QAF GIFT EXCHANGE 2012 :: Closing Remarks

Welp, looks like we're all done for the 2012 gift exchange. Gifters are free to post their stories, etc to their own journals and other places around the interweb. (fyi there is a "community: qaf_giftxchnge" tag if you're posting on AO3)

I learned a lot of things during this exchange, so hopefully I'll be able to implement those lessons next time around.

[Poll #1889096]

Thanks again to everyone for their participation!

Current Mood: accomplished

TITLE: Who Says You Can’t Go Home?
GIFT REQUEST: Fic hurt/comfort B/J. Other Specifications: that last month between Justin breaking up with Ethan and going to work at VanGard
NOTE: Dear Sway, I am so very sorry you had to wait a week longer for this. Life is – well, life. And I had such a hard time with the idea that I could ever even finish this for you. I hope you enjoy it. And as penance for my sin of being late – I would offer another fic request to be completed asap for you, if you’d like. Thanks to Swish for letting me be a week late and not strangling me, for the read through and tips, and to Nastya for letting me always whine about how I will never finish it – and catching so many of my horrible typos. Enjoy!

TITLE: A Life Most Ordinary
GIFT REQUEST: Something B/J focused.
NOTE: I (mander3_swish) asked/begged netlagd to write something I could post as a thank-you to you (theextrac00kie) for the great banners you created for the comm because I myself ran out of time! I realized after the gifts started to trickle in that you hadn't been included in the mix for a second one... so she cooked this up quick for you! Heaps of thanks netlagd & such_a_steph!!! mwah!

Banner (and beta) by

such_a_steph who really is totally the best.

Gift # 35 of 36

TO:

mander3_swish
FROM:

galeandrandy
TITLE: Zealous
GIFT REQUEST: Brian, his fingers and what he enjoys doing with them.
NOTE:
I have taken some liberties with the exact request's wording and honestly would have used the request as the title if I wasn't so intent upon creating titles for fics that will eventually give me an index with every letter of the alphabet to soothe my ocd.
The timeline is season 3, so you can imagine them with the hair and bodies and ultimate freedom of expression I believe they shared then, however though the subplot has a little to do with the theme of the story, this could probably take place any time after 308 and beyond but let's say it takes place sometime around episode 309-310 but has nothing really to do with Stockwell, because though that is one of my favorite arcs, there had to be life and advertising outside of it too, imo.
I want to give a huge thank you to mander3_swish for putting on this challenge and allowing me extra time and to write more for this fic because I desperately wanted it to be as close to perfect as possible. I hope you'll enjoy it.

sangwin
TITLE: The Fucking Flowers

GIFT REQUEST:
Post-Series Fic Brian and Justin. A fic about Justin being with someone else post series and Brian going to New York and winning him back.
Other Specifications: No over the top shmoop or anti-characters (as in character as possible) please.

NOTE: Sincere apologies for my tardiness. It was a bit tricky getting my brain to willing picture Justin with anyone else. I hope I got close enough to what you were looking for and was able to keep the schmoop manageable. :) Happy Holidays and a lovely New Year!

The “flowers are not art” reference is stolen from my own slightly grumpy art professor. The thought has managed to stick with me in odd ways.

Contains adult language and situations (of course). This is unbetaed. Please forgive my mistakes.

TITLE: Riding In Cars With Boys
GIFT REQUEST: Post-Series. A fic about Brian and Justin living in New York. Just everyday stuff, would love some humor in there. No over the top shmoop or anit-characters (as in character as possible) please.
NOTE: Five times Brian and Justin are in the back of a New York City taxi cab. And one time they're not. I don't think I've ever written so much dialogue between these two…I hope it's believable and relatively IC! Sorry it took me so long to post it!
Dear Rory, Happy New and I hope 2013 treats you well! I have another story (based on your request) that I magically got an idea for just when I was about to really start hammering this one out… so hopefully that will see the light of day soon!

GIFT REQUEST: Fic romance, comedy. Other Specifications: I want Brian to cook a special dinner for Justin ...
NOTE: Banner (and beta) by the bestest

TITLE: Payback
GIFT REQUEST: Fic Humor Brian and Jennifer conspiring to a play an April Fool's joke on Justin. Something fun with Brian and Justin with some Jennifer interaction. Other Specifications: Jennifer and Brian team up that has Justin cringing in a TMI, that's my mother you're talking about
kind of way.
NOTE: I tweaked the “April Fool’s” part just a bit. I hope that isn’t a problem. I tried really hard. But there was nothing but whoopee cushions in my brain that day. ;) I apologize for any and all mistakes you may find, there wasn’t a lot of “beta” time. December proved to be the busiest and worse month of the year. So it was a rush to get this to you. If you hate it? Santa’s elves did it. If you love it? It was all me! Enjoy! Thanks for the great prompt.

TO:

guavejuice
FROM:

gabe1990
TITLE: Stories of Christmas Past
GIFT REQUEST: post 513/canon-gapfiller, angst free, a bit shmoop
NOTE: So this is part of my 'A Beautiful Mistake' universe. You don't really have to read it first to understand the story (you can find the link here though) but if you have read it, it doesn't give anything away since I haven't finished the first part yet. This has mentions of mpreg within, but nothing explicit, and focuses mainly on Brian's Christmas' through the years.
