Sign up dates and more!
Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience! We have had some changes with the Winterfest Gift Exchange due to the retirement of the core team of peksies at @winterfest-gift-exchange. They ran a great event that is responsible, at last count, for close to 20% of the fanworks posted on AO3 over the years, which is an incredible accomplishment. @whatevsbla and @alloysius-g have earned their peksie pensions so please congratulate them on their many years of dedicated service.
Myself, @gwenllian-in-the-abbey (you might recall I joined the previous team last year!) and @wolveshavenokings are re-launching Winterfest, and with new management comes a new blog! You might know the two of us from the Robin Hobb discord server, where @wolveshavenokings is the owner and I am one of the admins. In addition, we have @divine529 , @halcyonhowl and @dandelions-and-white-wolves on the Winterfest team! Although it is not required at the moment, we encourage you to join the discord server if you are interested in participating, as we will use it as a major tool for communication and coordination.
Due to the changes, our dates have been pushed back slightly this year. What follows is the revised timeline for the 2024 gift exchange (yeah, we're still calling it the 2024 gift exchange even though the gifts will be revealed when it is technically 2025).
Important Dates for 2024-25:
Sign ups: November 15th-December 1st
Sign ups close: December 1st at midnight EST
Matches sent with details of your giftee's request: December 15th
Check-in (your chance to tell us if you think you won't be able to finish: January 1st
Completion deadline: January 31st Gifter reveals: February 1st
Stay tuned to this blog for more details, tips, and FAQs

FitzChivalry Farseer - I love how Fitz always is ready for a fight, and he knows he’s gonna come out on top, if a bit battered. Even if the people around him are like “No Fitz” he still does it while they all facepalm in despair.

i have been joking with @tragediegh for some time about the word count on her (pun absolutely intended) beloved fic of cats and closed doors and that for many months i have had it on what i dubbed "Les Mis Watch" as i kept track of what classic novels she had outpaced in sheer number of words. well......
congrats my friend. you are now officially on "War and Peace Watch" instead

ROTE tarot cards- first six in a set I'm making. I don't really do tarot-y stuff myself but I saw what people had done in other fandoms ans my brain went "ooooh, pretty symbolism." Note that the Fool card features Fitz, because, well, he fits it better, and I have a feeling Beloved will be showing up on a lot of cards in the future if I continue making these. Individual cards below with better resolution
#these are so cool!#I love how intricate they are#really lovely job op :0#rote#realm of the elderlings

GUYS I really thought we were going ‘haha Fitz and The Fool are in love it’s implied the rhetoric’ but they are literally just regular style in love like it says it right there in the book. The only thing is Fitzchivalry has a (hahahaha) skill issue
#yeah when I started reading this series I was fully expecting like . a page or two or crumbs. but hobb really did all that#I haven’t even finished the series yet and like it’s absurd how much these characters are obsessed with each other and she still denys lol#anyways I love them so much they’re just goofy like that <333#rote#realm of the elderings#farseer triology#assassin's quest
