BSC December Fandom Fest - Sign Up Post

[ozqueen]

So enough people expressed interest I think we can give this a shot :) It's going to be super low key and entirely voluntary, but if you do sign up please try to create at least one thing for someone else ♥ We'll make sure everyone gets a gift before I reveal the collection, which you can find HERE. You can start posting to it immediately :)

I'm not sure how to tackle things that aren't appropriate for AO3 -- if anyone has thoughts on that please let me know! Happy to do screening of comments here with only the sign-ups unscreened if that will work (I have no idea how DW notifications work tbh), or you can just go ahead and post gifts directly to a sign up comment if you want to, it doesn't have to be anon/held until the AO3 collection reveal!

I'm not sure of the reveals date yet but I'm thinking the weekend of the 4th/5th of January. I'll post a 48 hour and a 24 hour warning before I reveal anything. If I can be sure of my plans when the weekend is close enough, I'll post a countdown everyone can access/watch.

Because it's low key the only real rule I'm going to set in place is to respect anyone's "do not want" list -- just exercise basic courtesy and don't give someone something they've specifically said they don't want.

You don't have to do anything on this post other than say you want to join in, and give us your AO3 name, but if you want to include other details feel free! I've got a template below but if that feels too much pressure feel free to take it or leave it, or adjust it as you like.

Please ask questions/speak up if I've missed something! ♥

I want to join in! But can I just write instead of receive? :)

[scarletcorvid]

Oh, my AO3 name is ScarletCorvid :)

[mkrobinson]

I don't think just writing would be a problem (I mean unless you're me and the blank page is mocking you).
