#tfsecretsanta

@secretsolenoid @projectatron

It’s still a work in progress, and I won’t mind to go back and change the colors; I’m just glad I finished the design. (I hope no one minds I just used IDW Tailgate’s frame design, with a few alterations. …I mean, we’ve had bots with the same frame model before right? No big deal…)

I wanted to wait to introduce this design, preferably after I finish telling her TFC story (cuz this design is also for that verse), but I thought this would be a good option for whoever gets paired with me for the Transformers Secret Santa project this year. Maybe they can…like…make it look nicer than I made it. <:D

Hello all you lovelies! As the title says, “welcome!” I had a lot of fun doing these little gift exchanges in the Transformers fan community here on Tumblr last year and I can’t wait for the opportunity to share it with all of you again (I totally was not too late to join other exchanges and therefore decided to make an exchange myself). I’m sure many of you know how a gift exchange/Secret Santa works, but just in case you don’t, here’s a recap: anyone who would like to participate can sign up (details below), and you get paired with someone else participating in the exchange. When you sign up, provide your request list, and your Secret Santa will prepare your gift for you! All submissions will be posted here on the blog page. This gift exchange is open to both fanart and fanfics!

Wanna join? Just a few ground rules:

*Sign ups are open until December 16th

*Please sign up by using the Submit box, with the following information: Your name, an email we can reach you at, and your request. Please also include whether you prefer to draw fanart or write a fanfic. If you absolutely do not want any NSFW requests, please also let me know so that I can accommodate the request that you will receive!

*You should receive your Giftee and their request by December 20th, you are free to post your gift as soon as you are done, but please tag the blog so we can reblog it here!

*THE FINAL DAY TO POST YOUR GIFT IS JANUARY 17th. If you are unable to make this date, please let us know in advance. 

*If you would like to volunteer as a backup Santa (in case someone is unable to fulfill their gift), I would greatly appreciate it! Please let me know.

*for clarity: "Santa" means your role in giving someone a gift, "Giftee" means your role in receiving a gift from someone

Request Guidelines

*anything Transformers-related! Can be a single character, couples, groups, etc–however please be reasonable. Your Secret Santa might not want to draw/write about the whole Lost Light crew!

*NSFW requests are allowed, however please also provide alternate SFW options for your Secret Santa

*On that note, please provide a couple of different options for your Santa! Keep in mind that they may not be familiar with every continuity!

*For characters in multiple entities, please be sure to indicate which entity they belong to (ie. Bumblebee in RID 2015 vs Bumblebee in Bayverse)

*keep in mind that you may receive either fanart or a fanfic from your Santa based on your request!

I think that should be about it! The number one rule is of course: HAVE FUN! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in our Ask Box, or you can reach out to the admin’s personal account @hellovivirose.

Also: I’m starting a tag which I will also track for this exchange: #TFSS2015!! Feel free to use it for your posts or anything you would like us to feature on the blog.

Here are the things that I would like for Christmas:

1. I would like to learn how to make gifs and videos so I can make beautiful Fosters edits.

2. I would like a Callie playlist to put in my mp3 player.

3. I love Maia Mitchell, The Fosters (especially Callie, Brallie, and Jude), Hello Kitty, Teen Beach Movie, New Girl (Ness), Austin and Ally (Auslly), Disney movies, The Big Bang Theory, Harry Potter, photography, scrap-booking, and super heroes (especially Superman). Anything from those things would be great (edits, gifs, videos, fanfics). 

4. Santa, the one thing I wish for more than anything is to have a best friend. I want to be a good friend to someone. I want them to know that I care and that they are not alone. I want someone I can open up to and that they can open up to me. 

Thank you for listening, Santa.
