Hiya all! As we enter November, we also enter the preparation time for the Forum Secret Santa, an anonymous gift exchange and guessing game! Previous examples can be found
here and
here.
How do I join? To join in on the festivities, you must
make a post in this thread. To give your gifter a better idea of what you like, you could talk about some of your fan-related interests - what fandoms you're interested in, what pairings you enjoy, how much fluff or angst you like, or if you have a strong preference for fanart over fanfic. You can also mention any other interests or hobbies you might enjoy, like baking or gardening or herpetology. Maybe your gifter has something in common!
Make sure to also be clear if there's anything
don't want to recieve as a gift (content you don't like, any pairings that squick you out), so your gifter can make sure you recieve a gift you love, not one that makes you go "eugh".
Signups close on November 30th. You should recieve a PM a day or two later letting you know who your giftee is.
Make your gift! It can be anything - fanart, fanfic, poetry, recipes, contemplative multimedia collage comics - so long as it's something that you've made yourself. Remember to keep it a secret!
PM me your gift by midnight forum time on December 20th. I'll send out the gifts on December 24, and then you can do all your guessing and speculating in this thread! If there's any remaining mysteries I'll release the list of gifters and giftees on the new year (January 1st).
Important Information Please only sign up if you think you have time to make your gift! Things can get crazy around this time of year.
If you find yourself unable to make your gift in time, PM me as soon as you can so I can re-assign your giftee. If anyone thinks they might be able to make two gifts in a pinch, you can let me know in your post so that I can reach out to you if somebody drops out.
Most importantly: have fun!
