They didn't end up in Hawaii (or at least they weren't in Hawaii when they were interviewed in 2029) but they did end up together.

I paused when they were showing the emails and transcribed some of the subject lines.

Some intern obviously had some fun writing these.

Dinesh: “Go fuck a moose you hoser” Gilfoyle: “Half Yearly Sale - 50% Off Lessons to chortle my balls” Dinesh: “Running to the store. Do you need any throat coat after deepthroating Satan’s dick all of the time?” Gilfoyle: “India deserves Kashmir” Dinesh: “Hey I was about to go dump a bunch of DDT into Lake Ontario, you in?” Gilfoyle: “Pakistan is the coconut la croix of all middle eastern countries” Dinesh: “Banff National Park is overrated, also go get skullfucked by a bighorn sheep” Gilfoyle: “OBL turned himself in because he would rather get blown up than live in pakistan” Dinesh: “The Calgary Flames trading Joe Nieuwendyk for Jerome Iginia was a mistake, also shove a hockey stick up your dick hole” Gilfoyle: “Invitation: 25 Steamy Honeymoon Destinations: For you and your camel” Dinesh: “Go find a way to fuck a maple tree” … Dinesh: “Just checking in: Are you done shoving that hockey puck up your asshole?” Gilfoyle: “What cave have you been hiding in?” Dinesh: “did you lose your virginity to a zamboni driver” Gilfoyle: “did you get bullied in the Taliban?” Dinesh: “Gonna call you Bert from now on.” Gilfoyle: “Wear a looser fitting shirt” Dinesh: “When you ran into bigfood in canada did he run away from your fucking ugly face” Gilfoyle: “saw Elephant Man, thought it was you because his balls are on his face” Dinesh: “shampoo is BOGO, oh wait sorry i meant to email my friend who fucking showers” Gilfoyle: “Stop looking at me you shriveled Arab raisin” Dinesh: “Fwd: Fwd: Grow penis 3x in 10 days” … Gilfoyle: “Re: Hey dicknozzle” Dinesh: “Re: Hey dicknozzle” Gilfoyle: “Re: Hey dicknozzle” Gilfoyle: “Hey dicknozzle” Dinesh: “Re: Just heard from your recently deceased mother, news straight from the source” Gilfoyle: “Re: Just heard from your recently deceased mother, news straight from the source” Dinesh: “Re: Just heard from your recently deceased mother, news straight from the source” Gilfoyle: “Just heard from your recently deceased mother, news straight from the source” Dinesh: “Re: Hey slutbucket”

Sign-ups are open!

You have until the end of 2 December 2019 (Pacific Time / UTC -8:00) to sign up. Please read the following carefully. I know it’s long; forgive me. I’m only being as thorough as Jared Dunn would want me to be.

By signing up to participate in this exchange, you agree to the following:

To keep the secrecy of the exchange, you will not reveal what you asked for as a gift, or the identity of the person you are creating a gift for.

You will try your best to create a gift that matches at least one of your assigned recipient’s prompts/suggestions, and you will try your best to avoid any of their content weaknesses.

You must not include anything from your assigned recipient’s content limits in your gift.

You will put a reasonable amount of time and effort into creating your gift.

If you are unable to complete your assignment by 12 January 2020, you must tell me as soon as possible via email ([email protected]) so I have time to make pinch hitter arrangements.

If you have any problems with your assignment, you will send me an email and we can discuss; please do not contact your recipient directly, as this is a secret exchange.

How to sign up

Copy-paste the form below and email it to [email protected]. Do NOT submit in any other way (e.g. Tumblr ask, blog post, etc.)

The sign-up form

All ships that you list in your preferences must be from the nomination list.

All fields are mandatory. If any of these don’t apply to you (e.g. you don’t have any content preferences or content limits) please write ‘N/A’ or ‘no preference’ etc.

‘In order of preference’ means in descending order, i.e. your first choice first, followed by your second choice, then your third, etc.

Email address: This must be a valid email address that you are able to access regularly, as it will be used for all exchange communication.

Name: How you want to be identified on the list of exchange participants that will be published on this blog when sign-ups close. This can be whatever name you want.

Tumblr URL: If you don’t have a Tumblr URL, never mind; you don’t need to have a Tumblr to participate in the exchange.

Any accounts you want to be linked to your name on the participant list: e.g. your Tumblr URL, AO3 username link, Instagram, Pixiv, etc. If you don’t list any, I will publish only your name with no linked accounts.

Are you age 18 or over?

Recipient preferences AKA what you want to receive as a gift. This section will be shared with your assigned gift creator.

First choice of ship:

Second choice of ship:

Additional ships:

Do you have rating preferences out of the following: general (no age restriction); teen and up; mature; explicit? If so, please list in order of preference. You can list different ratings for different gift types if you like (e.g. no preference art, but prefer mature/explicit fic).

Content preferences: Any kind of broad genre/mood you have a preference for, e.g. hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, fluff, comedy, etc.

Prompts/suggestions: Give a description of any prompts for the type of gift you want to receive. This can be tropes, settings, situations, plot ideas, anything really (e.g. fake dating trope, college AU). You can list as many prompts as you like (please list them in preference order if you have a preference) but please note that prompts are just suggestions. Your gift creator will try their best to follow something from your list but there is no 100% guarantee (e.g. if they feel they don’t have the ability to fulfil exactly what you ask for). You are, however, guaranteed to get a gift of your favourite ship.

Content weaknesses: Please list all characters/ships that you prefer NOT to receive in your gift. There’s no 100% guarantee that you won’t receive assignment with these characters, but the admin will do their best to avoid assigning you these. If you don’t have list anything here, you may be matched up with any ship in the nomination list.

Content limits: Please list any kind of content that is a hard limit for you, e.g. certain themes, squicks, or potential triggers. Your assigned gift creator will make sure not to include these in your gift.

Anything else you want to share with your gift creator?

Creator preferences AKA what you want to create as a gift for someone else

What kind of content are you able to create out of the following: fanfiction; fan art; graphics (gifs, edits, manips, etc); fan videos?

Do you have rating preferences out of the following: general (no age restriction); teen and up; mature; explicit? If so, please list in order of preference. You can list different ratings for different gift types if you like (e.g. no preference art, but prefer mature/explicit fic).

Content preferences: Any kind of content you prefer creating (ship, type of content [art/fic/etc.], genre, mood, etc.)

Content weaknesses: Please list all characters/ships that you prefer NOT to create content for. There’s no 100% guarantee that you won’t receive an assignment with these characters, but the admin will do their best to avoid assigning you these. If you don’t have list anything here, you may be matched up with any ship in the nomination list.

Content limits: Please list any kind of content that is a hard limit for you, e.g. certain themes, squicks, or potential triggers. The admin will make sure you don’t get assigned any of these.

Is there anyone that you’re uncomfortable being matched with? If for whatever reason you’re not comfortable either receiving content from a particular person, or creating content for them, I’ll make sure not to pair you with them.

Do you want to do more than one exchange? If so, how many? If you decide to do two exchanges instead of one, for example, you will create two gifts and receive two gifts.

Are you willing to be a pinch hitter? Pinch hitters are people who create gifts for recipients in the event that their original gift giver can’t complete their assignment. Please note: you will not receive a gift in return.

Do you want your recipient preferences to be made public (your name won’t be included) so people who aren’t your assigned gift giver / aren’t part of the exchange can create gifts for you if they like? These are called ‘treats’, and can be anything from a 100 word drabble or quick sketch, to something more complex. (Note: as a participant in the exchange, there is no obligation to make treats, or anything else other than your assigned gift. It’s just a nice thing you can do if you want to and have the time to :))

Anything else you want to share with the exchange admin?

That’s it!

If you have any questions, feel free to message/ask me on this blog, or email [email protected]
