JBBS signups for 2010 are now open!
Spreading the word would be appreciated. Soon, I will be posting banners and codes that may help in advertising. The site will also be restructured soon so that older years can be viewed, not just 2009.
Overview
The exchange works like this: using the form to sign-up, you request three different stories that you'd like to receive. You also use this form to tell us who and what you are comfortable writing. You will be sent an assignment, with someone else's three requests. You write one of these and send it in. On December 25, the stories are posted, delivered as a Christmas Present :D. The authors will be kept anonymous until January 1, at which point all of the stories will have the author revealed. Feedback will be done using comments on a post that will also go up on December 25, and be relinked once we know the authors.
If you're confused, please don't be afraid to ask, whether it is on this post or through email. You will be responded to soon. :)

The Rules
- Stories must be 1000 words or longer, and betaed. If you do not have someone to proofread for you, let me know and I'll be able to help.
- Stories must fit the request given to you. If you find that you can't write that story, please respond as soon as you get the assignment. Something will be worked out.
- Stories must be in on time. There is a very limited time in which to get them all up for viewing, and any second counts. If you think you will have trouble turning in on time, please contact about this by December 21. We will find a pinch-hit for you.
- Do not contact the person you are writing for, please. After all, we must honour the spirit of the Secret Santa! If you need any questions answered, contact me and I will contact them for you.
- You can find the Story F.A.Q here.
