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!).
