kh_drabble | Nov. 1st, 2007

IN BEFORE I FORGET AGAIN OHOHOHOHO. Look at the timestamp.

It's time for that period of the year again! As Christmas draws near,

kh_drabble is opening up its special one-month Secret Santa activity. This is the sign-up post, so please read the rules carefully before signing up.

To participate, you have to meet just ONE requirement: You have to be an ACTIVE member of the community. Meaning, I need THREE drabbles you have written in the year 2007 (yes, the requirements have changed. A little)

"But how do I know how many drabbles I've written? You can't tell me to go and poke around in the calendar, right? I'd die of boredom!"

That's what the ARCHIVES are for. 8D Every drabble written has been memoried, and we can check as well. So if you meet the sole requirement of this SS, go ahead and put your name in! (This includes both challenges and misc. drabbles.)

"So, how does the Secret Santa work?" Very simply!

In this post, all comments are screened. What we want you to do is to submit your name, your WORKING email address (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) and your preferences for a drabble. Remember, this is KH DRABBLE, not a lengthy comm, so the gifts would naturally be of a drabble-length (following comm's rules). It's up to the writer to extend the gift (either length of fic or number of drabbles) if they so wish though. But guys, guys, even if I'm not stringent with the word length, please don't submit a short novella even if you want to. Just write in the spirit of the community.

This is the preferred format for your sign-up:

-----------------------------------------

Sign-Up
Name:
Email:
Links:: (Provide links to drabbles written in 2007)

Request
Character:
Pairing:
Theme/Genre:
Rating:
Additional Notes:

Also, one new one: Are you willing to pinch-hit for someone?:

(Sorry, there was supposed to be a neat javascript box that I could use for people to C&P from, but for some reason it's not breaking lines properly [keeps using < BR > in places where there is an actual line break] and so I took it off.)

----------------------------------------

Your preferences should include character, pairing and themes/genres, and any additional notes that you want to add to your comment for your gifter, such as a liking for slash/het/bestiality/whatever. This is to ensure that your gift-writer knows what kind of fanfics you like to read.

Example for the request section:
Request
Character: Marluxia, Lexaeus, Luxord, Riku (Writer can choose ANY ONE/ALL to write)
Pairing: SoraxKairi, LexaeusxLarxene (Writer can choose ANY PAIRING/ALL to write)
Theme/Genre: Comedy gold, gen

etc etc.

NOTE: As we cannot hope to pair everyone up with their ideal writer and invariably there will be instances of "I can't write this fic because I don't write comedy/romance/het/slash/etc/etc", the preferences are there so that your gift-writer can try their best to fulfill ONE of each criteria based on your preferences. We're not perfect. We can't tell who writes for what genre most successfully.

The Request list will be CLOSED on November 30th 2007, 12 MIDNIGHT PST.

We'll send you your recipient's request via EMAIL (this is why it is IMPORTANT) so PLEASE check your email on December 1st for that very important challenge. If you did not receive the email, please don't be shy, email me (wrong [at] livejournal [dot] com) to tell me that you haven't received your request.

YOU CANNOT CHOOSE YOUR GIFT-WRITER. That's the fun of having a Secret Santa, is it not?

We will assign your gift and your recepient in this manner:
- A signs up
- B signs up
- C signs up
- A writes for B, B writes for C, C writes for A.

The Secret Santa will run from Dec 1st 2007 to Dec 25th 2007. Send your gifts to me (

wrong) via EMAIL so that I can consolidate all the drabbles into one HUGE post and post it on Christmas Day itself.

This also means: If you didn't write your gift-fic, YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING YOUR PRESENT. It's only fair. So please, please participate? It'll be fun and it's all goodwill, and you'll make someone really happy as well.

And there's really no excuse. If you guys can churn out a drabble a week...8DDDD?

Normal weekly challenges will continue to run throughout this month-long challenge.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DO NOT PUT THEM IN YOUR REQUEST COMMENT. PUT THEM IN A SEPARATE COMMENT. I'll unscreen these comments so people can see if they have the same queries.

Enjoy yourselves, and have a great November/December!
