Hi there, finding_jay, I'm memorysdaughter and I'll be your Secret Santa this year. Irony, right?

Since you did such a bang-up job with my gift last year, I felt totally compelled to give you a kick-ass gift. (Can I say kick-ass?) I hope you like it.

Title: Postcards
Summary: Some people love items - River loves cue cards.
Words: 6,725
Images: 12
Note: This posting includes the teaser gift. (It makes more sense this way, I promise.)

Title: (Can you show me where it hurts)
Subject: Simon Tam
Notes/Warnings: Made for wildannuette @ serenity_santa who noted things like dark!Simon and (possible) happy endings but mostly wanted a surprise.
So, surprise!!
Here's something different. It's kinda like a gift basket with an assortment of goodies. It includes a mix with 6 songs (links, lyrics and coverart), 5 icons, 4 drabbles and a wallpaper. It's all kind of angsty but ends with Serenity riding off into the sunset flying out into the black. I tried to start and end with hope and while I focused on Simon, I threw some Mal in as well. Unfortunately, no Jayne. He was being uncooperative and just wasn't angsty enough. ;)

Hi all! Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. We've already had two great gifts posted to the comm and this is just a reminder for everyone else!

Gifts can be posted from now and until 30th January. If you are having difficulty with your assignment or feel you won't be able to deliver, please contact me before then so I can organise pinch hitters.

Don't forget to comment to the posts on the comm and make everyone's hard work worthwhile! :D

Hope you like your fic! And the little bit of media that comes with it...

Hi there everyone! Thanks for participating in serenity_santa this year and welcome back to our repeat Santas! It's great to see you.

I've begun to send out the assignments and the rest will follow in about 8 hours after I've had some sleep :)

I've tried my best to match everyone up, but if you feel I've given you too difficult an assignment - please contact me immediately. We can then try to change things around. I want to make sure that everyone gets their gifts!

Thanks again for participating and ... let the creations begin! :D

Hi all! It's last call for sign-ups for this year's exchange. If you want to join - now is the time!

The first lot of emails will be sent out tomorrow. So start flexing those fingers and be ready! :D

Name: divka
Email address: I'll pass it on to the mods.
What I want: I love Wash, and I love Kaylee--and I've recently fallen in love with Kaylee/Wash. Jayne's always amusing, too. Fic would be wonderful (any rating--I'm an adult ;p), icons would be great. I've never had anyone make me a vid, but that would be pretty cool too.
What I can do: icons, wallpaper, any sorts of graphics and fanmixes. I can do any character or pairing--I'm open-minded.
What I absolutely can't do: I can't write fic. You really don't want me to try. And I've never made a vid, so that might be challenging.
Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes, of course.

Name - Hellbound Hyperion

Email address where we can send your assignment - PanzerJumper@gmail.com

What I want Kaylee, Simon, and Kaylee/Simon. Icons, wallpapers, banners, fics, whatever you can do. Particularly want some Kaylee stuff - I love her. :)

What I can do Any kind of fics, any character, any style, any whatevs. I'll do it.

What I absolutely can't do Graphics and vids. I'm terrible at the visual stuff, just let me write please! :(

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Of course! :D

Name - Steplianna

Email address where we can send your assignment - steplianna@hotmail.com

What I want Fic. I would LOVE a Jayne/Inara fic where it takes them through their journey from the show to when they got and decided to be together and how that all played out. OR a Jayne/Saffron fic of a similar nature. Staying in character is important to me and if a romance fic can't be done, I would be just as happy with a less than character perfect PWP of either pairing.

What I can do Fic. I can do Jayne paired with pretty much anyone other than Simon, Book, and Wash (and a pre-BDM Zoe). I specialize in Jayne/Inara and Jayne/River, though.

I am very comfortable with slash as well as het and can do G --> NC-17. I am horrific when writing Wash or Simon and I can't pair Book with anyone in a way that would let me respect him in the morning.

What I absolutely can't do Graphics, Tamcest, Mal/Inara, Wash, Simon/?

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution?Yes or No - Unfortunately, no.

What I want Fic or graphics would be awesome. My fave ship is Mal/River, but I'll love anything except Tamcest or Mal/Inara.
What I can do Fic of any sort.
What I absolutely can't do Graphics, Tamcest, Mal/Inara, Rayne (I just can't get Jayne to sound right).
Are you willing to provide a backup contribution?Yes or No - Yes

Thanks so much!

What I want: Anything, really. I'm not really a huge fan of Simon/Kaylee and my favorite pairing is Mal/Simon, but really almost any pairing works for me (or no pairing, if you'd like)! I don't like dark stuff or stuff that's too full of angst, I kinda prefer happy endings. I adore music and am always looking for new tunes, so a fanmix would be shiny!

What I can do: I would prefer to make graphics (icons mostly) or a fanmix. I might be persuaded to do a vid, but I've got a few vid commitments already and wouldn't want to have to back out. I might even consider a combo-type thing to include graphics and a drabble. For graphics, I could do just about any character/pairing.

What I absolutely can't do: Write a full fic or write any NC-17 (although I love to read it!)

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Sure!

Name: Hannah/an_ardent_rain

Email address where we can send your assignment: OboeHJD@aol.com

What I want: A River/Jayne vid to Frightened Rabbit's "Keep Yourself Warm" or a fic featuring them that is the most believable, in-character, heart-wrenchingly real, gritty thing you can write - not angst for the sake of angst, though, I just want something that really grabs me and won't let go (if that makes sense). I also love Kaylee/Simon and Zoe/Wash - humor's generally what I prefer if it's either of those. Mal/Jayne and Mal/Inara are both okay, but not my favorites. I'm not a huge fan of the Mal/River pairing, but I do like the dynamics between them, so if you wanted to write a fic with them, nothing more than hints of the romantic, please. I really love the Tam siblings, so any graphics with them would be great, too. I don't care about the rating, really, so smut is fine if you wanted to write that. And any graphics - icons, wallpapers, banners - are great. An animated mood theme would be wonderful. Basically... anything would be great, I'm not terribly picky.

What I can do: I'm best at fic, and I'd prefer to stay in the R or lower range, so nothing outrageously kinky. I can do graphics, as well, though, they just aren't my strongest suit. I'm very good at fanmixes, and I really enjoy doing those.

What I absolutely can't do: I don't like writing Simon/River (or any incest, actually) romantic pairings, and unfortunately I can't do vids.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes, I can if it's needed.

Name: gylzgirl (Tricia)
Email address where we can send your assignment: gylzgirl at att dot net
What I want: I would like some Wash/Kaylee fic. Preferably post BDM (Zoe died. Wash lived.). The higher the rating the better :) I would also be happy with a Wash/Kaylee vid instead.
What I can do: Probably best with something Kaylee-centric. I could definitely write Mal/Kaylee or Wash/Kaylee. I'd be willing to give Jayne/Kaylee a go too.
What I absolutely can't do: No Book pairings. It would depend on the character whether I could do a dark fic or cruel fic.
Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? I'm doing a couple of other secret Santa fics in other fandoms so I don't think I'll have time, sorry!

Name: rocketgirl/Caryn

Email address: rocket_girl_2@yahoo.com

What I want: I'll be happy with pretty much anything, but my favorite ships are Mal/Simon, Mal/Inara, and Simon/River. Kudos for any kind of kink you put in--I'm also a fan of dark!characters, so if you could do that, that would be sweet.

What I can do: Write/make icons.

What I absolutely can't do: River/Jayne is a ship I've always had a problem with, so it's probably not a good idea to ask me to do that. Hardcore smut is also a bad idea for this writer. Other than that, I'm willing to try anything.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes.

Name: Ami Ven (or, Katie)

Email address: scruffycaptain@hotmail.com

What I want: Zoe/Wash, any medium, preferrably happy and/or ignoring the movie.

What I can do: write. I'm good at drabbles, but I can do longer, multi-part, or parallel structure, if you like

What I absolutely can't do: visuals- I can't make graphics or vids. I'll give any pairing or genre of righting a try, though.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes.

Name Jay

Email address j.marguerite@gmail.com

What I want I'd love anything to do with River- any pairing, no pairing, any sort of media. A crossover with the Stargate 'verse or Terminator would be fantastic, but anything set in the Firefly 'verse is just as awesome. Look below at what I can do, and use that as what I'd like- they often coincide. I'd like to see River happy- interpret that as you wish.

What I can do I can do fic, fanmixes, icons, wallpapers, moodthemes and various sorts of graphics. I love writing River and Kaylee. I have no problem with most kinks and most pairings. I can write BDSM, Tamcest, pre-during-post series, slash, femslash, het, gen... I'll give anything a go.

What I absolutely can't do I can't do vids. Like I said above, I'm fine with most kinks, except anything really violent. I have problems writing Kaylee/Simon and Zoe/Wash, but I can give them a go. There's very little I won't write.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? I'm going to have to say no. My work roster is all over the place and is often changing. I like being able to work on my contribution and I feel I won't be able to give it justice if I'm working 40+ hours.

Name: Sarah

Email address where we can send your assignment: memorysdaughter@gmail.com

What I want: Anything to do with River. Although let's qualify that - no femslash or Tamcest. Last year (not to brag) I got a wonderful combination of fics and pics. It was awesome. But I'm really not particular - fics, movies, fanmixes, icons, etc., etc. I love this community and I am so glad to be a part of it again this year.

What I can do: Fic! And fanmixes.

What I absolutely can't do: I cannot make movies or icons or other graphics. I will not write Tamcest or really smutty stuff or anything where anyone has sex with Shepherd Book.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Yes

Name: Jacqui

Email address: sketchywallflowr@yahoo.com

What I want: I'm a sucker for a good vid and anything Simon/Mal. But I can take anything, as long as it's creative and not really "fluff". Any pairing is fine, or at least I have no opposition to one. If you can write an interesting and believeable pair, all the better.

What I can do: Fic is my strong suit. I can do icons (not gifs) as well, but writing is my prowess. I can do any pairing, slash/femmeslash/het/kinky/violent/anything.

What I absolutely can't do: Vids. I just don't have the technology.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Absolutely!

Name: slashmarks is good, or Leo

Email address where we can send your assignment: rsvampiress@aim.com

What I want: femslash involving River. I don't care much about the media, though fic is preferred.

What I can do: fic. I can write smut, though I'm not terribly practiced at it.

What I can't do: any other media, basically. And please don't ask me to write any pairings involving Jayne.

Are you willing to provide a backup contribution? Sorry, not so much.
