So here’s the link to the application form for potential contributors. Filling in the form isn’t a solid commitment, but you’ll be put on the mailing list for updates about format, requirements, how to submit, due dates, etc. 

If you’re on the fence but you think you might like to participate, go ahead and fill in the form so that you’ll have the information.

Tentative submission deadline is Jan. 31, 2020, but we’ll see if people think they need more time.

So, sign up! Reblog! Follow this tumblr! If you know SV fans on other sites like Instagram or Twitter, please share the link with them!

Silicon Valley fanzine

Just gauging interest here: would people like to contribute work to a fanzine? I know the holiday exchange is happening so it absolutely wouldn’t have to be new material (unless you wanted to make some, of course), but I thought that as the show’s ended it would be cool to have a collection of the fandom’s greatest hits.

So:

- art - meta/essays - fic - other stuff??

I’ll throw up a google forms application if people are interested!

[svexchange2k18]

News!

1. I’m extending the sign-up deadline! You now have until Friday 6 December to sign up! It was originally today (2 December) but given that 1) the participant list so far is relatively short, 2) i realised i don’t actually need a whole darn week to match everyone up before sending out assignments, 3) i haven’t been promoting this nearly as obnoxiously as i could’ve so i want to spread the word more so anyone who wants to participate has the chance to … thought I’d change that.

2. More people who wish to receive/create Dinesh/Gilfoyle content are especially welcome! The dinfoyle faction is currently a little underrepresented :) (This is NOT to say that you shouldn’t sign up if you aren’t interested in dinfoyle. Please, feel free to sign up with any ship that’s on the nomination list <3)

3. A note about sharing, please do feel free to reblog/share any posts I make on this blog including to any friends who aren’t on Tumblr but you think would be interested in joining the exchange : )

[svexchange2k18]

Sign-ups are open!

You have until the end of 2 December 2019 (Pacific Time / UTC -8:00) to sign up. Please read the following carefully. I know it’s long; forgive me. I’m only being as thorough as Jared Dunn would want me to be.

By signing up to participate in this exchange, you agree to the following:

To keep the secrecy of the exchange, you will not reveal what you asked for as a gift, or the identity of the person you are creating a gift for.

You will try your best to create a gift that matches at least one of your assigned recipient’s prompts/suggestions, and you will try your best to avoid any of their content weaknesses.

You must not include anything from your assigned recipient’s content limits in your gift.

You will put a reasonable amount of time and effort into creating your gift.

If you are unable to complete your assignment by 12 January 2020, you must tell me as soon as possible via email (svwinterexchange2k19@gmail.com) so I have time to make pinch hitter arrangements.

If you have any problems with your assignment, you will send me an email and we can discuss; please do not contact your recipient directly, as this is a secret exchange.

How to sign up

Copy-paste the form below and email it to svwinterexchange2k19@gmail.com. Do NOT submit in any other way (e.g. Tumblr ask, blog post, etc.)

The sign-up form

All ships that you list in your preferences must be from the nomination list.

All fields are mandatory. If any of these don’t apply to you (e.g. you don’t have any content preferences or content limits) please write ‘N/A’ or ‘no preference’ etc.

‘In order of preference’ means in descending order, i.e. your first choice first, followed by your second choice, then your third, etc.

Email address: This must be a valid email address that you are able to access regularly, as it will be used for all exchange communication.

Name: How you want to be identified on the list of exchange participants that will be published on this blog when sign-ups close. This can be whatever name you want.

Tumblr URL: If you don’t have a Tumblr URL, never mind; you don’t need to have a Tumblr to participate in the exchange.

Any accounts you want to be linked to your name on the participant list: e.g. your Tumblr URL, AO3 username link, Instagram, Pixiv, etc. If you don’t list any, I will publish only your name with no linked accounts.

Are you age 18 or over?

Recipient preferences AKA what you want to receive as a gift. This section will be shared with your assigned gift creator.

First choice of ship:

Second choice of ship:

Additional ships:

Do you have rating preferences out of the following: general (no age restriction); teen and up; mature; explicit? If so, please list in order of preference. You can list different ratings for different gift types if you like (e.g. no preference art, but prefer mature/explicit fic).

Content preferences: Any kind of broad genre/mood you have a preference for, e.g. hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, fluff, comedy, etc.

Prompts/suggestions: Give a description of any prompts for the type of gift you want to receive. This can be tropes, settings, situations, plot ideas, anything really (e.g. fake dating trope, college AU). You can list as many prompts as you like (please list them in preference order if you have a preference) but please note that prompts are just suggestions. Your gift creator will try their best to follow something from your list but there is no 100% guarantee (e.g. if they feel they don’t have the ability to fulfil exactly what you ask for). You are, however, guaranteed to get a gift of your favourite ship.

Content weaknesses: Please list all characters/ships that you prefer NOT to receive in your gift. There’s no 100% guarantee that you won’t receive assignment with these characters, but the admin will do their best to avoid assigning you these. If you don’t have list anything here, you may be matched up with any ship in the nomination list.

Content limits: Please list any kind of content that is a hard limit for you, e.g. certain themes, squicks, or potential triggers. Your assigned gift creator will make sure not to include these in your gift.

Anything else you want to share with your gift creator?

Creator preferences AKA what you want to create as a gift for someone else

What kind of content are you able to create out of the following: fanfiction; fan art; graphics (gifs, edits, manips, etc); fan videos?

Do you have rating preferences out of the following: general (no age restriction); teen and up; mature; explicit? If so, please list in order of preference. You can list different ratings for different gift types if you like (e.g. no preference art, but prefer mature/explicit fic).

Content preferences: Any kind of content you prefer creating (ship, type of content [art/fic/etc.], genre, mood, etc.)

Content weaknesses: Please list all characters/ships that you prefer NOT to create content for. There’s no 100% guarantee that you won’t receive an assignment with these characters, but the admin will do their best to avoid assigning you these. If you don’t have list anything here, you may be matched up with any ship in the nomination list.

Content limits: Please list any kind of content that is a hard limit for you, e.g. certain themes, squicks, or potential triggers. The admin will make sure you don’t get assigned any of these.

Is there anyone that you’re uncomfortable being matched with? If for whatever reason you’re not comfortable either receiving content from a particular person, or creating content for them, I’ll make sure not to pair you with them.

Do you want to do more than one exchange? If so, how many? If you decide to do two exchanges instead of one, for example, you will create two gifts and receive two gifts.

Are you willing to be a pinch hitter? Pinch hitters are people who create gifts for recipients in the event that their original gift giver can’t complete their assignment. Please note: you will not receive a gift in return.

Do you want your recipient preferences to be made public (your name won’t be included) so people who aren’t your assigned gift giver / aren’t part of the exchange can create gifts for you if they like? These are called ‘treats’, and can be anything from a 100 word drabble or quick sketch, to something more complex. (Note: as a participant in the exchange, there is no obligation to make treats, or anything else other than your assigned gift. It’s just a nice thing you can do if you want to and have the time to :))

Anything else you want to share with the exchange admin?

That’s it!

If you have any questions, feel free to message/ask me on this blog, or email svwinterexchange2k19@gmail.com

Nominations so far

Nomination form is here

Hello everyone! Ship/character nominations for the exchange close 15 November (Pacific Time -8:00 UTC). Thought I’d publish what’s been nominated so far:

Jared/Richard

Gilfoyle/Monica

Ed Chambers/Richard

Dinesh/Gilfoyle

Big Head/Jian-Yang

Dinesh/Gilfoyle/Monica

That’s it! Those are all the ships that have been nominated so far. So if you want to receive a gift in the exchange that features a ship not on this list, or if you want a non-ship/gen gift (AKA no romantic/sexual relationship), then please submit your desired ships/characters :)

[svexchange2k18]

for you from @shfzw this is insanely late but thank you for pinch-hitting in @svexchange2k18 !! you are so kind and talented and wholesome!

[svexchange2k18]

Nominations open!

Character/ship nominations for the exchange are open!

Here’s the nomination form.

You have until 15 November to submit ships and/or characters that you want to receive as gifts and/or are willing to create content for. When sign-ups open, you will only be able to request/offer ships and characters that are on the list.

This is to ensure that no participants who say they can create for any ships/characters will be taken be surprise by unexpected ships/characters such as rare pairs :) The nomination list also makes it easier for people to say they can create for (or are willing to receive) things like ‘any ship/character except for X and Y’ because they’ll know exactly what 'any’ might include.

Go go go! And if you have any questions feel free to contact me on this blog or by emailing svexchange2k19[at]gmail.com

GET HYPE

[svexchange2k18]

kind @retrauxpunk is gonna run this year’s exchange :) 

Silicon Valley Winter Exchange 2k19

…is a thing that’s gonna happen.

And I’m going to organise it this year! Because what’s the point in enjoying a show a normal, non-obsessive amount?

A big thank you to @shfzw for organising the previous year’s one and for fielding my various questions about it! She’s passed the torch to me and I’m gonna do my best not to burn this place down! Ha, that was a normal thing to say.

Anyway!!

If you’re interested in participating, please fill out this survey: https://forms.gle/x3XBKsFx16WUZUSU8

It’s not long, just a few questions to gauge interest / help me work out some ideas of how to run this thing :)

Extremely Basic FAQ that is just one question

Q: What is this and how does it work? A: You sign up and provide a wish list of a couple options of gifts that you’d like (e.g. ‘a drawing of X character’, ‘a fic with X/Y ship that involves Z thing’, etc.). You then get matched with a ~*mystery person*~ who will create that gift for you. You also get assigned to a gift to create for someone else. Identities are kept secret until all the gifts are completed/submitted, then they’re revealed. It’s basically a big Secret Santa.

Here’s some links to previous sv fandom gift exchanges if you want an idea of how this has worked in the past: @svexchange2k18 @svhboexchange @thepiedpiperofdecemberween

[svexchange2k18]

To The Participants

hi if you read/see your gifts pls leave a comment or send a thank you message to your match🙌

be respectful even if you don't like it and appreciate that your match spent so much time for writing/drawing for you!

if you see the tags of the gifts and there are squicks you forgot to mention, I can send a google doc replacing the description of the part to a brief explanation what's going on like [something v kinky happens etc] so pls ask away :)
