And with this final masterlist, we must say goodbye.

Though we'll keep the account active for as long as we can, rarepair_shorts on dreamwidth and livejournal is coming to a close.

We will no longer be posting any more challenges. But for the years the community has been active, you can still go back and read old posts.

Thank you for everything.

Hello everyone!

It’s that time of year again and we’re hope that you are excited for another round of the Harry Potter

rarepair_shorts Winter Exchange fest.

We will try our hardest to make sure we pair you with someone who can do your preferred method, but it may not be possible for everyone to get their first choice as it depends on who signs up.

As you know the Winter Exchange is an anonymous exchange for rare pairs in the Harry Potter fandom where the mods match up requests with another participant, who then writes the requested fic/art. All participants receive a fic or art based on their request/prompt. The authors/artists are anonymous until all the entries have been posted.

This year's timeline and basic rules:

29th October 2022: Sign-ups open
20th Novemberber 2022: Sign-ups close 
25th November 2022: Assignments sent out
20th December 2022: Assignments due
24th December 2022: Posting begins

 

PLEASE USE THIS POST TO SIGNUP!!!

As per the comm rules, only rare pairs are allowed (please see this post for excluded pairings). Minimum word count is 500, maximum 2500 words for fics. Art must be traditional style and it must show that it's more than a simple drawble. For this exchange fest, we will not be accepting photo-manips.

NC-17 material is allowed, but please remember that there should be some plot rather than just smut.

Extensions will still be granted but on a case by case basis only. Extensions will last no longer than two weeks after the deadline before you assignment is given to a pinch hitter.

People who signed up last year but dropped out without telling us are not eligible to participate this year.

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. Be sure to read everything!
