Frozen x Beauty & The Beast Yuletide Exchange 2024

It's happening! And sign-ups open soon, so mark your calendars.

Sign-Ups Open: Friday 9/13 (if not sooner)

Sign-Ups Close: Monday 10/7

Assignments Out: 10/8 (or as sooner)

Assignments Due: Monday 12/23

For those who don't know, the Yuletide Exchange is an annual event for Frozen and Beauty & the Beast fans to create and gift fan works to fellow Frozen and/or BATB creators. This means writers, artists, mood board enthusiasts, etc. How it works: everyone who would like to create/receive a fan work will sign up on AO3, stating what kind of gift you'd like to receive and what kind of work you'd like to create. More details to come!

❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹

I know it seems early considering it's only September, but we wanted to give the creators time to work on their creations. Fall is a busy time, what with October festivities and Nanowrimo, so we hope it will be enough time so more people are able to sign up. We're also not going to be hosting any other fall events this year, though @firawren is hosting a BATB event this month, so please message her for more details if you're interested. (BATB Week)

PLEASE REBLOG SO EVERYONE CAN GET READY TO PARTICIPATE!!! Please and thank you :)

DM me or co-mod @paigebstorey if you have any questions.

Always so much thought put into those little details! I love the foam and light on the sea.

Find an old treasure and renew its shine ✨

Let me tell you a short story about how it's never too late to comment on an "old" fic.

When I had one of my babies, a bunch of people brought me food that first week. It was wonderful!

Then, like 3 months later, someone brought me dinner out of the blue. They said they liked to do that because parents need support when their babies are 3 months old just as much as they need it when they're 3 days old. This was so special and appreciated!

This person didn't say to themselves, "It's too late to bring dinner now, it's been 3 months, it would be weird now." Because they knew it is never too late nor weird to be kind.

Let me say that again.

It is never too late nor weird to be kind.

My oldest kid is almost 16 years old now. If someone randomly brought me dinner now so I didn't have to cook tonight, I would worship them just as much as those people who brought me dinner 15 years ago.

Fanfic authors need your support when their fic is 15 years old just as much as they need it when it's 3 months old and just as they need it when it's 3 days old. There is literally never a time when it is too late to comment. Every nice comment is a gift and brings us joy.

So please go comment on someone's old fic today. Or bring someone dinner who's had a baby in the last 20 years. I guarantee neither of these recipients will think you're weird for supporting them.

Favourite Pairings…

Tagged by @annaofthenorthernlights - thank you, this is such a sweet game! I could fill it entirely with Frozen ships, but you know, variety and all that… 💜

Without naming them, post a gif of ten of your favourite ships (any media) and tag as many people to do the same.

That little ♥️ means so much to creators! It takes a lot of effort to create something and share it with you. We are real people, not AI. When you read a fic or enjoy an artwork, please take a moment to tap that little kudos/like button and you might just impact someone in a positive way more than you could imagine. Spread the love!

Is leaving kudos on fanfics not common courtesy anymore?

Something I've noticed on AO3 in the last two years is the lack of kudos and comments left on fanfics.

Fanfics have an increasing number of hits, but their kudos and comments remain minimal.

I understand that leaving comments is daunting, but kudos is the easiest thing you can do to show support and appreciation for an author.

Part of me wants to blame BookTok and the commercialized consumption of books.

Readers are more demanding and impatient for content, but they're quick to move on once a book is published. It's a constant demand for 'More, more, more' without appreciating and/or supporting authors. And these readers are now getting into fanfic.

I don't want to complain because it's not productive. But if you're new and getting into fanfic: Support writers.

Support means leaving kudos on AO3, and if you're able, leaving a comment. It's simple courtesy.

Wait? We’re already up to chapter 6?! It’s Pirate!Hans redemption-ish arc binge reading time!
