we did extend it into January so if people had a bit of holiday boredom or freer time after, but it is quite a busy time! Signups are now open!

I've got a clarificatory question here. Say I'm answering a wishlist item that asks for a Battle Magic AU. How do I apply the BM spoiler policy to it? Do I post it in the events forum with a spoiler tag, or does it go to the BM forum and the fic here is a stub with a link to the BM forum fic? ...Am I just complicating things unnecessarily?

Post it in the events forum with a spoiler tag (in the post title and the notes and warnings part of the post body). All Wishing Tree fics are to go in the events forum. Other usual rules about warnings for fics also apply. Not complicating things; it was a good question

Other question is, can we make multiple responses to one prompt from one user? (Assume that I've already done at least two responses to two different prompts from two different users--it's just that I realised that one of them might prefer if I take their gift fic in a different direction, but I don't want to delete the original fic.) Sorry for all the questions!

As long as you meet the requirement of writing for at least two different prompts for two different participants, you can then choose to write as many responses as you like to any one prompt or user.
