Three Signups-Related Reminders
7 April 2026 05:36 pmHope you're as excited as we are about the signups rolling in so far! You still have the rest of the week to submit and/or edit your signup.
We wanted to share three reminders related to signups:
If you have further questions that aren't answered in the Guidelines or the Signups Post, get in touch.
We wanted to share three reminders related to signups:
- Recall that you cannot exclude single drabbles from your offers or requests. You are still welcome to request or offer the other drabble types, you just can't leave 100-word drabbles out entirely from your signup.
- If you don't include single drabbles in your signup, we will reach out to you via the email associated with your AO3 account. Should we fail to hear from you by the end of the grace period (12 hours after signups close), we will unfortunately have to remove your signup.
- In this exchange, matching is OR matching. That means you will match on at minimum one character. While it's certainly possible your assigned writer will write about multiple requested characters, or even a particular ship, it's not guaranteed. Keep this in mind as you prep your signup and prompts!
- Due to modly error, you cannot select "Any" for Drabble Types. Instead, you'll have to manually select all of them. This won't impact matching at all, but apologies for the extra clicking required!
If you have further questions that aren't answered in the Guidelines or the Signups Post, get in touch.

Id Pro Quo 2026 Schedule and Rules
6 April 2026 04:03 pmId Pro Quo is a gift exchange for "iddy" fan works: purely self-indulgent creations that make you go zing! in that particular delicious way. Participants will create and receive a completed gift of 2,000+ words of fanfic or a work of individually made fanart.
2026 Links
2026 Characters & Relationships Tagset | Eternal Freeform Tagset | Signups | Collection | Dreamwidth Community | Automagic App
2026 Schedule
Nominations: April 16th - April 24th
Signups: April 26th to May 3rd
Assignments out by: May 5th
Works Due: June 30th
Works Revealed: July 14th
Creators Revealed: July 21st
All deadlines are at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5).
What does "iddy" mean?
See the Fanlore entry for a definition. In brief, id fic and id art are works that resonate with you on a deep level. This feeling can't be denied or suppressed, even if the thing that really gets you going is also something you feel is morally wrong, ridiculous, or not in keeping with how you see yourself. A feminist may get off on women being degraded; a cat fancier may harbor a fondness for dogpeople AUs. The id wants what it wants, and this is an exchange for giving it what it wants.
Iddy creations do not need to be sexually explicit. Maybe your id is deeply invested in drinking tea while autumn rains fall, rescuing abandoned emu chicks, or surreptitiously holding hands. Works of all ratings are welcome in IPQ. However, regardless of what you plan to request or create, you must be 18 or older to participate.
How do I contact the mods if I have a question?
Your mods this year are westiec and Tavina and can be reached at idficmod@gmail.com. Please do not contact us through discord.
Even if you have participated in many IPQs in the past, we have made some changes this year, please read our rules in full.
