I'm signing up for yuletide! because I'm insane ~they ask for a (optional) letter to the gifter about what you want in your story, so I put this up as a space holder so I could go ahead and sign up :D

you sign up through a form on ao3. there is a list (a really, really long list) of fandoms to choose from. for requests, that is a fic you want to receive, you pick out a fandom you like and then 1-4 characters from that fandom--and this is important, because whoever is your author will be matched by character, and they could match you on only one. there's also an 'any' character option. once you've done that, you make offers for 4-6 fandoms (you do this by picking the fandom, then characters from the list of nominated characters within that fandom). then you hit enter and because it's ao3 they save the sign in form and they'll randomly match everyone with giftee and send you an email once sign ups are closed.

it's not a direct exchange of fic: you get assigned someone based on what you've offered to write and someone gets assigned to you based on what you have requested.

I think I might want to sign up too, but I don't know, it's so scary! How did you get the guts to do it?

just think about this: if there are any rare fandoms/characters you love, this is an opportunity to both write fic for a guaranteed audience because (s)he actually requested it, and also you get a story written for a favorite rare fandom/characters.

and if that didn't work, drink a couple wine coolers and browse through the nominations. there's bound to be something you love in there.
