Arkane Secret Santa

The official blog for the 2023 Christmas Arkane fic exchange

[arkane-secret-santa]

Hello fellow Arkane Fans!

This is an annual prompt-based gift exchange for fans of all the amazing imsim games designed by Arkane Studios.

The principle is quite simple; you sign up on the AO3 collection, and get matched with two people. One of them will write a fic for you, based on a prompt and a handful of tags you've provided, and the other will be the one to whom you will gift a fic.

You can find more detailed rules and explanations on the AO3 collection page, and don't hesitate to reach out if you still have a question!

Hello fellow Arkane Fans!

Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Arkane Secret Santa exchange. This is an annual prompt-based gift exchange for fans of all the amazing imsim games designed by Arkane Studios.

The principle is quite simple; you sign up on the AO3 collection, and get matched with two people. One of them will write a fic for you, based on a prompt and a handful of tags you've provided, and the other will be the one to whom you will gift a fic.

This year, to commemorate Arkane Austin closing down, we would like to give special attention to Redfall, Prey, and Dishonored 2. (Of course, all other related fandoms are still very welcome!)

You can find more detailed rules and explanations on the AO3 collection page, and don't hesitate to reach out if you still have a question!

What are nominations?

Nominations allow to add tags, characters, and pairing to an AO3 collection. This is needed because some tags are too niche (aka have too few works under them) for AO3 to allow them in a gift exchange.

If there are characters, pairings, or tags you'd like to see, please add them to the tagset.

If you forgot, don't worry! You will still be able to add them in your prompt description. However, you won't be able to be matched with other authors based on those tags, and hence might get a less fitting match.
