Roundup: TrickOrTreat Exchange

[firecat]

trickortreatex is a large exchange for stories that are tricks (horror, occult, supernatural, scary, etc) or treats (sweet, sexy, fluffy, etc.). The minimum is 300 words or a "nice sketch". It's been running since 2014.

275 people signed up and over 650 works were posted in 340 fandoms. This year there was a challenge to write a extra gift for every participant, so almost all participants got at least two gifts.

This is the second year I've participated. I wrote Ancient Greek Religion & Lore (Dionysus/Adriadne) and Loki TV (Loki/Mobius) stories. I liked both stories and some other people did too!

I received a story about a Kelpie (I requested stories about British folklore creatures that I didn't know a lot about, so I was really happy about that), and a Columbo & Dog story. Three Columbo & Dog stories were posted! (I nominated them so I was happy about that as well!)
