only just came across this account! is it too late to join now? i've never been part of a gift exchange before so I'm a little lost on how all this works T^T
(no worries if it is too late of course, super excited to see what everyone comes up with!)
You're definitely not too late! Signups have just opened, and will be open for just over a week! Hop into our discord to find more information, and here's a basic rundown of how the event works:
This event is a gift exchange similar to a secret santa, but with a couple more steps! First, everyone nominates tags, which means they add characters and relationships that they're interested to a big communal list on AO3. Then, signups open, where everyone who wants can sign up on AO3 using the tags from the list to say what they want to create, and what they want to receive. For example, I might request 'Olruggio/Qifrey' and 'Alaira/Luluci', because I want a work about one or both of those relationships, and i might offer 'Olruggio/Qifrey', 'Alaira/Luluci', and 'Coco & Tartah'. because think I could make a good work about them for someone else. After signups, assignments will be released! These will tell you who you're creating for, and what they like. There will always be one thing that they requested that you offered. You have about a month to make your gifts, with a check in in the middle to let us know you're on track, and then once all the gifts are in, the works are revealed! At this point, everyone is still anonymous for a week, when creators are revealed, and the exchange ends for the year.
Hopefully this makes sense! We look forward to seeing you in the server!
