The eighth annual Dobby Swap is here! For those unfamiliar, Dobby Swap is our version of Secret Santa. The gifts are all accessible via AO, and the gift-exchange comes at the end of December so that everyone will have more time around the holidays. Check a previous year's swap!

Everyone who signs up will be given the name of another member, and will have about a month to create a gift. You'll (secretly!) submit your gift to the Dobby Swap team, who will then deliver it for you when all of the gifts are in.[1]

How to Participate

• Post in this thread to sign up!
• Please sign up by December 2
• When sign-ups end, you will receive a PM with your Dobby Swap
• Keep your swap a secret!
• Send your present to the Dobby Swap account by January 4th
• The Dobby Swap team will deliver the gifts when we have received all of them!
• Once you receive yours, you are free to share your gifts in this thread!

Gift Ideas

Pick one of these or do your own thing!

• Drawing of a character
• Avatar and/or signature images
• Photo manips or collages
• Polyvore sets
• Poems, songs, or stories about a member's characters
• Playlists/mixtapes
• Tumblr blogs

Reminders

Remember that gifts should not cost anything and should be something Dobby can deliver by PM!

If your Dobby Swap has a lot of characters, you can always choose to focus on just one or two. (But feel free to include all if them if you would like!) Have fun with it!

If you have questions about signing up, need help with your gift, or if something comes up before the deadline, feel free to reach out to the Dobby Swap organizers.

(FYI my active chars right now are Zia, Jai, Trudy, Lydie, & Jules).   

May I offer my services as standby, rather than the official list, this year?

Thank you guys for looking after Dobby once more.
