Dear Purimgifts creator,

Hello, hello, delighted to be back for my second Purimgifts! Thank you so much for creating something for me.


General notes: I’m starfishstar on AO3, DW and LJ. I’m easy to please! If you write a story about any of these characters, out of love for these characters, I’m going to be delighted with it. My requests in all of these fandoms are for fanfic and/or podfic. Certainly no obligation in this direction, but if you want to podfic anything of mine, you have blanket permission!

DNW: Just the big ones that I've already tagged in my sign-up (Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con).

Likes: A focus on character interactions, be that friendship or romance or family. Found family dynamics. Humor and banter. UST (all the UST) as long as it resolves by the end. Happy or hopeful endings (angst and complexity are fine – I like stories that are realistic! – but I do need at least a degree of hope). I'm equally fond of genfic and of pairings (F/F, M/M, M/F, it's all good.) Especially for this exchange, feel free to lean as hard as you want in the silly/goofy/fun/romp/parody/humor direction – it's Purim, after all!

Judaism: I’m Jewish (not observant or even particularly practicing much of the time, but it's a very important part of my cultural/family identity) and I was so delighted when I stumbled across this fest, a joyful fic exchange based around a joyful Jewish holiday. You're certainly not required to write Jewish content into your pod/fics, but if it's something you want to and feel able to do, I'll be super-extra-especially-delighted. :-)

Guys guys guys guys!! This is coming:


(Sign-ups 2–9 January!)


[community profile] purimgifts is a delightful pan-fandom exchange I joined for the first time last year; I love that it's tied to a Jewish holiday (and a very joyful Jewish holiday at that), after I'd spent so long in fandom experiencing mostly Christmas-adjacent fests, but you very very definitely don't have to be Jewish to participate! You just have to want to create fics (or podfics) about characters who are at least one of: women, Jewish...or persecuted by evil viziers. ;-)

It's quite low-key: You make three small gifts (ficlets or ficlet-sized podfics) and a very small art/icon component as well. (The "art" aspect can sound daunting, but in my experience – just as promised – it was easy to do!) This is a really joyful fest with nice people and lots of good will, and I recommend it. There's still time to nominate fandoms or sign up or just find out more here.

Join me?

<3

Separately but relatedly, I'm wondering if I should sign up for [community profile] chocolateboxcomm – I've seen it around for a number of years but don't really know anything about it. Anyone want to tell me why it's great and I should join??

Hello! This is my first time signing up for Purimgifts, I am VERY EXCITED, and I'm looking forward to reading/hearing/seeing whatever you create. :-) Here are some thoughts if you want 'em:


General notes: I’m starfishstar on AO3, DW and LJ, if you want to look me up in any of those places. Oh, and I'm new to Purimgifts and I'm not totally sure how the podficcing aspect works, but if you want to podfic anything of mine, you certainly have blanket permission!
