Hey all,

for those of you who haven't heard of this before: we are going to have a Secret Santa Fic exchange this year, everyone who likes to write (and read) fanfiction can participate.


This is how it works:
Those who want to participate submit and enter a few keywords (something they wish to read about in the fic they'll get), and once all participants are accounted for, everyone is secretly distributed one of the challenges which they then have to write. That way, every participant writes one story and also gets one story.

Writing starts in the middle of November, the first story is published on December 1, the second on the following day and so on. If there are going to be more writers than days, there will be several new stories per day.

The stories are published anonymously, it's only revealed for whom they are, true Secret Santa style. After Christmas, the writers can be revealed.

Details:

Everyone who'd like to participate can send me the following details via PM:

- their pen name/the name they'd like to see announced when the authors'll be revealed after Christmas
- their wishes for the story they'll get (not the one they'll write- it's part of the challenge not to know in advance): say maybe up to three things regarding genre, and you can also name characters and pairings (please be specific whether or not it should be friendship or romance)
- if someone is uncomfortable writing about same sex pairings (or anything else), they should please say so
- if there's something you don't, under no circumstances, want to read (or write) about, please also say so
- submitting means to accept whichever challenge you'll get (on the above mentioned terms and respecting your specifics) and include the wishes of the respective recipient; in return, someone will do you the same favour
- the story should have a minimum length of 221 words

Since the stories will be posted in this thread, the content should be suitable for most ages and there shouldn't be any explicit sex scenes/ gore/ violence. Furthermore, there shouldn't be any spoilers for the new season.

Registration will end on November 10, that way I can sort it all out and distribute the Secret Santas so that the writing can begin on November 15. Ideally, the finished stories should be sent to me on November 30 at the latest. If for some reason your story isn't finished by then, please tell me, so that I can schedule it for a later date.

I'll put all the names in a bag and draw, along with the December dates- that way it's a genuine Secret Santa. There will of course be some minor adjustments which might have to be made (concerning the contents and, in one case, the date), but apart from that, it'll be entirely down to chance who'll write for whom.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask.
