Sign-ups for Snupin Santa 2010 are now closed, and I've begun the matching process! If anyone is curious about what I'm doing right now, you can read about the process
here. The post was written in 2007, but the process I use hasn't really changed all that much.
A few things to remember while you wait for your assignment email:
1. Your match will likely not be a perfect one. I have a smaller pool to draw from this year (I haven't tallied the total # of participants yet, but I estimate we're hovering around 45) due to fandom/ship shrinkage, which is one of the pitfalls of a closed canon. With fewer people to work with, you probably won't get someone whose likes/dislikes dovetail perfectly with yours, but you are
not obligated to give them everything on their kink/want list, especially if there's something on there that you don't like. Pick the things you're comfortable with from their list and don't worry about the rest.
2. While I'd love this year's participants to be flexible, if you get a match that you feel you absolutely can't work with for whatever reason, please email the Snupin Santa mods at snupin_santa @ yahoo.com ASAP. The sooner you let us know, the sooner we can work something out with you so that you have an assignment you're satisfied with.
3. If you have any questions for your recipient at any point between now and your deadline, please email the Snupin Santa mods at snupin_santa @ yahoo.com, and we'll be happy to relay the question(s) to your recipient and send you the answer as soon as we can. We keep a close eye on the mod email and will respond in a timely manner.
