Santa's Queer As Folk Workshop

Gifts will begin posting at 6am (my time), and I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for signing up and submitting work! You're all superstars!!! Thanks for helping keep this fandom we all love so much rolling along :D

A special thanks to OhKate for the special icons she made for me to use for the posting of this year's gifts. I also want to again thank theextrac00kie for the brand new headers for the comm at LJ and IJ.

Hope everyone enjoys this year's wonderful creations, and please remember to leave some love.

Notes:
-if you want me to make any edits to your gift posts, leave a comment or shoot me an email
-I'll be cross-posting the gifts to IJ as soon as I can... I've queued as many gifts as I had on hand on livejournal, but posting from a queue doesn't appear possible on IJ, and it's slow going as i only have internet access on my tablet at the moment.
-I had a few people do a couple fills (thanks ladies!), so as a treat, both of their gift requests were filled... Pretty sure that's really a treat for all of us! :D
-All gifts will be posted before I head off to New Year's Eve activities (with perhaps the exception of a couple if I've heard from gifters who need to submit late... in this case I'll try to notify the recipient directly regarding the delay)

CORRECTION --> writer & beta names will NOT be removed for the initial posting (I was for some reason thinking the gift exchange was anon at the beginning, but that's usually only for the challenge comm... oops!) Let me know if this will be a problem. (comments are screened) So sorry for any confusion. My bad.

I'm starting to freak out. Are you starting to freak out?



Good Luck finishing (starting) everything up. Let me know if you need any assistance.

I'll post another reminder in a week.

PS Check out the new LJ & IJ comm headers created by the awesome theextrac00kie!!!!

I've already had three gifts turned in! Fantastic!

And when you're ready to send in your gift, please remember to copy, paste, and fill this out to include in your email along with your submission:

adapt this to fit your needs.

(writer & beta names will be removed for the intial posting and then be revealed on the 6th of January, 2013)

For those interested, there's a support post at qaf_ficwriters for all things related to your gift exchange fic, including:

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR...YOU KNOW THE ONE...THE GIVING TIME

I have the honor of running the exchange this year! Thanks to happier_bunny for doing an awesome job last year, but she & Xie are crazy busy so that's where I come in!

This notice is coming later than usual, but there's still lots of time to write, draw, photoshop, vid, or whatever other medium you work best in.

I hope many of you will participate. Last year there was about 42 gifts given, so come out, come out wherever you are, old fans and new! Let's make this year even bigger!

Like previous years, this round will be held on Livejournal and Insanejournal. You can sign up where you want, I will mix up all participants and then post all the gifts on LJ and IJ. That way everyone should be able to play. I'll also be spreading the word on Tumblr, so hopefully that will add even more participants into the mix.

RULES

Please don't sign up if you may not be able to fulfill your gift. IF an emergency happens and you can't participate, please let me know as soon as possible so I can beg someone to stand in so that no one goes giftless.

All submissions have to be new, everything else would be just plain rude.

NO Brian/Michael, no MPREG, no RPS. Everything else is fine.

Gifts cannot be posted in your own LJ, IJ or elsewhere until one week after they are revealed here.

I will make every effort to match requests with talent. I will also make every effort to fulfill each request. However, if for some reason, your request cannot be fulfilled, I would hope that whatever is substituted will be accepted with gratitude and dignity and with the spirit in which is was intended.

Please feel free to pimp away...and beg all fans to come and participate. Questions? Ask away!
