2018: Swap! in the Name of Yuletide || SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN.
If you are new to swaps, or to Yuletide, and curious: FAQ here. If you are old to swaps, read on!
YULESWAPS 2018 SCHEDULE:
+ Sign-up forms are open now and will close on Thursday, October 18, 2018 at 9:00 PM PDT. Click here for a countdown, as always! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Tell yourself to set a reminder on your phone!
+ Match-ups will go out in late October, personal life and technology permitting. Probably over a 2- or 3-day period, because of mail merge sending limits.
+ This year's SENDING DEADLINE (for now) is Monday, November 12, 2018. Before signing up, please do a reality/calendar check to make sure you will have the money and time!
REMINDERS, ALWAYS REMINDERS:
+ Swaps Central: our all-in-one check-in form! You remember it. Still a thing.
+ Email: if you are new, we strongly suggest emailing us at yuleswaps at gmail dot com, just so your email will know we're not spam when we send match-ups.
+ DW/LJ: we will post here after match-ups go out, so everyone knows they definitely did. Please see the FAQ for instructions on how to track the various yuleswaps tags!
+ Sign-ups: PLEASE read instructions carefully, and take particular care not to typo your AO3 name or email! There's always someone whose poor sender is like, "gmail.co????" #yes really
+ Defaulting: look. If anything untoward (money, anxiety, life) should happen to you AT ANY POINT in the swapping process, please don’t just disappear. Tell us, and we’ll work it out! Promise. We are very nice.
And now...
Swap! in the Name of…
CANDY || BOOKS || DRINKS

Not a stupid question at all! We get it often, ranging from "accidentally missed YT sign-ups this year" to situations more like yours. I almost always say yes, especially if it's somebody who's swapped successfully in the past. Obviously I'm not looking to open swaps up to the ~wide world, but for the most part, it's the spirit of the thing. <3
Which is to say: come play! But sign up soon, because I'm closing them tomorrow night.
(Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner; was out in the world.)

Alsooooo I totally just uh almost nearly forgot to sign up haha. I was going to sign up earlier but had brain fart and then went "oh shit when's the deadline ... six minutes okay I can type fast" 🤪
I'm nuts

1) I actually haven't closed them yet/might have totally forgotten if not for this email notification, because like...I opened some windows to deal with swaps stuff --> promptly got distracted by random Times articles (about sports???? so unlike me) --> was inundated by texts from a friend --> then my Sox won the pennant and will be going to the Series, so there shall be NO MORE FOCUSING OF ANY KIND TONIGHT!!!! (wow, this series of events really makes it seem like I am a person who spends a lot of time on sports...things... which, I assure you, I am not) --> focus issues evidenced by the fact that I just spent like 15 minutes typing this paragraph.
2) GUESS WHO HASN'T SIGNED UP FOR SWAPS YET? ME. I guess I should maybe do that before I close them.
3) I think yulechat is mainly on Discord now? I'm in the #wordwars window a lot but not the other ones much. It's nice in there, though! Though it's sometimes a lot, notifications-wise. I think I've muted a lot of channels out of necessity, haha, because I have it on my phone and otherwise that thing would just be buzzing nonstop, and nothing (swaps or otherwise) would ever get done. ;)
4) You're not a weirdo! I mean, unless you want to be/no more than the rest of us, I imagine. See you around...!

2) yay swaps, swaps are awesome
iii) ack I've never used discord :( I am such a dinosaur. Rawr.
fork) everyone in yuletidedom is weird, I'm pretty sure. Normal is boring.
no subject
lol, I had never used Discord before maybe last year? you'll figure it out!
