fandomgiftbox was supposed to open today, but will hopefully open on Sunday, because many giftboxes are still short of gifts.

me: let me go poke needy giftbox sheet again just in case I missed something I can write
me: oh hey I can write that one!
me: —oh wait that sounds familiar
giftbox: yep you wrote this back in June

Thanks for the heads up. I am still polishing what I am writing and could use the extension :) My gifts count on AO3 ticked up by one a whiiiile back, but nothing is public. So something is waiting for me when reveals happen.

[alexseanchai]

if I have any gifts in the AO3 collection, they're Original Work; it's never occurred to me to keep track of my gift count, though. but also my giftbox was never on the needy list, so there's at least two things for me somewhere and have been for at least weeks.

I'm just bothered that there's literally nothing I can do with the needy giftbox sheet except make sure both of someone's gifts come from me. and that seems kinda unfair to that someone, you know?

[olivermoss]

I don't actively keep track, but mine is a low number and I just happened to notice.

At least people are getting things :) I wish I'd done a lot more but my life has been chaos. I usually do a ton for fandom stockings. Only one fandom I write/draw for showed up on the needy list.

yeah, I did two and a half fills.

(the half was "recs don't count as gifts under these rules, and I have no idea where to begin vidding this song into an actual-by-these-rules gift even had I any confidence vidding software exists that I can use without crashing my laptop or tearing my hair out now that Windows Movie Maker is pining for the fjords, but it would never have occurred to me that this person might want this song in their life had they not put that not!fandom in their giftbox wants. I'm link them the song in the comments of their most recent public post!")

…two is not a big number.

Most of the giftboxes are asking for fandoms I haven't got a clue on. Boo.

[alexseanchai]

yup

there's one Harry Potter and one Supernatural on the needy list that I might could fill maybe? but I wouldn't feel confident doing so without a bunch of canon review? and I haven't touched either canon in years and I don't much want to either! and the Harry Potter one, I'd have to either snapshot the AU somehow or write an epic, and uh

neither of those sounds like a good plan
