FFVIII Yuletide Exchange!
I am very happy to announce a 2024 Yuletide Exchange for FFVIII!
This is the first exchange I'm coordinating, so please bear with me, and if there's something weird feel free to tell me!
Now, onto the main event!
The Rules
Rules are very straightforward, so please make sure to read them before joining:
You'll need to sign up using the form linked below.
During sign-up, you will be asked what you'd like to receive and what you're willing to give.
1 request = 1 gift to give, so please don't sign up multiple times if you're not willing to draw/write multiple gifts.
Your requests will then be paired with a matching creator.
You won't know who's your "Secret Santa" until your gift will be posted.
It is very important to follow the guidelines provided. Make sure to include what was asked for and avoid the "do not want" specified, to ensure a nice experience for everyone.
Of course, no character bashing unless it's explicitly asked for!
The Phases
There are a few phases to ensure everything will run smoothly. These are:
Phase 1, September 8th - September 15th: sign-up phase. Everyone can join! That means you can sign up even if you never took part in FFVIII Character Weeks or never requested a bingo card at @ffviiibingo. You can send multiple forms, but every request means one gift to give, so make sure to be ready for that.
Phase 2, September 16th - September 22nd: matching phase! Every request will be paired with a creator, who will be contacted with the info provided during sign-up.
Phase 3, September 23rd - January 15th: creation phase! You can start working on your gift, and if you need extra motivation, there's always our Discord server, with its brand new Yuletide Exchange channel.
Phase 4, January 16th - January 31st: posting phase! You can finally post your work. Make sure to tag the person you're gifting the work to (or use the gift feature on AO3 if you're publishing fanfiction!).
The Sign-Up Form
So, wanna sign up?
Fill out the form!

fic: turned away from it all like a blind man. (seifer, ffviii)
They say you can never go back home-- but sometimes, it feels like you've never left. Seifer, time compression and afterward, inspired by Bowie's "Under Pressure." Gift for @savaereardon.

Five Lines Tag
Thanks for tagging me, @angelosearch!
rules: find five lines based on the prompts you are given, then change one of the prompts at the end!
A line about butts
Angel
“Oh, shit!” Zell leapt backwards at the sight before him: Squall and Rinoa, hands wrapped tightly around each other’s backsides, lips locked together like they’d been glued that way. They immediately unglued their lips with a sound like the pop of a cork, then stared blankly at Zell.
A sad line
They Are My Family
Laguna couldn’t let himself imagine what his poor little Elle was going through. He often did, anyway. Was she scared? Was she lonely? She hadn’t figured out how to get the buttons on her dress yet – was there anyone there to help her with her buttons? His stomach lurched. He had been trying to teach her how to get the buttons.
A furious line
Time Will Tell, Chapter 12 (unpublished)
Squall remembered why he was angry. “I’m not just talking about that!” he raged, throwing his hand to wave Cid’s poor excuses away. “I’m talking about all of it! You never let me have a life of my own! You never let me have a single choice in what I did! All you knew was my one purpose. You could have let me have a life!”
A line describing scenery
Time Will Tell, Chapter 1 (unpublished)
The beach stretched out, gorgeous and empty in the midday sunshine. It matched the perfect serenity of Balamb: gently lapping waves, the overhead sun glinting like glitter upon each little crest, the salty air carried on the lightest breeze.
A fun line
Angel
“Oh, and we have hats!” Selphie said, grabbing the stack of pointy paper monstrosities from the desk. “Not wearing that,” Squall monotoned, making Selphie cackle as she catapulted herself at him once more, securing the purple hat to his head.
This was so fun! I loved getting a chance to comb through my stuff and find some of my favorite lines that I’ve written. (Also I searched through every single work and I haven't used the word "butt" once?! Surprised at myself and I guess I'm going to have to make up for that.)
Tagging whoever wants to play!
your lines to search for are!
A Line About Butts
A Sad Line
A Furious Line
A Line About Food
A Fun Line

Chapter 39: Epilogue
That's it. It's done. My largest project to date. 🥲I have a lot of reflecting to do but for tonight, I think I am just going to bask in the weirdness of knowing this project is over.

She giggles, and he tries to smirk too. He swirls his beer into the bottle, feigning indifference, and then he drowns a sigh in a sip. “So, it’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Same old,” she smiles, and it’s so soul-crushing because he feels she never quite smiled like that when they were together. Freedom makes her happy in a way he never could, and it’s bittersweet to realize that letting her go has probably been the one true act of love he did for her. Made her more complete, while he has been just a hollow shell, pretty on the outside for those who looked, but empty on the inside.
From Nothing but dawn
This week’s word is…
✨ OUTSIDE ✨
Find it in any WIP and share the sentence containing it! Reply, reblog, stick it in the tags, tag us in a new post, or keep it private. All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome.

It's Ellone as she appears in my fic, Origin Reclamation, which is a retelling novel of Final Fantasy VIII. Her name is actually Ellone Tycoon in this fic, and she is as mysterious as ever. Art is NOT done by me, but by my very good and amazing friend, @auroralynne, who always does a wonderful job <3

Time Will Tell Writing Update
My friends! And by that I mean, to the four wonderful people who read Time Will Tell!
I have indeed fallen behind on my posting. Probably no one is surprised, least of all me, but the good news is that so much of this story is very very close to being posted - it just needs a final polish. Truthfully, I thought chapter 16 was going to go up on Thursday, but I still haven't had a ton of time to really sit with it and bring it to the level I really want.
Most of my time has been spent handcrafting decorations for my kid's birthday party and recovering from said party (I am a chronically ill Selphie apparently). And now with Halloween this week I am quite busy handmaking costumes for me, my husband, and our two kids. And our dog. Oh, and handcrafting decorations for my other kid's school Halloween party. I am insane. I love it. And like, I have to work on top of it, so there's that.
I guess this is a big ol' accountability post! If you are a silent reader out there, I would ADORE to hear from you. Your kudos, comments, and frankly whatever interaction you give is highly motivating, and likely to spur me to open up my Google Docs instead of Stardew Valley (which I am overly wont to do these days).
(Also if you're wondering about that, I am still going for Elliott, but Harveyyyyy I miss youuuuuuu 🥺 I may need another save file to get my nerdy doctor after all.)

Summary:
Angelo and Squall meet and get off on the wrong foot… feet… paws. But not even Squall knows the right ST-Def junction to make him immune to the antics of a dog.
A fluffy fic from Angelo's POV about how she became friends with Squall over the course of FFVIII. This might have accidentally kicked off a series of Angelo fics...
Thanks @silalcarin for inspiring this one! And of course, thanks to dogs. I am nothing if not a dog person.

We now present... the team competition!
Well, now that all users have received their cards - and maybe someone has even started working on it! - I want to present another little idea to add some more fun on the bingo cards!
And this is...
The Team Competition!
Users have been randomly assigned to a "team". The two teams are:
Island Closest To Heaven
@angelosearch (1 card requested)
@cynic-view-ahead (1 card requested)
@antidiluvianobservatory (1 card requested)
@summonerluna (1 card requested)
@aleheartilly (2 cards requested) Total: 6 cards
Island Closest To Hell
@wickedlittlewordsmith (3 cards requested)
@gardengalwrites (2 cards requested)
@rowrowmyboat (1 card requested) Total: 6 cards
The Rules
Every fanwork will grant points to the team assigned to the users. Points will be distributed following these criteria:
The team will gain 1 point per word for fanfictions. This will be considered the base score. AO3 word count will be used as reference.
Other fanworks such as fanvideos, fanarts, comics, music and so on will grant a fixed base score: 5000.
Using the challenge word will grant an additional point haul, consisting of the base score multiplied by 0,5 for each challenge word used.
A monthly summary of points gained by the teams will be published as soon as the submission form opens, with a breakdown of the points gained by each team.
Here's an example: User publishes a 4529 words story using 1 challenge word. Base score: 4529 Additional point haul: 2264,50 Total points gained: 6793,50
Wait, so what do we win?
Well... nothing! Except for some lovely graphics that @pinnadraws will prepare for the winning team and all the users who can complete their cards.
And some harmless fun, which is a win in and for itself.
So now GO HAVE FUN AND MAKE YOU TEAM PROUD 👊 🏆 ⚔️
