The snarry_swap is under new management and sign-ups for the fifth annual snape_potter Daft Day snarry_swap will begin on August 4th. They will remain open until August 21st.
"Snarry Swap" is an anonymous fic and art exchange fest that has always been hosted by snape_potter. In previous years, this fest was posted only on IJ at the snarry_swap community. However, beginning this year, Snarry Swap, like all other fests hosted by snape_potter will be cross-posted directly to snape_potter on LJ, IJ, and DW. The snarry_swap community on IJ will remain, but will not be updated. All entries after this one including sign-ups will be posted at snape_potter with one exception: a master post that links to the "Snarry Swap" tag on snape_potter will be posted at snarry_swap to enable readers to easily locate the entries.

FAQs:
Q. You said the fest is "under new management". What does that mean? A. Former snape_potter mod, f13tch3r, has decided to sit out this round of Snarry Swap. snape_potter mod accioslash and leela_cat will be performing mod duties this time.
Q. Is the fest still an exchange? A. It is, indeed.
Q. What if I prefer not to write or draw something rated R or NC-17? A. Then this probably isn't the fest for you. The other fests sponsored by snape_potter (Snarry-a-Thon, Back to Hogwarts) welcome fic and art of all ratings. This one, however, to exemplify the original fest name of Smut Swap requires a higher rating.
Q. What if I sign up and find myself needing a couple more days to finish my submission? A. Contact the mods as soon as you realize that you won't make the deadline and request an extension. We do understand that sometimes life happens and will do our best to accommodate your request. However, because this is an exchange, we do ask that you understand that we may not be able to grant a request that comes right on or after the deadline.
