Because this is the Best Fandom You'll Ever Have (tm), we wanted to do a small, low pressure fic exchange. The word count is low, and there's plenty of time, and you probably know exactly what kind of fics whoever you get paired with will like.

What is a gift exchange? What do I do? How does this work?

First, you fill out an sign up form, with 2-4 requests for stories you'd like someone to write you, and one offer that includes things you'd like to write for someone else.

After sign ups close, we use a program to match your requests to someone's offers by character tags and pairings. Your offer is matched to someone else's requests.

You'll receive all of the requests for one user, and you have to pick one of those and write a 1000 word story for them.

When you finish, you'll post the story to this challenge, where it will be hidden from everyone except you until the reveal!

I'm trying to sign up, but it won't let me add a certain character or pairing. What do I do?

The system only allows you to add characters that are already part of it's tags. To work around this, simply put your character or pairing in the description field.

Sign ups start on Saturday, January 14th and end on Saturday, January 27th.

Once sign ups end, assignments will be made within one week.

You'll be required to write a story of at least 1000 words based on one or more of the assigned requests.

A draft will be required by April 8th, so that we know that everyone will be getting something.

The reveal date will be April 15th.

Requests:
Allowed fandoms include Baby-sitters Club and any spin offs, along with any crossover fandom you might want in the prompt.

One request must be gen fic.

One request must be regular series BSC.
