#fges2018

I had half a thought about doing one a couple of years ago (maybe?) and with my massive time constraints right now (which are only going to get worse as this year progresses) I thought that this might be a good option for a couple of reasons:

1) I would have to run caps on any gift exchanges I did this year (with my patreons getting priority spaces as they fund my work) this is because the more people taking part, the more admin there is, the more checking up on people there is, the more time it takes and it’s not time that I’m sure I have.

2) If I’m running caps, the best thing to do is to run with caps on numbers, but do multiple exchanges! This spreads the workload massively!

3) Also, I think it’s fun to change the theme up a bit, with the exchange being at christmas, everything is very homely and cinnamon flavoured, I think doing one in the summer will shake things up in an exciting way!

Let me know what you think! On here or there is a twitter poll too!

Here comes the summer! 

#FGES2018

Honestly I am once again blown away by fannibals, and especially by @donotrubjustpress who has gifted me beautiful hand-engraved glassware!! And a few other pieces.

Just a quick update for people taking part in the Summer Fannibal Gift Exchange this year:

Your gifts should be on their way to your partners before Thursday the 19th of July, and remember you need to let me know that they’ve gone with a screen cap or tracking number and appropriate website!

I got a cute little hand-drawn card:

Along with a new printing of Red Dragon (mine got lost in my last move, so this is really great!)

And a teacup-covered "Decomposition Book", which is making me giggle like a hyena

Look what I got from the Fannibal Gift Exchange this summer!!! It’s a beautiful Ravenstag mousepad! I love love love it! 

Thank you to @idontfindyouthatinteresting for holding this event. I love the secret gifting events you do. They’re such a fun way to make new friends and get beautiful things.

Fannibal Gift Exchange Summer 2018 SIGN UP!

I’m very happy to announce that the fannibal’s will be exchanging gifts over the summer this year AS WELL as over the christmas holidays. I’ve thought long and hard about how I’m going to do this (here are some considerations about what I’ve done if you’re interested)

This event is capped to 50 places (because of my personal time constraints,) my patreon’s get first refusal (as they help fund my ability to spend more time here,) everything else is first come first served.

Sign up’s close 10pm (UK time) Thursday 21st of June.

Gift’s should be sent before Thursday 19th of July, and proof of the sending of the gift should arrive to me before that time. If you cannot commit to this, please do not sign up.

Everyone will be paired up with a fannibal in their continent, you will swap gifts (this is something I’ve changed based on reviews of previous exchanges with) so the person who is giving you a gift, will be the person to whom you give a gift.

I will do my upmost to ensure everyone gets a gift, if I believe there’s any risk this won’t happen I have the right to refuse entry into the exchange.

The gift can be sent straight from a supplier, like redbubble or society 6 no problem!

Gift minimum is £15.00 or $20.00 and please factor in the extra cost of TRACKED SHIPPING, which you must be able to provide evidence to me of before Thursday the 19th of July (this can be in the form of a screen shot with the dispatch address visible.)

If you can make the gift summer-y, that would be wonderful! 

Your sign up must be accompanied by the username of a social media account (twitter/tumblr) which has been active in the Hannibal fandom over the last 6 months minimum. I have discretion on this and if I don’t know you, I will look for proof of this, if I cannot find it, I cannot complete the sign up I’m afraid, I’m very sorry.

The postal address you give will only be seen by me and the person who sends your parcel, I’m used to handling addresses all the time as part of the day to day running of my etsy.

Please note, that this exchange is between potential strangers, they probably won’t understand the intricacies of your fandom likes and dislikes. You can make a NSFW/SFW preference, and that is it. Unless you know the person, please keep gifts general.

GIFTS SHOULD BE OPENED AND POSTED ABOUT TAGGED WITH #FGES2018 ON WEDNESDAY THE 29th OF AUGUST, TWOTL’S 3RD BIRTHDAY!

If you have any questions about the exchange, please ask them prior to signing up here!

Please fill in this google form to take part in the exchange!
