TO: sangwin
FROM: gaeln
TITLE: Doing Unto Others
GIFT REQUEST: Fic: Brian & Justin in present day New York. Holidays post Sandy & election
NOTE: The last gift exchange fic I did, several years ago, was about Brian & Justin’s last Christmas at Britin while this one is about their fourth in New York so, the old one leads into the new, which made the writing of this kind of sweet for me!
My gift recipient wanted this post Sandy and the election still, I felt I had to acknowledge that they happened so, I start with 4 drabbles, two for Sandy & 2 for the election, before getting on with the story.

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.

~ A sign up post is to follow (all comments will be screened)

~ Sign ups will remain open until November 11, 2012 11:59pm Eastern

~ Assignments will be sent out by November 19, 2012. I will make assignments and pair you up with your gift recipient.

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!
