JeFFFFFFFFest 2026 Gift Exchange
This exchange is for fanworks based on Jeff Satur’s music videos and related media.
‘Related media’ includes characters such as the rain god from Jeff’s Halloween fan art Instagram post, or the fallen angel from Call Me by Fire. A primer of Jeff’s related music videos with links can be found on this tumblr post, and a resource list with links to media will be available in the Discord server (link to join).
While all Jeffs may be used as visual/auditory/character inspiration, characters from acting roles (KinnPorsche, He She It, Ingredients) are not the focus of this event. Crossovers such as Kim/Sunshine are in the spirit of the event, but a direct KinnPorsche fanwork is not.
Is it because of all of the Jeffs possibly named Jeff? Is it because that’s how we’re feeling after each new release (F!)? Is it because they represent all of the Fun Fabulous Fanworks we’ll be creating? Yes. (There are eight Fs for Space Shuttle No. 8, if you care.)
This exchange is open to all types of fanworks, including text, visual art, audio, and video. The sign-up form will prompt you to list which types of fanworks you’d like to offer and receive. Everyone will be matched with a recipient who meets their fanwork types and prompts as closely as possible. Assignments will remain private until the collection is revealed, so please keep that information secret from your recipient!
You are only required to create one fanwork, in the medium of your choosing. If your recipient requests visual art or written text, you can choose which type of fanwork to create based on their prompts and what inspires you the most. If you’re inspired to create multiple fanworks, that’s a bonus, but not expected or required.
Once assignments are sent out, a channel will be opened in the Discord server for people to share their prompts if they choose. You’re welcome to create additional fanworks as 'treats' based on those prompts and submit them to the AO3 collection. There’s no limit to how many prompts you can fill or how many works you can create!
After the reveal, there will be a 'remix round' for fanworks inspired by the posted exchange works. This is a free-for-all where anything goes! You can make fanvids inspired by art, record podfics of written works, or anything else that inspires you. You can opt out of or limit your participation in this round with a permission statement.
Both the 'treat' and 'remix' rounds are completely optional, and as such we encourage you to create anything, no matter how small or how unfamiliar you are with that form of fanwork! This is a great place for fanworks like moodboards, fanmixes/playlists, and anything else that doesn't fit in the main gift exchange. Of course, large prompt fills are also welcome!
Make sure your work is complete by the deadline, not posted as a WIP or first chapter. Your gift can be multi-chapter, but all chapters should be posted by the deadline. You can always create a continuation later, but your gift should be a completed standalone fanwork.
Post your work to the AO3 collection by the deadline. We can reach out to pinch-hitters if you realize you’re not going to make the deadline, but we want to make sure they have enough time to brainstorm and create.
If you have questions for your recipient about their prompt or DNW, please reach out through their preferred contact (ie anonymous ask) or through a mod
Respect all DNWs (including requests for no NSFW content) and include appropriate content warnings in posts and discussions; when in doubt, at a minimum, AO3 warnings should always be tagged/warned, or talk to a mod if you're unsure. If you create a work that does not honor your recipient’s DNWs, you may not be allowed to participate in future exchanges.
To ensure that artist credit is always appropriately given, the use of AI and/or gifting AI-generated content is strictly prohibited.
Bigotry and harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Respect and be mindful of all fellow community members.
Please bring complaints or concerns privately to the exchange mods; we're here to help make this a positive experience for everyone! Feel free to reach out to a mod on discord or tumblr.
If you have questions for your recipient or about the exchange in general, please contact one of the mod team. If you need to drop out for any reason, please let the mods know as soon as possible. Your moderators for this event are @airgiodslv and @shubaka (on discord and tumblr).*
*To the best of our knowledge, none of the mods are secretly Jeff.

For the most up to date information, please refer to this blog (posts tagged #logistics) and/or join our discord server. Also, we're aware that things happen! We want to make this event as fun as possible, so if you ever feel overwhelmed, please talk to a mod at any time about enlisting a pinch-hitter.
Our AO3 collection is here. Links to fics and posts made on other sites (eg, tumblr, twitter, archive.org) will be reblogged/cross-posted to this blog. If you don't want your gift to be on tumblr, please reach out to a mod ASAP so we can make other arrangements.
The sign-up form can be found here! Reminder that sign-ups will be open until June 13th.
Happy Jeff-ing everyone! 🪐
