Thanks to everyone who responded to my poll. Enough people said they were interested for the fix exchange, which means...
Sign-ups for this year’s Skulduggery Pleasant Fic Exchange are now open!
If you've participated before, feel free to head straight to the sign up page. Sign-ups close at the end of August, so make sure you fill in the sign-up form before then! Please let me know if you’re interested in signing up for a pinch-hit too.
If you're new to the fic exchange or just want a refresher, read on:
What is it?
A fic exchange is an event where you write a fanfiction for someone else and in return you’ll get a fanfiction written just for you. It’s basically a fandom Secret Santa.
For this particular exchange, you get to request 3-5 fanfics. A writer assigned to you will then pick one of these requests to fill. In return, you’ll be expected to write a fic that is at least 1000 words long based on someone else’s requests. As this is a Skulduggery Pleasant fic exchange all requests and fills must be related to the books in some way.
More information is available on the Rules and FAQ pages.
How exactly does it work?
Fill in this sign-up form before August 31st. This is where you list your requests and state what you will and won’t write.
You’ll then be matched with your recipient. You’ll receive 3-5 requests detailing what they’d like you to write. You get to choose which of these requests you fill.
Then it’s time to write! You get three months to finish your fic. Completed fics should be at least 1000 words in length, but can be longer if you wish. It should be based on your recipient’s requests.
Once you’ve written your fic, you need to submit it to the group. More info on how to do this will be given at a later date. All fics must be submitted by December 1st
On December 31st all the fanfics will be revealed. You’ll receive your gifted fic and your recipient will receive the fic you wrote them.
How do I sign up?
You’ll need an AO3 account to sign up. If you don’t already an account you can request one via this link. You can also message @bubblemoon66 for an invite code if you don’t want to wait for AO3 to send one out.
Once you’ve logged into AO3, fill in this form. There are two sections:
The first part is the request section. Requests are the fics you’d like someone else to write for you. You will have to make between 3 and 5 requests. At least one of these must be ship-free. Writers are allowed to choose which of your requests they’ll write.
The second part of the form is the offer section. This is where you say what you are and aren’t willing to write. I encourage participants to include as much information as possible in this section. E.G. It’s worth making a note of whether you’re underage, up to date with the latest books or uncomfortable writing other people’s fan characters.
Further instructions can be found on the form itself but if you need any help filling it in please message @bubblemoon66.
Is there anything I can do to help?
If you’d like to help, you can sign up to be a “pinch-hitter”. Pitch-hitters are people who agree to fill in for someone who drops out the last moment. It means writing two (or more) fics in exchange for just one. Pinch-hitters will have different deadlines and word limits to everyone else. If you’re interested in becoming one or want to know more please contact @bubblemoon66.
You can also help be reblogging this post and telling your fandom friends to sign-up for the exchange.
It’s that time of year again! Sign-ups for this year’s Skulduggery Pleasant Fic Exchange are now open!
Head on over to the AO3 page if you’re interested. Sign-ups close at the end of August, so make sure you fill in the sign-up form before then! Please let me know if you’re interested in signing up for a pinch-hit too.
If you participated in previous years you’ll already have a good idea of how it works, but I recommend reading over the Rules and FAQ as a refresher before signing up.
If you’re new to the fic exchange and have no idea what the hell I’m talking about then read on:
Among the many development in the final Skulduggery Pleasant novel, my favourite has to be the revelation that Skulduggery’s taste in men is worse than Valkyrie’s.
im such a man who leans in doorways. relaxes against the counter. drapes across a couch. sprawls over an armchair. my spine isnt straight and by god neither am i.
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are like. I’ve known you for the majority of my life. I’ve known you for just a few moments compared to how long I’ve existed. We met when we were both lonely and needed a friend. You saved my life. You were the only one who ever believed me. You made me tea when I was freaking out. You fell asleep in the back of my car and I gave you my coat as a blanket. We’ve been through hell and back together. You got me skull-shaped cufflinks for Christmas and I wear them all the time. We destroyed each other and built each other up. I remember what you were like as a baby. You were a part of my life for so long I don’t know what I would do without you. Sometimes we sit on rooftops and contemplate life. We were erased from existence still hugging each other. You made me try out coffee and I hated it and you laughed at me. I give you goodnight kisses on the cheek. I love you. I love you. We stick together until the end.
