Sign-ups for the 11th annual Dokuga Holiday Exchange are officially open!

Quick recap: The holiday exchange is a secret Santa with stories and art being gifted. We have been running this exchange since 2008! All the information you need can be found here: Sign up guidelines

Please follow the directions listed here to sign up. The exchange email is dokugaexchange@gmail.com. If you have any questions, please fill free to post them here, email them or send me a PM.

Sign-ups close September 30th!

Side note: As we do every year, we would love to have someone make a special fanart for us for the participation banners. If it is something you would be interested in, please PM me. I do apologize for not getting the banners in for last year, they completely slipped my mind, but I will have them done before this year's exchange is finished.

We are doing the avalanche exchange this year! Meaning everyone who signs up will get a 1500 word max story or a sketch from everyone else that signs up. That also means you will have to do one for everyone else as well, so if you feel you will not be able, but still want to sign up just in case, just tell me to hold a spot for you when you sign up. At the end of the sign-ups, I will let you know how many signed up and you can choose then if you want to stay or drop out.

Update: We are going back to our usual give one gift, get one gift as not enough people were interested in doing the avalanche. Basically, I had two sign-ups, one for yes and one on the 'hold a spot' list lol.

I will be sending a message to anyone who posted on last year's thread to remind you that sign-ups are open. To make things easier for in the future, let me know if you want to be added to an alert list to be notified each year .

Hairann

We have not gotten enough sign-ups to date to warrant the avalanche exchange so I am switching it back to give one gift, get one gift. So if the avalanche idea was what was holding you back, please feel free to sign up. There are two weeks left until sign-ups are closed.

I just finished signing up! Can't believe I almost forgot this year

Glad I sent you the message then

Sounds interesting I've never be around long enough to see this on the holidays, Got a question though for where it says "You will write a one-shot of up to 1500 words or draw a sketch for each person who signs up. IYou will write a one-shot of up to 1500 words or draw a sketch for each person who signs up." Say 10 people signed up does that mean you have to write 10 different stories?

Sorry need to edit that. Originally that was the plan. However, not enough people wanted to sign up for it this year to do the avalanche, writing/drawing for everyone, so it will now be just one gift for one name I will send out.

I'm so glad that you reminded me about the exchange! I got so much work/studying/home stuff that I forgot

glad I could help

I'll sign up! I haven't done this before so I hope I sign up correctly XD

Names are sent out, remember to direct any questions you have to the exchange email directly. Do not post here or ask the person whose name you received. If you signed up and you didn't receive an email, please let me know and I will resend it.

I'm sad I'm so late to see this. Uni has really taken up my time and now that I'm off, I've missed out on this!

I hope you guys have a good batch of submissions this year~

Also. Got a little confused about the member lock part. Is it locked via our Dokuga names or you just need me to have a LJ account.

Posted on one of your lj comments as well, but putting it here also in case you don't see that one...

If you're not seeing the MA stories, make sure you are logged into LJ and joined the group itself, not just watching. If that still doesn't work, check out their Dokuga accounts for when they add them. The two that are member locked are by sesshomarusama33 and StormieLikeWeather.

Was a banner made for the Holiday Exchange?

Thank you for reminding me, no it wasn't. And I completely forgot. I will get one made up this week and post it here once it's ready. Sorry about that everyone!

Sorry for the delay, the banner for last year is available here. I will no longer be adding names to them since I no longer have a place to host them.

The banner was created by the talented Elvis and is used with permission.

Don't forget, sign-ups for this year are officially open at here.

Just sent in my sign-up form.
So looking forward to the Exchange this year.
