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!

I have questions ><;;;

If you are not a member, you can still join, but it just makes things easier if you are. For example, if someone gifted you with a gift that was over an R rating, you would not be able to read it, since we friends lock all NC-17 posts. Also, membership shows us that each person involved is over the age of consent in their region - saves our butts so we're not breaking the law by gifting prOn to 14 year olds.

I'm willing to be a back-up writer/artist:
You would answer yes or no. If someone backs out of the exchange and we need a last-minute request filled, we call on the back-up people to write or draw another gift, so that no one is left out. In most cases, we only need one or two volunteers, but it's nice to know who's willing, just in case.

I hope that helps.
