Animorphs Gift Exchange

[frenchroast.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the First Animorphs Gift Exchange!

Do you write fanfic or create fanart? Do you like Animorphs? Then this is the exchange for you!

Everyone will give one gift, be it fanfic or fanart, that fits with one of three prompt words chosen by the recipient. Everyone will receive one gift, be it fanfic or fanart that fits with one of 3 prompt words they choose. Pairings and other details may be suggested, but givers are not required to adhere to requests beyond the prompts. The only guarantee participants get is that their gift will focus on one of their chosen prompts, though every effort will be made to ensure that everyone will be pleased with their gift.

Rules:

1) All work created for this exchange must be new, Animorphs-centric, and created with your recipient in mind, using one of the 3 prompt words chosen by your recipient. You may use 2 or all of the prompt words if you wish, but are only required to use one of them.
2) None of the work created may be posted anywhere until your posting day. Please do not reveal who your recipient is until then!
3) If you sign up for the exchange and DO NOT complete your assignment, you CANNOT participate next time around. If you find you will be unable to complete your assignment, PM me immediately so an alternate giver can be found.
4) Again, givers are only required to create a gift that fits with one of the prompts requested by the recipient; givers are not bound by other requests by the receiver. It is up to the giver to decide whether to gift fanfic or fanart.
5) Alternate Universes and/or Crossovers are allowed IF requested by the recipient, but not otherwise.
6)FanFic: 500 words minimum (may be divided into more than one story/multiple drabbles)
   FanArt: 5 icons minimum, OR 1 detailed drawing/sketch/wallpaper

Name/LJ: Susan / susako
I Can Create:
Fic only, gen/pg13 preferred although can possibly go higher for an F/F or F/M pairing. Willing to write Rachel/Marco, Rachel/Tobias, Rachel/Cassie, anything friendship-based between any of the 6 Animorphs. I'm not good at aliens (except maybe Ax).

For the gift I would like to receive:
Fic/Art: bro-friendship between Tobias and Ax, anything that deals with the Animorphs as they were before they received their powers, Rachel/Tobias, Marco/Rachel, gen/humour, anything introspective or angsty, anything that explores them trying to be normal (and/or failing) whether that's funny or sad. Art: Icons, fanmixes, wallpapers (1280 x 1024).

For the gift I receive I would NOT like to see:
Fic: Violence/gore, anything NC-17 that doesn't fit with my preferred pairings. Anything else is fair game, really.
Art: As above per fic. No banners or tumblr graphics.

3 prompt words: Sea, Secret, Kindness

Would you be willing to create an extra gift if someone fails to complete their assigned gift? Yes
