Secret Santa Reveals

Hi All

As we've mentioned on the twitter page for the Fic Swap, some of the pairing reveals here will be slightly different from what we originally arranged due to some people not being able to take part in Secret Santa as originally planned. Despite this, we re-paired some of you as best we could and hopefully you won't mind that you perhaps did not get a story that was originally intended for you or that what you wrote for someone else went to a different participant.

Anyway, thank you all for taking part. We really appreciated all your support with this and the turnout for this year's Secret Santa was amazing.

A special shoutout goes to SheWolf85, who not only has participated both years, but also got her story in first both times, so she really does deserve a round of applause.

Both myself and idealskeptic hope that you all enjoyed the stories you received this Christmas and if you could send a brief thank you to your Santa when you find out who they are, I'm sure they would appreciate it.

Thank you again to you all for taking part. We hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year with your families and loved ones.

Happy Holidays
evieeden and idealskeptic

Secret Santa 2012 Launch

It's that special time of the year again: the Secret Santa Fic Swap is back!!!

This year is going to be even better than last year's swap. Firstly, because Santa's got his act together this year and given you more time for sign ups, more time for oneshot writing and yet the same great fic swap. And secondly, because this year Santa and evieeden have been joined by the gorgeous idealskeptic!

Once again we urge you all to get involved and gift and receive the best possible Christmas present ever: your very own customised fanfic. So, find out what's involved below, sign up using our form page and get cracking on those oneshot ideas knowing that you'll get a story back too.


How it works: To get involved all you have to do is fill out our sign up form which will commit you to writing a Secret Santa fic for someone else in the fandom. In return, you'll get a gift fic yourself from your very own Secret Santa. Thus you will both give and receive. Once the sign ups are over, you will receive an email from us with the details of the person you will be writing your story for, including a list of some of their likes and dislikes. When you sign up yourself, we'll ask you if there is anything you're not keen on writing and hopefully you'll then be matched up with someone who meets your criteria. (It's like internet dating, but with fic.) Reveals as to who wrote what for whom will be revealed after Christmas.

If anyone's worried about the time available, especially given how hectic life also gets in the run-up to Christmas, we're going to impose a word limit on the exchange stories of 1000-5000 words. This means that no-one will slave over a 20k epic only to receive a 100-word drabble in return.

Dates to remember:
Sign ups will take place for four weeks from today until Sunday 28th October.
You will then receive an email with your receivee's details by Sunday 4th November.
You will then have six weeks to write your fic and email it into us to be sent off by Saturday 15th December.

Once Christmas is over you'll then be able to post your stories to your own accounts, blogs etc.

We really really really hope that you all get involved, it's all supposed to be fun, and if you have any questions or comments to be made, you can email us at secretsantaficswap@gmail.com or find us on twitter @ssficswap

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all who got involved with the Secret Santa fic swap. Now that a suitable amount of time has passed (and I'm back from holiday) I thought I would do the reveals to let everyone know who wrote for them.
Be sure to send them a big thank you.

The Launch of the Secret Santa Fic Exchange

As it's Christmas soon, we thought it would be nice to have a Secret Santa for the fandom. Obviously this is very difficult as we all live in different countries/time zones etc. and to send actual gifts to far off places would cost a lot of money, so instead we've decided to hold a Secret Santa exchange for fanfic and we'd love for you all to get involved.

How it works: To get involved all you have to do is fill out our sign up form which will commit you to writing a Secret Santa fic for someone else in the fandom. In return, you'll get a gift fic yourself from your very own Secret Santa. Thus you will both give and receive. Once the sign ups are over, you will receive an email from us with the details of the person you will be writing your story for, including a list of some of their likes and dislikes. When you sign up yourself, we'll ask you if there is anything you're not keen on writing and hopefully you'll then be matched up with someone who meets your criteria. (It's like internet dating, but with fic.) Reveals as to who wrote what for whom will be revealed after Christmas.

If anyone's worried about the time available, we're going to impose a word limit on the exchange stories of 1000-5000 words. This means that no-one will slave over a 20k epic only to receive a 100-word drabble in return.

Dates to remember:
Sign ups will take place for two weeks from today until Sunday 27th November.
You will then receive an email with your receivee's details on Monday 28th November.
You will then have three weeks to write your fic and email it into us to be sent off by Tuesday 20th December.

Once Christmas is over you'll then be able to post your stories to your own accounts, blogs etc.

We really really really hope that you all get involved, it's all supposed to be fun, and if you have any questions or comments to be made, you can email us at secretsantaficswap@gmail.com
