Alternate Universe 5k Exchange

Hooray! Signups for the 2025/2026 round of AU5k have closed, and matching has been run!

We have 10 participants who are currently unmatchable (do not have a recipient). These people have all been emailed - if your AO3 username starts with A, d, F, g, M, p, S, or T please check your email!

Further, we have 6 participants whose currently only match is to someone who is unmatchable. In the interest of making sure we don’t have any potential unmatchable cascades, these participants have also been emailed! If your AO3 username starts with H, j, k, m, T, or x please also check your email and get back to me!

Signups are now closed!

Ten  Eight  Five Three participants have been emailed about their matchability status — Usernames starting with C, D, F, H, I, K, M, and W, please check your emails!

Currently, I expect to send assignments within the next day or so.

Due to being done with tagset cleanup early, signups are open just under 24 hours early!
