Hello all! I know we all enjoyed the Secret Santa Exchange, so as a part of our Anniversary celebrations for the CR Boards next month, we have decided to do an Anniversary Gift Exchange. Those who have participated in the SS Exchange either here or at the ADMM Boards, will be familiar with the set-up, but we have changed a few things so take a moment to review the rules and sign up! You won't be disappointed!
Post before May 25th - or you will not be included.
Exchange your gift before June 30th.
As it is their anniversary, of sorts, all fics should include Filius and Pomona.If you want to join the Exchange, fill out this tiny questionnaire, so you can help out the person who is giving you something special: NAME YOU WANT ON YOUR GIFT: YOUR FAVORITE HP CHARACTER: FAVORITE NON-HP BOOK: FAVORITE NON-HP SHIP: FAVORITE FOOD: FAVORITE PLANT/FLOWER: FAVORITE SPELL** (and its meaning): FAVORITE QUOTE (rated PG please): FAVORITE MOVIE: FAVORITE HP MOVIE: TWO OF YOUR OWN FANFICTION STORIES AND THEIR LINKS: Any tidbit you want to add as a wish: **If you are having trouble thinking of a spell, feel free to use the Lexicon... www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells.htmlWhat is the Exchange?It is a way for us all to celebrate together, each getting our own present! You give a present to somebody else who has put their name on the list. You will receive a Personal Message that has the name of the person you'll be creating for. What do i create as a gift?That is entirely up to you. If you are an artist, make a picture of their favorite couple. If you are a writer, write something special: a one-shot, a drabble, a poem, a fanfic, or even a lemon. If you want to offer your services as a beta: do that. As long as it is something you think that will make them happy: go ahead! Don't feel that you need to include everything from their list, but do try to use something from it for your inspiration! How do i post my gift?Post your gift before the 30th in the special thread that is made for this purpose, so your sitemember can pick it up there. When will i receive a name?All names must be entered before May 25th. You will get a PM May 26th or 27th. If you have any questions, please send me a message and do not use this thread for them, please! |
