Hello everyone and Happy Julie Day! I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in holding another advent calendar this year, especially since last year's was so fun (link to last year's here) or if we have the time for it and if we plan ahead enough, maybe we can do a fic exchange? What do you think? Would love to know your thoughts!

Yes!Yes! It has been such fun before!
I'm sure I can provide some new photos of our favourite friends if needed.

I would be interested! The Advent calendar is a good bet as not everyone here writes... but I remember the one year we did a fic exchange and I think it inspired a lot of us to foray into fanfic writing. I'd be good with either option.

For once in a long time, even if it isn't Christmas-themed, I know what I want to write for this, even if I have to pause my newest piece!

Oh my, I'm so happy to see so many people on board! Gosh, I'm really excited to see what everyone has in store for this year <3 I'm in and happy to help! As long as someone else is in charge. would that be you itsdayandnight ? Hi augiesannie! I'll do my best to organize! Eek, also since we have around 7 (?) participants so far, we can probably wait for some others to join, then I'll probably be sending out the finalized assigned dates and the deadline by mid-November. Again, I'm really excited for this!

Call me clueless, but how exactly does a fic exchange and an advent calendar for fanfics work? I'm new-ish to the concept.

Call me clueless, but how exactly does a fic exchange and an advent calendar for fanfics work? I'm new-ish to the concept. Eek, it's alright! I had to do some digging to understand both too :') As far as I've gathered, the fic exchange is sort of like an exchange gift -- each one is given the name of a person, and one writes a fic (and gifts it) to the person they're assigned to! The advent calendar, on the other hand, is a countdown to Christmas. Submissions will be compiled (I'm not quite sure I'm using the right word here), and each one will be released on a specific day before Christmas! I don't know if it helps but I hope it does<3

Hi indigoblue That would be lovely, oh my. I'm so excited to see which pictures you have chosen! Hi augiesannie ! I've added you to the count! But admittedly, I haven't started organizing yet, nor have I sent out anything (and I shall do that when I can) but deadline would be just like last year's -- December 10th. We'll make adjustments when necessary, but that would be the deadline for now!

I'd like to try the gift exchange, but not the advent calendar. What is the deadline for the exchange?

I'll just go ahead and plug this again! If anyone still wants to join, just reply to this thread or send me a message! Any submission will do (and it doesn't need to be Christmassy), as long as you submit by December 10th

Hello everyone! So, this is the moment we've been waiting for! Here is the link to this year's advent calendar: calendar.myadvent.net/?id=f71064bf08bb367d8b452854ca2eb761The doors to each day will be opening at midnight, your local time. The first door will open on December 13th. Thank you for all your lovely contributions -- I feel so smug for being able to see them before anyone else does, but really, it just means I get to cry before everyone else does. Also, for all who have submitted fics, you may post your fic on your platform of choice (FF dot net, AO3, etc.) two days after your submission has been shown. Anyways, I am so excited for everyone to see the advent calendar! Enjoy!

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Chris! I hope you're up there enjoying a French 75 (or two or three! They are so good, so why not!!!). I learned about French 75's in Chris' book - even followed his suggestion to use Cognac instead of Gin...and OH!, what a suggestion. It's a great way to stretch your New Year's bubbly (or drink any time): cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014443-french-75
