Animorphs Gift Exchange! (Sign-ups start now!)

[frenchroast.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the 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 (the more info you give in your sign-up as to your preferences both for giving and getting, the better we'll be able to match you).

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! Gifts should be posted to this community (links to AO3, LJ, or Tumblr also okay, but you must post your link with title/rating/recipient). A template will be posted in October to make this easier for anyone new to the exchange.
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 frenchroast 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) Other-fandom-specific Alternate Universes and/or Crossovers are allowed IF requested by the recipient, but not otherwise.
6)FanFic: 1000 words minimum (may be divided into more than one story/multiple drabbles, but must be complete)
   FanArt: 20 icons minimum, OR 1 detailed drawing/sketch/wallpaper/gif set

I Can Create Fic of any rating, humor, smut and angst are my specialties. Jake and Marco are my favorite to write, Cassie I feel like I can write well I just don't usually write her. The only crossover I've thought a lot about for Animorphs is Avengers so everything else is out besides possibly Teen Wolf. No AUs for Animorphs. The only couple-specific fic I would write would be Jake/Marco or Jake and Marco as platonic friends.


For the gift I receive I would love/hate to see I want allllll the post-war Jake/Marco fic. Smutty, fluffy, angsty, just so much post-war Jake/Marco. Or Jake and Marco not in a relationship but still an in depth study of how they handled their life after the war. Absolutely no Ax/Marco not even a hint of it, I don't have many squicks but Human/Alien relationships is very high up there. I also don't enjoy Cassie as a character so not a lot with her.
--Please give a response for both categories—remember, your giver chooses whether you get fic or art!
Fic: Any rating, any genre, any kink unless it involves bodily harm or children.
Art: I would love art of younger Jake and Marco just hanging out before the war. Other than that pretty much anything goes besides anything I ruled out above.

Your 3 Prompt Words:
1)Change
2)Hope
3)Trust

Would you be willing to create an extra gift if someone fails to complete their assigned gift? Yes/No/Maybe

We only had two applicants, so you are being assigned to joking. You can find joking's entry below this comment!

Since we only have two applicants, I'm going to go ahead and just say that if you want to post your fic early, that's okay. But please do post your fic by November 1st.

I Can Create --

Fic: I love gen, and I'll write any ship except the canon ones (Cassie/Jake, Rachel/Tobias, Elfangor/Loren). I love crossovers and AUs, but fluff does not come easily to me. I love the main six but I also like writing about minor characters like Aftran and Mr. Tidwell.

For the gift I receive I would love/hate to see --

Fic: I love the team dynamic of the main six, so I like any fic about the group as a whole, whether gen or OT6. Marco and his family feels are personal favorites. And I love any kind of AU where Aftran doesn't go off to be a whale forever. Any rating is OK.
Art: I would love to see art of a minor character! Alloran, Loren, Tidwell, Guide the Iskoort, take your pick! Or any kind of textless icon would be great.

Your 3 Prompt Words:
1) illusion
2) cage
3) vulnerable

Would you be willing to create an extra gift if someone fails to complete their assigned gift? No
