The Lord of the Rings Secret Santa 2021 prompt meme signups are OPEN!
So, it's that time of the year again: time to sign up for the Lord of the Rings Secret Santa exchange! Slash, femslash, het and gen, fic and fanart; you can request it all, so why not join in?
Lord of the Rings Secret Santa has been a traditional exchange since its inception, but since we are living in rather challenging times, we continue to adapt and refine the exchange to best serve all participants. This year, the exchange is in the form of a prompt meme.
If you are new to the format, AO3 has a helpful FAQ here.
This year's timeline (2021):
- Prompt Posting: November 1st to 30th.
- Claiming: December 1st to 22nd.
- Collection Open for Posting: December 1st to 31st
- All Fills Due: December 31st.
You will be able to post up to 3 prompts, and we will do our best to make sure that at least one of your prompts is filled.
Please note that this is an FPF challenge. (i.e. Fictional, not real people fiction/RPF.) We're always open to all the Peoples and Ages of Middle-earth, which means that characters from The Silmarillion and The Hobbit are welcome too!
The Rules (2021): 1. You will be able to post up to 3 prompts between November 1st and 30th, and we will do our best to make sure at least one of your prompts is filled.
2. Your fill is due December 31st 11:59 pm Pacific Time (you can check what that is in your time zone here). Please post it to AO3 (and nowhere else, until January 3rd).
3. As a matter of fairness, please make your story more than 750 words (1000 is better).
4. Once claiming has opened, please only claim a prompt if you plan on actually fulfilling your end of the bargain, and please only claim one prompt at a time. After you have completed your fill, you may claim a new one.
5. Signing up: the sign up form can be found here (or here if the main link gives you an error message). If you need help with signing up, please don't hesitate to contact the mods at lotrsesa[AT]gmail.com.
Claiming a prompt: use the "Claim" button next to the prompt you want to claim. (You can find open prompts under "Prompts" in the sidebar.) Several people can claim the same prompt. You can also claim a prompt without having submitted any of your own.
6. It's a good idea to join the LotR_SeSa LiveJournal community or the Dreamwidth community so you can keep track of any admin posts. You can also follow us on Tumblr at Lotr-SeSa.
Have fun -- and spread the word!
