FAQ
What is it?
Treat Yo Self is an exchange designed to reduce your backlog. Creators signup with works that they want to work on, and then are matched to someone who is interested in helping them. You create for six weeks, and then the archive is revealed with your work(s). Simple!
What fandoms are eligible?
All of them. There are absolutely no restrictions on what you can put here. Fandoms, characters, sentient or non-sentient objects, there are no restrictions.
What media is eligible?
All of them.
Are crossovers okay?
Yep.
What about original fic?
Also okay.
Are there any penalties for defaulting?
None. You're your own recipient, after all.
Are there any restrictions on size of works?
Nope. No size restrictions.
Can it be a WIP?
Sure! The only restriction is that it has to be in your backlog for creating.
How will signups work?
Creators will comment to a post outlining generally what their works are about. After the window for creator signups close, I will post the summaries and open it up for cheerleaders to rank which ones they want to cheerlead. From those rankings, I will assign people together. A work can have a maximum of two cheerleaders. If someone is unmatchable for whatever reason then I will post them as a "pinch hit" to garner more attention.
Do I need a cheerleader?
Nope. So long as you're having fun, that's what matters.
Can I bring my own cheerleader?
Sure!
Will there be weekly posts so that you can talk about your works?
Yes! Anonymity doesn't apply so you can be as open about your work as you like. We're all here to support you treating yourself, after all!
