ANNOUNCING: 2006 Stocking Stuffer Swap
Hosted by Little Balrog & Dream Elf
What is the Stocking Stuffer Swap?
It is a trading of fanfics between writers, and a chance for artists to have some fun, too. Each participant requests a fanfic with a particular pairing and rating and then writes a fanfic for one of the other participants. Your task will be assigned to you anonymously - that is, you won't know who is writing your fanfic and you won't know whose fanfic you are writing until the posting of them on Saturday, December 24, 2005. This is an adult HET fanfic exchange with an ELF emphasis (that is, at least one member of each requested pairing must be an elf)
Release Dates
All participants must register by Wednesday, October 4, 2006. You will receive your assignment by Monday, October 9, 2006. All entries are due in by Monday, December 18, 2006. Entries may be turned in sooner than the last day, and it is encouraged that you don't wait until the last minute to send your entry due to technical errors that may occur. Entries will be available for viewing on Sunday, December 24, 2005. Stories may not be released to other archives, lists, or anywhere else online until January 15, 2007 .
All stories must be new works, that is, this can't be a work you already started prior to getting your assignment.
For more information, go to http://www.queencheetah.com/hetswap
To register as an author or beta, fill out the form on the site. Artist information will be available after October 6, 2006

What if you participate, sign up for a story, but real life intervenes and you cannot make it before the deadline?

We had that happen last year for two of our participants... one of them actually contacted the person she was writing for, and offered to get it done on extension, which the receiver was totally fine about. The other person contacted me, and I helped to write the rest of the story with her so that it was finished on time. Also, as I'm a pretty fast writer (example: I received my assignment for the slash swap this year at 10am on Saturday and had my 5,000 word entry to a beta by 4pm that same day) I can always sub in last minute if need be.
Hope you decide to join us! It's quite a lot of fun! ^_^

I can imagine that it is loads of fun, but by fast writing days have been replaced by one paragraph a day if I'm lucky and if the wee!one has a good day, maybe a bit more. So that is why I am asking, I have my hands a bit more free end of November.
Between 2,000 and 5,000 words... well it's more realistic than the NaNoWriMo.
I really like the idea btw

More realistic, and less stress... all through December we also have a daily prompt for writing of ficlets/drabbles as well, for those who want to get in a bit of writing but don't want to join the swap, and a nine-day smut fest at the beginning of January for the same purpose... |

Sounds very interesting. It caught my attention. I'm interested to participate to this. I'm a writter, of course, not a beta and usually, I make a chapter for a day and it's a frequent time. So, I'm up to start the adventure as my first trial into it.

Wish I had caught this sooner. Oh, well. Maybe next time.
