Hello to everyone who's signed up to Secret Santa this year! (Also a shout out to the people who have volunteered so far to pinch hit if needed, thank you <3 )

The next step is to make your choices, which we'll use to help match people up.

Below is an anonymised list of what the 21 people (!!!) who have signed up have said that they would like to receive as a gift in this year’s Secret Santa exchange (taken from the Details/Description section of the AO3 sign ups). Each bold number (ie ONE) is an individual request, containing a number of prompts and possibly a 'yes please' and 'no thank you' note. The ask here is to select which are the top four requests that you would like to write for. You do not have to write for everything in a request, but which four contain ideas that you would like to play with?

Please can everyone taking part in this exchange reply (by commenting) to this post by 16:00 GMT Sunday 20th October with:

1) Your AO3 user name /handle
2) Your FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, and FOURTH choices for which requests (from the list of twenty-one below) that you'd ideally like to write for.

For example:
inkvoices
FIRST: THREE
SECOND: SIX
THIRD: NINE
FOURTH: TWELVE

All comments to this post will be screened to keep your replies anonymous. You don't need a DW account to comment. If you have any questions please reply to the questions/comments thread at the top of this post where we will unscreen comments in order to reply.

You should have received an email notification from be_compromised@hotmail.com to your AO3 email address that this post has gone live. If not, please check your spam and enable messages from this email address as we will use it to send updates throughout the exchange. You will also receive email notifications from AO3.

A few things to note:
- You're not guaranteed your choices, but we'll use your choices to match people up as much as possible!
- You have until 16:00 GMT Sunday 20th October to comment with your choices, otherwise we'll do our best to match you up based on the information you've provided on AO3.
- If everyone comments with their choices before the deadline then we’ll try to send assignments out earlier if offline life permits!
- Your assignment will be sent to you via AO3, using the email address you have on AO3. Please check your spam folder and your AO3 account to make sure you receive an assignment.

And onwards to the requests…
