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!

Any other questions, drop them in the comments!

That makes sense. I actually write *reasonably* fast (not at superspeed like some crazy people I know, lol) when I have someone to bounce ideas off and help me not get stuck (sometimes it's just a minor detail and my brain freezes without knowing it!) so there's a few I might consider working on. :D (Though the latter half of June will be insanely busy for me and I won't have time to write till nearly July, so will have to take that into account…) I'll leave the truly gigantic ones out of it, though - no way will I have time to finish those by deadline! (If this goes well, will you consider a longfic version of this, for a longer deadline? I mean, you didn't specify length, but there's a limit to what one can write in ~6 weeks, especially if not dropping one's life to do nothing but write.)

And yeah, I get the specifying contact details thing. Hopefully the communication will work out well for all parties involved!
