Purim Gifts 2024 fic exchange letter -

Generally, 

DNW anything to do with harry potter, or a tragedy, everyone dies, oppression sucks, and life is awful vibe. No intense bigotry or invalidating someone's identity. Nothing super nasty. Im mostly looking for lighthearted fluff, fun, mischief, and good feelings. Im not averse to tension, action, mystery, smut etc. as long as its overall upbeat and hopeful. Approximately kids media level villainy. Bonus points for queerness and or disability (If youre wondering what counts, whatever you think does. Im very inclusionist). Mostly looking for various celebrations of Purim or Jewishness.

Fandom specific vibes, for your perusal: Edit: Ran out of steam so do what you want. :) The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi Id love to see more of the Jewish boyfriend tbh, but also the whole crew is just fantastic.  A League of Their Own (TV 2022) There's just so much missed opportunity that the only canon Jew is Shirley. Shaw should be Jewish. Greta could be. Esti. They could have cute Jewish lesbian bonding over Shabbos candles or something. Getting everyone involved in a gift exchange. Going in drag to the gay bar. Finding a Megilla reading that doesnt coincide with a game. Anything with Bertie. Theres so much potential.  Alex Stern - Leigh Bardugo This one might be more angsty. I just desperately want more Alex and her relationship to her Judaism. Did it hurt to pawn that kiddish cup? What was her grandmothers house like, what food did it smell of? Does she sing herself Ladino lullabies? Does she observe in any way on her own? (Also that chai necklace burning up in hell — I have to know how the magic realism intersects with Jewishness). Something sweet with her friends or fellow Lethe people is cool too, maybe something to do with the artifacts in El Bastone. Cosmere - Brandon Sanderson Im thinking Mistborn might mesh best but honestly go wild. Stormlight is probably my favourite, Rysn and Chiri-Chiri, Navani and Raboniel, Shallan, the trans king from the walking island. Marasi and Steris my autistic blorbos. Maybe something weird with Kelsier. Critical Role (Web Series) Im thinking Jester and Nott and pastries and mischief. Im not super caught up on campaign 3 Im up to Bassuras, Ive seen most of two and a good bit of one and would prefer no major spoilers. There's no character that I really dont like (unless im supposed to dislike them TRENT IKITHON). “I hope you find someone to mourn you when you’re gone”. Woof.  Probably mighty nein are my favourite but I also have big feelings about Ashton and chronic pain, Percy, Vax, Vex, Kiki, Gilmore. Mollymauk. I hope this is useful information lol. 

Dead End: Paranormal Park (Cartoon) Supernatural elements please

Emelan - Tamora Pierce

Lady Astronaut of Mars series - Mary Robinette Kowal  Purim in spaaaaace

One Piece  Pirate Jews, or an island of Jews please. Pokemon Pokemon involved in mishloah manot please!

Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce Kel is just my favourite. The Strange Case of Starship Iris (Podcast) Brian Jeeter. Trans space Jew Brian Jeeter. The Locked Tomb pretty much anything tbh. This one also I expect a slightly higher angst level just by nature of the story. As long as there's also sweetness.

Tortall - Tamora Pierce 

Wayfarers Series - Becky Chambers  Jews on the human fleet. Ai Jews? lots of fun opportunities.

When the Angels Left the Old Country - Sacha Lamb 

Wiedźmin | The Witcher Series - Andrzej Sapkowski  / The Witcher (TV) Its Polish. Its vaguely medieval europe fantasy. There should be Jews. and Jewish food.

Important Purimgifts Announcement!

Hi everyone! I have an important announcement to make. While Signups Week will occur as planned, I will probably be undergoing surgery next week and so will be offline for - probably - at least three days (Mon-Wed). In my absence, my co-mod @ernasd will hold the fort, assistant by experienced participants who agreed to help out with exchange-related questions (@definitelynotscott and @autobot-scout-riella) as well as by @hhertzof, who will handle all things nominations and tags related. We will, of course, let you know if there will be any further changes.

Purimgifts: Creators now REVEALED!

This concludes Purimgifts for this year!

On behalf of the entire mod team (there were a total of 8 of us this year, most active behind the scenes or on discord), I hope you had a swell time, and I thank you - because it's y'all who make this party what it is!

I also have a request! If you enjoyed Purimgifts (this year or also in other years), we would super appreciate it if you gave us a brief quotable that we'll be able to use in next-year's promotional materials. Banners can't explain what make this little exchange special, and we would like to be able to communicate that. You can do that via reblog or sending us an ask, whatever's more comfortable to you - so long as it's clear what's the part that we can quote.

So once again - thank you, I hope you had a good time, and see you again next year!

Day 3 works and treats are now LIVE! The link above is for the treats.
