Listen up, aca-bitches!

Yeah, you read that heading right. 2025 marks TEN YEARS of the Merry Pitchmas secret santa gift exchange. How crazy is that? As my wife pointed out, that's a whole ass child.

I know the fandom isn't as active as it once was, but in honour of this milestone I'd like to ask anyone still following me who used to go here or still goes here but is quiet about it, to come out and take part this year to celebrate! Or even just circulate the posts as I make them.

Also, if anyone more talented than me should feel so inclined to make some celebratory manips or whatnot for me to use on this blog, you'd have my undying love.

That being said, I'll be posting the rules and the official call to action next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

It has been brought to my attention that during the previous year's event promotion, AI was used to create at least some of the promotional materials. As the person that originally ran this blog and used to create the graphics for the first couple of years, I have found this information incredibly disappointing and disheartening, as I'm sure all of you have as well.

In order to rectify the situation I have taken sole possession of the blog and completely cleared it to give all of us a fresh start, and will be running Spookfest myself this year.

I'm going to state this here and clearly so that everyone knows where I stand on this situation and what the Spookfest potential future team's stance is:

This is a gen-AI free space. There is no room for gen-AI in creative spaces. We do not condone theft of artwork by or the astronomically detrimental environmental impact of AI. No further posts, works or submissions will contain AI as far as can be controlled, and if we are made aware of the use of AI in anything that may be shared by us, it will be immediately removed.

That out of the way, there will be a Spookfest 2026, and I really hope that you'll join me in October to celebrate the spooky season with fabulous creations of your own. I am committed to making this year the best Spookfest yet!!!

Summary: Beca Mitchell has to up and leave her life in order to protect her unborn child, but the PI staking out her apartment might make all of that work a complete waste of time

We hope you’ve been well. we just wanted to drop a little update as to how fundraising has been going. so far we’ve seen our fandom participants raise $1,500 going towards legitimate, verified sources/organizations to support Ukraine and people in need during this time. 

Remember: 

money never comes through us or to us directly. please do not try to send us money. we ask you to look at legitimate lists and resources of ways you can help either locally or globally and to make sure you do your own research. that will likely include some research outside of social media like tumblr or twitter or facebook.

any donation helps. for this drive, we would’ve love proof of donation of at least $10. but we understand that sometimes it’s hard on people, so we will also accept proof of donation of $5. 

we’re hoping to run this for at least the month of march while continuously reassessing our abilities/capabilities/resources. please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions

if you donate, your prompt/request was immediately assigned and if somebody has questions or needs clarification, they will reach out (but they might not always reach out - depends on the creator!)
