@purimgifts is an annual all-fandoms-welcome exchange for fanfic and/or podfic (either or both, participant’s choice!) with a side-helping of art, focusing on characters who’re at least one of: women, Jewish or persecuted by evil viziers.
This choice of focus is because @purimgifts celebrates the Jewish Holiday of Purim, which commemorates one smart orphan-girl saving her people from genocide (plotted by the king’s vizier) and becoming a queen while she’s at it. You totes don’t have to be Jewish to participate, in case that wasn’t obvious.
ALL fandoms eligible! We won’t reject a fandom unless it’s, like, a romance between a Nazi officer and a Jewish inmate, or something else of that sort and scale. (We can’t promise a match on Very Rare fandoms.)
Fanfic/Podfic/either - you choose! @purimgifts allows for requesting or offering podfic, fanfic or either. Your request and your offer don’t have to match!
2022 schedule:
SIGNUPS Sun-Sun, 02-09 January
WORKS DUE Wed 09 March, 20:00 Israel Standard Time

animatedamerican said: I’m having some confusion about the Nominations page. Should it already have three fandoms autofilled for me? Where are those coming from? (Previous years?)
Yes! We don’t make a new tagset each year but rather keep using the same one. If you ran out of nom slots, just tell us mods (in whichever way is comfortable for you) which tags you want us to add, and we’ll do it for you!

Please, please, please, for the sake of your matches, go edit your signup so that all the daughter tags are explicitly added. This is because matching uses exact tags, and that means that “Jewish Religion & Lore” won’t be matched with “תנ”ך | Tanakh”, and so on.

Okay, the sign-up process this year isn’t going as we originally described. Due to a minor tweak on how Challenges work on Ao3 sprinkled with human error, and a healthy amount of amazing people who already signed up, we can’t fix this. The process is slightly different. You can still sign up! Below is a quick guide on navigating around the issue.
In the Request section, there are no errors but the Archive swapped a few things around. Specifically, it now says “Additional Tags” without the ticky boxes. So, in the Request additional tags, you should insert at least one of Fanfic and Podfic. You can insert both, but you can’t insert none.
In the Offer section,you should ignore the Character and Relationship fields. Helpfully, these are in plain text, marking them as unmatchable fields. This means that if you mistakenly put anything in those fields, no worries! It won’t mess up your matching.
Our policy hasn’t changed and we don’t match based on Character or Relationship. We apologize for this mixup!

All gifts are now revealed, and authors de-anonimized.
On behalf of the entire mod-team, I want to thank all of you for helping to make Purimgifts, and I hope you had a wonderful time!
Here. Go have fun with those treats :)
We have a posting guide and an embedding guide. Additionally, I (Hagar) am here for any other exchange-related question you may have. (Avery will be back soon, but for now I’m holding down the fort.)
If you could use an extension, now’s a good time to let us know at [email protected].
If you’re unsure whether you can finish your assignment even with an extension, partial and full default are available and non-penalized. If you want to arrange for a partial default, please email us.
If you’re plain unsure, email us. We’d honestly much rather help you, whether by supporting you to participate as best you’re able or through a default.

Some of you have already posted; that’s fantastic. Some of you are probably hard at work; that’s also great. And if you’re not sure how you’re doing, you have options:
- Extension. If you’re sure you can complete your assignment, you just need a little more time, this option is for you. To request an extension, email us at [email protected].
- Thebackup protocol. This option is for people who’re not sure whether they can complete their assignment, but who really really want to. A backup is a pinch hitter assigned ahead of time. If you complete your assignment, that’s great! And there’s a chance of treats. If you don’t complete your assignment, you can call it off at the last minute - while your pinch hitter had had a much longer time to prepare. To request a backup, email us at [email protected].
- Partial default. This option is for people who already know they can’t complete their assignment, but who want to post what they can complete. To request a partial default, email us at [email protected].
- Full default. If you’re absolutely sure you can’t complete your assignment, this option is for you. You can activate it either by emailing us, or by hitting the “Default” button at the AO3. Either way, you won’t be penalized for it; life happens, and we get that.
And if you’re not sure which of those options is right for you, please email us at [email protected]! Our priority is helping you.
Hi guys!
It is now 1 week (and just over 3hr) to the Purimgifts deadline.

Hi guys!
This is a quick FYI to let you know that works posted to the Purimgifts 2021 collection may intermittently appear Unrevealed (Mystery Works), Anonymous or both. This is because @ernasd‘s husband is building us a thingy that will take down the time it takes to reveal works by literally hours (the process is manual). He needs some data to practice on and the data needs to be structured as the 2022 data is (we touch things up pretty often to make the process more streamlined, and mistakes less likely).
So, no worries if works are suddenly Mysteries or Anonymous! We know that’s happening, and it’s all good.
(p.s., while I’m making this post anyway: deadline’s in two weeks! Now’s a good time to be thinking about whether you’re all good, or could use an extension or a backup. If you’re unsure or if you think you could use some support, please email us at [email protected]. Thank you!)
Hi, everyone!
Today is the mid-point for the creative period of Purimgifts 2022. All works are due on March 9th at 20:00 Israel Standard Time, which is in one month. (Minus just shy of 3 hours, but who’s counting?)
Some of you have already posted; that’s fantastic. Some of you are probably hard at work; that’s also great. And if you’re not sure how you’re doing, you have options:
- Extension. If you’re sure you can complete your assignment, you just need a little more time, this option is for you. To request an extension, email us at [email protected].

And if you’re not sure which of those options is right for you, please email us at [email protected]! We’d much rather help you.
The AO3 were able to resolve both bugs, and now formal assignments had been sent! If for whatever reason you didn’t receive your assignments, please check your spam and bin folders and, if it’s still not there, send us an email to [email protected]. Please do not send asks.
Happy creating, everyone!
If so, please confirm your having received your assignment ASAP! This is going to make your mods feel a lotbetter.
Thank you!
This is a manual process, so please be patient with us! Also, please reply to the assignment email to confirm it.
All right, Purimgifts, we’re taking off! Have fun!
The Archive’s algorithm and our signup pool are still not quite talking to each other, BUT my SO was able to write a bit of code that made us basically an annotated database of potential matches, and I hand-matched based on that.
Unsurprisingly, I’m exhausted right now. So we’re going to wait for Mod Avery to come on-shift and double-check my work, and then assignments will go out.
IMPORTANT: matches will go out in email from the mod account. As soon as we figure out what’s going on the Archive front, we’ll also send assignments through there, so we can all check that tickybox when it’s time.
Support are working on resolving the bug. We the mods are also exploring an alternative solution.
The matching algorithm is taking atypically long to run. We contacted support about this, and are hoping that this will be resolved soon.
That depends, canyou? If the signup page (here) is still available, then you can! The mod must’ve forgotten it on for the night.
(Please remember that matchless signups will be deleted before matching.)
