Kismeseve Art Exchange 2017
So, as with Moirailween and Secret Santa at the end of the year, the decided date for the Platonic Exchange means these two events have a bit of overlap. But that’s fine! Let’s just get this show rolling!
Everyone who wants to participate must fill >>THIS GOOGLE FORM<< before July 31st.
On August 1st,  we’ll publish a numbered list of all our participants, and send everyone an ask with a number. The person whose number matches the one you were sent is the one you’ll be making a gift for! Once we’ve sent all the asks, we’ll make a post saying we have done so - if you haven’t received yours, don’t be afraid to come to us about the issue. If you’re not sure if you were included, please check the participants page or send us an ask.
You can start revealing your gifts on Kismeseve (August 14th), but you actually have until August 24th to post your art. Tag it as #fantrollcharity, as you would with normal entries, and remember to include the URL of the person you made it for! We will then reblog all the art and tag it as #Kismeseve Art Exchange 2017 and the recipient’s URL.
Since our theme is fantrolls, all requests must be fantroll related!
Additionally, this is a ship art exchange. Please don’t enter if you’re not comfortable with making art of at least two characters in the same piece.
This exchange is for the pitch quadrant. Please don’t enter with any other kinds of relationships. (Exes, crushes and complicated situations including quadrant flipping are all okay, as long as it’s a kismesis relationship in one way or another.) We have separate events for the other three quadrants.
Regarding poly relationships: They are fine but please don’t make them the only option, so that no one is forced to draw more characters than everyone else. The relationships must still be pitch; for example, don’t include one of the trolls’ matesprit and use poly as an excuse unless they’re also the other troll’s second kismesis or in a quadflip relationship.
You can request NSFW and gory art, but do not make them the only option. Some people might not be of age or otherwise comfortable drawing those things. As usual, you and your troll/s must be of age too. We will make a separate page for requests that are too explicit to show on the general requests page.
Likewise, don’t make NSFW or gory work for anyone who hasn’t asked for it. Put very explicit works under a readmore and tag it accordingly.
Remember that this is a bigger commitment than the Raffle feature is. If you bail out after entering, you’ll leave someone without a gift! We can arrange compensation art, but you will be put on our blacklist until you’ve done your part.
Don’t reveal yourself to your assigned person before posting the art!
You don’t need to fulfill all of the requests! You can just pick one. If you feel nice, no one’s stopping you from fulfilling more however.
We will try to pair people based on their art preferences for receiving and making the art. People with less specific preferences will still be paired up randomly, as well as people with no perfect matches. Regardless, no complaints about either the person making art for you or who you’re making art for. Let’s all be nice to each other!
If we notice that you ignored the rules while reading your application, it will be automatically discarded. You will be sent an ask about it and you will be welcome to resend your application if you fix the issue.
What if I don’t have a kismesis ship but want to join in to make art?
You can always enter someone else’s ship instead of your own! If you don’t personally know anyone with a ship you could enter, send us an ask and we’ll find someone for you to pleasantly surprise.
If you have questions, they might be already answered in our exchange asks tag. If not, feel free to inquire! Have fun!
