small_giftsSmall Gifts 2011 sign-ups begin today! We have one new element this year, a "wild card challenge"--check out the instructions below! We also want to limit the claiming period to 48 hours this year--please get in touch with your mods if you won't be around to claim that weekend and need to make other arrangements. Otherwise, we hope this year is as fun as the last five!
Follow these three easy steps to celebrate the end of the year with Remus, Sirius, and your friends:
1. SIGN UP BY LEAVING PROMPTS IN A COMMENT TO THIS POST
Schedule: sign-ups are open from Saturday, October 15, to Saturday, October 29
At any time during this two-week period, you can join the exchange by responding to this post with a comment containing the following information:
Name: Your lj user name plus a nickname or the name you'd like us to use for you
Age statement: One of the following: (1) "I am over 18 or over the legal age in my country" OR (2) "I am under 18 or the legal age in my country, and I will neither ask for nor read anything with a rating over R." No age statement, or a falsified age statement, and you're out. Coal in the stocking and all that.
Three wishes: Please give three prompts consisting of one word, one sentence, one quote, or one link to an image (no hotlinking!). For example: "first kiss," "warming hands by a fire," "umbrellas," "dawn on New Year's Day," "art for anything I've written," "a remix of anything I've written" "a story or art based on Splendid Wings (song by David Brown)," "cute MWPP-era icons"
Do not want to receive: List your squicks and pet peeves here: "songfic", "deathfic", "infidelity", etc. You can also note here if you have a preference for rating. Please be sure to note if you would not like to receive sexually explicit fic or art involving underage characters.
Am fond of: Insert your favourite things here: "sexually-confident!Remus", "Lying-low-at-Lupin's", etc. These are not prompts but a chance to tell your gift-maker a bit more about the types of things you like.
SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR: Wild card challenge: Throw in an optional challenge for your gift-giver--a theme or a character or an approach you don't see in Remus/Sirius fanworks very often. Remus telling Sirius he needs to relax and have fun. An alternate universe set in another time or another culture. A fic written as a fairy tale. Your gift-giver may not opt to take up the challenge--which is fine! It's optional!--but let's spark some new ideas with this request.
I am new to Small Gifts this year: Yes/No
* Remember, "small gifts" are small--stocking stuffers, more like it: short fic (1,000 to 3,000 words), art, icons, whatever people can give. It's the thought that counts!
* All kinds of fanworks are welcome: not just fic and art, but icons, mini-vids, crafts, etc. Please do not ask only for art or icons or crafts: in general, there are more writers than artists in the exchange.
* Please don’t suggest too much detail in your prompts, give a plot outline, or ask for a novel -- these are small gifts! If you're curious about what folks have requested in the past, check out last year's sign-up post.

2. COME BACK TO THIS POST TO CLAIM A RECIPIENT!
Claiming begins at 11:00 a.m. Eastern US time on Saturday, October 29. (Check out times in other parts of the world here.) Claiming closes after 48 hours. If you can't claim within 48 hours, please get in touch with your mods and arrange for a friend (or us) to claim for you.
Please claim by responding to the comment that contains the request that you want. (You can leave a line like "I claimmarysue's request #2"). One claimant per participant, please. Everyone creates one gift, everyone receives one gift, and we would like everyone to get something! Claiming operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so drop by as soon as you can to claim the prompts you liked.
If you finish and submit your first small gift, you are more than welcome to come back and claim again--we usually have a celebratory bonus round at the very end of the fest with second gifts.
3. TURN IN YOUR SMALL GIFT!
Due date: Monday, November 28
Please submit your work (BETA'D if a fic) as a post to this community. (You'll need to join, if you've not already). It will go into the moderation queue, and, depending on the number of participants, we'll reveal a gift every day until the end of the year.
THEN SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE GIFTS!
Posting begins on Thursday, December 1
Celebrate the season of lights, the solstice, birth and new beginnings, the promise of renewal. Snow and cheery fires, tinsel and mistletoe. (Or blue skies and sunshine, for some of us.) Draw up a chair by that fire, settle in, and read....
Happy, happy holidays all around!

I am new to Small Gifts this year: Nope!

2. Something about being queer in the wizarding world that doesn't take the completely homophobic approach - I'm sure it wasn't a bastion of tolerance and wonder in the 70s, but maybe the rules are different than they are in the Muggle world, and maybe people of Remus and Sirius's generation feel differently than their parents did, etc.

Three wishes:
Uno: S/R go Christmas shopping in John Lewis/department store of your choice - to find a present for Sirius's cousin Bellatrix/other awful family member. Can be Non-Magic or Magic, but preferably AU.
Two: Christmas panto - it's nearly opening night and Remus, the Prince, still doesn't get on with Sirius, the Dame. Non-Magic AU.
Trois: An Order member, or members, host a fancy dress party - Sirius agrees to go as Remus, if Remus will go as him. Magic and can be AU or canon, up to you.
Do not want to receive: Hardcore kinks like scat and vomit; Master/Slave relationships; major character-death, major adultery/infidelity (that goes for J/L, too); first person POV; Peter-bashing; weak/girly/shy and retiring Remus; abused!Sirius; nicknames (Siri and Rem must not happen); post-Azkaban/Lie Low/OotP eras; general clichés. However, my prompts don't really lend themselves to these things anyway! Oh, and no vids.
Am fond of: Everything else! But especially angsty misunderstandings; cold weather; colds and flu; wrapping up warm; both characters as smokers and drinkers; hovel-like living standards; a Remus who is more like James and Sirius than you usually see; pre-Azkaban/first war era, though I don't mind MWPP; wonky teeth and little, cute defects; general fluff, romance and humour with a bit of angst (which can or can not be resolved, I don't mind); good Brit-pick and no overuse of "mate" and similar! I also love art!!
Wild card challenge: Ummm ... a Remus who hates cleaning and is a total slob/like Sirius in most other fic? I'd actually love that.
I am new to Small Gifts this year: Yes!

Am fond of: happy endings (everything else, I trust in the writer/artist!)

Three wishes:
1, Sirius can't spend Christmas with Remus in the castle, but he makes sure to be there in spirit a la 'Twelve Days of Christmas'. (The more bizarre the gifts, the better!)
2, The boys read The Christmas Carol, but Remus thinks Dickens is too gloomy for the holidays.
3, Cold noses.
Do not want to receive: Angst, infidelity, unhappy endings and (because it's Christmas and I want to be as happy as I could) prior engagement with anyone else. I know it's pretty hard to believe they love only each other in their lifetimes, but heck.
Am fond of: Happy stuff, grotty boys, explosions, glitter, gappy teeth, freckles, singed eyelashes, failed pranks.
Wild card challenge: From someone else's POV. ie McGonagall or Nearly Headless Nick.
I am new to Small Gifts this year: Not really. :>

oldover 18.Three wishes:
1. Art to illustrate this crossover (http://ballyharnon.livejournal.com/137854.html)--I would be especially thrilled to see, for instance, Remus sitting in a leather armchair in a library with Delirium sitting on his lap and playing with his hair. Or even an illustration of something that actually happens in that fic, lol.
2. Something where they use arch language and refer to each other as Mister Padfoot and Mister Moony, in dialogue or in letters.
3. Some sort of smut.
Do not want to receive:
fanmixes (because I have terrible taste in music), either of them really far to one side of the dominance/submissive scale sort of squicks me for some reason, along with common squicks like snuff, scat, necrophilia. Also, I meant to say, I'm not christian, so this is midwinter-happy-paganish-festival-gifts fest for me instead. xD
Am fond of:
Werewolf lore and werewolf-related plots, Fenrir Greyback, etc.; Sirius, especially young!Sirius, as pushy bottom (with bonus points for a collar); Sirius' bike; fumbling young boys, grown men acting like fumbling young boys; post-hogwarts-pre-azkaban era, especially first war angst; Remus with Padfoot (or Sirius with Moony though that's harder to engineer); portrayals that turn a common trope like slutty!Sirius or chocoholic!Remus on its head; porn, kinky porn; cigarettes (oral fixation much?), drinking, and most drugs (classy-to-middling ones anyhow); marauder-era adventures with preference to 'solving mysteries and shit' rather than pranking; meta jokes with preference to subtlety.
Wild card challenge:
Write or draw fanfic or fanart about the Remus and Sirius in A Very Potter Sequel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OepW-AG-Ris&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SP86C718AEE71C9DE9)--I am particularly fond of casually-profane!american!Lupin.
I am new to Small Gifts this year: Yes, and I'm excited! ^^
