Sign-ups are now closed.
Woo-oo, here we go!
To sign up,
First, make sure you've read the rules carefully. This exchange is slightly different from the others, and some of the rules are different, and you will be tested on them in the sign up form, LOL!
In particular, please note the special guideline:
- Since participants are paired according to their kinks and squicks (that is, with like-minded people), some participants have found themselves being paired with the same partner more than once! To help me avoid this happening, please, please be as flexible as you can when you are completing your sign-up form -- if you prefer dark fics/art, perhaps you can also list some 'lighter' kinks you enjoy; if you prefer less dark fics/art, perhaps you can list some 'darker' kinks you are comfortable with; when you list what you are willing to write, perhaps you can consider moving a little outside your comfort zone? I will always, of course, respect your squicks. Thank you!
Next, paste the template below into a comment to this entry, and fill it in.

Your Fic Highest rating you are willing to write: Favourite things to write: Things you can’t write: Anything else I might need to know: Notes
- Answer the first two questions as if you're casting a vote -- type an X inside the brackets!
- A prompt can be virtually anything -- a single word, song lyrics, a mood, a theme, a brief scenario (such as 'Draco joins the Order and becomes a spy' or 'Draco and Hermione have a secret affair'), or whatever you like, but it's best to give your duet partner a variety of different types of prompt. He or she MUST incorporate at least ONE of your three prompts into your gift.
- Remember that the assignments will be anonymous. Comments here will be screened, so nobody can peek at the other sign up forms, and I ask you neither to post nor to tell anyone the details of your request.
- This exchange depends upon PARTNERSHIP. That means two things:
- If you sign up, you are committing yourself to writing a story for your partner.
- If you sign up, you are committing yourself to reviewing the story your partner writes for you.
Please do not sign up if you have the slightest doubt that you will be able to honour these committments.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask by PMing me or by commenting on this post.

Timetable
Sign ups will last until June 11 or until we’ve reached 20 participants.
I will disable comments once we reach 20 sign ups but, because I'm in the UK and many of our members are in different time zones, it's possible that a few extra people will sign up. In that case, I will process the sign ups on a strictly first come-first served basis, and ask any additional applicants if they would like to join the pinch-hitter list.
Assignments will be sent out on June 19.
Gifts will be due on October 6.
Gifts will be posted in pairs (duets) from October 24 onwards :-)
...
YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR BOTH THE FIC EXCHANGE AND THE ART EXCHANGE.
And if you're relatively new to the comm/fandom, please don't be shy. A good mix of new participants and regulars is exactly what we're looking for.
