cross your heart

It’s mid-November, so it's time to start up the next Batjokes Secret Santa!

Here's how it works:

Sign up by filling out the Google form linked below, indicating what kind of batjokes fic or art you’re willing to create and what you’d like to receive.

Once sign-ups are closed, I’ll assign people to each other using their responses. About a week later, you’ll receive an email with information about your giftee. (Your giftee will NOT be the person creating a gift for you.)

Everyone works on their gifts in secret until December 24-26, when people post their gifts and reveal themselves.

I want to stress that you should only sign up if you’re sure you can create a gift in the time allotted. Guardrails to avoid last-minute dropouts, guidelines for the gifts, and other rules are noted in the Google form:

Sign-ups close on November 19. Assignments will go out on November 25.

Simone Di Meo dropped another banger❗❗

Matthew Rosenberg's love for Joker was shown by his deep understanding of Joker's character and his primal needs, which is very rare from the comic writers today. I recommend reading his other works if you liked his Joker's interpretation! Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox is just him goofing around and the story is hilarious accompanied by a lot of cameos of under-appreciated villains. His other work called House of Gotham is told from the 3rd POV who believes is a victim of Joker/Batman's collaboration, and you can see Bruce's attempt to rationalize, uh saving the clown who is not planning on stop causing lots of agony and mayhem across Gotham. What I love about these both works is that they both hint that Joker and Batman are somewhat the same person! (you'll get it when you read it).

It's an unofficial day set by Japanese fans because batjokes looks similar to 8/14 in their language. I'm also planning to participate in the event so feel free do the same and tag #batjokesday or #バトジョの日 on August 14th. (pls 🥹)
