The Myrrh Tree's Holiday Gift Fic exchange will take place here each winter.

I was reading through some other forums and noticed that a lot of places do a Secret Santa gift fic exchange. I thought it would be a cool idea to try here.

Anyone else up for it? Fics would have to be finished by the 25th. We could make it like fics have to be at least 500 words but don't have to be much longer, if it helps.

Current participants:

SasukeBlade

NotMeagain

The Trinity Tree

Angelic Sword

Seoul Gamer

It's an awesome idea, but a reasonably short word count would probably be sensible. After all, writers here need time to actually think of a good idea for a story first.

That's an idea that would work all year round, actually. Might get a few more stories in circulation.

That sounds neat. I've never done a fic exchange, though yeah, short fics would be more convenient, I think.

Sounds cool! How would we decided who's secret santa was who's though? Would you throw all our names in a hat and decide, then message us?

Yeah, probably something like that. So if you're willing to do it, sound off and I'll add you to a list in the first post. We won't do it by pairs. By this I mean that your recipient will not be the same person as your giver.

And as for knowing what to give. Hmm. How should we do that? Have everyone make a wish list, or have them just research the persons' likes via forum posts and profile?

Kay, sounds fun. :)

And, hmm... maybe the wish list idea, but I'm not sure. Maybe a spin-off type one shot of their caravan or character? But that could also be fulfilled by the wish-list idea, if someone wants them to write about their caravan/character.

Yeah but I don't want to exclude the folks like Seoul, who participates regularly but doesn't exactly have a caravan to call his own yet. So maybe a wishlist would be the best idea.

In another comm I've seen they did a short fill-out wishlist that included things like what elements, themes, characters or ratings they wanted in their gift (and which ones they preferred not to read about)

That sounds good, NotMeagain. How about this. If you want to participate, make a post and fill out this short little list.

Giftees have been PMed! I don't know the particulars, I wrote out the basic PM and my friend drew names and filled in the blanks while I was out of the room.

Good luck!
