Comrades, the Reverse Big Bang has drawn to a close. You know what that means? Secret Santa! Or midwinter fic and art exchange. Anyway, sign up to give and get fic or art - we had a great turn-out last year, and some fantastic fic. We're going to do this on LJ, although all fics will be linked in the newsletter on both comms.

We are making two changes to this years rules. ONE is that you say in your sign-up if you want to know who you're writing for. TWO is that you add a fourth prompt to your sign up. All fourth prompts will be posted in a list to the comm, and people who can't commit to an exchange, or just have some free time, can write fics to those prompts and submit them to the mod, who will post them as a gift to the community.

To sign up, email your details in more-or-less the format below the cut to cap.ironman.fic.exchange@googlemail.com by the end of Sunday 14th November. You will get a receipt once you have signed up; if you don't receive a receipt within a day or two, PM this LJ account or comment here. Depending on number of signups, you'll receive your assignments a day or two after the 14th.

Then, write your fic/draw your art, (Fic minimum of 1k, art... medium sized and up?) and submit it to the aforementioned email address in LJ-ready format, complete with header, by the end of Sunday 19th December. Accepted formats: Word, OpenOffice, plain text, or if you work in Gdocs, you can invite the the fic exchange address to view your document. If none of this is convenient, speak up, we can negotiate. Make sure you have put your HTML in! If you need help with HTML, you can email for assistance. If you need help finding a beta, email for assistance. The mods yearn to assist you in all your fic-producing methods; only tell us your troubles, and we will do all we can.

Posting format will depend on the number of entries, but the plan is to post them a couple a day to the comm over the holiday period.

Okay then! Queries can be sent either to the fic exchange email, or put here in the comments
