November 14 - November 30: Sign-ups.
❄ During this period, you can sign-up to participate in the exchange and make any necessary revisions to your sign-up form.

December 1: Pairings sent.
❄ Your assignment will be sent to you in a message from me by the end of the day.

December 15 - December 22: Check-in.
❄ During this period, send me a message confirming your participation in the event.
❄ If you are a participant, tell me where you currently are in the process of making your gift. You do not have to show any WIPs. It's okay if you haven't started by this point.
❄ If you are a pinch hitter, let me know whether or not you are still interested in pinch hitting.
❄ If you are both a participant and a pinch hitter, you need to give me both pieces of information listed above.
❄ If I do not hear from you by December 22, I will send you a message myself. If you don’t respond to my message within 1 week, I will assume you have dropped out.

January 2: DEADLINE FOR GIFTS.
❄ Please send your completed artwork in a message to me, NOT to your assigned person. (It's fine if you send it earlier.)
❄ If you can only complete a WIP by this time, you must send the WIP to me by January 2 along with an estimated date of when you will be finished. Your WIP will be given to your assigned person in the meantime.
❄ If you cannot do your assignment at all, you must notify me by January 2 (but the earlier, the better).
❄ If I do not hear from you by January 2, I will assume that you have dropped out.

January 3 - January 5: Pinch hitting.
❄ This is when the pinch hitters will be working to complete art for anyone who is missing a gift.
❄ If you are a pinch hitter, please remember to check your messages during this time.
❄ If there is no need for pinch hitting, the gifts will be posted on January 3.

January 6: Gifts posted.
❄ Gifts will be posted in this thread and names will be revealed.

What kind of gift do I have to give?

answer ↓

You'll be giving art that you've made yourself. Your recipient will have a request, and you'll be expected to draw something from it. The size, medium, style, etc. is up to you.

I can't decide what I want drawn. Can I put multiple things in my request?

answer ↓

Yes! I encourage you to put multiple things in your request; that way, your assigned person will be able to choose what they feel most comfortable drawing.

I made a mistake in my sign-up form. Can I fix it?

answer ↓

Of course. Please refer to the “Sign-Ups” section of this thread for instructions on how to edit your form if you’ve made a mistake or if you’ve changed your mind about something. You have until the sign-up deadline (November 30th) to make changes to your form.

How are the assignments decided?

answer ↓

Via random number generator. I'm not participating in the exchange, so I have no reason to pair people with bias. But if you are concerned, feel free to send me a message and I will show you a screenshot of the generator page.

What if I'm assigned a person with a request that I don't feel comfortable doing?

answer ↓

Hopefully you won't be! After the assignments are generated, I will check each person's “will not do” lists and make sure that no one is assigned something that they aren't comfortable drawing. If this does happen, I will regenerate the list.
That being said, you must put everything that you won't draw in your sign-up form.
If you have an issue after you've been assigned, message me and I'll ask your recipient to add an additional request.

What if I can't finish my assignment in time?

answer ↓

You need to let me know ASAP via message. I don't hold grudges, I understand that things happen. Please just communicate.

What is a pinch hitter?

answer ↓

If a participant is unable to finish their artwork (or has stopped responding to my messages), a “pinch hitter” will be assigned to draw art for the person who is missing a gift. This is to ensure that everyone who participates receives a gift.
You can indicate in your sign-up form if you'd like to be a pinch hitter.
Depending on the numbers, pinch hitters may be asked to complete multiple drawings or none at all. Since these drawings are last-minute, I’m only expecting something like a headshot or refined sketch.
Pinch hitters will only be given 3 days to complete the needed artwork. This is a strict deadline. If you can’t finish something in 3 days, please don’t sign up to be a pinch hitter (no hard feelings).

Can I be a pinch hitter but not a participant?

answer ↓

Absolutely. Just indicate it in your sign-up form, and write “N/A’ for the wishlist question.

How will pinch hitters be assigned?

answer ↓

Via random number generator. If there are more pinch hitters than we need, then some pinch hitters will not be assigned.
However, if you are a pinch hitter but not a participant, you will be assigned first.
Please let me know ASAP if you want to drop out of pinch hitting.

Did you receive my message?

answer ↓

As a general rule of thumb, if I receive a message from you, I will reply back just to let you know that I got it. If you don’t receive a reply from me, it’s either because your message got lost or I haven’t read it yet. If I haven’t responded to you in a couple of days, feel free to resend the message.
