TITLE: Header/Banner
GIFT REQUEST:Header/Banner "I would love a new banner for my profile page with two quotes about writing: ""Whether or not you write well, write bravely"" - Bill Stout ""Fill your paper with the breathing of your heart."" - William Wordsworth. " The background theme can be the artist's discretion, but it would be great if it could features some kind of writing implement (e.g. fountain pen), as well as Brian and Justin - that's the 'write bravely' part.
NOTE: My dear Emily, I hope you like the graphics I did for you and that they're what you asked for. Happy Holidays!

TITLE: Silenced Nights
REQUEST: Angst, fluff, Hurt-comfort, Romance. Brian/Justin, Emmett, Gus, Ben, Daphne. Maybe it's Post-513 and Brian and Justin have an unconventional marriage. It's legal, but they still have an open-door policy, and some of their family tries to tell them why they're wrong for it (i.e. Mikey, Linds, Mel are most likely candidates). That's a specific idea, but really, I'd be happy with pretty much any Brian/Justin story if it includes Gus and Daphne and a somewhat happy or hopeful ending.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this idea. Gus isn't in it nearly as much as I would have liked, mainly because it was hard to fit him into the grown up conversations, but I hope that the end result is at least something like what the requester wanted. (BTW, I love Daphne. It was nice to spend some time with her.)
WARNING: It's not particularly nice to Michael and Melanie, but there's nothing in here that's outside the general tone of what was said and done in canon, and it's not meant to be taken too seriously.

TITLE: Stronger Together…
GIFT REQUEST: Fic. Angst, etc is fine, but prefer a hopeful, if not happy ending. With all the recent talk of a QAF movie, lets go with that. It's 10-12 years post series. Where are the guys now. I prefer mainly Brian & Justin as the central story, but would also like some inclusion of other characters, at least in terms of what they are up to now. Could be a reunion, could be a look back on what happened in the past, or could be ... you decide.
NOTE: AU. R, Porn. 18,000 words. After surviving years in a long-distance relationship, they finally marry only to be separated again. Just as they’re finally about to be reunited their relationship is tested once more. But they’re always stronger together, determined to make things work. Warnings: Love, Passion, Romance and a Little Angst, okay a lot of Angst in the beginning.

FROM: wren_kt7oz
TITLE: Pittsburgh, DC
REQUEST: hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, romance, fluff Brian/Justin - it's the holidays! A time for Christmas carols, merriment ... and cold and flu season. Somebody gets sick over the holidays -- how does everybody pull through?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm not sure this is anything like what the requester might have expected, or wanted, but it's the direction the story took from the minute I started to write. I have to admit I’m a sucker for Brian in take-charge mode, and I did build in some fluff with the kids and the rest of the family. I was even super-nice to Michael. I hope emynn enjoys it because I had a lot of fun writing it.

TITLE: Dance Me To The End Of Love
GIFT REQUEST: Video Not too angsty. Christmas is more for the warm fuzzies. Brian/Justin of course. Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love." So many key scenes between the two have involved dancing that this song seems just right for them to me. And it's so sexy. The original recording is around 2 mins shorter than the more recent live versions - but either is fine.

NOTE: Hope you'll like it. Did my best to get Mickey out of the picture. ;-)





A/N: Best to watch it in HD...js.

TITLE: Encounters: A Mystery, Told in Drabbles
GIFT REQUEST: Brian/Justin. Some angst, some hurt/comfort... With a happy ending for the boys. It could be cancer, or a big fight.... let's see what the author's muse has to say :)
NOTE: My muse is a bit of a flake and the fic she insisted on writing has very little angst and no hurt/comfort. I hope it makes you smile anyway.

FROM: url_girl
GIFT REQUEST: kellankyle asked for me to doodle this scene from plumsuede's Beyond
The Yellow Brick Road. Hope you like, bb! ;)

In years past, I've had people who felt they couldn't offer something as a gift because of time or skill (even though I think everyone has something to offer!), but some would ask if they could somehow still participate in the gift exchange. Some even offered to pay. While that isn't part of our regular annual exchange, I wondered how more people could have the opportunity to receive their own little piece a QaF fan creation while keeping up with the holiday giving mood.

What if say, we raffled off the opportunity to have someone receive a fic written by the ever wonderful xie_xie_xie. Or someone got to send the always fabulous maybe742 a prompt for a video? Or the epically hilarious url_girl (aka reeface) were to create a BJ/QaF doodle based on your prompt?

Well now is your chance as these generous and creative Folkers have graciously volunteered to create a special gift just for you!!!  And this is open to EVERYONE so spread the word!

( find out all the details here )

If you have a question, put 'Question' in the subject line' and then ask away.

And I'm planning to send out the gift assignments for the exchange in the next 24hrs, so keep an eye on your email inboxes.

Sign-ups are still open, but clock is ticking... TICK TICK TICK!





Sign ups will remain open until OCTOBER 30, 2014 at 11:59pm Eastern

Assignments will be sent out by November 4, 2014. I will make assignments and pair you up with your gift recipient. I wanted to get them out earlier in case anyone is doing a November writing challenge.

Check out all the rest of the details here.

Once sign ups have closed, I'll be announcing an extra special addition to this year's gift exchange (open to EVERYONE who loves QaF and wants to support a good cause), so be sure to follow qaf_giftxchnge for all the details.

If you have any questions or are thinking about it but aren't sure, please comment here (screened) or PM me and we can discuss.

Extra special announce will be posted on the 4th of November, if not earlier. Watch this space.
