The Wayback Exchange is a gift exchange focused only on canons that are more than 10 years old. It is thus functionally equivalent to the defunct My Old Fandom exchange.
Canons are eligible if there has been no new material published or released in the previous ten years. New material includes sequels/prequels, new seasons of a TV show, new books/short stories, webseries or podcast episodes, or other similar official content. Informal supplemental information from a creator does not count.

The Wayback Exchange first ran in 2019. A total of 86 works were produced in 64 fandoms.
