Description:

This swap comes in time to inspire writers who might be creating slash for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge or any other fanfiction or fanart projects.

Step 1: In the comments, post about what project(s) you need some inspiration about. Name the fandom(s) and pairing(s).

Step 2: Once partners are assigned, check out your partner's project. Then think of something suitably fandomy or slashy (or both) to send to your partner to give them a little inspiration. It must relate directly to their project.

Example: if I were working on a BBC Sherlock fanfiction with Sherlock/Watson, an appropriate gift could be a handcrafted bookmark with the two characters on it and a quote about writing.

Another example: if I were working on an Avengers story, you might send a pack of Marvel Avengers pens or pencils that have my favorite slash pairing characters on them.

Yet another example: if I were working on a Kirk/Spock story, you could send me a small booklet or minizine of the best Kirk/Spock fanart you can find--or even draw some yourself.

Got the idea?

Think about your partner's project and what might help inspire your partner to move forward with it! You can buy or create the item you send, but try to make it of good quality and worth about $3-$5. You may send more than one item if you wish (especially if the items are small), but one is the minimum requirement. Be aware when you sign up that you may get a partner with a fandom/pairing that isn't your favorite; you may need to ask your partner follow-up questions.

Flaking is not inspiring, so none is allowed!

My main project for the fall is a Marvel fanfiction for a Hurt/Comfort Big Bang (I'm not used to writing long things; I could use all the inspiration I can get). The main pairing is Wolverine/Captain America/Iron Man with secondary pairings of Clint/Coulson, Wolverine/Captain America, and Captain America/Iron Man.

I'd love anything Marvel/Avengers that have to do with those pairings. Or anything that would inspire me to write good hurt/comfort (Avengers Band-Aids, small tissue packs/box decorated with the characters, a little first aid booklet with a Marvel bookmark, etc.). I write everything from G to NC-17 with all sorts of kinks, so don't worry about offending me with whatever small item you might send.

Okay, I will give this a try. I hope I get someone easy. I have no idea what to send. I will be writing a slash fanfic for NaNo. The main pairing in this story is Lord Sauron an Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountain. It is set in Valinor, and Sauron is confessing to Lord Manwe, telling him about the years Ecthelion lived with him. Ecthelion is sleeping with just about everyone in Valinor, except the one he really wants to be with, Glorfindel. Or "that blonde idiot" as Sauron callse him. I would like anything with these characters on them. Think outside the box. Lord Sauron's favorite food is apples. So you could send me a nice blank recipe book with an apple them, for example. A cute flute from the dollar store for ecthelion would be nice.

I currently have a mountain of wips.

The fic I want to finish is a Thorin/Bilbo from The Hobbit secret baby (actually a dragon) fic that is a complete AU from the Battle of the Five Armies. It's super angsty except for the parts that are funny, touching, or porny. : )

I also have about a million Stiles/Derek from Teen Wolf fics that I would love to finish. Werewolves are my favorite things. Most of these are porny, action/adventure or AU.

I should mention that I love my Middle Earth elves, but I am not a big Hobbit or Dwarf fan.
