Very exciting Is there a max limit for prompts? I seem to remember it’s usually 5.

Yes, will be the usual five, I think, unless more would be helpful?

Ooh, yay! I love giving and receiving stories for Wishing Tree.
I'll have to think about what prompts I want to ask people to write for me this year!

I'm so keen for this! EDIT: I've started writing my first gift fic and uh oh, I've already caught the fever! This event might be detrimental to me finishing my NaNo novel...

I have not been writing much TP fic lately but this is the perfect event to find some inspiration!

Me too, Tamari! Just finished work for the year so thought I'd start it by reviewing all the prompts again!

Whoops, I totally missed the part about the 24th deadline and only looked at 1-31 Dec posting.
Can I get it done by the end of today?

Would appreciate a couple more days please! At least Christmas is a public holiday so I should be able to push through the rest of it by tonight.

Last day, guys! (Usual Glake rules about closure apply, though, the event doesn’t close until it’s stopped being the 31st everywhere)

Last few hours!
I thought I could use new year's holiday period to write more, but I didn't reckon with getting sick. At least it gave me the chance to read a few more fics!
