Reveals Are Here!
Dec. 25th, 2025 12:22 am
Works have been revealed for Ace Attorney Holiday Exchange 2025!
There are 36 works in the collection as of reveals, and we will be very happy to welcome any late treats.
Also, we have been made aware that, due to a glitch on AO3, creators may be revealed shortly. If this happens, we will allow them to stay revealed. Otherwise, creators will be revealed on schedule in one week's time.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this exchange possible, including our absolutely amazing pinch hitters!
Please go, leave some comments, and enjoy the amazing works!
Reveals Are Coming Soon!
Dec. 24th, 2025 10:51 am
We're on track for reveals in a little over 12 hours, on Christmas Eve, a little after midnight EST. But before we get there, here's a few things you can do to make sure that things go as well as possible:
- Make sure your gift is going to the right person.
Double-check spelling of your recipient's username and/or pseud, especially if your work is a treat! - Make sure that your work is properly posted.
If your work is still a draft, we can't accept it into the collection! Be sure it's fully posted, and without any glaring errors, so we know it's good to go. - Check your email.
If the mods have noticed any glaring errors, we may have tried to contact you about them. Feel free to email us any questions you may have as well! We're reachable at theexchangemods@gmail.com - Make sure your work is showing up as intended.
Is the whole work there? Has anything been accidentally double-pasted?Are there any notes that you meant to remove before reveals? Is the work edited, and have you posted the latest version? Is the formatting correct? - Keep working on treats!
We'll be welcoming treats to the collection, even after reveals!
Having trouble locating the work you posted? Here's how to find it:
- When logged in to your AO3 account, select your icon or "Hi, [username]!" to go to your dashboard.
- Select "Collections" from menu at the left or top of your screen.
- Select "Manage Collection Items" near the top of your screen, below "[Username]'s Collections".
- Use the buttons near the top of the screen, under "Items by [username] in Collections" to find your work.
- It will probably be under "Approved", but if not, check "Awaiting Collection Approval".
- If it's in "Awaiting Collection Approval" and you've posted it more than 24 hours ago, double-check that it's not a draft and that everything is right, and contact us if you have any questions or issues!
Thanks, and we look forward to sharing everything with you tonight!

Assignments Are Due Tomorrow!
Dec. 14th, 2025 12:20 pm
Just a quick reminder that all assignments are due tomorrow, by the end of December 15, 2025. (Countdown)
Your work must meet the minimum requirement of being a complete fic of at least 1,000 words or a complete piece of art in order to be accepted as a completed assignment.
If your work is under 1,000 words, a draft on AO3, or noticeably incomplete, it will not be accepted as completing your assignment. That said, you are welcome to edit and add to your assignment after the deadline, so don't worry if it still needs some polishing.
If you don’t think you’ll be done in time, please contact us at theexchangemods@gmail.com and we can arrange for extensions as needed.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to remind you about treating.
Treating is a great opportunity to spread cheer a little further, and also to create things for those prompts that really suited your fancy, but you didn’t get matched with this time!
You are under no obligation to create or receive treats, however, if you’d like to do so, here’s some tips to help out:
To receive treats, you must have the ability to receive gift works turned on. If you have a newer AO3 account (2022 or later) and want to receive treats, then you will need to turn this feature on manually.
To do so, follow these steps:
- Go to “My Preferences”, found under the “Hi [Username]” menu at the top of any AO3 page.
- Scroll down to “Collections, Challenges and Gifts”.
- Make sure the box beside “Allow anyone to gift me works” is checked.
- Select “Update” at the bottom of the page to confirm.
Don’t worry, you will still be able to receive the gift from your assigned giver whether or not you have “Allow anyone to gift me works” checked!
All requests from this exchange are available at the auto AO3 app.
Feel free to look through them and see if anything catches your eye! Just remember that all works must fulfill at least one of the requester’s prompts. There is no minimum word counts for treats, so long as it is a complete work.
Good luck to those of you still working! We look forward to seeing what everyone creates!
Assignments are out!

Please check your email, and let us know ASAP if there are any problems.

Good luck, and we look forward to seeing what you create!

It's time to sign up for this year's Ace Attorney Holiday Exchange!
This is a holiday exchange based around Ace Attorney and all its spin-offs. If you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney franchise, creating fanworks, and getting something made for you in return, then this is the place for you!
Writers will be asked to create a story of at least 1,000 words, and artists will be asked to create one completed piece of art based on one of the prompts they receive.
Want to take part? Here's what you need to do:
Step one: Acquire an AO3 account or log into the one you have.
If you need an AO3 account, send an email to theexchangemods@gmail.com or comment on this post (comments are screened) and we'll help you out.
Step two: Sign up for the exchange.
Fill out the sign-up form (see step three), and you're in!
Step three: Give 3-5 prompts of things you'd like to receive, and 2-5 offers of things you'd like to create.
These prompts and offers will be used to match you to other participants, so everyone can create and receive something that they'll enjoy.
You will be asked to specify if you want to give or receive art, fic, or both in each of your prompts and offers.
Feel free to include a list of things you absolutely don't want to show up in your fill. You can also include a never-ever list of things you don't want to create in your offers—we want to make this as fun as possible for everyone!
Step four: Create fic and/or art that fits at least one of the prompts you have been given.
Minimum requirements are one complete fic of at least 1,000 words or one completed piece of art.
Step five: Post your work to the community.
Just after midnight on Christmas Eve (that is, around 12:10 on December 25) all fic and art will be revealed for people to enjoy. Artists and authors will be revealed one week later. Everyone has fun and nobody dies. (We hope. Please.)
