@joyboothâ replied to your post âGet warmed up, Pitches! Your startâs just four days away! Sign ups for...â
So, on January 1st, the sign up form will be posted here. Itâs just a google form that you fill out with your name and preferences. What preferences, you ask? Here are the main ones:Â
What kind of gift you want to give and receive
Can be: fanfic, edit/graphic, gifset, fanart, fanmix, fanvid, or something else I havenât thought of
What ships or characters you like
What kind of themes/tropes/frameworks you like
If you have any prompts for your Secret Valentine
If thereâs anything you do not want included, either in the gift you give or receive.
After the sign up period is over on January 14th, and all the participants are matched, a mod will contact you over tumblr IM with your recipient and all their relevant information. Once everyone confirms their assignment, you have a little under a month to create something from the request your recipient left and submit it to the AO3 collection if itâs a fic or the submit box if itâs not or you donât have an AO3 account.Â
As long as everything goes to plan, everyoneâs gift will go live over the course of the day on February 14th. Creators of those gifts will be revealed three days later on the 17th.
You can also find a more concise schedule here, check out the About page, or feel free to leave any other questions you have in the inbox.
