Winter Walk

1. How do I sign up?

Go to our submit page and submit the information asked. Be sure to include your desired name and a url to be tagged at (doesn’t require tumblr but it’s highly suggested)! Everything else is recommended but not required.

2. Does my creation have to be Christmas related?

If you want to do something Christmas themed, go right ahead! If you don’t, that’s perfectly fine too. As long as you have fun and you keep in mind what your recipient likes/dislikes, anything is fine.

3. Can I do NSFW/Suggestive/Sensitive Content?

No, we’re going to stick with SFW content. Let’s keep things PG-13. [This excludes language as long as your recipient is okay with language.]

4. What if I don’t know what to do?!

You can try messaging the person anonymously, try asking me, or phone a friend - but be careful. By revealing who you have to others, you make the whole thing a little less mysterious.

5. What if I suddenly get busy/need to cancel?

Let me know As Soon As You Can that you won’t be able to produce something. I don’t want anyone not getting a gift, but I really don’t want anyone stressing over having to make something. I would so much rather you just say “I can’t do it, I’m sorry” and let me worry about it!

6. Can I do something besides MAS?

Sure, if you think that’s what that person will like. If you aren’t sure, then stick with MAS - it’s why we’re doing this, after all.

I have a question that isn’t answered here:

Send an ask! PM me! I’ll try to answer your questions in a quick and timely manner, but try to give me at least 24 hours to respond.

What is this? It’s a Secret Santa gift exchange for the MAS Discord (but you probably knew that).

How’s it work? After everyone signs up, they’ll get a random recipient - and a random Secret Santa! On December 25th, everyone will submit their gifts, tagged with who it’s for, and on December 30th, I’ll reveal who the Secret Santas are! Have fun creating a gift, giving a gift, and guessing who made yours!

If you have any questions, you can ask on tumblr, or you can PM me in Discord.

Important Dates (all deadlines are 23:59 EST):

11/18: Signups are open! 11/24: Signups close! ((if you hit this deadline, but you’d really like to participate, then message me and I’ll see what I can do)) 11/25: Secret Santa assignments will be drawn at random and sent out. This should be around 9:00am, EST, but may be later in the day depending on how things go. 12/1: Deadline to cancel. If you know you’re not going to make it in time, it’s better to cancel than leave your recipient empty-handed. If you cancel, but end up making something anyway, that works too! You can still gift it. :) 12/12: Progress check 1 (mostly a reminder) 12/20: Progress check 2 (more of a nudge) 12/23: Submissions open! Submit your work, but make sure you don’t reveal who you are. ;) 12/25: Posting your submissions! Everything will be posted on the 25th, as much as possible. You can post late, but it’s highly discouraged. We want to try to get everything on the 25th! (the exception may be our Aussie friend(s), who we may try posting on the 24th for) 12/31: Secret Santas will be revealed! Did you guess correctly? ;)
