Sticky: Guardian Wishlist 2024 - Rules/FAQ

A gifting fest for Guardian and related fandoms: guardian-wishlist.dreamwidth.org

guardian_wishlist is a Dreamwidth-based gifting fest along the lines of

fandomtrees,

fandomgiftbox, etc., but specifically for Guardian (novel, drama, and RPF) and other canons starring the main Guardian actors, with gifts revealed for the Reunion Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) on 17 September.

How it works

Participants complete the sign-up template with a list of requests and prompts, as well as any DNWs. Sign-ups without Dreamwidth accounts must supply an email address, either in their sign-up or in a screened comment on the Ask a Mod post.
Mods post each person's requests in a separate post on guardian_wishlist. Comments are screened.
Anyone can write or make gifts for any sign-up, right up to reveals. There are no assignments, and you don't have to be signed up to participate in gift-giving. You don't need a Dreamwidth or AO3 account.
At reveals, mods unscreen comments and reveal the collection.

Guardian Wishlist 2025 is coming!

Next month, Guardian Wishlist 2025 will open for business at

guardian_wishlist!

This gifting fest runs along the lines of

fandomtrees and its ilk, but is specifically for Guardian (show, novel, and RPF) and related fandoms (main actors' other roles). It works like this:

People sign up with a wishlist of prompts and things they'd like to receive. Requests can include any media, including transformative works like fic, art, icons, vids, podfic, and also picspams and meta, translation advice, related music links, ~~lollipops, dried fish snacks, powerful ancient artefacts~~ anything.
Anyone can write, draw, record, or otherwise create gifts for any sign-up. Gifts can be posted directly in comments (which are screened until reveals) or to an AO3 collection. Gift posting continues right up until reveals. There are no minimums for gifts.

It's been really fantastic the last four years, and we're looking forward to another round to celebrate this year's Reunion Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) - so start thinking about what kinds of things you want to ask for. (Don't hold back! Your wishlist could prompt someone to finally make the thing they've been meaning to make for ages - or something they hadn't realised they were dying to put together!)

The Mid-Autumn Festival is late this year, so our schedule starts at the end of August. We'll be back closer to the date with updated rules and guidelines (all announcements and such also crossposted on

sid_guardian), but we wanted to let you know the schedule now:

28 August: sign-ups open
5 September: first wishlists posted
15 September: sign-ups close
16 September: final wishlists posted
6 October (Reunion Festival): gifts revealed

Check out our participation poll over at

sid_guardian!

And if you have any questions, suggestions or other feedback, please comment here or there, or PM

trobadora or

china_shop.

Thirty-six hours to Guardian Wishlist reveals!

If all goes well, it's only about thirty-six hours until

guardian_wishlist reveals!

As of now, there are 31 gifts across the 19 wishlists, in a range of media. Three wishlists still need a gift, so take a look and see if you can help out! And please spread the word if you can!

Either way there's still time, so regardless of which wishlist inspires you, keep going if you feel like creating another gift or two! You can keep posting right up until reveals (or even after, if you don't quite finish in time). The spreadsheet includes a gift tally, and all wishlists are tagged for fandom and media!

Reveals will happen no earlier than 7am UTC on Tuesday, 17 September. (What time is that for me? | Countdown)

Thanks so much, everyone, for being part of this! You're amazing! We're nearly there!

About three and a half days left till reveals, and we're excited to see the gifts rolling in! There are only 4 wishlists without gifts!

If you feel like making a little something, especially for the needier wishlists, please check out the spreadsheet!

And this would be a great time to reblog our Tumblr post, or post your own reminder to other platforms, if you're up for that. We have a reminder graphic on the promo post.

Thanks so much, everyone! We're cheering you on! *\o/*

All gifts must be posted in or linked in comments. If you like, you can post transformative works to the AO3 collection.
