Please remember that this year, with us sending out a survey to help with matching, we need more information about both what you like and what you make. Feel free to include links etc. When we send out the survey, it will ask you for the names of people you would love to receive craft from, those you'd like to make craft for, and those you're not a compatible match with. These surveys will be private to the mods only.
Name: We don’t need your real name right now. We'll ask for that when we get your address for your crafter.
Email: PLEASE make sure it’s one that you check regularly. There are a few times throughout the fest that we will need to get a hold of you via email.
Things you love: We need to know what hobbies, interests and fandoms make you happy. Please be specific as you can, from favorite color, favorite character, favorite song, etc etc...You don’t want a Gryffindor scarf if you’re in Slytherin now do you? Or let's say you put that one of your interests is horses, but you are terrified of unicorns, you wouldn’t want any of those showing up on an embroidered thing, would you? Also, if you don’t want fandom related things, or only want fandom related things, let us know that too. Same goes for interests and hobbies.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: Allergies--we need to know all the things you can’t have from food allergies to scents and fibers. Postal restrictions--are there things your country won’t let be sent through the mail? Sometimes this differs if the packages are sent internationally or within the same country. Simple Do Not Wants--This is the place to put things you just don’t like, crafts you really don’t want to receive. It's too hot for woollens? Don’t want to receive the same type of craft that you make? This is the place to tell us.
What kind of crafter are you? What are you willing to gift? Are you a potter or a woodworker? A knitter or a junk journaller? Do you dabble in a bunch of things? Are the things connected by medium? If so, are there things you DON’T do? This is a chance to talk about the crafts you love to do.
What country do you live in? and Are you willing to ship internationally? These two go together. If you live outside the USA, and can't ship internationally for whatever reason, we might still be able to match you. Get in touch with the mods to talk more. This year, we need everyone to track their parcels and make sure to tick 'gift' on the customs declaration, thanks!

Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms): I like nature, cats, birds, hedgehogs, books, typography, tarot, urban planning, trains, cooking, and board games (especially Race for the Galaxy and Terraforming Mars). If it's wool, I'll wear it--I never have too many scarves, shawls, hats, or socks. Jewelry is also great, whether simple or ornate. I theoretically like the aesthetic of journals, but I hate writing longhand, so a blank book isn't likely to get much use--on the other hand, if you want to bind fanfic or collections of poetry, quotes, or recipes, that could be fun, and I could use a portfolio that holds loose papers. Housewares in general would also be welcome, whether pillows or pottery or an afghan.
Fannishly I'm mostly into science fiction and fantasy books, with particular interests these days including Dragaera, Erin Bow's books, Michelle West's books, Octavia Butler's books, Queen's Thief, Rosemary Sutcliff's books, and Terra Ignota. (Anything I give four or five stars to on Goodreads is a good bet.) I'm also a steady fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Korra and enthusiastic about Sleep No More.
My favorite colors are purple, green, and teal in any saturation from pastel to jewel tones. Black and white or earth-tone stuff is also great; I sometimes secretly aspire to a mori girl aesthetic. When it comes to metal I'm more likely to wear silver or copper than gold.
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: I have a mail theft problem. Please make sure anything you send is sent with tracking so I can make sure I'm home to bring it in when it arrives. Also, I'm Jewish; I am happy to make Christmas ornaments but please don't give them to me.
What country do you live in? USA
Are you willing to ship internationally? Yes
What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift? I make beaded jewelry and small objects like napkin rings, bookmarks, and Christmas ornaments. I also dabble some in collage and other papercraft.
Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary? No.
What about if shipping is paid for? No, it's a time concern.
