Deadline is here! Doors have closed! Thank you to everyone who got their work in, and to everyone who checked in with us for an extension. If you have an issue with your assignment, get in touch with the mods ASAP so we can give the pinch hitters as much time as possible to get something done!
Works due for the Songxuexiao Exchange 2025 Fanart of Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan and Xue Yang, poised dynamically around each other. Xiao Xingchen is smiling, but blood tears have soaked through his blindfold and run down to his chin. He holds a bloody eyeball up towards Song Lan and his sword points towards Xue Yang. Fierce corpse Song Lan’s eyes are shut and his mouth is smeared with blood. He reaches out to Xingchen’s shoulder with one hand, while the other holds his sword up behind Xue Yang. Xue Yang is dressed as Xingchen, a blindfold falling from his eyes as he pushes Xingchen’s sword away. At the same time, he holds a pair of nails up to Song Lan’s head.

We have one hit open and tend to get a couple more right towards the end of the exchange.

The form can be found here: forms.gle/Njx2jy713buq7bNr8
Pinch Hitter Signups. Fanart of Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan and Xue Yang as baseball players. Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan’s bats have their swords’ names written on them (Shuanghua and Fuxue) and Xue Yang’s mitt is likewise labelled Jiangzai. The background of the graphic is a photograph pf a baseball lying on green grass.

Here are a few examples of what it would look like to have a complete vs. incomplete work by the December 7 deadline.

If by December 7 your piece still looks more like the incomplete right side column, you must request an extension and commit to the new deadline.

You can do it!!

An array of multicoloured gummy sweets on a pink background. In one corner is fanart of Xue Yang, holding up a red candy between his fingers with a devil-may-care smirk.

Assignments Out for the Songxuexiao Exchange 2025 Digital painting of Xiao Xingchen, Song Lan and Xue Yang with a strong chiaroscuro effect. Xiao Xingchen is standing in the centre, looking down so that his eyes are deeply shadowed and holding out his hands to either side. His white robes seem to glow against the dark background. On the left, Song Lan kneels upright to reverently take one of Xiao Xingchen's hands. On the right, Xue Yang is half-collapsed on the ground. He pushes himself up and reaches out towards the red threads and red spider lily blossom that hangs from Xiao Xingchen's hand.

SIGNUPS for the Songxuexiao exchange 2025 are CLOSED. Assignments will be sent out on Monday, October 20! Time to start preparing for the party!
(You can still sign up as a pinch hitter or offer beta-reading services throughout the exchange.)
Signups Closed for the Songxuexiao Exchange 2025 Fanart of fierce corpse Song Lan possessively embracing Xiao Xingchen while scowling at Xue Yang, who is staring him defiantly in the eyes and biting at Xiao Xingchen's neck. Caught between them both, Xiao Xingchen is clutching at Song Lan's robes. The blood-red tears soaking through his blindfold are the only point of colour in the black, white and grey piece. The art is laid over a collage of torn, printed paper, also in shades of grey, and abstract black spikes.

Signups Open for the Songxuexiao Exchange 2025. Fanart of Song Lan, Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen on a wooden river boat. Song Lan is standing on the flat stern of the boat, sculling with a long pole. Xue Yang is standing next to him and holding onto Song Lan’s arm. He’s waving to someone offscreen with his left hand in the air, not wearing a glove, so his missing finger is visible. Xiao Xingchen, wearing simple white robes and a blindfold, is kneeling at the edge of the boat’s stern, reaching out to touch a white water lily. The mood is happy and peaceful. The graphic’s background is rippling river water and there are two big, white water lilies in the bottom corners.
