Sign-up Templates!
Sign-ups are coming soon! We'll be running them from August 5th through August 12th (or until we reach our participant cap, which will be 80 this year), so it's time to get ready! Here's the sign-up template so that you can start thinking about your sign-ups, and pleaseremember that your work will be due October 10th. Refer to the Rules and FAQs or e-mail us at snarryholiday@gmail.com if you have any questions!
To help you out, here are a few examples. If you need any other help - again, don't hesitate to e-mail us!
Example of a GOOD sign-up:
Name: Snarry Hols
E-mail: snarryhols@gmail.com
Age statement: I am over 18 years of age.
For the gift that you will receive
Slash, pre-slash or gen: I prefer slash, but pre-slash with lots of UST is just fine too!
Genres, kinks, requests: I like hurt/comfort or angst, with plenty of plot (and plenty of smut too of course!) As far as kinks go, I love rope bondage, watersports, and piercing. I'd really like it if the fic was DH-compliant and ignored the epilogue, and I'd also like to see a happy ending for our boys!
Squicks, dislikes, cautions: I'm squicked by house elves in sexual situations, necrophilia, threesomes, and incest. I don't like Ginny much, but I don't care if she's in the fic – as long as she's not with Snape or Harry! And please, please be careful about overusing nicknames … I just can't picture Snape as "little Sevvy snuggle-bunny!"
Optional Prompt/s (up to three): Just a few ideas to jump-start your muse: 1. Eileen's reaction to Severus's relationship with Harry (especially if Eileen Prince was disguised as Irma Pince, all those years!); 2. Severus is ashamed to show Harry his Animagus form; 3. Harry's Auror training isn't complete without an O on his Potions NEWT, and there's only one person who can tutor him…
Maximum rating: NC-17 – the pornier, the better!
Other info:
For the gift that you will give
Slash, pre-slash, or gen: I prefer to write gen, thanks!
Strengths: Plot, character development, historical time-lines, AU or AR, minor characters
Squicks: I would rather not write hard-core smut, and the usual squicks (necro, scat, bestiality) … I don't particularly like to write pre-slash or UST either, and I just can't make myself write epilogue-compliant fic.
Maximum rating: PG
Example of a BAD sign-up:
Name: Snarry Hols
E-mail: snarryhols@gmail.com
Age statement: I am over 18 years of age.
For the gift that you will receive
Fic or art?
Slash, pre-slash or gen: I prefer slash, but pre-slash with lots of UST is just fine too!
Genres, kinks, requests: Oh anything is good, just surprise me!
Squicks, dislikes, cautions: Don't like angst
Optional Prompt/s (up to three):
Maximum rating: R
Other info:
For the gift that you will give
Fic or art?
Slash, pre-slash, or gen: any
Strengths: I'll write anything
Squicks: blue sheep

It should be common sense, but please, please, please fill out the form completely! We have a hard time giving people assignments when spaces are left blank or the answer is "oh whatever, anything," and it can be hard for your gifter to know what to create for you if they don't know what you like and what you dislike. On the other hand, too much detail is bad too – if you find that you've started to write the fic yourself, you probably haven't left enough free range for your gifter's creativity to play!
Remember that neither the mod nor the person writing/drawing a gift for you is psychic. If you have not included your deep&abiding love for fuzzy bunny slippers on your sign-up, chances are that neither Harry nor Severus will be wearing fuzzy bunny slippers. If you only like fic where Severus is the one wearing fuzzy bunny slippers, and you don't specify … well, you can hardly expect your gifter to know!
This is NOT the sign-up post. We'll open sign-ups at midnight EST on August 5th!
