Biggles Secret Santa?
Nov. 27th, 2022 10:56 amI was kind of joking with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rachelmanija and scioscribe about doing our own fic exchange in December by just writing for each other (and kind of not joking), but then I got to thinking, after FIAB more or less turned into a very successful mini-Biggles exchange within the bigger exchange ...
Are enough people interested to pull off an extremely last-minute Biggles Secret Santa?
I'm really tempted to do it if I have just three or four people in addition to myself, because it's not a fandom that has a large number of exclusive pairings, so I don't think it would be hard to match.
Given the short turnaround, I'm thinking it would be an *extremely* low minimum, similar to Chocolate Box or Trick or Treat - 300-500 words, so you absolutely COULD write something longer, but you would only have to write (and in return, would only be guaranteed) something short.
I don't want to overlap exactly with Yuletide, as that seems like a bad idea, so maybe either reveal a few days before Christmas (maybe the solstice?) or give everyone an extra week after Christmas and reveal on Jan. 1. Input welcome.
I've been running SSRC for enough years that I think I could pull this together fast and manage it competently. It WOULD be a really tight writing schedule, only about 3-4 weeks depending on when reveals are. But it would also be a low enough word-count minimum that it hopefully could be knocked out in an evening.
Give me your thoughts!
