‘Swawesome Santa 2018: sign-ups are OPEN!
Hey everyone! Please read this post carefully and in its entirety!
CLICK HERE to sign up for the 2018 ‘Swawesome Santa exchange!
Here’s everything you need to know about the exchange this year:
1. Just like in years past, we’ll be doing sign-ups as well as fulfillment exclusively through AO3.
2. The sign-up period will be from now until 11:59PM (Eastern Standard North America Time) on Friday, November 16, 2018.
3. Once sign ups close, it’ll take ‘Swawesome Santa HQ a day or so to get matches completed and to send out assignments. My goal is to have this done within 24 hours. Then everyone can begin to work on their gifts.
4. Just like last year, participants will be able to choose their posting window through a sign-up process. You’ll sign up for a posting date about a week after you get your assignment, and posting will happen throughout December.
5. Same as last year, you can choose to create art or fiction, and you can choose to receive art or fiction.
6. Ultimately, you’ll create one work, and you’ll receive one work. The sign-up process on AO3 will allow you to define up to three requests, and up to three offers. This does NOT mean three fanworks, but rather, up to three options. You’re only required to define one of each. More instructions on this are at the end of this post.
7. Fiction should be at least 1,000 words, complete, and beta’d. Please do not post a portion of an incomplete larger work.
8. Art should be original, traditional and digital hand-drawn or painted art, but no graphics, manips, or icons. A good rule of measure is to create something you’d be happy to receive yourself!
9. PLEASE sign up only if you are committed to completing the exchange.
Have fun, and Happy Swawesome Santa-ing!!
