Sign-ups are CLOSED

hp_halloween ~~is open once again! Sign-up between now and October 10!~~ sign-ups are closed for another year.
Sign-ups remain open until a final reply by a mod is made. This usually works in latecomers' favour by a few hours to a day.

Hello, everyone! lore, starduchess, and shadowycat are in the modding mood again this year! Right off the bat, we ask that you please help spread the word that sign-ups are open to your flists and any newsletters or new pockets of HP fandom that you follow. This is a lightning-fast exchange, which means you'll have right at two weeks to write - that's only 100 words a week!

This exchange is for hard-core Halloween drabble lovers out there who are up for an adventure. We take all genres, thus the repeated call for flexibility in the community profile, which you should read. Remember, this is a 200-word drabble exchange that will be posted with reveals on Halloween.

Guidelines for Joining

Sign up by adding a comment to this entry with all questions in the text box below answered.

You're signing up to both request a Halloween-themed drabble and to pledge to write one for someone else. The "Halloween theme" can include the season (fall/harvest), related holidays (example: Samhain, All Saints Day), traditions, etc.

Clearly but concisely state what you would like to receive and what you're willing to give by answering the questions below in your reply. Use the "Any other comments" line for anything you think we didn't cover in the questions. You are only allowed one sign-up comment, as the point of this exchange is to be flexible. If you find your sign-up reply becoming a wall of text, this might not be the exchange for you.

Requests should be both broad and specific, if that makes sense. Giving a choice of pairings or situations is good. For example: SS/HG or DM/HG and a pumpkin = good. Use the full name of a character that isn't considered a "lead" in the HP books. This goes double for Next Gen because of all the repeated names.

One last time, flexibility is key in this exchange. People who choose any as their assignment will be extra loved!

Your reply here should contain the following, copy and pasted into the reply:

Username/name on LJ: Username/name on IJ: Email address you check regularly: Are you over 18?: Who have you written for here before, especially last year?: Would be willing to pinch-hit on Oct 29 or Oct 30? Any other comments?: List which type of relationship you want in your gift (gen, het, male slash, female slash, or ANY): List 3 - 5 pairings or characters you would like to see in your gift: List up to 2 genres you would like to see in your gift (drama, romance, adventure, horror, comedy): List up to 3 squicks you DO NOT want in your gift: List up to 3 Halloween things as prompts for your gift: List which types of relationships you are willing to write (or ANY): List 3 - 5 pairings or characters you are willing to write (or ANY): List 2 genres you are willing to write (or ANY): List up to 3 squicks you WILL NOT write:

Basically, it will help me match to have your wants stated explicitly. I've been confounded in the past! And let me say one more time that ANYs will earn my adoration. ~_^

FYI: If you don't tell me who you've written for before (if you're returning to the exchange), you could end up writing for that person again.

Rules:
1. You must be 18 years of age or over and confirm this in your sign-up.

2. All gift drabbles must be emailed to the mod account by October 28. lore's birthday is Halloween, so please make her a present of your timely submission.

3. All gift drabbles must be 200 words exactly. We do check word counts.

4. Any entries should be placed under an LJ cut.

5. Gifts must be marked with appropriate warnings.

6. Drabbles may not portray people under the age of 18 engaging in sexual acts.

7. Please code entries for bold, italics, underline, etc, and with the appropriate header information.

8. Send drabbles to the mod email account in text-only format. If you need help with this, ask and you will receive it.

Please friend the community for updates and to see the drabbles! No need to become a member, we don't post anything locked.

There is a feedback rule instituted by the original mod, and we will continue to honor it: If you don't have anything nice to say, then please don't say it. This is a gift community not a forum for criticizing others' work. If you have a real problem with something someone wrote, then please get in touch with me first.

If you have questions, email us at hphmods @ gmail.com (no spaces). Sign-ups and entries will be mirrored on LJ, so please be sure to only sign up in one place. Thanks, all! I can't wait to see all the writers looking to get their spooky on this year!

love, lore
