Hamiathes' Gift Exchange is on!

[pendrecarc.livejournal.com]

Okay, this is happening! I'm thrilled so many people are interested.

This is the first exchange I've run, so A) I'm very open to input, but B) I may err on the side of what seems simplest this time around. I'm not an artist, so I'd particularly like input on anything to do with fanart. I'm basing those requirements on what I've seen in other exchanges.

Here's the plan. Please comment with questions and suggestions.

Based on poll results, the Sounis LJ community is the most convenient place to post announcements. I may put pinch hit posts in a separate DW community that will also include all the announcements, as I don't want to skirt too close to violating the rules about posting fanfic in this community. (Thoughts on that, anyone? I'm mostly thinking DW because I find LJ post formatting a pain.) You'll be able to get in touch with me by commenting in either place.

I'll link announcements on my Tumblr using the Hamiathes' Gift Exchange tag as well, for those of you who said that was more convenient.

Signups, matching, and posting of fanworks will be on AO3. ETA that if you don't have an AO3 account, you can sign up for one here. There's a waiting list, but it doesn't usually take more than a few days, so you have plenty of time to sign up.
