DWSANTA 2011 SIGN-UP POST
This is the Sign-Up post for the dwsanta Secret Santa Fic Exchange 2011.
The exchange focuses on the New Doctor Who series (2005 and onwards). All characters, pairings, ratings and genres are welcome. You can also request characters from Classic Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures or crossovers, but all fics should have some connection to the new series. Please be specific in your sign-up about whether you are uncomfortable writing/receiving certain characters/pairings/ratings/etc.
This exchange will be done anonymously in the style of a secret santa gift exchange (hence the name). Fics will be emailed to me and then posted to the dwsanta community by me from the start of December through until Christmas. Authors will then be revealed after Christmas.
The Rules:
- All fics must be at least 1000 words in length. There is no upper word limit, and you’re welcome to write more than one response fic if you’re so inspired.
- You must write a fic in order to receive a fic.
- Writers must be over 18 years of age, since this exchange may require you to write or receive any rating through to NC-17.
- Sign-ups will remain open until Sunday 9 October 2011. You can edit your sign-up post until then. I will send out assignments by email as soon as possible once all of the sign-ups have been received.
- Your fics will be due by Saturday 19 November 2011, and should be emailed to queen_of_the_castle_77[at]hotmail.com. This will give you over a month to write. If you have trouble meeting this deadline, or have to completely drop out for some reason, please contact me ASAP so we can arrange something or I can find a replacement writer.
- If you answer yes to being a potential pinch-hitter, you’re not committing yourself to anything. You’re just letting me know that you might be able to write a second fic, and that I can contact you if there is a drop-out and I think you might be suited to the assignment. You then can either accept the assignment or turn it down (with no hard feelings).
- You must not tell anyone except your beta/s, if you have them, which fic you've written until the author reveals. Do not post your fic anywhere prior to the reveals. This also means that you can only anonymously reply to comments on the fic up until that date, or otherwise wait until the reveals to properly reply.
- The fics are gifts, and as such should be of a good quality and must comply with the request. I will be reading all fics prior to posting them, and I may ask you to review your fic if it doesn't appear it's been proof-read or if it clearly doesn't answer the request.
Any questions or problems you have about the exchange can be sent directly to me by email at queen_of_the_castle_77[at]hotmail.com , or by replying to the 'Questions' comment below.
All sign-up comments will be screened to keep your requests and contact details super secret. I will, however, unscreen any 'Questions' comments that I think other people might be interested in. There will be a list of participants here to confirm that I've received your sign-up, so please be aware that even though sign-ups will be screened, others will still be able to see that you're taking part.
Please provide as much variety and detail in your sign-up as you can so that I can find you the best matches and so that your gift-giver has some options and enough to inspire them. There is an example sign-up unscreened in the comments below if you need a hand.
