equinox_vidsFall Equinox kicks off today -- but it looks a little different than usual. This season, we're doing Equinox as a prompt meme rather than a gift exchange, to loosen restrictions, lower commitment levels, and generally make things easier on ourselves under the current circumstances.
The rules / guidelines are quite different this season due to the format change, so even if you're very familiar with the usual rules, please read over the ones for Fall 2020 before signing up or claiming a prompt:
Fall Equinox 2020 Rules & FAQ
Schedule:
August 18th: Sign ups open
August 30th: Sign ups close
September 6th: Claims open
November 8th: Deadline for vids to be uploaded; submissions close
November 15th - 20th: Submissions will temporarily reopen for late vids. Think of this as the prompt meme version of late treats; any claimed vids as of 11/8 should be submitted by that day.
November 21st: Vids go live
November 28th: Vidders are revealed

A quick overview of how this season will work:
For Fall 2020, Equinox will be a prompt and claim format. Sign ups will run for about two weeks, from today until Sunday, August 30th. When you sign up, you will be signing up only with requests (prompts); there is no vidder sign up. Vidders can claim prompts starting Sunday, September 6th, in a low-commitment format with no penalties for failing to complete a vid.
There are no thematic restrictions on fandoms. There are no safety fandom requirements, either. Any genre, media type, source length, etc. is fine. We've also added some things to sign ups to expand the kinds of vids you can ask for: if crossovers are your thing, you can now request up to 3 fandoms per prompt, in addition to the usual Multifandom option. Additional tags can be added to prompts to make them more specific and tailored to your interests.
Essentially: if it would make you happy to see a vid for ______ in the world, we want you to ask for that vid! If vidding makes you happy, we want you to make vids in a fun, low-stress format so that we can all celebrate your vids together.
If you have any questions, you can email the moderators at equinoxvids@gmail.com or leave a screened comment here. (Please bear with us if it takes us a day or two to get back to you, as a lot is going on at all times.)
