Form due by: Nov 23 (Black Friday)
Get assignments by: Nov 26
Art due by: Dec 31
(having it slightly later means you have the time between Christmas and New Year’s to finish!) More logistics deets at @artyuletide.
How much time does it take to learn about someone else’s minor fandom?
The recipient usually includes a lot of helpful links that allow you to get a quick sampling, so if you’re short on time, I’d say ~2 hours.  That said, part of the fun of Art Yuletide is learning about (or revisiting) an obscure thing, so if you get caught up in it.... who knows?  You might have a new favorite show or end up rereading all of Nancy Drew.
Why is the sign-up form so long?
It’s so that the person drawing your minor fandom has all the resources they need!  But yeah, depending on the fandom, it may take a while to collect the links.
Do I have to be a good artist?
What is Good Art, really?  ;)  Think about how happy you’d be to get a picture of your OC, or your super obscure fandom.  So it’s less about how “good” the art is and more about how thoughtful the art is.  That said, I suppose there’s a certain baseline of “eyes goes on face” that need to be met.  Here’s the artwork from 2017, 2016 , 2015 , 2014.
Can I join if I only write fic?
It’s art-centric, so the requests may be phrased as an image and not as a fic scene.  That said, there have been cool fic gifts.
What if I don’t want to receive fic?
I always check with the recipient first before assigning.
