Summary (and any warnings):
What You Need To Do
1. Sign up and fill out your wishlist from 23-30 June, when the Sign Up post appears in the Events forum.
2. Once the sign up period is over, wait patiently (or impatiently) while the Ficmas in July elves sort through the forms and allocate each participant a person to write for. You will be sent a PM telling you who you have been allocated.
3. Write! The official Writing Time is 6-14 July, but you can write during the Fic Posting period as well - as long as you post your fic before 31 July!
4. Post! Amaze your gift recipient (and everyone else) with the fic that you wrote, revealing yourself in the process.
What You Need To Know
1. Fics must be a minimum 800 words. There is no maximum!
2. You only need to write one fic.
3. Fics must not be greater than a PG-13 rating (due to underage participants) unless cleared by one of the Ficmas In July elves, who will permit an R rating fic if they are satisfied the person receiving the gift is over 18.
4. More information about creating your wishlist will be in the Sign Up post.
5. Fics must be posted by 31 July. If you become unable to post your fic by then, let wordy know ASAP. If you default on your exchange you may be banned from future events.
