Three Days Until Dawn by Chapscher

Once every fifty years Shane has three days to live as a human before the curse he is under changes him back into a ghostlike spirit. Shane devotes his time to figuring out his own mystery: who cursed him, why, and, most importantly, how he can finally break free. It just so happens that this year he has a visitor with him in the old house - a man who also is searching for answers to unsolved mysteries.

Welcome to the 2020 edition of the Shyan Valentine’s Exchange brought to you by shyanwritingevents, hosted by @sequencefairy. This will be the first event of 2020, so let’s get it off to a roaring start!

~ What is the Shyan Valentine’s Exchange?

The Shyan Valentine’s exchange will be run as an anonymous exchange, meaning that folks will sign up to write, create art or otherwise, and will receive something in exchange, but the creators will remain anonymous until posting time!

Are you interested? Keep reading under the cut!

~ Event Rules

By signing up, you are committing to write an original, fully completed story that is no less than 1k words, or an original and finished fanart that is fully colored (grayscale counts), or a gifset comprised of 3 gifs or more, or graphics/edits (including posters), or a fanmix or fanvideo (fully completed, no less than 1 minute).

This event is for works written in English. Anyone from any part of the world can enter, but English is necessary.  Fanfics must be reasonably edited and readable.

You are expected to leave a comment on the gift YOU receive.

Works should be focused on the Ry*n Berg*r*/Sh*ne Mad*j (shyan) romantic pairing. You can include other side pairings or even other relationships involving them, but the end result of your work should be driven by Shyan.

Please do not write things that your giftee has explicitly indicated they are not comfortable with receiving. If you need more details from your giftee, reach out to us and we’ll help facilitate the conversation.

Your work must be complete. Works in progress are not acceptable. Multi-chapter fics must be complete on posting day.

You must remain anonymous to your recipient until you post your gift. 

If you sign-up and have to drop out, you need to contact the mods no later than two weeks before the deadline.

There will be a mandatory check in on February 1st to confirm that your gift is in progress. If you do not respond to this check in, you will be considered to have dropped out of the event and a pinch-hitter will be assigned to your giftee.

Works including rape/non-con/torture-porn/underage are not allowed as part of this event! This is not a ban on dark material. You may address related themes in your works, but graphic scenes should be avoided. But material of the kind between the couple will not be allowed. Keep this in mind when making your requests, too.

This an event to have fun, please be kind to each other and there will be a zero tolerance for any kind of shenanigans including ship and character bashing as well as discouraging folks from writing and/or requesting their particular preferred characterizations and tropes.

There is no minimum age requirement to participate in this exchange. However, if you are under the age of 18, please do not request or create explicit content.

~ Rules for Posting

Fanfics must be posted on AO3 with the tag Shyan Valentines Exchange 2020. You can crosspost to Tumblr, Wattpad, etc but it must be on AO3 as well. That will be our archive.

When posting on Tumblr, please tag it as #shyanvalentines2020 in the first five tags of your post and feel free to mention the blog! Please do not tag the name of the show or the boys’ full names. Suggested tags for fanfics: shyanvalentines2020, shyan, skeptic believer, buzzfeed unclean (for explicit works), shyanwritingevents, shyan fic (for fanfics).

The work must be reasonably edited and readable if fanfic. That means we are not beta’ing, the way you post it is the way it goes out to the fandom!

When posting graphics and edits, if it’s explicit shipping stuff, please DON’T tag the boys’ names or the shows name, or edit tags. Use shyan, skeptic believer, shyanedit. Same for fanvideos and fanmixes. Fanart can also be tagged under shyan art or shyan fanart. You can also tag us: shyanwritingevents! Remember to use #shyanvalentines2020 in the first five tags of your work!

Always a good idea to tag the person for whom the gift was created as well!

Got any questions? Ask away!
