rarepairs_modHalloween has come and gone and the days are getting colder....which means it's that time of year again! Welcome to our annual ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
rarepair_shorts Winter Exchange!
The Winter Exchange is an anonymous exchange.
Participants submit a request, with prompt ideas such as characters, situations, and themes. The mods match these requests with another participant, who then writes the requested fic. All participants receive a fic based on their request/prompt. The authors are anonymous until all the stories have been posted.
This year's timeline and basic rules:
4 November 2013: Sign-ups open
16 November 2013: Sign-ups close
18 November 2013: Assignments are sent out.
16 December 2013: Assignments are due.
23 December 2013: Posting begins.
As per the comm rules, only rare pairs (please see this post for excluded pairings) and fics with a rating no higher than R are allowed. Minimum word count is 500, maximum 2500 words.
To give you some idea of how the exchange works and what fantastic creations our participants produced, check out the masterlists of the previous exchanges: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Can you believe this is our seventh year?? Let's make it an awesome one!
Interested? Ready to sign up? Check out the information below the cut.
Please read through this post carefully before asking questions. There is a lot of information to sift through, because everything you need to know is in this post. There has been a change or two to the previous rules of this fest, so please be sure to read everything!
