WDLF is an outgrowth of the fic exchange community – think yuletide, except instead of rare fandoms, each exchange has a different focus, from producing unconventional fanworks to rare femslash ships to space fandoms – that started when an exchange participant decided she wanted to push the boundaries of what exchanges were or could do. The first one simply ran on an extremely accelerated timefram (like, a weekend to write the fics, rather than 4-8 weeks), and subsequent rounds have pushed at what an exchange looks like. This round was a double blind exchange, where the requests were anonymized. As a result, this round, people have to go "claim" their gifts – or any gift they think might be for them – by asking for it to be gifted to them. Next round will be something completely different. The other exchanges are not like this at all.
