You are only required to do one of the requests in your assignment in order to complete the assignment.

You are welcome to do more than one request or multiple fills for the same request, if you have time and interest (optional; not required). :)
 

::General Requirements::

Special note: please do not talk publicly about what you're working on until after works are live on AO3! Some of the fun is the element of surprise, after all (finding out who created something for you and which of your requests they chose to do). :D

These guidelines apply to all fills, regardless of type.

• original work previously unpublished
• finished/polished quality
• standalone (not part of a larger work or series)
• complete (no “chapter 1” or “tbc”— the whole story should be told)
• English language only (or, in the case of art/comics/manips, no words)

::Requirements by type::

Art

• minimum of 600px per dimension; no maximum (NOTE: no minimum for Party Favors fills)
• traditional and digital media
• color or b&w
• still/static or animated/moving image

Comics

• minimum of 3 panels; no maximum (NOTE: no minimum for Party Favors fills)
• color or b&w

Fic

•  minimum of 1000 words; no maximum (NOTE: no minimum for Party Favors fills)

Manips

::Posting Your Fill / Dropping Out::

Log in to AO3 and go to your Assignments page. Find the assignment marked "2014 Tachibana Makoto Birthday Exchange." There will be two buttons:

• To post your fill, click "Fulfill." This will take you to the page where you can post your work, with the challenge and your recipient's name already filled in.
• To post a Party Favors gift to the collection, go here for instructions with screencaps.
• To drop out, click "Default." The event coordinator will get a message and send the assignment to a pinch hitter.

If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment here or send an email.

Thank you and happy creating!
