Christmas Stocking Stuffer

in short: a chance to give itty bitty gifts to fannish people when you don't really have it in you to do a whole novel.
what to do: leave your mini-wish-list in the post. Then check the other posts for people who like the pairings/characters/stories you like, and write them a little something!

Over the years, I've met a lot of people who don't have time to write, or feel they don't have any ability, or can't write longer stories. Well, this is a chance to write something small and sweet - something cute and tasty to give someone else for a change. Plus, it's always nice to give and not just receive. I've found someone who's got an interest in some aspects I don't usually write as well as a few people who've got interests in areas I do, and I'm thinking of writing little stocking-stuffers for them. I'm hoping that someone else will do the same for me.

So, if you've always wanted to give something back, go put down your wishlist and go find the wishlist of someone you can write for.

My wishlist.

Where's yours?

I've already written one for someone I don't know and that makes me happy :) I'm making a list of everyone who's in a fandom I could even manage a drabble in and I'll see how many I can write.

i really would like to write something for you based off of one of your stories is that alright, i don't know how good it will be, but it's the thought that counts, right.

Yes, you may use something based off one of my stories. More than a few of my stories are based off other people's stories, and rejigged or reframed.

It's part of writing: finding new ways to tell an old story.

I'm participating and kind of excited about writing drabbles, I am not good with the longer stuff. I'll post a link to my entry once they are up :)

[tielan]

Cool. :)

Wait, I thought the point was that you post them, but you don't tell people what you're posting until the 'reveal'.

I'm not sure I get what you mean... I participated last year and everyone gets an entry to the main community and people can then comment with stories/icons/etc. and those are then revealed in January.

How do you connect which comment was made by which person?

[ryf.livejournal.com]

Because the comments are just screened, so when they are unscreened it's like a normal comment with the username attached.

Ohhh. I get it now.
