Be My Vampentine - hpvamp gift exchange

[hpvamp-mods.livejournal.com]

And now, the mods of hpvamp would like to unearth the next themed gift exchange...

Bonding/love theme - from fluffy/sweet to dark/obsessive and all points in-between. How do vampires say "Be mine"?

Yes, sweet doves of the night, we're calling on you to celebrate Vampentine's Day with us. You asked for more themed exchanges, so we hope this will be something for all to bite into and enjoy.

Guidelines:

:F At least one character must be a vampire.
:F Use the theme to inspire you (bonding/love/lust/valentine's day/obsession/possession)
:F Gen/het/slash - ratings G to NC-17 all welcome
:F You can chose to give either art or fic, but because there always seems to be more authors than artists, so please choose to receive fic or 'either' for your own gift. Please don't ask just for art. *lick*
:F Be generous in your requests - give your author/artist lots of room to create the perfect gift for you.
:F Fill out the form below in full (be sure to read it carefully) and then e-mail to hpvampwriting @ gmail.com

FAQ's

What's an exchange?: Someone writes/draws a Vampentine gift for you, and you do the same for a request that will be e-mailed to you - except it's all done secretly, so no one knows who gave them the gift until the master list is posted.

Do I have to be a member of hpvamp to sign up?: No, but it does make things easier because all NC-17 fics are friends locked on our pale little community, so you won't be able to see the higher rated entries unless you're a member.

How do I become a member?: Follow the three steps on the community profile page, and you'll be as ready as an open grave. Welcome!

What a wonderful idea!!! I already signed up! You guys ROCK

[unbroken-halo.livejournal.com]

YAY!! Been waiting on the next fest for this comm. Love this theme.

[june-glasschild.livejournal.com]

And if i'm not an artist or a writer ... just a reader, can I apply to recieve a fic or an art?

Vampentine fics, yeah !!!!!!!

[tigerblak.livejournal.com]

I did it! My first time at doing a themed fic/art exchange!

[angelsotherlove.livejournal.com]

WOOT!

I've been waiting since the last exchange for the next one.

~this makes me very excited!~

*runs off to sign up*

[ficklestripey.livejournal.com]

Glad to have the opportunity to participate again. This time I promise to try and be better about the deadline!

[sweetsorcery.livejournal.com]

Haven't participated here before, so may I ask for a clarification?
How do you limit what you're willing to write? The 3 - 5 pairings are just for the request, not the offer, right? Or both? Ditto with the squicks. Is there a way to ensure you don't end up having to write a character you loathe doing things you find completely horrendous?

Apologies in advance if this is really obvious and I managed to miss it somehow. :)

[irana.livejournal.com]

I'm so in! Vampentine... I love it.

[luttie.livejournal.com]

I've been reading here for a little and didn't participated in anything, so here I'm starting know, I'm so excited! =]]]

I just have one question, About the beta. Do I'll need to find a beta for myself? can I do that at all? or are there's something that I don't that is obvious about the beta's and I don't know about it?

[ravenpan.livejournal.com]

Perhaps one more attempt at the whole exchange thing then. *thinks up her email*

[suemonroe.livejournal.com]

This is the first time I've done an exchange, but I love the idea. I'm quite looking forward to the challenge of it. Thanks for the opportunity.

[scwolf-10k.livejournal.com]

This is gonna be interesting. So, I'm signing up too!

[the-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I have questions ><;;;

I'm not a member, but am I still allowed to join? o.o;

and second:
I'm willing to be a back-up writer/artist:
I'm stupid, I so did not get this part =____=;;;

I signed up

[dracavia]

Sent in my sign-up email. I haven't written much fic since the last one I wrote for here over a year ago, but Uni's now over and I find myself looking for fic inspiration once more. I figured this was as good a place as any to start, I really enjoyed writing for the exchange last time.

[gabriel-anubis.livejournal.com]

I signed up - hope I'm on time! :)

[wufei-w.livejournal.com]

Cool, I just signed up a moment ago! Cutting it really close there, I hope I made it in time. I've never done an exchange before and this will be my first time writing something without my co-author. I'm very excited about doing this and afraid all at the same time! ^-^

[nubit.livejournal.com]

eee, that sounds like so much fun! *signs up*

[jeannie81.livejournal.com]

I sent a mail, it's still the 27th in other parts of the world :D. If I'm too late, that's okay too. Is there a word limit to the fics?
