FAQ

What is 'Rin Bowl'?

Rin Bowl, otherwise known as Rin 'Harem', is a term meant to indicate that any and all ships (including platonic and polyam!) for Itoshi Rin are welcome and accepted. It's a multi-shipper's dream come true!

What is an 'Exchange'?

Exchanges are (initially) anonymous gift 'swaps' of fanfiction and fanart that works by matching 'gifters' and 'giftees' based on a set of prompts. Your work will be posted anonymously to AO3, and creators will be revealed shortly after posting. More information can be found in our guidebook.

Who can participate?

Anyone over the age of 18 with an AO3 account is welcome to sign up! There are no skill level requirements or applications involved.An Ao3 account is required for this exchange. If you need an account, please request one here and contact a mod — we may be able to help you get one sooner.

What content will be allowed?

Both SFW and NSFW content (G-E as per the AO3 rating guidelines) will be allowed. Problematic content will also be allowed — there will be instructions on how to indicate that you are open to receiving/offering such content through AO3.

How do I sign up?

First of all, make sure you have gotten your AO3 account and thought up some good prompts and Rin Bowl pairings! The sign up forms can all be found here, and there is a sign up guide if you need any help!
