is an 18+ profic event!
We believe that fictional incest between fictional characters is harmless and encourage those uncomfortable with the subject to protect themselves, block and move on.✮All content is welcome, so long as it is correctly and clearly tagged. Due to the sensitive nature of the theme of the exchange, celebrity and RPF will not be permitted.✮As this is a fandom event, works must be from an existing fandom. This means we will allow slash reader or original characters to be included, but not original works.✮Creations may be SFW or NSFW, explicit content isn't required, the only requirement is that your request and the works you create feature an incest ship as the main pairing.✮As this is a flash event with a short creation period, the minimum requirement for fanfic works is 300 words, with a suggested maximum of 1200 words.
The minimum requirement for fanart works is a lined sketch, with a suggested maximum of flat colors or shading.
Works are allowed to exceed the suggested maximum requirements at the creator's discretion.✮When signing up for an exchange, it is an expectation that you show gratitude and leave a comment on any gifts you receive. Remember, fandom is about sharing in our love of our favourite media, so don't forget to pass along some love to those who create something special just for you.AI generated work is strictly prohibited.✮SIGNING UP✮✮Your request MUST include a DNW list so that we can facilitate matching.✮Given the time frame we suggest keeping your prompts short and simple. Do you prefer Canon or AU? Do you enjoy angst, fluff, or somewhere in between? Do you prefer your ships with a certain dynamic? What are your favorite tropes (only one bed, fake dating, wrong number, tinder hookup, etc.)?✮Requests must be romantic pairings. (This means they must have the "/" tag, NOT the "&" tag.)
Note: If a relationship tag is not showing in the drop down box of the signup form, you may need to manually type it out or copy/paste it from the tagset. This is a known issue with Ao3's system.✮We recommend requesting and offer a pairing (or pairings) for 3 separate fandoms to ensure a match, as unmatchable sign up will be deleted.✮Due to the short length of the creation period, there will be no pinch hitters for this event, however treats are always welcome and all request will be visible after assignments go out.✮Use the hashtag #folgersflash72 on Twitter when works are revealed to share and enjoy the exchange works.✮

Mods
✮Apa✮
Twitter
Mod Apa has dabbled in all sorts of incest pairings over the years but finds themselves drawn to siblings the most often. Miyacest, Batfamily (pseudo-incest goodness), and Daemyra are a few favourites!
✮Corsa✮
Twitter
Mod Dean is always a sucker for some pretty codependant twins and the angst of forbidden love. His top ships include Miyacest, Plantcest, JotaJosu and KomoSaku.
✮Rel✮
Twitter
Mod Rel has had a soft spot for twincest and brother/sister relationships for as long as she can remember. You can currently find her obsessing over Oriharacest, Miyacest, and Plantcest.
