Soooo... Clint/Natasha secret santa fic exchange anyone?

Hello dear bar, here's a question/suggestion, which I'm posting with [livejournal.com profile] workerbee73's blessing. Would you guys like to participate in secret santa - type fic exchange?

Um, I should probably explain a little. I used to run this type of thing in another fandom, and it was tons of fun. Basically, everyone who's willing to participate in the fic exchange signs up and fills out a request form of sorts (it can start with "Dear Santa!"), basically what kind of story you'd like to receive/what kind of story you're willing to write in return. After taking all the requests, they should be matched to writers; the fics written until a certain deadline and then anonymously posted as gifts. After all fics are posted, there's a big reveal :) That's basically how it should work.

So. How many among us are interested? I'm having problems with LJ, and for some reason I can't create a poll, so just raise your hands and I'll do the counting (if you're interested in participation, willing to beta read, willing to help out in organization part if we do this, etc.)

Anyway, if there's interest, I'm totally willing to organize this. Help is always very welcome, of course, also suggestions, ideas .... My experiences with these fic exchanges are good, it's a fun thing to do - so, what do you guys say?

Sounds fun.

As previously mentioned, I'll be happy to help, you organize. :-D

Does it have to be just fics? What if someone would like icons as a gift?

*lol* Only yesterday I asked workerbee73 if something like this was already planned.

That said, I'm looking forward to participate. And even though I myself will definitely be writing fic I was wondering if maybe it's better to not only include fic but also graphics as well. Maybe some people would like to participate but don't write fanfictions. (Dexcat79 was faster than me.)

Oh and I would also be willing to help you with the organization. :)

oooh I definitely want to be a part of this!!!

I ran a sort of gift exchange type thing on another site once, it was a forum so we did icons and other graphics, but it's the same basic idea, so I have some experience if you want help. Although I won't be back home until mid-December, so my time is limited until then.

I suck at deadlines but go ahead and put me down. :)

In another fandom you could preference what kind of fanwork you wanted by ranking them in order (ie, fic, art, vids, icons) and the mods did their best to match it up. So that might be a way to accomodate all different kinds of things.

This sounds like fun.

I think I'm interested... what kind of word count would we be looking at?

I'd be in to write fic for this!

[identity profile] delle.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be in. The earlier the assignments can go out the better for me as I'm always drowning in Nutcracker stuff by mid-December (which is why I had to very reluctantly remove myself from Yuletide a few years back)

[identity profile] chrisfaithalin.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I would definitely be up to participating.

[identity profile] andacus.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm terrified of writing these two, but maybe I should just dive in. I'll play.

[identity profile] sugar-fey.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, sign me up!

[identity profile] ittykat.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I would be interested!

[identity profile] hermionerd.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
So on board with this.

[identity profile] jacedesbff.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
*raises hand* I'm in!

I'm on board :D I think it's a great idea and thanking you very muchly for volunteering to organise it <3 I don't know if Bee mentioned or not after our mod conflab on this, but I'm happy to help with organising, mod liasing, tagging, whatever.

I am all for this! :) I probably don't have the time to do anything besides write, though.

[identity profile] oresteia.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
My fic exchange experiences typically go pretty bad but I would so sign up anyway.

Also, I run one every year so if you have any questions, I can help that way. You probably have enough assistance as it is.

[identity profile] queenriley.livejournal.com 2012-09-06 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
I love fic/creative works exchanges! I will happily participate, though all I can do is write fic.

I prefer to have a lot of time though... like... assignments out in early November and fic due at the end of December type time? If that's possible? I write slowly. I don't know what kind of time frame you were looking at... shorter, longer, whatever. Just thought I'd throw it out there. I'm always jealous of people who can churn out super amazing fic in the span of a few days, but it takes me weeks of hard work to hammer out something mediocre.

Luckily that time of year is relatively slow for me so I can probably work with whatever time frame you come up with. I'm mad busy right now, but by mid-October I'm back to smooth sailing.

Seconding this request! I admit that I wrote ridiculous amounts for the promptathon, but I can't count on that again (and my headspace can be...odd, let's put it.)

So, seconding for sign-ups and plenty of time given.
