We’re still in the anonymous phase and creators will be revealed in a week. Start speculating what I’m responsible for. :D

The May the 4th fanworks exchange finished up last week. Between allergies, storms causing headaches and having to reserve my screen time for a client whose cover I've been doing, I have not been able to give substantive comments to my gifters, but I've at least told them that, and I'm going to link them here to drive a little traffic to them. :) (Works I did will be in a different post.)

I received FIVE wonderful gifts, one artwork and four stories! Two for The Bad Batch, one for Rebels, and one for a crossover between the two.

May the 4th Star Wars exchange is open! Noms and signups both open right now, running simultaneously. Go forth, nominate, and sign up!

The May the 4th Be With You fanworks exchange signups are now open. (I was sick when nominations opened, so didn't announce it then.) Check the schedule and quick links on the DW comm for aid in navigating the giant list o'tags. (And don't be scared off by all the EU/Legends/games nominations: people are optimistically gunning for their rarepairs, but the vast majority of the resulting fics are movies and TV, and there's plenty of requests for them.)
