❄️🎁❄️You Could Make a Life Holiday Fanwork Exchange 2024❄️🎁❄️
Hello!
Hockey is almost back which means it’s time for another You Could Make a Life Holiday Fanwork Exchange!
Mixing it up a bit this year and the event will be organized by your humble Luigrein. We hope to see you all participate!
The format will be the same as years prior:
❄️What is this?
Just a pretty normal and chill fandom exchange to celebrate the holidays. In short, you create something for another fan and get something in return!
Anyone in the You Could Make a Life fandom can participate. You can check the wrap-up posts for 2019, 2020, and 2022, or check this blog's latest posts in 2023 if you want to have an idea of what people have previously created.
❄️What can I make/get?
The idea is to:
write fic of at least 1000 words; or
make 1 piece of fanart; or
make 1 playlist of at least 11 songs with a cover; or
make 1 gifset; or
create a short video edit (minimum 30 seconds); or
one complete and edited podfic of a text that is originally at least 1000 words;
one complete and edited podfic of at least 10 minutes.
You can specify whether you prefer fic and/or art when you sign up!
❄️What am I allowed to create/request?
Any pairing, theme and rating are allowed. However, since this universe is huge, please be flexible and include as many things you like as possible in the request and the offer. If you are only willing to receive a Trigger/Crane Matchmaker AU, while we appreciate your dedication to goalies, we may not be able to find you a suitable match! We may contact you if, for any reason, it’s impossible for us to find a match for you and we need you to think of more options.
❄️I don't understand podfic, tell me more.
It means somebody will record an audio version of a fic. If you are interested in receiving a podfic, you will be able to add links to works you'd like to have in that format (please make sure the author allows for this type of transformative work), or you could request any of your own fics.
❄️Timeline
Sign-ups are open now and end on October 10th 3pm EST.
After that, we will start matching people and you will be notified as soon as possible of the person you have been assigned.
By November 30th, we will be emailing you to confirm that you are still participating. If for some reason you cannot participate any more, please notify us as soon as possible, so that we can make sure we find a pinch-hitter.
The works will be posted between December 15th and 31st, in whatever platform best suits your work. Please make sure you inform us (tagging this blog, for instance, or via ask box/email) and the recipient. Everything will be shared in this blog.
❄️Ok this sounds cool, how do I sign up?
Just fill in this form! Please read the sections carefully since we have changed some wording/formatting things. And don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or comments :)
Thanks!
