purimgifts signups are open! It's my favorite exchange of the year, where you exchange bundles of short ficlets and half-assed artwork for Purim, stories about characters who are either a) female or b) Jewish or c)persecuted by evil viziers.

I'm not sure I'm going to sign up this year; I skipped it last year after defaulting on Yuletide and struggling to complete Purimgifts the year before, because I was worried I'd end up defaulting on Purimgifts. And I haven't been writing much fic this year... but I really want to sign up. So we'll see.


Also wanted to mention I got a promotion link in my email to free PDF downloads from Artscroll of this week's Parasha from two of their new Chumash commentaries, one centered around Targum Onkelos and one centered around 'teachings from the Talmud'.

Anyone interested in seeing what these new commentaries look like should check them out.

I dithered--my default record for purimgifts is, uh, not good--but I've decided: I'm gonna do it. The writing period is longer than last year, that helps.

So does Purimgifts include sketches, as well? Their page only says "fanfic and podfic".

I always enjoy exchanges like these but have trouble signing up for them - I'll readfor a lot more fandoms than I'll write, and the same goes for drawing......

Ah, I see how that advertising could be confusing.

The requirement for Purimgifts is that you create 3 little fanfics (300-1000 words) OR podfics (3-10 minutes) AND 3 graphics. The idea is to create a little mishloach manot basket of gifts for your recipient, both images and text. The graphics can be sketches, icons, photomanips, whatever.
