QAF GIFT EXCHANGE 2012

[mander3-swish.livejournal.com]

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR...YOU KNOW THE ONE...THE GIVING TIME

I have the honor of running the exchange this year! Thanks to happier_bunny for doing an awesome job last year, but she & Xie are crazy busy so that's where I come in!

This notice is coming later than usual, but there's still lots of time to write, draw, photoshop, vid, or whatever other medium you work best in.

~ A sign up post is to follow (all comments will be screened)

~ Sign ups will remain open until November 11, 2012 11:59pm Eastern

~ Assignments will be sent out by November 19, 2012. I will make assignments and pair you up with your gift recipient.

~ All gifts must be submitted to me at qafgiftxchnge @ gmail.com with the subject line: 2012 GIFT by 11:59pm Eastern December 29th, 2012.

~ Gifts will be posted December 30 -31st, 2012 (this will give everyone a little extra time around the holidays)

I hope many of you will participate. Last year there was about 42 gifts given, so come out, come out wherever you are, old fans and new! Let's make this year even bigger!

Like previous years, this round will be held on Livejournal and Insanejournal. You can sign up where you want, I will mix up all participants and then post all the gifts on LJ and IJ. That way everyone should be able to play. I'll also be spreading the word on Tumblr, so hopefully that will add even more participants into the mix.

RULES

Please don't sign up if you may not be able to fulfill your gift. IF an emergency happens and you can't participate, please let me know as soon as possible so I can beg someone to stand in so that no one goes giftless.

All submissions have to be new, everything else would be just plain rude.

NO Brian/Michael, no MPREG, no RPS. Everything else is fine.

Gifts cannot be posted in your own LJ, IJ or elsewhere until one week after they are revealed here (as user names are excluded from the post). I'll post a masterlist for reblogging on Tumblr.

I will make every effort to match requests with talent. I will also make every effort to fulfill each request. However, if for some reason, your request cannot be fulfilled, I would hope that whatever is substituted will be accepted with gratitude and dignity and with the spirit in which is was intended.

Please feel free to pimp away...and beg all fans to come and participate. Questions? Ask away!

The qaf gift exchange is something I've always wanted to try, but have never gotten around to. But as you're running the show this year (*g*), I think i would be a good year to seriously consider it. Stupid question though... what constitutes a gift? For fic, is there a minimum or maximum word count? (sorry for the dumb question... newbee here...)

yay! i was hoping you'd sign up!

Basically you offer what you're willing to create, medium wise (abilities), length (and not willing ie death!fic or AUs or something) and then I pair that with a request/prompt from someone else, which could be anything from post-513 to whatever.

you could request a vid, (providing a song and theme usually), a fanmix, some sort of graphic or icons (like if you needed some graphic for the 3rd part of your series or something) or headers/banners, picspams, gifs... Seriously, some awesome graphics people have signed up. but you're always welcome to request fic as well.
