Feedback wanted - upcoming events

Hi everyone,

I'd like some feedback as I gear up for this year's Venomtime's Day, as well as in the wake of the Venom Holiday Exchange.

Venom Holiday Exchange - what do you want in future?
My goal is to make the exchange as inclusive as practical. You can find this year's rules here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Venom_Holiday_Exchange_2022/profile

This year for the first time, I allowed podfics, although no-one took up that option. We also allow fiction, art, and vids every year. Are there any other formats you'd like, or any changes to the rules you think are sensible?

We also allow both the movie-verse and the comics-verse/s. Are there any other 'verses you think should be included?

Finally, participants must pick either Eddie Brock and/or Venom as one of their matching criteria. This is because the exchange is comparatively small, so it enables me to match everyone (hopefully). I'm not currently open to changing this criteria, but if you have a case to put forward for changing it, I'll listen.

If you have any feedback for how to make the Venom Holiday Exchange better next year, please let me know in the comments, or via email at cupidsbower at gmail.


Venomtime's Day 2023 - should it be expanded to the Marvel-verse?
I'll be posting this year's info in a week or so, so that you have plenty of time to make your fanworks. It will be a prompt-style fest as usual. You can find last year's rules here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Venomtimes_Day_2022/profile

Because Chocolate Box isn't running this year, I'm considering opening up the fest to allow any Marvel-verse works to be posted. If I do that, it will still be called Venomtime's Day, but I'll make sure there's a generic Marvel prompt people can use if they want to. Thoughts? If the majority is against the idea, I won't do it, but given Venom has crossed over into the larger Marvel 'verse in both comics and movies it seems like it should work.
