Muzzle Flash is a fic and art semi-flash exchange focused on gunkink!
Gunkink, or gunplay, describes the act of using guns and firearms in a sexual or kinky fashion, whether loaded or unloaded. The firearms may be used as props, for penetration, or otherwise used in their usual capacity for shooting, dismantling or cleaning and maintenance. For the purposes of this exchange, 'firearms' can include: guns, pistols, rifles, fantasy gun weapons, gunblades, etc.
Everyone's definition of gunkink may differ, so as long as your creation involves some focus on firearms, then it fits the theme!
This exchange requires participants to be 18 or older in order to sign up and operates under a "don't be an asshole" policy. Participants who harass fellow participants or who are otherwise found to be acting in bad faith will have their signup removed at the mod's discretion.

Nominations
Nominations:
Fandoms and relationships can be nominated here on AO3
You may nominate 3-10 fandoms with 10 relationships each.
Please disambiguate all your nominations. Don't use pipes if not strictly necessary (pipes are the '|' character in tags such as 'G'raha Tia | Crystal Exarch').
To nominate a relationship, do so without any prefixes. Nominate Character A/Character B (Fandom). We are only accepting nominations for / pairings featuring two or more people.
RPF
RPF nominations are accepted for this exchange, with some caveats as below. Please nominate under the 'Celebrities & Real People' fandom.
The following nominations for fandoms will not be accepted:
- Nazi RPF
- RPF involving serial killers or mass shooters from this century
- Other similar public figures who have living victims
- Modern RPF for persons under the age of 18
- Modern RPF for persons not famous in their own right
Crossovers are allowed
To nominate a crossover, please nominate them under Crossover Fandom, and disambiguate every character, like Chris Redfield (Resident Evil)/Dante (DMC)
Original Works are allowed
Nominate under the Original Works fandom, and disambiguate the gender of each character in the relationship tag, like F/F: Hobgoblin/Illithid.Signups
Requests:
You may request 3-10 fandoms, each with at least one medium (fanfic, fanart or both) and at least 1 relationship. You may also request "any" in the character field, opting in to receive any nominated relationship for that fandom.
You cannot request the same fandom more than once.
Any unmatchables will have their signups deleted. The collection won't be revealed until everyone has a gift.
Offers:
You have to offer 3-10 fandoms, each with at least one medium (fic, fanart or both), and at least 1 relationship tag.
You can also offer "any" in the character field, which means you are willing to create a gift for any nominated relationships.
Additional details:
If you have any Do Not Wants (DNWs), please make sure to include them in the Optional Details field.
In order to be considered valid, your DNWs must be clearly labelled as such and must not contradict your request (ie: you must not DNW incest and then request an incestuous ship, or request a ship and then DNW one of its members).
Your DNWs should also be specific (ie: no "no unrequested kinks" as it is too broad) and avoid judgmental statements (ie: no "no gross kinks!").
Only DNWs stated in the Optional Details field of the signup will be enforced.
You are encouraged to input any prompts, likes and other details in the "Optional Details" box.
There's a chance that tags won't appear in the drop-down menu when signing up. In that case, please copy-paste the tag EXACTLY as it appears in the tagset.
Comments
You are not required to comment on your gift to participate in next year's round. However, we strongly encourage anyone to leave a comment on any gift they receive.Assignments
Assignments
Assignments are only guaranteed to match on one fandom, one relationship, and one medium.
You are only expected to fill one of your assigned recipient's requests. You do not need to fulfil the request you matched on, but you can choose to fill any of your recipient's requests.
If you didn't receive your assignment, or your assignment does not match any of your offered fandoms/ships/mediums, please reach out to the mod ASAP.
Minimum requirements
Minimum work requirements are one complete fanfic of at least 300 words, or one lined sketch of original art, digital or traditional, on clean, unlined paper.
Photo manipulations, AI-generated images and texts, in-game screenshots, icons and such graphics do not constitute a valid gift for this exchange and won't fulfil your assignment (they won't be considered valid treats either).
Fulfilling:
You can fulfil an assignment by going to your AO3 assignment page and clicking the "fulfil" button. Please note that drafts do not count as fulfilled assignments so make sure to post your work.
Defaulting:
If you can't finish your assignment, please default by going to your AO3 assignments page and clicking the "default" button on your assignment.
You don't have to justify your defaulting to the mod. You may still get a gift, but if your assigned creator also defaults, you won't go out to pinch hit.
If you haven't posted a work by the deadline, you'll be defaulted by the mod.
Extensions:
Please reach out to the mod if you need an extension on your assignment. We don't need to know why you need one in your request.
No extensions will be granted for assignments after the deadline has passed (pinch hitters will still be able to request them).
Anonymity:
Works should remain anonymous during the collection's anonymous period.
Artists may still sign their works.
Treats:
Treats are extra gifts. While treats do not need to meet the minimum requirements, please note that they should still fulfil one of the recipient's requests and follow the recipient's DNWs.
Photo manipulations, AI-generated images and texts, in-game screenshots and such graphics do not constitute valid treats.
Treats shouldn't be given to more than one person. Treats to the collection are allowed.
If your AO3 account was created after February 2022 and you would like treats, please make sure make sure your account is set up to allow additional gifts: go to Preferences and click "Allow anyone to gift me works."
We encourage anyone who does NOT want treats to specify so in their optional details.![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
