As it's Christmas soon, we thought it would be nice to have a Secret Santa for the fandom. Obviously this is very difficult as we all live in different countries/time zones etc. and to send actual gifts to far off places would cost a lot of money, so instead we've decided to hold a Secret Santa exchange for fanfic and we'd love for you all to get involved.
How it works: To get involved all you have to do is fill out our sign up form which will commit you to writing a Secret Santa fic for someone else in the fandom. In return, you'll get a gift fic yourself from your very own Secret Santa. Thus you will both give and receive. Once the sign ups are over, you will receive an email from us with the details of the person you will be writing your story for, including a list of some of their likes and dislikes. When you sign up yourself, we'll ask you if there is anything you're not keen on writing and hopefully you'll then be matched up with someone who meets your criteria. (It's like internet dating, but with fic.) Reveals as to who wrote what for whom will be revealed after Christmas.
If anyone's worried about the time available, we're going to impose a word limit on the exchange stories of 1000-5000 words. This means that no-one will slave over a 20k epic only to receive a 100-word drabble in return.
Dates to remember:
Sign ups will take place for two weeks from today until Sunday 27th November.
You will then receive an email with your receivee's details on Monday 28th November.
You will then have three weeks to write your fic and email it into us to be sent off by Tuesday 20th December.
Once Christmas is over you'll then be able to post your stories to your own accounts, blogs etc.
We really really really hope that you all get involved, it's all supposed to be fun, and if you have any questions or comments to be made, you can email us at secretsantaficswap@gmail.com
