Clexmas 2014 Winter Holiday Gift Exchange! (original) (raw)

We're a little late, but we *are* back for another year of wonderful Clexmas Holiday Gifts. :)

Winter returns, and it’s time again to stoke the Clex fires with the sheer hotness of our ship. Sweet and early pre-slash, domestic and homey, far flung AUs, late season fix-it fics-- Let our fannish verve keep us toasty warm. This is for the boys, after all!

By the nature of the challenge, the gifts will be wide-ranging and exciting and you won't know what you get until you get it! You might get fic, you might get a vid; it might be a graphic. Open your present during the Holidays and see what you have. :)

- Please send the following information with your gift:
Title, Rating, Warnings, Summary, Gifter Notes
- If you have a beta you'd like to thank in gifter notes, that's part of the information we'll hold until the revel, because it will give hints. ^^;
- Questions? Email us at clexmas@gmail.com or send us a PM at clexmasmystery

Rules

1. This is a Clexmas Gift Exchange. All stories will feature Clark and Lex as the main pairing of the gift, celebrating the Clex in our lives. (Secondary pairings are allowed only with permission of the giftee.) (Since this is the Holidays, please also keep all gifts happy unless specifically requested by the giftee - no surprise dark Clex.)
2. No reusing old (already posted) material, please.
3. Complete stories only. Please do not post works-in-progress, or a "part one" of a story. (If you're running late on the time, that's one thing, and we can work something out, but please try not to make it a WIP if you can possibly help it.)
4. In the interest of allowing participants to give what they can, please do not ask for specific media for your gift. Instead, fill out the 'would like to see' portion of the sign-up as completely as possible and allow us to match you up to someone who might be able to fulfill that desire. (Unless you have a problem such as "no sound on the computer" which would limit your enjoyment of the gift.)
5. Try to fulfill at least one of the requests for your giftee. If you can fulfill more, then great, but not required. ^^
7. All participants should complete their assignments. Let us know if you are going to have trouble with the assignment, and we will try to do something about it.
8. Please feed the participants: Comment if you can!

If anybody has questions about coming up with prompts or ideas or wants to talk it out, please email us ( clexmas@gmail.com ) and we'll be happy to bounce ideas back and forth to help you with your gifting. :)

When signing up, please use this format (copy and paste this into the comment and then answer the questions) (write your answers after the in each of the questions):

(Note - the information in that screen above scrolls - make sure you get all the questions! If you're not sure if you did, see the example post to check.)

If your answer won't fit all in one comment (darn LJ restrictions!), then feel free to split it into two comments. ;D Happens to the best of us!

Happy Clexmas to All! ^___^
