Frequently Asked Questions
Must I choose three things from these lists?
You should have three IDEAS, SETTINGS and Objects/Creatures/Spells/Potions but they don't have to come from these lists. If you want an AU where Rose is a mermaid or a work where WizardingReverend!Scorpius falls for Rose when she's contacts him to officiate her wedding then include that in your ideas.
So I still have to have three IDEAS, SETTINGS and Objects/Creatures/Spells/Potions?
Yes. This is done as a courtesy for the gifter so they have their choice of what to create for you.
How specific do I have to be with my request?
As specific as you you want to be without writing the story yourself. If you choose “Other Scenario” and only say “something with merpeople” be prepared to receive a work that mentions merpeople but is not the Mermaid!Rose AU you had hoped to get.
That said, choosing/suggesting three IDEAS, SETTINGS and Objects/Creatures/Spells/Potions is all you need to do. Anything else is at your discretion. If you want, you can also tell your gifter that they may combine your IDEAS as they please. (WizardingReverend!Scorpius falls for Mermaid!Rose when she contacts him to officiate her wedding.)
Wait... does this mean I have to include EVERYTHING my recipient asks for in my gift?
No. Again, we ask for three to five IDEAS, SETTINGS and Objects/Creatures/Spells/Potions to make it easier on the gifter. You only need to choose ONE IDEA, SETTING and Object/Creature/Spell/Potion to include in your gift for them. Including any more than that is your choice.
I have a question that isn't mentioned here.
