Signups Open!

candyheartsex

Thursday, January 1st, 2026 12:02 am

Signups are now open!

Please consult the tagset for the list of fandoms and relationships you can request and offer. If you can't find a canon you nominated, make sure to check Uncategorized Fandoms, which is where fandoms will be listed if they haven't appeared on AO3 yet or if I've had to alter the canonical tag.

Important: While the Relationships field on the signup form has a dropdown that, when you start typing, should connect with the tagset, AO3 always doesn't display all nominated relationships for a fandom. If the relationship you're trying to request/offer is in the tagset but not appearing as a selection that you can make, please copy-paste it directly from tagset into your signup form. This will let the system recognize that it's the same tag.

Remember, Character A & Character B is platonic, Character A/Character B is romantic/sexual.

There's a letters post, if you want to link your letter there, and you'll also be able to browse requests either on AO3 or the app.

Signups will be open until January 7, 11:59PM EST. Please see the signup rules here.

You can comment here or contact the mod email--candyheartsex at gmail dot com--if you have any questions.

Letters Post

candyheartsex

Thursday, January 1st, 2026 12:04 am

If you've written a Candy Hearts letter, you can link it here for easy perusal! These letters are optional, and your creator isn't obligated to adhere to them (though they must abide by any do-not-wants listed in your actual signup), but they can provide helpful extra details--prompts, general likes, descriptions of how you see the requested relationships, etc.

Please do not post a link to your letter here unless it is complete and unlocked.

For ease of reference, please record your details as follows:

AO3 Name:
Letter link:

Fandom #1:
Art &/or Fic &/or Podfic:
Relationship(s):

Fandom #2:
Art &/or Fic &/or Podfic:
Relationship(s):

And so on!

Fandom/Relationship Promo Post

candyheartsex

Wednesday, December 31st, 2025 08:24 pm

If you want to promote your fandom or the relationships you want to request/create for, this post is for you!

How you write your your recommendations, enthusiastic squeeing, or manifestos is up to you, but please put the name of your canon in the subject line of your comment. Here--with liberal borrowing from Yuletide's promo setup--are some other things you may want to include:

Title
Medium (e.g., Book Series, Podcast, TV Show, etc.)
Approximate Length (e.g., page count, runtime, etc. This is also a good place to mention if only a specific installment of the canon is relevant to the relationship(s) you're requesting.)
Where to (Legally) Find It
Brief Description
What You Love About the Canon
What You Love About Your Ship(s)
Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For
Content Notes (e.g., incest, period-typical attitudes, noncon, torture, etc. These notes are optional and may not cover everything even if they're included.)

Please post a separate comment for each promo you do, so the canon title can always be highlighted in the subject line.

Привет! LiveJournal imports may be slow

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️
