Among FK-friendly gift exchanges, the annual Trick or Treat Exchange ([community profile] trickortreatex) is CURRENTLY IN NOMINATIONS. In fact, someone else has already added Forever Knight to the tag set, with Nick and LaCroix. I plan to add more characters in the next couple of days.

Trick or Treat is a Halloween exchange. However, stories can be either "trick" (i.e. spooky/dark in some way) or "treat" (lighter or romantic). The minimum length is only 300 words, though people do often writer longer stories. As the mod puts it, "On Halloween children typically get small pieces of candy from adults. Based on this it is only appropriate that a Halloween based exchange have a lower requirement than other exchanges."

Nominations close on 8 September. Sign-ups are 11-18 September. Assignments are due on October 24, with reveals on Halloween. Author reveals are a week later.

You may nominate up to 6 fandoms, with up to 6 characters each. The tag set is here for you to look at, so you can see what other fandoms have already been nominated. This is also the page you use to add your own nominations (button at the top right).

Once sign-ups begin, you may request 3-10 fandoms with 1-10 characters. Of course, you need only write one story for your assigned recipient. However, many people write treats. Everyone's requests are visible so you can read them for inspiration.

I took part in Trick or Treat last year; but, although I offered FK, no one else requested it.   :(   Maybe better luck this year?
