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?

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

I was just thinking about you and anticipating this question? Um, IDK? Why not? Icons (or graphic?) in return for fic, icons for icons - I've never done it that way, but I don't see why not. I think it can be arranged.

I suppose we could have like two parts. If they want fic or icons or a banner... whatever the case may be. *shrug*

Yes, why not? Fic part and graphic part? Anything goes as long as it can be organized in some way. The more the merrier! :D

I was meaning to ask you, would you be willing to make generic banner for fics? You know, one image with "FIC TITLE for: recipient"? (and anyone else who would like to do this, it would be AWESOME).

I'm sure I could do that, no problem! :)

Woot woot! So far it looks like people are interested! So I'll put up a post for graphics at some point. We'll need santa - icons! You know, the silly ones! :D

*headdesk* I don't think I've ever made santa icons... I wonder if inkvoices would be willing to help. lol
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on September 5th, 2012 05:19 pm (UTC)
hehe, no problems :D It's just an idea :)
[identity profile] daxcat79.livejournal.com on September 5th, 2012 05:21 pm (UTC)
Well, let's see how many people would be interested in making graphics and we'll ask what they can do. *shrug*

*spots name, grins, and raises hand* Graphics, titles, icons, banners, yep, can do :D Hey, [livejournal.com profile] daxcat79, i'm sure we can at least cook up some 'all I want for Christmas(/Winter Holiday/holiday of choice) is...' icons at the least ;D
[identity profile] daxcat79.livejournal.com on September 5th, 2012 11:46 pm (UTC)
I knew you'd be in! :D

You do that part and I'll try to put little santa hats on our favorite couple! *snicker*

I would love for graphics to be a part of the exchange because that's something I know I can contribute. And I have seen exchanges that include icons, and they've worked pretty much the same as fics, sign up-wise (people specify that they'd like to recieve icons and they are matched up with someone who signs up to make icons, etc.)

If you still are looking for people willing to make banners and things, I'd be willing. :D
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on September 6th, 2012 04:16 am (UTC)
That would be awesome! I think we'll just include all options so more people can play :)

Yay!! Yes, banners, please! This is going to be pretty and awesome and FUN.

I suppose there's always the Christmas stocking type idea - people say what they'd like as a fic, icons, or art, based on their own fics or generic or whatever, and the order in which they'd prefer them, match up as best can be done, but then the recipient might get a drabble and a bundle of icons or a playlist and a banner or whatever best the filler can do, a mix of things...just a mix of love and winter wishes :) I dunno, I've never run something like this, just played *shrugs*
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on September 6th, 2012 04:17 am (UTC)
Ooooo THIS! This is awesome. So, basically someone can sign up and say "I'm okay with a stocking - type of gift" :D (I know I would just LOVE that)
