Free!: 2015 Tachibana Makoto Birthday Fanworks Exchange

I thought that this might be of interest to some, since Free! is a medium sized fandom, although this exchange is somewhat more specific. :)

The exchange is open to art, comics, fic, and manips centered around Makoto. Despite the name, fanworks don’t have to be birthday-themed. All pairings (het/slash/other; twosome/threesome/moresome) and non-pairings (Makoto alone or gen with friends/family/animals) are welcome. ♥♥♥

Sign-ups: September 4 - 20
Assignments Sent: September 23
