And that's a wrap for signups! Expect to start hearing about your matchups in the next few days, I'll keep you updated on how that's progressing and announce when all pairings are complete.

(If you missed signups, there is a slim but not nonexistent chance that we might need to reopen so that we can get good matches for folks, so keep an eye out.)

[simonappreciation]

Starting today until Sunday we will be sending emails and letters to Warner Brothers and Max! Addresses and templates are provided; Let’s continue to show them how important Dead Boy Detectives is! Keep shouting!

Email addresses for easy access; support@wbd.com and support@max.com EMAIL AND MAIL TEMPLATES

USE YOUR VOICE! If you can't send emails or letters mention Warner Brothers and Max across all of your social media. Let's be LOUD for the next 4 days!

Signups will be closing tomorrow! It's been wonderful to see so many people interested so far, so this is your reminder that if you want to be involved but haven't yet signed up, now's the time!

You can sign up on AO3 here and you can find our FAQ here.

Once signups close, request-offer matching will begin, and you'll all find out what works you're making in the next week or so.

Note: the collection on AO3 lists a specific closing time, but signups will still be open until I manually close them. I'll announce when I do so, but before then you're free to sign up even if it looks like it's past the deadline.

Dead Boy Detectives Gift Exchange FAQ

Q: Who are you?

A: I'm @overlord-of-chaos, or elusive_ellipsis over on AO3, but you can call me Entity. This is a sideblog I set up for the gift exchange but I am equally DBDA-obsessed over on my main so feel free to go give me a follow there too!

Q: What is a gift exchange?

A: Basically, people put in requests and offers for different works (can be in any format eg. gifsets, artwork but it's assumed for this exchange that unless otherwise specified you're looking for fanfic) and get paired up. The offerer will produce the work requested by the requester and then it'll be added to the collection so everyone can see it.

Q: When will this gift exchange run?

A: Signups will open on 31st October, close on 14th November, then people will have until roughly February to produce their works.

Q: Who can see my requests/offers?

A: Me and any moderators on the collection. They also will be shared with the person you are paired with once you are paired. In the case that your request/offer doesn't have a match, it may be revealed publicly or to requesters/offerers who are unpaired for the sake of finding someone to match you to.

Q: Why are you doing this?

A: Because I love Dead Boy Detectives and I want to do something for the fandom! We have so many incredible creators and I hope this provides them with an opportunity to have some fun, I cannot wait to see what y'all create! (I will also be participating.) Also because @the-ipre suggested one and I was inspired.

Q: Why is it called a secret pumpkin on AO3?

A: Because it's like a secret santa, but it's not Christmas, it's Halloween? I am accepting better ideas should you wish to suggest them but for now I have made this choice and I must live with it.

Q: My question isn't answered here.

A: My ask box is open! Feel free to ask me whatever, I'm sure there's something I haven't thought of.
