How does it work?
This is a secret fic and art exchange -- meaning, participants keep hush about the gift they're making and the identity of their recipient. Participants submit prompts/wants/dislikes so that they can be matched with a recipient of similar tastes. Gifts will be posted "anonymously" by your friendly neighborhood mods, with an author/artist reveal being made after a period of rampant speculation. *grin*
Gifts?
Fic and original art are acceptable gifts (no manips, etc). The choice of format is up to the giver, and it's possible that you may give art and receive fic, or vice versa. Due to the short nature of the exchange, we're encouraging authors not to get carried away writing an epic. There is a hard minimum word count of 1000 and a soft cap of 10k. Art is more difficult to gauge, but should be given roughly equivalent time and effort. Gifts must be created new for the exchange.
Drops and pinch hitters
Because the goal is for every participant to receive a gift, if you need to drop out of the exchange for any reason, please let the mods know as soon as possible. If you don't want to commit to the exchange, there may be opportunities to pinch hit (make a gift on short notice in case of a drop). Those will be posted to the comm as they arise.
