Claims are now open for the 2013 Oz Magi holiday gift exchange! A big welcome to all of the fresh faces we've got participating this year -- it's always nice to see some new prags around here. ;)
Remember that if you made a Wish, you must also claim one! However, you do not need to have submitted a Wish in order to claim one -- some people just like the writing/creating part of this fest. That's cool by us!
If you're just coming across this community for the first time today and see a Wish you'd like to fulfill? Thought you wouldn't have time to participate, but now realize you really love a prompt? Honestly, no one minds if a Wish gets more than one fulfiller, so go ahead and send in a claim if you're feeling inspired. We'll love you for it!
In order to claim a Wish:
Please comment here with the numbers of the THREE Wishes you'd most like to fulfill, in order of preference.
Remember, you're only fulfilling -one- request in the Wish pair -- so three separate Wish numbers, please. If you truly have no preference, feel free to note that. You do not need to specify which request of the two you prefer -- for your assigned Wish, you can fulfill either request. You don't need to copy and paste the text of the Wishes, just the numbers are fine.
I will do my best to give everybody their top pick, but please let's keep the spirit of generosity in mind and try to be happy with whichever Wish you get -- it will still be one of your own choosing, after all!
Your claim should look something like this:
Claim #1:
Claim #2:
Claim #3:
Comments will be screened so only you and I can see what you've written. Feel free to edit your choices at any point before the deadline of midnight anywhere, Sunday, November 3rd, 2013. Assignment notifications will be sent out by Tuesday, November 5th, 2013.
Things to Remember:
→ Not every Wish might get claimed in the initial phase, but please don't worry! Every year we've held Oz Magi, every Wish has been claimed by the end, and our dropout rate has been impressively low.
→ Please keep in mind that by claiming a Wish, you are promising to do your very best to fulfill that Wish! A story need only be 500 words, an art request 3 icons or one banner, wallpaper, or illustration/graphic -- we'd much rather have you meet the minimum than default because you got too ambitious and ran out of time. You will have nearly two months to fulfill your Wish, but please account for other holiday obligations and activities you may be participating in.
→ Stories/art are due by midnight (anywhere) on Sunday, December 22, 2013. If you know you will not be able to fulfill your Wish for any reason, and you need to drop out, please do everyone the courtesy of letting me know as soon as possible so that I may find a pinch-hitter to step in.
→ Contact me with questions at any time: trillingstar [@] gmail [dot] com or PM me on LJ/DW.

Pairing/Character(s): Miguel Alvarez/Ryan O’Reily.
Keyword/Prompt Phrase: "You know, alone is alone. It's the way I've been my whole fucking life. I just don't belong in this world." Miguel finally finds somewhere he belongs, and Ryan finally starts thinking he’s been given redemption for everything thing that happened in the past.
Canon/AU/Either: Either - post-series canon could work, or maybe an AU where Miguel is a street kid and meets Ryan. Or anything, really, I’d just like some angsty Miguel falling in love.

Story/Art/Either: Story (but wouldn’t turn down art!).
Request 2:
Pairing/Character(s): Chris Keller/Tobias Beecher
Keyword/Prompt Phrase: “I am worthless. As bad as they come, and to have someone keep loving me, no matter how bad…”
Canon/AU/Either: Canon, but wouldn’t turn down an AU.

Special Requests: So, remember that scene in Junkyard Dawgz where Chris ties Toby to a chair? What would be really nice for the holidays is a kinky sex scene.

Request 2:
Pairing/Character(s): Shirley Bellinger/Simon Adebisi
