SUPER LATE, SUPER SECRET SANTA
Hello, livejournal! I realise I may be shouting into the void here, but since I'm not willing to let this fandom go without any kind of festive cheer, I've decided to organise a Secret Santa. Recognising the Way of Fandom has changed somewhat, the main bulk of the Secret Santa is likely to take place over at tumblr, but! I hope there'll be a few people here willing to take part.
The tumblr post for the Secret Santa is here. If you're on Tumblr, you're welcome to participate that way, but fear not. I'll be running it here as well, for those who don't like/haven't got a Tumblr.
So, without further ado:
HOW IT WORKS:
- You can, as always, submit up to three prompts, and your gifter will choose one to work from.
- There’s a short questionnaire at the end of this post. Fill it in and post it as a comment (they will be screened) The deadline for receipt is Monday 10th December.
- Once all entries are collected, you’ll be matched with a giftee. It’s then down to you to fill their prompt in whichever way you see fit - fic, art, vids, fanmixes, it’s all good. You should be matched by Wednesday 12th December. You may well be matched with a Tumblr user - fear not, I'll make sure they get their gift.
- The deadline for gifts is Saturday 29th December. You can post your gift on tumblr, here on the mgs_fanworks Livejournal or you can send them to me and I’ll post them. I’ll also be making a masterpost of all the gifts both here and on tumblr.
THE RULES:
- All Metal Gear games can be requested, and all characters are fair game. Feel free to request AU’s, but please, no crossovers. They’re complicated, and they make Sunny cry.
- Your request can be a general one (“Snotacon fanart please!”) or specific (“Kaz in a pink fishnet leotard dancing with maracas on a mountainside in Kazakhstan!”) Please be as clear as possible about what you want and don’t want.
- Due to the time constraints, I understand super long fic might not be possible. However, a minimum of 650 words is expected - this is a gift, after all! There’s no upper word limit. Go nuts. For art, a piece of similar commitment, time-wise, is the minimum expected - a couple of hours’ work. Drabble collections and comics are welcome.
- Please submit only ONE entry form. If you need to make changes, message me. The deadline for entry forms is Monday 10th December.
- Please, please, only enter if you’re certain you can commit to producing a gift. It’s just not fair when people work hard on a gift only to be left out.
- Unless requested, try to make your gifts un-angsty. It’s Christmas. Let’s spread a little joy.
