Friend/Ship Valentine's Day Exchange

[rusting-roses.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone! I know that Yuletide is just wrapping up, and I know that people are still recovering from the winter holidays, but I'm posting today to see who is interested in doing a Valentine's Day Friend/Ship Exchange! I hope there are lots of you out there who want to join me in celebrating the characters and relationships that we adore so much.

In the spirit of the Young Wizards books, this exchange isn't just to focus on a certain pairing—we want to celebrate the friendships and familial relationships that are so important in these books just as much as any romantic relationships that are present. As things stand now, we will open this comm on Monday the 9th for sign-ups and sign-ups will run until Friday the 13th. readingredhead and I will match everyone up over the weekend and send sign-ups out (hopefully) by Monday the 16th.

Instead of having the mods post the fics on the comm secretly, we're planning on allowing everyone to post to their own journal, so long as they are cross-posted here to let their recipient know that the fic is up. Unlike the previous challenge, there won't be assigned due dates; we just ask that these fics be posted sometime between Valentine's Day on February 14th and the last day of February (the 29th—yay leap years!). We're also planning on having a 1000 word minimum, as before.

Comments? Questions? Concerns? Feel free to just drop a comment; readingredhead or I will respond as quickly as we can. Check back on Monday to see a complete rules/faq/sign-up post. We hope to see lots of people join us for this exchange!
