ATTF: Exchanges and Other Fandom Fun  
Happy Friday All! Since there is now only 13 and a half hours left to sign up to Secret Santa 2017 (!!!) this week's All The Things Friday is a chat about fandom gift exchanges (and any other fandom fun related to that).

New to gift exchanges, or an old-hand but have something you've always wondered? Ask the comm!
Secret Santa specific questions? Very welcome!
What exchanges have you taken part in/are you taking part in this year?
What's your favourite thing about fandom gift exchanges? Favourite type of exchange?
Best advice for signing up and taking part in exchanges? Links to helpful posts?
How to find beta readers, meeting exchange deadlines, pinch hitting... tell us your tales!
Rec us things from exchanges, including self recs of things you've created for them!

It's a weekend to chat about exchanges and help each other out with creative tips and cheerleading :)

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Aww, you *hugs*. Without Seventh Crow I wouldn't have ever tried making a fanvid. After watching James Bond with your stories in mind I knew what I wanted to pull in and mash up, so even when it got hard I knew what it SHOULD look like. And i'm pleased I managee it - although there's tweaks i wish i could do better - but i'm not sure i'd do a vid again. I needed the two years!

I really enjoy the back and forth you get with it; the enthusiasm and ideas feeding on each other thing. (The Bowling Green Massacre was the first jointly written fic I've done too - I'd only done round robin style before. I was really nervy but it was so much fun!)
