Rules
1. Prompts submitted must be in line with a holiday trope. Think Hallmark movies, holiday classics, or any original idea that coincides with that time of year (i.e. shopping, tree decorating, candle lighting, etc.). Share your dream holiday story!
2. Keep your fic a secret! To ensure that everyone is surprised, we ask that you keep any conversations regarding your fic vague as you never know who may be participating. If you need help with your fic (beta reading, ideas, writing sprints, etc.) please reach out to one of us!
3. All fics must be between 2,500 and 15,000 words (not including any special formatting used to upload pictures, HTML code, etc). This ensures that everyone gets a gift in similar size.
4. Fics are not to be written using GenAI of any sort. If you're struggling with writing, please reach out to one of us. If a fic is determined to have been written using GenAI, or any other AI tool, both your prompt and your gift will be removed from the exchange and reallocated accordingly to ensure your giftee is still given a gift and their hard work does not go to waste.
5. Have fun! We're all here just to gift our fandom with holiday fics featuring our favorite ship. No pressure to do anything more than have a good time!
