#jaytim exchange

I’m please to announce the very first JayTim Secret Santa Christmas in July event!

This is a completely voluntary event and no sign-up is required to participate! You’re welcome to make fanart, fanfic, edits, moodboards, playlists, basically any creative outlet you have is welcome! You are welcome to take the prompts in any direction you wish and can go the NSFW route as long as you tag accordingly.

Do as many or as few prompts as you like and remember to tag this blog @jaytimsecretsanta so I can reblog your lovely creative works for all to see!

If you’d like a typed out version of the dates so you don’t have to squint at the calendar above, check below the cut for the dates and prompts!

And if anyone’s interested....I thought leading up to when sign-ups open we could have a fun Christmas in July where I give out prompts every week or maybe a little more and we can all have some fun making some new content!

Congrats to all our participants for making it this far! We are just ten days out from posting (December 20-25) and I hope you are all getting to the stage where you feel confident in what you will be posting!

Here are some instructions on the posting process which will hopefully make things easy for all of us:

Posting is from December 20-25 and you can post any time during that period

Tag your recipient and this blog (@jaytimsecretsanta)

Use the tag: #jaytimss which is being tracked by moi

For those who post on AO3 there is a collection: JayTIm_Secret_Santa_Exchange_2017

If you make your primary posting on AO3, make a tumblr post with the link or full text of the fic so the correct blogs can be tagged.

Tag any warnings, nsfw elements, or possible triggers as best you can. We want to make this a welcome event for participants and readers alike!

If you have any questions about anything, don’t hesitate to ask! I’m here to help ^.^

If you are running late and are worried you might not make the posting window in time, please let me know. I’d like to keep track of the gifts to make sure none go missing. That being said, don’t be surprised if I reach out to anyone who might not have posted during the first half to check-in and see how things are going.

In order to make sure that everyone gets their gifts, I’m opening a sign-up for people who are not already involved in the exchange to sign-up as a pinch hitter.

By signing up to do this, I want to make it clear that you won’t be getting a gift in return, but if you have the time and want to create fun content, then please do sign-up!

This is acting as a precautionary measure on my part and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be contacted with an assignment. And unless there is an extreme situation, pinch-hitter assignments won’t be sent out within a month of the posting period.

The second check-in form is going to be sent out via email in a short while.

Please note that if you DID NOT fill out the first form and you DO NOT fill out the second, you WILL BE DISQUALIFIED from the Exchange.

I want to ensure everyone gets their gifts on time and don’t want to go through the same debacle that happened last year which means me being less forgiving this time around.

Never apologize for asking questions or searching for clarification! I’m always happy to help and am willing to answer any questions that you may have.

Sign-ups close Friday, September 1 at 11:59 PM EST!!!

Don’t miss your chance to sign up for the JayTim Secret Santa Exchange this year!!!

For those interested, or maybe you haven’t heard, the JayTim Secret Santa Christmas in July event starts tomorrow! Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate for the month of prompt fills and you can make anything your creative heart desires!

Just remember to tag this blog or use the tag #jaytimss so I can see all of your lovely creative works and reblog them for all to see! And as part of the month of festivities, the sign ups for the third annual JayTim Secret Santa Exchange are going to open on July 25!

You can see the list of prompts in the calendar below or if you need a larger print list just check out this post here!
