So very excited that Holiday Wishes has come 'round again. I've participated for a few years now, and I've been looking forward to it. Can't wait to comb through all these lists!

Here is mine:

1) Google Play or Steam cards/credits, so I can either pamper myself a little in Pokemon Go or play games with my partner!

2) Holiday cards. Who doesn't love receiving mail, especially around the holidays? Every year I decorate my mantle with all the cards I have gotten in the mail. It's very cheerful.

3) Art of an OC of mine. I will of course provide details, if you are interested in taking a crack at it!

4) Stationary, so I can send things to my friends. This can be anything from postcards or paper stationary to washi tape, postage stamps or notecards. If you've got any laying around you won't use, or isn't quite to your taste, I'd be happy to take it off your hands!

5) Your best crock pot recipes.

6) Animorphs #51, The Absolute. It's the only one I'm missing from my collection, and for some reason, that volume in particular is very hard to find. Do you have it, boxed away in your attic, or sitting on a dusty shelf? Maybe you've spied it in a local thrift shop or used book store. My almost-complete collection would love to give it a home!

7) My Amazon list can be found HERE. It's a pretty even mix of Wants and Needs.

Thank you so much for giving my list a peek. If you need to contact me at all, please feel free to just send me a DM here on Dreamwidth, or shoot me an email at threebatchproblem AT gmail DOT com.

This will be my third year participating in Holiday Wishes!

1. Dreamwidth points and/or more premium paid time would be fantastic. If provided with the former, then I can obtain the latter myself.

2. Recommendations for any new gothic horror/gothic romance films that may have been released in the last two or three years. If it’s a Dracula adjacent film, then in all probability I may have seen it. I adored Nosferatu (2024). I am aware of Frankenstein (2025), and should be watching it soon.

3. Please consider donating to your local animal shelter, or even just volunteering.

4. Fan art inspired by any of the Dracula fanfic I’ve written over the years would be amazing.

5. An icon with my username on it, similar to what I use for my default icon, for Nosferatu (2024), Legend (1985), or House of Dark Shadows (1970).

Thank you so much in advance, and may you have a happy holiday season!

holiday_wishes

Hello, name's Blue! Happy to participate here again!

1. Kudos and comments on my fics! I write for Identity V and Limbus Company.

2. Steam gift cards! I like getting random small games that get my interest when I read about them, but I don't often have the money to spend. I'm also hoping for at least 10 euros as the main game I play, Limbus Company, is gonna have new season on 31st December and I'd like to get the battle pass early if possible. Let me know if you'd like to do this since I'm not familiar with how this works on Steam especially if from a different country than mine. My email is overm0re@proton.me tho I can send the Steam acc in the comments if needed.

3. More friends on dreamwidth! I mainly post about my writing and site progress and at the beginning of the month fic roundup. Want to do more at some point too, so just having more people here is nice!

4. Fanworks for one of my otps, Gregor/Sinclair from Limbus Company. Art or fic. Some prompts are under the cut, but tldr I'm not too picky about them as long as nothing in my DNW is there.
( Prompts )

5. Extra icon slots. I have one left right now but I wanna add more icons. Anything you really can do is enough for me

queenslayerbee posting in

holiday_wishes

Hello! It's my first time participating in this event, and I have only a few requests ^-^

1. I would love to get anything inspired by my own fics. This can be fanart, covers/picspams... Or the reverse, with a few not-fics I have on ao3 (under the "Embedded Images" tag), or with short-form fics such as drabbles, double d that could instead inspire some writing. Things like remixes, podfics, translations, continuations... you name it, it's all welcome.

2. Putting more femslash into the world is always a net positive, so I'd love to get some f/f fic! I'd especially love some heroine/antagonist stuff.

Some ships I'd love to receive gifts of: Rosita/Waverly (Wynonna Earp), Aurora/Maleficent (any version), Carmilla/Laura (original novel), Eleanor/Max (Black Sails), Buffy/Faith, Maika/Tuya (Monstress), Echo/Raven (The 100), Cersei/Sansa, Selina/Stephanie (DC comics, pre-reboot).
Some tropes or themes I enjoy: amnesia, angst, time travel/loop, unusual forms of fics (epistolary, outsider POV, etc.), heists and escapes, lovers to enemies, explorations of mourning, mind control, abuse aftermath, humour/dark humour, exes-to-lovers (or just exes), hurt/comfort, secrets being uncovered, roleplaying, primal kink, bittersweet endings, bloodsharing.
DNWs: non-con; omegaverse and similar AUs (i.e. biologically assigned D/s roles); watersports/scat, gender swaps, non-canon pregnancies, overt fluff and "cozy" stories or slice of life, modern/no capes/mundane AUs, soulmate AUs, focus on romance that isn't F/F.

3. On that same spirit, what about some lesbian recs? Both romantic/shippy or not. These can go from fanworks, to novels (adult lit, please), non-fiction books, films... Tell me your favourite stories about wlw. Here the "not overt fluff and cozy stories or slice of life" applies, too.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a good time these holidays!

Hi!! I'm Agnes, I did this last year and am so very excited to fulfill some wishes again this year!! Thank you for considering gifting me things. :)

1) Amazon wishlist, because of course, LOL.

2) Fic based on my previous exchange requests! Please note the DNW, otherwise I would LOVE fanworks for any length, ship, etc; if you feel called to write something, I'd love that regardless of what it is!! :D My Ao3 username is ToothpasteCheesecake and you can view my previous requests on the ao3 app here.

Commonly requested fandoms include The Orville, Doom Patrol TV, Babylon 5, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Palia, both Charmeds, Ghost Quartet, The Sims 3.

3) Fanart of my OCs! I think this would be really cool :) any art style and any level of completion welcomed!! I just think it'd be fun. You can view my OCs on toyhou,se here!

4) Extra icon slots would be really really awesome!!

5) Icons would be awesome, from the following fandoms: The Orville (Claire, Charly, Kaylon Primary, Alara, Teleya, Topa), Doom Patrol TV (Valentina, Jane or any of her alters, The Negative Spirit, Isabel Feathers, The Sisterhood of Dada Girls), Palia (Elouisa, Caleri, Tish, Jina, Einar, Subira), Babylon 5 (Anna, Morden, Kosh, Talia)

6) Tea reccommendations! I don't really care for anything with cinnamon, but anything else is good. Links appreciated! Some of my favorite flavors to give you an idea of what I might like: jasmine, maple, cherry, vanilla, really strong black teas.

7) Flavored coffee recs! Again I don't like cinammon, but anything else is chill. FOr this one, the weirder the better! Links appreciated. I love, for example, strawberry cheesecake coffee, smores coffee, Michigan cherry, are all ones I've tried and adored, if that gives you a starting point!

8) Comments on my fanworks! I write for rarepairs/minor characters mainly in the Babylon 5, The Orville, Doom Patrol, and Yellowjackets fandoms, also sometimes Star Trek and Charmed (both).

9) Donations to a cat cafe here in my city. They've had a rough time of it lately but they do such great work.

10) Zines! If you'd like my address to mail them, please email me at alienhospitals@gmail.com with your DW username (sorry I don't wanna give it out publicly :P). I also make zines so let me know if you'd like to trade!

Thank you so much again!!

Hey y'all, I'm Jay, and I'm reusing a lot of my previous lists. Don't mind the government name on my address. I think I'm gonna have fun going through and seeing what I can gift others, but in meantime, here's a few things I'm looking for, in no particular order:

1. Comments on my work

2. Any transformative works based on my work

3. Honeycomb toffee! It's my favorite candy that I can't easily get where I'm living. Great Lakes folks may also know it as sponge candy (Stefanelli's/Romolo/Pulakos my beloved), but Wikipedia tells me honeycomb toffee is the proper name. And of course you may just know it as Crunchie or Violet Crumble!

4. Obligatory Amazon wishlist

5. Instacart gift cards, so I can get groceries. My account email is gasolinecancan@hotmail.com

6. Commission me?

7. Recs for artists I can commission! Be that you, a friend, or an artist you think is cool. Bonus points for an artist who can draw crazy anime hairstyles ;)

8. Butterflies! Inasmuch as I can keep a collection, I collect butterflies, so anything with them is welcome

9. If the spirit so moves you (if you're into hot-blooded power of friendship anime), watch G Gundam. (The link is a promo post introducing the plot to newbies.) It's an old love that's recently been reignited for me and I would love someone to talk to about it ~~especially now that fandom has gotten more queer-friendly than it was twenty years ago~~. It's been recently remastered, I believe Crunchyroll has the sub, and the dub (which is actually pretty good) is easy enough to find, including iirc on the Internet Archive - and if you find it easier to watch with someone, hit me up and I can take you through!

My address is:
E Cerezo
109 E Lincoln Ave Apt A
McDonald PA 15057

linky posting in

holiday_wishes

Hello! I'm Linky and this is my third time doing thi. I'm looking forward to granting whatever wishes I can to others as well! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and don't feel obligated to do any of the ones that involve money if you can't. I wish you good things!

Kamen Rider Gotchard Icons: Any icons of the main characters from Kamen Rider Gotchard! I adore this entire cast to bits, so having more icons of them would be awesome. If you want some specific characters to help give some more direction: Hotaro, Rinne, Spanner, Minato, or Glion. I can also provide screencaps from my collection if needed.

Comments and Kudos on My Fanworks: If you enjoy any of the fandoms I’ve created for (Various Kamen Rider Series, Some Super Sentai Series, Captain Harlock, Zelda + Tons More), please feel free to look around my works on Ao3 and leave some kudos/feedback if you enjoyed something I made. It’s mostly fic on there but I have some art posted there too: linkily

If you are 18+ and into tokusatsu, or know anyone else who is, I would love to see more prompts and fills being made over at the kinkmeme I run here on DW: tokukinkmeme. Even just spreading the word of the kinkmeme in general is greatly appreciated!

Music Recs: I’m always looking for more relaxing music to listen to while I draw.

Podfics of my Fanfiction: If you do podfics, I'd love to see some of any of my fanfiction! You can view my permissions for podfic in more detail right here.

Fanworks for Abunai Deka: I've recently gotten obsessed with this obscure (well obscure in the west anyways) Japanese police procedural from the 80's. I'd love art, icons, fic, of Taka/Yuji. I'd just would love to see more for this show that I've become so obsessed with!

DW Extra Icon Slots: Extra icon slots for my journal would be wonderful.

Paid DW Premium Time: If you feel so inclined, more premium time for my journal would be lovely.

Thank you so much for your time, and I hope that the rest of the year will show kindness to you!

1. Dreamwidth paid time. This is mainly for more icon slots.

2. Kudos and comments on my fics. All of my fics are gen Yu-Gi-Oh! fics. No concrit please.

3. Anything for Yu-Gi-Oh!. I have a prompt list here but you can also do things that aren't on it. It's more to give an idea of what I'm looking for.

4. Anything for Nancy Drew (video games only). Same thing as with the above wish.

5. Dreamwidth friends. My profile tags probably give a better idea of what I'm going to be posting about than my intro post.

6. Recommendations for digital zines. I'm mostly interested in tech ones, but any topic is fine.

7. Recommendations for artists that take commissions for both OCs & fanart.

8. Recipes. I'll try pretty much anything.

9. Drama show recommendations. I have Netflix and access to all of the free ones like Tubi.

summerstorm posting in

holiday_wishes

[1] Friends on Bluesky (kivrin) or on Finch (LWQMXDV9J5), which I just got but am really liking.

[2] Art of my ttrpg OCs. I've asked for this every year since I started playing (ie. since I got on bupropion) and had someone draw one for me the first year, then decide I'd asked for too much and fully abandon the project (and bar me from using the existing artwork). I'm still not sure how much of that was my fault, but I'd love a do-over, especially if you're an artist who is willing to tell me exactly how much is "too much" to ask for, and let me backtrack if I've actually gone overboard.

[3] Stickers for my planner! I've been decorating my planner every week all year and it helps so much. Since stickers can just go in a standard envelope, I would assume you can send them from anywhere without incurring custom fees as long as it's not something that's declared on the envelope. I like floral stuff and sort of stylized things, with a white or transparent background if possible. These are some examples of what I mean .

[4] Hire me? I would love some editing work, particularly anything related to TTRPG writing -- modules, homebrew, etc. I have a couple of offers on my Ko-Fi, but I truly don't even know where to start. I would also be thrilled to design printables for spell cards, condition cards, item cards, character sheets, etc. for a low price -- I keep meaning to design them and sell them, but I have a really hard time getting myself to do it without specifics or someone waiting on them.

In the same vein, I've been meaning to try making a dice bag; if anyone wants to sort of pre-buy one, that would be amazing.

[5] Anything from my Amazon.es wishlist, or

[6] gift cards to Amazon.es, the PlayStation store, or UberEats. I haven't had takeout since my birthday last year.

And I will specify two things from the wishlist:

[7] A planner for next year. I have a day view and a week view on there because I can't choose one, not because I want both, and I'm willing to let a stranger pick between them for me.

[8] This is partly a pipe dream, partly a request for contributions so I can perhaps buy it myself on Black Friday. I am dying for a PS5. I want to play the games my friends are playing, and they insist on not releasing them for PS4, and it sucks. I have a little bit of money set aside for this, but not enough to buy it without feeling incredibly guilty about it. So if you're willing to contribute anything from 5 bucks to the whole thing, my Paypal is battlesinthemorning@gmail.com (or you can send money through paypal.me) and I can share my Wise account details as well in private messages.

[9] A year subscription on the lowest tier to DNDBeyond. I am currently juggling three accounts with six characters each and it is a mess. It works though, so this isn't super high priority.

I'm happy to answer any questions, and also to give out my address via PM for either stickers or if you want to buy me something off not-Amazon (eg. Kokonote has its own website).

Thank you so much for reading, and happy holidays!

Happy holidays everyone. Another year, another holiday wishes. I do enjoy this group each year. I feel like it represents the best out of everyone.

Now about my list this year. I know things are well... they are very rough all around right now. So with that in mind for my list I'm focusing on mostly free things. And nothing that needs to be shipped.

The list will be short because of that. But that's more then fine with me.

In any case, the list.

1. Fanart for any of my fan fics. I'm really leaning into Monkey Wrench fics right now but any of my fics with art based off them would be great. Link to my ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/users/wonderminterplus

2. Fan fic , again feeling Monkey Wrench the most. And love Shrike/Beebs as a sweet ship. Fic based off any of my fics at ao3 would be adored.

3. The one money involved wish. Please donate to your local food kitchen.

4. Comment on more fic or art. Not just mine, but anyone whose works you love. Trust me, a nice comment makes a artist or writers day.

5. Do something nice for someone. Doesn't have to be big. Like, holding open the door for someone fulfills this. You would be surprised how much tiny things like that can help someone sometimes.

6. Watch some indie projects. If you are a animation fan, may I suggest a few shows such as "Monkey Wrench", "Ruff Ruff Danger Dogs" or "Knights of Guinevere. Please let me know what you think if you watch.

7. You have any ocs? I'd love to hear about them. I love ocs.

And that's it this year. Thank you all in advance. This event in general is just so sweet and needed in days like this.

Now to go look around at lists to see if I can make someones day.

addme

Name: K/zheida

Age: 36

I mostly post about: nothing in particular right now, i'm trying to get back into using this site, i think i'm really over social media in general and i miss LJ stuff haha BUT mostly rp doodles probably, and some artwork now that most sites are making it near unbearable to post drawings that are lgbt romance. Anything n everything

My hobbies are: drawing, writing, rp, world building, music archiving (usually old obscure osts for various anime n rpgs) gaming, watching anime, reading Manga (I need to read more books... 😭) d&d/tabletop, cooking, sewing, crafting idk do a lot of things but I'm not necessarily good at many hahai

My fandoms are: i don't really consider myself "in fandoms" I just sort of like what I like and make merch for it sometimes, I rarely interact in fan content so I'm not rly a big fic reader, I'm much more in the oc crowd than making fan content. BUT here's some stuff I love: record of lodoss war, weathering continent, RG Veda, Saint seiya, magi labyrinth of magic, land of the lustrous, dungeon meshi, Slayers, lunar: sss&eb, mana series, final fantasy, Lufia, -- really lots of old fantasy anime n games from the 60s to late 90s with the rare occasional newer thing

I'm looking to meet people who: are chill and around my age, anyone who's interested in original characters n anything listed above

My posting schedule tends to be: unsure yet but I'd like it to be every day if I can manage it

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I guess just general hateful content, which I don't see happening often. Other than that I am NOT a fan of anti/proshipper wank I am frankly too old for it. Both sides get on my nerves and I will typically unfollow ppl who start engaging in that arguing.

Before adding me, you should know: as related to above; I am a believer of fiction being fiction and separate from reality. I don't really care what people choose to write or create. (we can point out real life patterns in themes chosen, but that doesn't make any of it real or inherently harmful) However, I like to be critical of media n can sound harsh about it sometimes, but I'm never going to tell anyone not to like something just bc I don't care for it.

holiday_wishes

Hello from a second-time participant! Here are my wishes. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to PM me.

Wish 01. Comments and kudos on my stories

I write fanfiction focusing on rarepairs and minor characters in the Pokémon fandom, with some other very small fandoms and original work sprinkled throughout.. I'd be thrilled to receive comments on anything that catches your eye. You can find my works under the AO3 username Audrelite. 99% of my stuff is 1k words or less so it's nice and short, but I do have some shorter one-shots as well. (I'm not a longfic writer.) No concrit, please, and I'd appreciate if you didn't mention that you're coming from this event or that you're fandom-blind.

Wish 02. Gift fics based on my exchange requests

I'd love to receive gift fics for any of my exchange requests, except for Original Work (including Object and Concept Anthropomorphism). Since my likes and DNWs, both general and NSFW, continually change over time, please consult the Optional Details of the latest exchange I've signed up for. My AutoAO3 App page, listing all of my requests, can be found here, and some giftbox-style events not hosted on AO3 I've signed up for can be found here.

Fandoms I frequently request include Pokémon, Beyblade Burst, and the Teen Titans animated series; others I'd really love gifts for include The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, Metal Fight Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the Seven Deadly Sins anime, Toonami, and many others. Please see the links above for specific info.

Wish 03. An EPUB file of any book off my Kindle list

Find my e-book wish list here.

Wish 04. E-Giftcards

Amazon, Spotify, Google Play

Wish 05. Someone who's read the Black Dynasty series by Marilena Barbagallo so I can gush about it

I've been utterly obsessed with this dark romance series for most of this year, and I've been very lonely since I can't really talk about it with any of my friends. Guess this is what you get when you love 1) dark romance and 2) Italian books—"niche" is an understatement to the nth degree.

Wish 06. Pipe Dream Wish: New iPad Mini

To keep my fanfic writing alive! (The fact that this iPhone X I've been using for my writing and creative endeavors has lasted me over 8 years astounds me to no end.)

Thanks very much for checking out my list, and happy holidays!

addme

I have always found nice people through this community, so I thought I would give it another try ;)

Name: Tina
Age: ~~old~~ 37 as of May 10th
I mostly post about: My daily life, thoughts that go through my head, the occasional meme/survey, and I often post pictures. However, I will always put the latter under a cut if there's more than three, so I don't clog up your flists too much.
My hobbies are: Reading, taking walks, hanging out with friends, listening to music/podcasts, doing jigsaw puzzles, taking pictures, cuddling my cat, travelling (when time and money allow), going to concerts (see previous brackets xD), doing logic puzzles & word searches, learning new things. I used to love adult colouring books and would like to get back into them at some point.

My fandoms are: I don't have fandoms as such - I mean, I like things but I don't participate in "fannish activities" like watching/reading fanfiction or the like. I have nothing against the former or anything and even enjoy reading the occasional fic my friends post if I am at all familiar with the fandom, it's just never been something I was particularly interested in doing myself.

I will list some favourites here though, if anyone is interested to see what we have in common.

Musical artists: A Day to Remember, Bring me the Horizon, Florence & the Machine, Taylor Swift, The Warning, The Last Dinner Party, Death by Romy, Tegan & Sara, Ice Nine Kills, Freya Ridings, Wanda, Emilie Autumn, Amy Shark, Great Big Sea, Alan Doyle, Shanneyganock, Derina Harvey Band, Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Kellie Loder, Bodh'aktan &many more. I probably even forgot some! I love music and can be found listening to anything from Pop or Rock to Metal, Goth or Metalcore to Rap, depending on my mood. The only genres I don't like much are Jazz & Classical Music but even there I can enjoy the occasional song.

Books: Lolita (V. Nabokov), Middlesex (J. Eugenides), The Wrong Boy (W. Russell), The Future of Another Timeline (A. Newitz), The Shock Of The Fall (N. Filer), Mio my Son (A. Lindgren), The Little Prince (A. de St. Exupéry), The Kronoberg trilogy (E.A. Sund), The Dept. Q series (J. Adler-Olsen), The Deathless series (N. Forna), The Peculiar Children series (R. Riggs), The Cider House Rules (J. Irving), Mrs. Dalloway (V. Woolf), Orlando (V. Woolf), We'll Prescribe You A Cat (S. Ishida), The Kangaroo Chronicles (M.-U. Kling), Animal Farm (G. Orwell), Migrations (C. McConaghy), Once There Were Wolves (C. McConaghy), The Hunger Games series (S. Collins), To The Bright Edge Of The World (E. Ivey), American Gods (N. Gaiman), A Song Of Ice & Fire series (G.R.R. Martin)...and I am probably forgetting half of them here, as well!

I used to be a huge Potterhead but ever since it came out what kind of person JKR is, I cannot read or watch the series with a good conscience anymore, or spend any money on HP-related things. I don't judge anyone who still likes the series though, it is just not for me anymore.

Movies: Anything with Meryl Streep ♥ , Godzilla movies, trashy horror movies in general (think creature feature/animal horror ^^), Despicable Me & Minions series*, The Secret Life Of Pets, Creep 1 & 2, Kinsey, Forrest Gump, If These Walls Could Talk II, Imagine Me & You, Smile, Life Of Brian, Guardians Of The Galaxy 1 & 2, Inside Out 1 & 2, A Simple Favor, Get Out, Escape Room, The Silence Of The Lambs... I confess that I am not a huge movie watcher, although I have been getting more into them over the past two years or so.

*apparently that makes me a cringy boomer. Oh well.

TV shows: Law & Order:SVU, Stranger Things, Wednesday, Son Of A Critch (though I have yet to see the latest season). I will also watch the occasional episode of Is It Cake? when the mood strikes. In the past I've enjoyed Pushing Daisies, Boston Public, Call the Midwife, Zoo (anyone remember that one?), Starling and Republic Of Doyle. As you see, I am not a huge TV watcher either *blush*.

I always welcome recommendations of any kind! :)

I'm looking to meet people who: are kind, empathetic, funny, open-minded and understanding. While it's cool if we have stuff in common, it's not a necessity to me - a lot of the best friends I've made on here have completely different interests. In fact, I love getting to know what kinds of things other people like and maybe even give that song/band/movie/book/whatever a try myself :) we can inspire each other!

My posting schedule tends to be: I try to post at least twice a week - I do a "What Are You Reading Wednesday" post (guess on which day? LOL) every week, and usually catch up on daily life every Sunday. Random posts may happen too ;)

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Discrimination/intentional bigotry of any kind. I say "intentional" because we all have subconscious prejudices and mess up once in a while and as long as we're open to learn from it, that's okay. Extreme black and white-thinking on any issue - I value critical thinking.

Before adding me, you should know: I have a few mental health issues, so my journal might not be puppies and sunshine all the time. So if you are a person who can't take "too much negativity" on their flist, I might not be the right friend for you. That's not meant to sound rude, it's rather that I want to feel free to let out my feelings in my journal without worrying where the line crosses into "too much" if that makes sense?

The former can also mean that I sometimes don't comment or read as much as I want to, same applies to when life gets busy. I always try to be there as much as I can though, and I always come back and catch up eventually!

Lastly, I am neurodivergent, most likely on the autism spectrum somewhere (just still undiagnosed because it is very difficult to even get an appointment for an assessment where I live :(). I say that because it means I sometimes take things too literally or may misunderstand something, or don't see all the nuances of what you wrote. So if I ever say something that comes across as rude, or put my foot in my mouth, please do give me the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't my intention to be offensive and give me a chance to explain myself. I swear I never mean harm &hearts; and I will do my best to make up for any I do cause.

I am looking forward to meeting new people from all walks of life ♥ please do comment here or on my Friends Only Post before adding me though, thank you.

snowflake_challenge

It’s coming up at that time of the year again and we wanted to let you know that the Fandom Snowflake Challenge will be happening again in January. We are very excited about hosting another round! To make the upcoming round as awesome as it can possibly be we are looking for volunteers to help us out! Here are the details on what the requirements and expectations of volunteer mods are for you to consider.

Requirements and Expectation of Volunteer Mods

General Volunteer Requirements:

All volunteers will have the opportunity to help us mold the challenges by helping come up with what challenges we offer and when we offer them.

Volunteers must be willing to interact with a lot of people who have different interests and levels than you and some of them, you might be the only interaction they receive. You must be able to offer support and encouragement or alert other mods to the need.

We have 4 levels of involvement that can fit most people's availability.

1) Poster and First Comment Responder

2) Comment Responder

3) Other Site Organizer

4) Graphics

Poster: We have 19 posts scheduled (15 challenges, one introduction, one meet the mods, one wrap up post and the friending meme.) You can sign up for only one if you'd like, or more if you're able.

Responsibility of Poster: create the post using the template provided. Seek feedback if you'd like. Post into the community, and then notify us in the mod community so we all know it's there. Then you are the first responder to that post. You don't have to answer every comment or read every post after. But you'll be the one getting the notifications as the challenge progresses so you'll have the sole responsibility of cheering on the stragglers.

Second Responder, Third and (hopefully) Fourth Responder Responsibilities:

✔️Help poster respond to comments on the community post (we get an average of 150 participants per challenge)

✔️Take turns commenting on each post of our participants.

✔️Communicate with other volunteers throughout the month.

Other Site Organizers Requirements:

We need volunteers familiar with other fandom spaces that aren't Dreamwidth if we want to have a presence in these spaces. This will require adapt each Dreamwidth post to making a post on your site, which may include fixing links, removing or altering HTML, sharing a small quote and linking to the Dreamwidth post, tagging appropriately, and/or removing or altering images to your site's specifications. You should be prepared to post the above 19 posts listed under Dreamwidth Poster and you should also be prepared to make additional posts as needed on your site to share any applicable graphics, share your site specific tags, or otherwise interact with your site participants.

Depending on your site, you may need to keep track of a tag, reply to comments on your post, keep track of reblogs, keep track of direct messages, or otherwise monitor your site for participant entries. You need to interact with participant entries in some way, such as commenting, reblogging, Liking, or whatever is possible on your site. Ideally, each site should have an additional volunteer (or volunteers) to help with posting and commenting on your site which might involve creating site specific templates, communicating outside of the Dreamwidth mods community, and other mod duties (like answering asks, checking an inbox, or maintaining a community.

Graphics:

We'd love to have someone with graphic abilities to help us create some banners and icons. Only requirement other than making awesome pretties is to supply the coding needed to post it.

It really is a lot of fun, made more so by the inclusion to as many people from as many fandoms and spaces as possible.
