The Down the Chimney Affair 2024"

Remember, if you uploaded your story early, you can go in and edit your story to change the publication date to something a little more current. That way it will display on the 'front page' of our fandom's fanworks listing.

A HUGE thank-you to Timemidae, who did all the heavy lifting for me this year. This tradition would have been MIA this year without her. Please be sure to let her know how much you appreciate all her effort!

Friends, it is time! The authors who wrote the 15 tantalizing MFU stories this year are now public. If you have not done so yet(or even if you have), go ahead and check out the stories and their authors and be sure to give them some love. Did you guess correctly which author wrote which story?

Thank you so much to all who participated. This is such a labor of love at the busiest time of year, and your devotion to our fandom is awesome!

All story assignments for the Down the Chimney Affair have now been emailed to the writers. Please let me know if you do not receive your writing assignment soon (don't forget to check your spam/junk folders) so I can re-send it manually.

This year's matching of authors to recipients was a bit of a challenge as there were several new and unfamiliar participants. Fingers crossed everyone is pleased with their assignments.

Your stories are due to be posted to the AO3 collection no later than December 16th. That way if there are any defaults there will still be time to get a pinch hit story written. If anyone has difficulty meeting that deadline please let me know as soon as possible.

Any questions or concerns, do contact me, either via DW PM or email vysila at comcast dot net

He died today, September 25, six days after his 90th birthday.

There are some truly beautiful tributes online - a quick google will turn them up. His wife of over 50 years only said that she wished they had had the chance to grow old together.

May David be at peace and may his family find comfort in that.

Here in this community, this fandom, we will remember him as Illya, Number 2 of Section 2 of the U.N.C.L.E. And as such, he will always be forever young.

Yep, it's already that time when we need to start thinking about our annual winter holiday/Christmas fic exchange, even if it is a long way off still. So here I am, once again gauging interest.

Also, this will be our 18th annual exchange (we skipped a year or two in there), and on that high note I must sadly announce that I will probably not manage one after this year. So if there is anyone who would like to take over the AO3 exchange for next year and beyond, do please let me know.

Cross-posting to the LJ communities as well.

(Also, a heads up for those not on LJ - their MFU Scrapbook Halloween fic challenge is currently accepting prompts. Contact spikesgirl58 via PM here on DW for info on getting in on that.)

Just to let everyone know that the signups closed yesterday and assignments have been matched up and sent out! Check your inboxes for your assignments and let me know if you have not received yours as yet.

Remember that assignments are sent to the email address associated with your AO3 account.

Any questions or problems, let me know, either by PM or email to vysila AT comcast DOT net.

Help us celebrate the 19th year of this annual holiday fic exchange by giving Illya and Napoleon the best holiday season ever!

For those of you unfamiliar with it, Down the Chimney is a fic gift exchange featuring the Man from UNCLE (TV) show only. You will sign up to both receive a story and write one. The DtCA is hosted on AO3. The rules, FAQs and sign-up forms can be found here:

Down the Chimney 2022

Any questions, please direct them to vysila via comments or PMs.

Can't wait. We are hoping to see a great turnout this year!
