It has come to my attention that AO3 is auto-changing the capitalizations of some Additional Tags that are nominated as titles in the exchange tagset. If this happened to any Additional Tags that you nominated, please feel free to comment on this post with the title as you intended it capitalized. This is optional only, not required in any form.
Below this cut is a running list of titles with corrected capitalizations, in alphabetical order:
( Read more... )
ETA, Spelling Correction: The title "If You Phone Goes 'ba-ding' One More Time (I Swear To God I'll Pinch You)" has been added to the tagset with corrected spelling/grammar, as "If Your Phone Goes 'ba-ding' One More Time (I Swear To God I'll Pinch You)".
The purpose of this post is to serve as a reference from which exchange participants can "opt-in" to a title in its correctly-capitalized form. If you are requesting any titles that appear in this post and would prefer their correctly-capitalized form, please opt-in to them in the AO3 sign-up box. This means that the sign-up box may now contain DNWs & capitalization opt-ins from this post.
If you prefer the version of a title exactly as it appears in the tagset, then you do not have to opt-in to its correctly-capitalized form in the signup.
When titling works created for this exchange, you may (1) use the version of a title exactly as it appears in the tagset, regardless of whether it is included this post OR (2) use the correctly-capitalized form from this post, if your recipient has opted-in to it.
If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment below or send an email to implodinglittlehearts@gmail.com.
