Guardian Wishlist 2023 is coming!

[trobadora]

In a little over a month, Guardian Wishlist 2023 will open for business at guardian_wishlist. This gifting fest runs along the lines of fandomtrees and its ilk, but is specifically for Guardian (show, novel, and RPF) and related fandoms (main actors' other roles). It works like this:

1. People sign up with a wishlist of prompts and things they'd like to receive. Requests can include any media, including transformative works like fic, art, icons, vids, podfic, and also picspams and meta, translation advice, related music links, lollipops, oranges, dried fish snacks, anything.
2. Anyone can write, draw, record, or otherwise create gifts for any sign-up. Gifts can be posted directly in comments (which are screened until reveals) or to an AO3 collection. Gift posting continues right up until reveals. There are no minimums for gifts.

It was really fantastic the last two years, and we're looking forward to another round to celebrate this year's Reunion Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) - so start thinking about what kinds of things you want to ask for. (Don't hold back! Your wishlist could prompt someone to finally make the thing they've been meaning to make for ages - or something they hadn't realised they were dying to put together!)

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the late side this year, so our schedule runs later than it has in the past. We'll be back closer to the date with updated rules and guidelines (all announcements and such are crossposted here on sid_guardian), but we wanted to let you know the schedule now:

• 21 August: sign-ups open
• 29 August: first wishlists posted
• 8 September: sign-ups close
• 9 September: final wishlists posted
• 29 September (Reunion Festival): gifts revealed

Hooray! I‘ve promoted in the DMBj Yucun Discord. There is a dedicated Z1L picspam channel so there are enough people that might be interested in joining.

[trobadora]

Oh, fantastic, thank you!

And congrats to everyone in that channel for their excellent taste. :D
