Who can participate?
ANYONE interested in creating/receiving Nirvana in Fire 1 &/or 2 based fanwork is welcome to participate! Our goal is simply to have fun creating and exchanging NIF fanworks! If that’s something that appeals to you, come play!
Be aware that spoilers will abound, so if you haven’t finished the series, proceed at your own risk.

For anyone who is interested but has limited time/bandwidth and might not be able to commit to the exchange, you can still participate in the fun!

+ HELP OUT as pinch-hitter, a beta-reader and/or a c-picker (just like Britpickers but for Chinese elements). SIGN UP HERE

+ CREATE TREATS!
Once the prompt list is revealed for public viewing, anyone, signed-up or not, can create something(no minimum!) based on any of the prompts that inspire them and post them under our NIFTREATS2020 collection. More cake is more cake!

What kind of works are welcome?
This exchange welcomes ANY AND ALL CREATIVE MEDIUMS. Any fan, no matter their skillset, is welcome to participate.
Ideas of mediums include but are not limited to:
Fanfic, Poetry, Fan Translations, Podfic, Fanart, Crafts (embroidery, modelling, cosplay, dolls, jewelry, etc), Manips, Fanvids, Filk, Gifsets, Fan Music, Games, etc.

What’s the minimum requirement?
Because ANY medium is welcome, it’s hard to put a clear measure on this. We will therefore operate on the honor system and trust you to use your judgement.
Your general guideline is to create a completed original transformative fanwork for your giftee, of a quality that you would be happy to receive yourself.
As a general guideline:

+500 words minimum for fic
+5 minutes minimum for podfic
In order to increase accessibility, we also ask that any images-based works please include an alt-text, or written description for screen-readers.
