    Secret Santa Author Edition 2014

    The following are a list of some basic rules this will follow to protect the Authors from any rampant fuckery that may or may not have occurred last time we did this:

    • Post here if you want to either Donate Your Skills or Donate your Ideas. If you do not you will not be put in the draw.

      [*]The Authors are under no obligation to fulfill your request. They are doing this of their own good will and if they are uncomfortable with the request they can decline it.
      [*]Winners state the outline. That means that while you can control the general gist of what Authors write you cannot control the details.


    ENTRY DEADLINE: 24 December 2014

    It'll then be up to you to contact your significant other if you're the guy with the challenges. I recommend that you ask to check that they can write.

    For example, I'd probably prefer writing Dresden Files fanfics, but I might also do Buffy, RWBY or Harry Potter. Then you deliver the challenge and the author either accepts or declines.

    Lemme know if any problems that you absolutely cannot solve yourselves arise and I'll try to help out and maybe re-assign you.

    I offer my talents. I still owe WalkingDisaster a H/H from the Rendevouz thread (I think) but its grown to like 15k and is a WIP. This, however, I would do much more quickly and succinctly. (I think)

    You have to wait with your idea until you're assigned someone Xandrel, but your enthusiasm is appreciated. :)

    I'll also pitch in, both with ideas and as a writer!

    Any particular skill requirement to participate as an author?

    'cuz if not, I'd like to give it a shot. Assuming nobody minds getting a shit author, anyway.

    I'm really, really not the guy to diss anyone's skill as an author. There's no requirement, no.

    I've added a deadline adding your name to the list in the original post. Gonna start up a list, too, once we get a few more participants. :)

    I've been meaning to write something and I'll have a bunch of free time after New Year, so I'll throw my hat in as an author.

    I'll toss my name in the hat as well. Haven't written anything substantial for a while, I might be getting rusty.

    Midknight is AWOL and I'm trying to figure out logistics. Will probably be putting up a thread this weekend with instructions.

    I'm not entering again because I suck. I still haven't finished the challenge I got in 2013. I've worked on it, but it's not ready. I therefore feel wrong asking for something else and wouldn't feel right offering to write something else either til I finish this (awesome) one.

    But I love Secret Santa ^^
