This will automatically gift the work to your recipient and include it in the collection.

Your work should be a minimum of 500 words (for fanfiction) or a sketch on unlined paper (for art). It should be complete, standalone, and fulfill your recipient's requested fandom, pairing/character, medium, and freeform tags.

Have fun creating!
