Welcome to the Tim Drake Exchange 2026, an exchange for fanfics and fanarts centered around the DC character Tim Drake!

This is an all ship-inclusive and kink-inclusive exchange. Works can be either gen or ship in nature, and any rating. On the sign-up form participants will be able to indicate what kinds of works they’re comfortable creating and receiving.

As NSFW content is allowed, this exchange is 18+.

For this exchange, fics must be complete and at least 1,500 words. Art must be a complete digital or traditional piece. If traditional, you must take a high-quality photo or scan of your work for online submission.

You can find out more on our Tumblr or join our Discord.

What are the requirements for gifted fanworks?
Create a new, complete story in English that is at least 1500 words long or Create a piece of artwork that is at least a clean, colored, finished line art on unlined paper.

Additionally -
Each work must match the recipient’s requested rating, archive warning, relationship/character, an additional tag and respect their DNWs. You only need to fill ONE prompt of your recipients.

What kind of content can I request?
Almost anything you want! All ratings, ships, and universes are allowed in this exchange.

What kind of content is not allowed?
We ask that participants refrain from requesting/creating any character bashing. For the purpose of this event character bashing is defined as an intentional request to portray a character based on an extreme negative bias. If your request or offer contains this verbiage, we will reach out and ask you to update.

Additionally no crossover fandoms will be allowed, however you can request AUs based on other fandoms.

How specific should my prompt requests be?
As vague or as detailed as you want! In general it’s best to think of a couple sentence prompt that allows your giftor to have an idea of what direction you’d like without being too constraining on their creativity but you can make it as simple as a pairing and a trope if you really want your giftor to go wild!

Each of your requests can be different so we encourage you to try a mix!

How do I contact the recipient of my gift if I have any questions?
If you need clarification about your recipient’s request, do not contact them directly. Message the mods and we will pass along your question. This helps preserve anonymity and keeps the process smooth and organized for everyone involved.

What if I don’t like the gift I get?
We ask that you still leave a comment, even if it’s as simple as “Thank you for this gift!” Your giftor worked hard to make you something, so even if it isn’t to your liking, it is required for you to acknowledge the gift. If you feel the gift crosses DNW, please reach out to a mod.

What do I do if I have to drop out?
Select Default on your AO3 assignment and/or contact a Mod as soon as you can so that we can get a pinch hitter to take on your assignment. The important thing is that your giftee still receives a gift even if you have to drop! If you fail to get into contact with us/are unresponsive to check-ins, you may be defaulted by the mods.

This is an 18+ inclusive event. All pairings, tags, ratings and warnings will be allowed. There will be no harassment for likes or dislikes. AI-generated fanworks are not allowed. More detailed rules are available on Tumblr. If you need to drop, you are not guaranteed a gift.
