FFXIV Swap 2: Enchanted Balls and Haunted Halls!

The time has come - FFXIV Swap #2 is upon us! There are some key differences from #1, for the sake of making a better (and more organized) event!

This time (and for all future swaps, most likely), there's a host of themes for you to choose from! Our second swap's themes are: Masquerade, All Saint's Wake or Autumn! Who doesn't love a midnight, mysterious masked ball? Or perhaps some harrowing haunts in the spirit of the spooky season? Or mayhap you just love the colors and aesthetics of fall?

Signups are on our Discord server exclusively! To sign up, you must join the Discord server and react beneath the announcement post to have your name added to the list! Link here: https://discord.gg/KskCdHT5

What is this, anyway? FFXIV Swap is an event in which you will be assigned a partner (at random) and will make some manner of gift featuring their FFXIV WoL/OC! Gifts in swap #1 ranged from gpose and writing and art all the way to decks of cards, drink recipes and custom weapons. The creativity of our community knows no bounds!

Changes from Swap #1: We will now have a deadline. This was a hard decision to make, but it's just too hard to have people waiting months on end for a gift when they finish in the first few weeks. The deadline is still plenty generous, giving two months to complete your gift, making the deadline for this swap December 3rd!

Rules!

FFXIV Only! I'm sure your OCs for other media are awesome but this is a XIV specific event (and our server is likewise XIV specific)

Any type of gift is allowed, so long as it features your partner's OC in some manner! No, you can't choose what kind of gift you're getting and no we will not be pairing people based on what kind of gifts they want (this isn't a free art trade).

Any skill level allowed! So long as your gift comes from the heart and you put your effort into it.

Gifter/creator chooses the theme they'd like to use - no, you can't request which theme your gift will be.

Likewise, all gifts must in some way associate with one of the chosen themes! You can do more than one theme if you'd like but only one is required.

Only one OC unless your gifter says otherwise!

No discriminating for/against mods. If you use them, keep in mind your gifter may not, and you cannot require them to download anything they don't want to create your gift.

If you participated in swap #1 and have not finished your gift by the start of swap #2 (Oct 1), you will not be able to participate in swap #2 (exceptions to this rule apply! I know many of you had temporary setbacks or weren't able to finish yet due to issues with your partners. If you want to participate but have not finished yet, please contact me and we'll look into it!)

Discord only! Tumblr is too difficult to organize on, so to participate, you MUST be a member and sign up on the FFXIV Swap discord linked above. You do NOT have to be social but you do have to be able to be contacted on discord!! This also means having a Tumblr blog is NOT required this time!

Have fun! Further, less important rules are on discord.

Sign ups close on Sept 30, and pairings will be randomly generated and posted on Oct 1! We hope to see you there!

Clara had almost dozed off when a warmth crept over and into the covers.

"I'm sorry I've come so late" the voice came softly from behind. Clara rolled over into Haurchefant's chest. She blinked tiredly before giving a soft bleary smile.

"You came at all, and for that I am blessed." Clara sighed as she situated herself into a more comfortable position. She looked up at him. His eyes were underlined with dark moons, his shoulders high with stiffness. Clara gently pressed her forehead to his own.

"I love this part best. What time we do get to spend is most enjoyable." Clara hummed sweetly.

I wish you didn't have to go, that you could just stay here with me, like this." He chuckled, his hot breath played across her horns and her hair.

"I can't, it would be selfish of me, to stay here while others suffer when I could help."

"I wish we could be selfish." He grumbled as his arm slipped across her back rubbing little circles across it.

"And where would that leave us?"

"I could say for sure, but. I know I'd still be the happiest man in all of Ishgard. I'd be at your side." Clara's nose crinkled at this before she gave into laughter.
