Hello FitzSimmons shippers!
Itβs that time of year again - itβs time for the FitzSimmons Secret Santa Exchange! The FS Secret Santa has been a wonderful part of our fandomβs history, and even though the show has ended I think itβs still a great way to celebrate the fandom and the holidays together. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this post out this year, time just flew by for me!
I will be using the tag #fitzsimmonssecretsanta for all of my posts regarding the exchange, so look out for announcements. You will also be using that tag when you post your gifts.
Sign ups are open until Wednesday, November 22nd at midnight PST.
Participants will be notified of their assignments on Saturday, November 25th.
The first posting day for gifts is on Monday, December 25th. This gives you fourΒ weeks to work on your gift. A few weeks before December 25th, you will sign up to select a posting day so I can stagger the gifts throughout the week.
Read more to learn how you can participate in the Secret Santa Exchange!
In participating in the Secret Santa exchange, you will create a fanwork for your assigned giftee. This can consist of fanfiction, gifs, graphics, moodboards, aesthetics, fanmixes, fanvids, fanart, or any other creation. Fic must be at least 1000 words in length, and all gifts must be complete when posted (unless you plan to stagger out fic chapters).
Participants must follow these rules of the exchange:
Send your entry form no later than Wednesday, November 22nd at midnight PST.
Reblog this post to spread the word!
Create an original gift for your giftee following their prompt, preferences, and the guidelines of the exchange. Your gift must be at least 1000 words or an equivalent amount of effort in another medium.
Keep your ask box open with Anon turned on.
Send your giftee anonymous asks at least once a week (questions, compliments, quotes, whatever you like!).
Post your gift and reveal your identity to your giftee on your selected posting day!
To sign up for the exchange, please fill out the entry form below and email it to [email protected] (mused with a d and not an s like my Tumblr username!).
Tumblr username (please specify if you plan to change your url during the holidays so we can find you!)
Your prompt: (what you want your gift to be about!)
Your fandom talents: (what can you create for your giftee?)
Preferences: (for what you would like to receive AND what you would be willing to create - ex: I would like to receive a fic with smut, but I will not write smut for my giftee.)
Mentions of traumatic canon events (4x15, 4x20, 5x14, 5x22, etc.):
Other preferences for what you would not like to give/receive: (type of fanwork, triggers, issues, genres, tropes, etc.)
When filling out the entry form, please be as specific as possible. This helps me to best match people up, as well as ensures that you receive a gift that youβll love! If you receive your assignment and still have questions about creating your gift, I recommend that you send your giftee anonymous asks for clarification.
If something comes up and you can no longer participate, please let me know ASAP. In the past, participants have disappeared from Tumblr, so I really want to ensure that everyone that signs up will receive a gift.
βοΈGood Luck and Happy Holidays! βοΈ
