Clexmas 2017 Holiday Exchange!
We are back for another year of wonderful Clexmas Holiday Gifts. :)
A wee bit early this time too, and we missed Halloween - sorry, life's been in the way of fandom this year. But can't miss the exchange!
Winter returns, and it’s time again to stoke the Clex fires with the sheer hotness of our ship. Sweet and early pre-slash, domestic and homey, far flung AUs, late season fix-it fics-- Let our fannish verve keep us toasty warm. This is for the boys, after all!
By the nature of the challenge, the gifts will be wide-ranging and exciting and you won't know what you get until you get it! You might get fic, you might get a vid; it might be a graphic. Open your present during the Holidays and see what you have. :)
Schedule
October 23 - November 8: Sign-ups! Reply to this post with the sign-up form below.
November 10: Assignments Sent Out (let us know if you have any questions)
SIGN UPS ARE EARLY THIS YEAR! Sorry about that - I'm going to be not available during the timeframe we normally do sign-ups, and I want to make sure this gets out and done before that. At least you'll have an extra long time to do the gifts? :)
December 20 - January 16: Email Completed Gifts to clexmas@gmail.com (per picked dates)
December 24 - January 20: Gifts will be posted on the Clexmas Site (anonymously!)
January 21: Reveal of Gifts! {request for pitch-hitters if needed}
Because of the occasional posting issues with many of them coming in at the last minute, we're going to go for due dates again (it seemed to work okay last year). Nothing make or break, and there will be flexibility in the schedule, but if you could sign up for a three-day range in which you'll be turning your gift in, it'll help us in the posting. No worries if you can't get it exactly then, just let us know.
Posting Information
- All gifts will be posted anonymously to the Clexmas site by the moderators during posting season. After the reveal, all gift posts will be edited so that the gifter information is included in the posts.
- Email all gifts as attachments to clexmas@gmail.com They can be sent in whatever format you generally work in. Generally, Word docs for fics, .jpg for art, .avi for vids... etc. If we have a problem opening or working with something, we'll let you know. :)
- Please send the following information with your gift:
Title, Rating, Warnings, Summary, Gifter Notes
- If you have a beta you'd like to thank in gifter notes, that's part of the information we'll hold until the revel, because it will give hints. ^^;
- Questions? Email us at clexmas@gmail.com or send us a PM at clexmasmystery
Rules
1. This is a Clexmas Gift Exchange. All stories will feature Clark and Lex as the main pairing of the gift, celebrating the Clex in our lives. (Secondary pairings are allowed only with permission of the giftee.) (Since this is the Holidays, please also keep all gifts happy unless specifically requested by the giftee - no surprise dark Clex.)
- Clex is the focus, with the primary background being Smallville, but DC Universe Clex is perfectly fine too, and a blending of the worlds is something a lot of us do. If you want/write DCU, please specify as most folks use Smallville.
2. No reusing old (already posted) material, please. New gifts for the giftees! :)
3. Complete stories only. Please do not post works-in-progress, or a "part one" of a story. (If you're running late on the time, that's one thing, and we can work something out, but please try not to make it a WIP if you can possibly help it.)
4. ~700 word minimum for fics, art and vids are flexible depending on requests and mediums.
5. In the interest of allowing participants to give what they can, please do not ask for specific media for your gift. Instead, fill out the 'would like to see' portion of the sign-up as completely as possible and allow us to match you up to someone who might be able to fulfill that desire. (Unless you have a problem such as "no sound on the computer" which would limit your enjoyment of the gift.)
6. Try to fulfill at least one of the requests for your giftee. If you can fulfill more, then great, but not required. ^^
7. All participants should complete their assignments. Let us know if you are going to have trouble with the assignment, and we will try to do something about it.
8. Please feed the participants: Comment if you can!
If anybody has questions about coming up with prompts or ideas or wants to talk it out, please email us ( clexmas@gmail.com ) and we'll be happy to bounce ideas back and forth to help you with your gifting. :)
