If you have not received your gift and a mod hasn’t already been in contact with you about an extension, please contact someone on the mod team.
TIMELINE:
☑ Applications close May 31
☑ Assignments sent out June 8 - June 14
☑ Check-in July 30 - July 1
☑ Gifts posted July 15 - July 22
RULES FOR PARTICIPATING:
- Must have DMs open
- Must tag your recipient in the eventual post
- DM us ASAP if you don’t think you’ll get your gift out on time or at all/want to withdraw
RULES FOR CREATING:
- Must put the characters in an AU, no canon-compliance
- Respect Creator Boundaries
- Your gift doesn’t have to contain only requested characters, but it does have to centre on at least one requested character.
- Any creator-respecting shipping must be kept to PG-13 or below, no NSFW
- Dark or Violent themes must be tagged appropriately
CREATING RESOURCES:
- How to add your fic to an Ao3 Collection. [link]
- The Ao3 Collection. [link]
- How to image-describe your art. [link1] [link2]
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
- Art (1 drawing, created to a standard you would normally post as “finished”)
- Writing (1k+ words)
- Playlist (hour long playtime)
- Moodboard (2 boards)
- Web Weaving (2 boards)
MISC:
- If you tag this blog as well, we’ll RB your gift here!
- You will not necessarily be matched with someone who matches your ‘willing to create about’ exactly. The goal is to have multiple matches, but in cases of more obscure requests you might be matched with someone who only has one commonality between your ‘willing to create’ and their wish list. In that case at least you know what to make your gift around pretty quickly. :D
- Please send asks if you need information. If it is something you do not feel comfortable sending in an ask, you can message us at @antimony-medusa or @droidofmay.
- If you ask us a question about something that has been already outlined in this post we will not answer!
-I changed my mind about my gift list, I want to add something, what do I do? You can re-do your entry and we will delete the earlier version of any duplicate entries, or you send us an ask (off anon if you want an answer back) to change something (only minor changes using this method, please).
-Is there an Ao3 collection? I want to add my fic to it. Yes there is! It is titled “MCYTBLR AU Fest Summer 2022″ and the link is here.
-I added my fic to the Ao3 collection, but I can’t see it? The collection is currently set to ‘unrevealed’, so works can be added but won’t be visible before reveal day, so it’s all a surprise.
-I want to image-describe my art, but I’ve never done that before? The excellent @fearforthestorm has volunteered to help people write image-descriptions, as long as that isn’t everyone calling them up on the final day before posting. Image-descriptions are not required, but helps to make Tumblr (and the gift exchange) accessible to more people, so it’s a lovely thing to do.
-I need to contact my recipient, but they have anon off! What do I do? Talk to us, we’ll contact them for you.
- I didn’t save my assignment message and now I’ve forgotten my assignment, what now? Get in contact with us, we’ll resend it.
-I can't finish my gift by the deadline, what do I do? You have two options. Option one is to consider if you can still finish it by a couple days or a week or so later, and ask the mods if you can get an extension. We will check with your recipient to see if it's okay to extend your deadline. Option two is to drop entirely, in which case you tell a mod, and we will assign your gift to a pinch-hitter so your recipient still gets something. In both cases, the important thing is that you get in contact with a mod ( @antimony-medusa or @droidofmay ) as soon as possible to figure out a plan.
