What do you want?

… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.

How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.

The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.

Returning by request this year, Thneedmas Exchange 2018!

What is it, you may ask?: A festive gift change event for members of the Once-ler/Lorax Fandom. Everyone is allowed to participate!

This blog is the central hub for organizing and hosting the event. You do not have to follow this blog to participate but you can get news and updates by following our tag: #unitetheloraxfandom

Here is how it’s going to work:

1) To signup you must like AND reblog the official post for the current exchange. That would be this one! We will try to message people once they’ve been added to the participants list, so look out for that!

2) We will be contacting you via Tumblr Messaging to send you the name of your buddy. but if it is unavailable we will be sending it to your askbox. Make sure you have your askbox open please! You don’t need to have anon on. If we cant contact you you will be taken OFF of the list without warning.

3) If you change your URL after signing up, you MUST tell us.

4) Signup starts TODAY (December 4th) and will be CLOSED on December 9th.

5) After the 9th of December, you will be messaged the name of your secret buddy. They must be unaware that you are their Thneedmas Exchange partner until after the period of posting (December 22 - January 5) or longer depending on issues with post limit.

6) If you signup after the cutoff date, your url will be put on a waiting list for the next exchange. There will be no room for late sign ups.

7) Gifts can be fanart, fanfiction, fan video, etcetera. If you have any other ideas for your gift, feel free to get creative. Also, please try to keep them related to The Lorax/Once-ler/Askblogs unless you know your buddy would appreciate something non-lorax related more.

8) If you have had drama in the past with another tumblr user than please let us know ahead of time so we can make certain that neither of you are assigned to each other.

9) Buddies will be assigned by the mods, and you will be buddied up randomly. If you don’t receive a buddy after the signup period is over, then MESSAGE US IMMEDIATELY! DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE EXCHANGE OR THE LAST DAY OF THE EXCHANGE OR 2 DAYS AFTER THE EXCHANGE.

10) If you have not received your gift in time, you MAY make a request for a makeup one drawn by one of the mods or other blog volunteers; offer is only valid though if you’ve come through with your own partner’s gift, it’s only fair.

By the way, this blog and it’s moderators are always taking feedback for how this blog is run and how the event is handled. We will address any comments and concerns you may have. If you send us feedback anymously, bear in mind we will have to post it or will be incapable of replying.

So that pretty much sums that up! If you have any questions about the event you can send this blog an ask or message the moderators directly: @yoyo-illuser or @anotherler
