Sign-Ups for the 2020 SamSteve Small Gifts Exchange are officially open! Here’s a link to the Google Form for you to submit your wishes! You will also be able to specify your gift likes & dislikes, both as a creator and a receiver.

Not sure what to ask for? Here are some sample wishes:

“Art or podfic of anything I’ve written.”
“A cute set of SamSteve icons in blue & silver colors.”
“Song Prompt: “Find Someone Like You” by Snoh Aalegra.“
“Fic based on an art piece of mine.”
“Ice skating adventure.”
“SamSteve on the beach.”
“New Year’s Eve kiss.”
“Domestic SamSteve in the kitchen.”

For likes/DNW (Do Not Wants), you can be as vague or as detailed as you like, but remember that you're more likely to get what you want if you include some specifics. E.g. “I love banter and puns! Canon or AU settings are all fine. Trans Steve is a fave hc of mine. DNW kidfic or cats. Any rating is fine."

Be sure to check out our Info Post for gift requirements, content restrictions and other FAQs.

Sign-Ups will remain open until 9:00pm EST on Friday 16 October. Feel free to send the mods an ask on Tumblr, drop a comment on Dreamwidth, or send us an email (samstevesmallgifts at gmail.com) if you have a question.

Welcome to the second annual 2020 SamSteve Small Gifts Exchange, where fans of Sam Wilson & Steve Rogers’ relationship come together and swap creations. This is a low-stress gift exchange to celebrate the end of the year with a little bit of SamSteve love.

HOW IT WORKS

Each participant will sign up with a list of three potential wishes and their likes/dislikes for giving & receiving. The mod will pair everyone up, and each participant will create something based on one of their partner’s wishes. Keep your gift details hush-hush until reveals week, when everyone posts their gifts. Then we all bask in the glow of SamSteve content!

SCHEDULE

Sign-Ups: Friday 2 October - Friday 16 October
Assignments Sent: Monday 19 October
Check-In: Saturday 5 December
Sharing of Gifts: Saturday 26 December - Sunday 3 January

GIFT REQUIREMENTS

-Fics (min 750 words)
-Original Artwork
-Moodboards (min 6 images)
-Icons (min series of 5)
-Podfic (min 15 minutes)
-Fan Vid (min 2 minutes)
-Anything else of similar effort (we are open to suggestions!)

Remember, this is a small gifts exchange, so while there is no max, please keep your ambitions within the spirit of the fest!

WISH REQUIREMENTS

Each participant will be asked to submit three wishes for their partner to choose from. These can be anything: a word, a theme, a song, an image, etc. You can also wish for a gift based on one of your own past works: a podfic or translation of a fic, art based on a fic, remix or AU of a fic/art piece, fic inspired by an art piece, etc.

You’ll be asked to share your general likes/dislikes, as well as any rating preferences. You'll also be able to specify your preferences for gift-giving, including what you're willing and unwilling to gift.

FAQ

Do our wishes need to be holiday or winter themes? Nope! Your wishes can be focused on whatever themes you like.

Are there any age requirements? This is a 16+ event, and if you are under 18, you will not be allowed to ask for or receive any gifts spicier than a T rating.

Are there any content restrictions? Yes, there are a few things to keep in mind, both while creating your wish list and committing to creating your gift:

-All wishes and gifts should be focused on SamSteve in a romantic or queerplatonic relationship.
-Side pairings are fine, polyamory is fine, but SamSteve is the focus of this event and therefore should not be sidelined so that another ship can have the spotlight. If you're not sure what we mean by this, please ask.
-No HTP, sympathetically portrayed Hydra, or romantically portrayed noncon.
-Please be mindful in portraying characters of color respectfully (check out this awesome resource page from the

SamWilsonBirthdayBang for more info.)
-No sexual relationships between adult and minor characters.
-All of AO3’s major content warnings (graphic depictions of violence, major character death, rape/non-con, underage sex) are by request only. If your partner didn’t specifically ask for it, don’t create it.

How do we share our gifts? You may share your gifts on the SamSteve Small Gifts AO3 Collection, Dreamwidth, or Tumblr, or you may share it privately with your partner. Details will be forthcoming as we draw closer to the due dates.

I have another question! No problem, we’d love to hear from you! Send us an ask on Tumblr or comment on this Dreamwidth post, and we’ll get right back to you.
