And now, a very special Forever Ficathon event:

The 2016 Forever Holiday Exchange

As the season of giving and the end of the year get closer, what better time is there to share our love for Forever with each other by giving gifts of fic or art?

SIGN-UPS CLOSE TOMORROW! If you want to sign up, now’s your chance!

Sign-ups will close TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 11:59 Eastern Time

How to Sign Up: Fill out the signup form on AO3 HERE

You will be able to edit your signup details until signups close.

You will be matched based on Characters, Additional Tags, Categories, Ratings, and Warnings. You are only guaranteed something that matches one of each of these (one requested character + one requested relationship category + etc).

ASSIGNMENTS SENT:    Depends on AO3’s match generation speed, unfortunately. Hopefully soon after signups close.

GIFT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:     WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017, 11:59 PM Eastern Time

WORKS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2017

CREATORS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2017

Topic: Anything goes. Your requests and works do not have to be holiday related. Do remember that you’re making a gift for someone else, though, and keep their preferences in mind.

Length: Unlike the regular ficathons, the minimum length for fic in this exchange is only 500 words. Anything over that is great, of course! Other creative fanworks are welcome as well - art, vids, fanmixes/playlists, gifsets, etc. For these, use your own judgment for size. All works need to be complete.

How Posting Works: Works posted to the AO3 collection will be revealed on January 7th, 2017, and a Tumblr post featuring links to each work will be made afterward. Between then and January 14th, the creators of each work will remain anonymous. Until “the big reveal,” you’ll need to keep quiet about what you’re working on - no sneak peeks, please!

What is a pinch-hitter? A pinch-hitter is someone who takes the place of a creator who drops out of the exchange.

How to sign up as a pinch-hitter: For this exchange, Pinch Hits will be posted on the @foreverficathon blog. To grab a pinch hit, contact us by email ([email protected]), and include your AO3 name in the email. Pinch hits will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Other stuff: The collection will be posted on Archive of Our Own, so you’ll need an account. We can help you get one if you don’t have one.

FAQ is here.

Do you want to receive a card from someone who lives halfway across the world from you for the holidays? Be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply one for the winter season, it’s always nice to get a card addressed just for you in the post.

TO PARTICIPATE, YOU MUST READ ALL RULES BELOW!!

  • You may prevent yourself from being able to participate if you don’t read EVERY rule! You’ll be upset that you didn’t get an address/receive a card, and it will be 99.9% because you didn’t read/understand the rules.
  • I’m sorry if I sound harsher this year than in the past three. I’m just fed up of hearing from people that they didn’t get a card, because that’s not fair! I want EVERYONE to enjoy this. Not just a select few!

(PS!! if you participated last year and didn’t send a card,I know who you are. Please don’t message me with your address this year, because I will not add you to the exchange. Thank you.)

If you’d like to participate:

  • I am only accepting and giving addresses to people with blogs that are up-to-date, and look like a human has been using it. Blogs with no posts, the generic icon, etc., will not be included.
  • [[[This exchange is for people who will genuinely, honestly send a card out, and not just expect to receive one.]]] I cannot stress this enough.
  • IN MY ASKBOX: Leave your name (first, last, or both), and full address with your country included. Make sure your ask box is open in case I have any questions for you!
  • Please have the anonymous option on your askbox turned on!
  • Icannot guarantee a card from a specific city, country, place, etc.
  • YOU MUST ALSO SEND A CARD.NO EXCEPTIONS. If you “participated” last year and received a card but didn’t send one, I know who you are, because I have kept the spreadsheet I used from the past year. I had everyone report in who didn’t get their promised card last year. Unfortunately, if you were one of those people who didn’t send one when they said they would, I cannot allow you to participate this year.
  • YOU MUST ALSO SEND A CARD.NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • IS
  • THIS
  • CLEAR?
  • YOU MUST ALSO SEND A CARD.NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • YOUR ASK BOX MUST BE OPEN. I had a lot of problems contacting people last year on the whereabouts of cards, address confusion, etc. If I cannot contact you, I cannot include you in the exchange, I apologise.
  • If you are unable to send a card to a country outside of your own, please tell me! I know postage can get expensive, but please let me know so I don’t, for example, assign you a country in Asia when you live in South America.
  • You can send a card to any country in the world, as long as there’s someone available to receive from there. You aren’t boxed in to your own country! Let me know when you submit your address where you’d prefer to send a card. Whilst I can’t guarantee you’ll get that country, I’ll do my best!

IMPORTANT: If you receive a message from me, it will be shown from ‘anonymous’ because this is my secondary blog.

PRIVACY POLICY:
ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IS 100% CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE. I WILL NEVER SHARE YOUR INFORMATION TO ANYONE BUT THE SENDER OF THE CARD AND I WILL MAKE SURE BEFOREHAND THAT THE SENDER WILL COMPLY WITH THE SAME CONFIDENTIALITY.

I take privacy very, very seriously, and I myself am very paranoid about giving my personal information out, so I promise to treat your information in the same careful manner as I would treat mine.

DEADLINE:
5 December, 2015. (Subject to change.)
