It's September, which means it's time to start planning and plotting for the 2009 Kinky Kristmas celebration!

This year's round will be similar to things we've done in the past, but with a few new twists.

The Skinny:

Our members will be making kinky wishes for fics and art that would make their holidays happy. Then, both members AND watchers will get to fulfill those wishes. We're excited to be giving our watchers an opportunity to participate in the comm and thank our members who provide so much entertainment throughout the year. And who knows -- we might even find a talented new member or two!

Additionally, Kinky Kristmas is going double-blind anonymous this year! The wishes will be posted anonymously and the claiming will also take place anonymously. All pieces will be submitted to the mods (dd.mods@gmail.com) for anonymous posting throughout December. Author/artist reveals will take place in early January.

How This is Going to Work:

This Thursday, September 10 we will put up a post and ask members to begin submitting their wishes. This will be done through screened comments to the post. We'll continue collecting wishes for one week.

Saturday, September 19 we will post a numbered list of all the wishes and claiming will begin. Claiming will also be done though screened comments to the post. Each participant may claim one wish to fulfill, and claiming will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Our members will have a 24 hour "head start" to make claims before watchers may begin.

Participants will have all of October and November to create their works. All pieces are due by Monday, November 30. Requirements for fic and art are the same as all other months on the comm. Fic must be a minimum of 1,000 words and art must be a finished piece. Both fic and art must merit at least an R rating. No crossovers permitted. Headers and other submission guidelines will come later.

Both members' and watchers' pieces will be posted anonymously throughout December. At this time the names of the wishers/giftees will be revealed, so everyone will get to find out for whom they've written/drawn. Author/artist reveals will be posted in early January.

Right, that should just about cover it. We look forward to seeing loads of fabulous, kinky fic and art this holiday season!
