iwatobies:

Welcome to the 2018 Reigisa Creative Works Exchange!

This year, to celebrate our boys, @iwatobies will be hosting a creative works exchange from December 14th to 24th. 

What is the exchange?

Basically, it’s a Secret Santa except everyone gives to everyone and everyone receives, so the pressure of creating the right gift for a specific person is removed. Every post that gets tagged with #reigisaexchange will be reblogged here, so anything and everything that people want to give as a gift to the fandom at large will be shared and celebrated!

What to make?

Absolutely anything. Art, fics, gifs, AMVs, interpretive dances to the sound of iced tea being served—everything is welcome. HOWEVER, we will also collect prompts and ideas from our followers, so if anyone wants some guidance on what to make, there’s something to choose from. We kickstart on Rei’s birthday so maybe some content for the best butterfly is in order?

Kyra, why are you starting talking about this in September?

Because making stuff takes a long time so I want everyone to have lots and lots of time so there’s no rush and no pressure! 

Please come share your opinions on what kind of content you want to see! You don’t have to share any personal information to do so and it’s completely anonymous. Ever really wanted a fic where all the characters are actually spoons? You can ask for that here. I’m not judging.

On October 5th, we will publish a full list of prompts and suggestions for creators, and then wait to see what everyone comes up with!! 

The more people who participate—by suggesting prompts, by promoting this post, by making wonderful art/fics/interpretive dances—the more of a success this event will be! And it doesn’t matter if you don’t think your interpretive dancing is the best out there because every creator has something unique to share! So please consider marking your calendars and giving a little something to the Reigisa fandom, because I, for one, am super excited to see it!

I don’t keep up very well with the fandom :(

In order of release:
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club – Season 1 of Free!

Free! Eternal Summer – Season 2 of Free!

Free! Eternal Summer OVA – probably everyone’s favorite episode lbr. Water gun fight shenanigans and everyone is a drama queen.

Free! Take Your Marks – A new movie with all new content released in Japan in late 2017. Tells 4 concurrent and intersecting stories about the third years as they go through the end of their high school career and wrap things up for the future 🙂

Free! Dive to the Future – brand new season for summer 2018 :))), July 4th will be a “recap” episode, with episode 1 officially airing July 11th. There is also an episode 0 that will likely be released later with the DVD, though I’m not quite sure about that.
