let people ship things

alright, it's getting to be Christmas, so I'm reviving this blog specifically to ask if anyone has good commission artist suggestions.

while I'll commission anyone willing to do the pairing, I'd prefer to commission a fan that would absolutely enjoy working on something.

- it's going to be AU, I have a few ideas in mind

- I'll probably be looking for more than one

Does not have to be done before Christmas! May all be one artist or different artists, I'm not asking any one person to commit to several projects.

I appreciate the replies so far (still happy to hear from other artists!), if nothing else you'll get some new attention because I'm absolutely spreading the word to other fans about anyone contacting me with commissions open.

If you're NOT a RoyEd fan but happy to draw regardless, please let me know. I don't want to be giving anyone the wrong impression.

Anyway, just wanted to say- some things came up and I've been a little busy! Holiday season and all, but I will be reaching out to potential artists to discuss ideas.

I would love to work with someone who would be excited to do what they're hired for, a lot of my requests are AU, so if there's anything in particular you're really inspired by, please make note of that!

(ideas include things like rule!63 and monster AU. PROBABLY nothing NSFW atm but maybe another time.)

Hello!!

Welcome to the official blog of the new event prizing our favorite dysfunctional couple - RoyEd Valentine Gift Exchange!

With the thought that there are NEVER too many events and opportunities to write more RoyEd fanfics, I’ve decided to launch a new event for that purpose specifically.

So what is FMA Valentine Exchange?

Much like any regular gift exchange, the idea is to give – and receive – gifts to make this year just a little bit sweeter. There is no theme, and no restrictions – except that it would be kind of you to be considerate of your recipient’s wishes and dislikes. For this event, only fanfiction is eligible.

Content can be any rating, and any form – as long as it is age appropriate and in accordance to both parties’ wishes. Please do not request nsfw content if you are a minor, although I do no have any way to regulate this. Please be considerate of your recipient’s limits as well. We are all working on mutual respect here and the idea is to have fun!

How does it work?

Sign up using this form. Signups start right at this moment, and will end at midnight December 22nd. By December 25th you will receive an email with the username and preferences of your recipient – and that’s where the fun starts! You will have the next month (more or less) to create your gift. Gifts are to be between 3k-5k words of length, and should be of decent level (aka, please use a beta reader! If you need help with that, please contact the mods for help).

Works will be posted anonymously on the RoyEd AO3 collection by February 12th. On February 14th the works will be revealed. For a week they will remain anonymous, and then on February 21st the names of the authors will be revealed.

Rules

1.       Be respectful. Understand and respect your recipient limits, whether it is a matter of preference or an age matter.

2.       Be responsible. If you feel you cannot finish your gift on time, please contact the admins and let them know so a replacement (pinch hitter) can be assigned in your place, or the recipient can know that a delay might be in place. We all know the feeling of putting the effort to give someone a gift but not receiving anything back. Not a fun feeling, so let’s try to limit that as much as possible, shall we?

3.       Play nice. Please do not reveal yourself to your recipient before the works are revealed. This is not a strict rule, but, hey, it’s part of the fun!

4.       Be kind. If you see tropes, themes, etc that you do not like -  Do not bash, kink-shame or hate on any participant and/or their likes/dislikes or you will be banned.

Six Sentence Sunday

Writers: post (approximately) six sentences from something you’re working on. If you aren’t ready to do that, add six sentences to your WIP.

Readers: challenge yourselves to leave a six sentence comment or give a writer a six sentence prompt. (or a total of six sentences for the day)

Fans and creators alike: reblog a fandom post and add some love in the tags. Aim for 6 posts - or 6 tags. Whatever you can manage!

Wizards, the users of life magic, live among humans. But so do vampires, users of death magic via blood. Write what happens when a wizard is bit by a vampire.
