AroAceHogwarts’ White Dragon Gift Exchange
You are formally invited to aroacehogwarts’ White Dragon (creative content) Gift Exchange! That’s right, our White Dragon Gift Exchange is back for 2017!
What: An aro/ace Harry Potter creative White Dragon/Secret Santa! A Secret Santa is where you are assigned a giftee in secret to surprise with a gift during the specified time (and so on and so on so that everyone who participates is providing a gift and receiving a gift). Here on aroacehogwarts, we will be swapping aro/ace Harry Potter related creative content. You can choose to gift a fic, fanart, photomanip, gifset, etc. that you have created yourself. No physical addresses involved - all of this is stuff that can be shared online! At the bottom of the post is the form you will need to fill out in order to participate. The form includes what kind of aro/ace stuff you’d like to see (e.g., specific characters, ships, or orientations, house pride, or a link to particular headcanons from this blog you would like to see expanded), as well as what kind of stuff you are not willing to create (e.g., specific characters, ships, or orientations) so that we can make sure gifters and giftees are well matched. Your gift must be aro- and/or ace-related. This is aroacehogwarts, after all. In that same vein, please NO nsfw content.
To ensure that we can find all posts, you must submit your post or post link to us so we can make sure everyone receives your gift. You have the option to post the gift on your own blog and send us a post link to the post OR submit the post directly to us. You MUST include your giftees name in your post. Please feel free to @ your giftee and/or message your giftee to notify them their gift is posted and where. We will also message your giftee to ensure they see their gift. But please post the gift on YOUR blog and submit the link to us OR on submit directly on our blog. Please do not just @/tag us and call it done OR submit your gift to your giftee’s blog and expect them to notify us of the url; when we did this in 2015, we had so much activity that we had trouble tracking all our mentions down. You must specifically submit your gift/post to us. Please use the submit so the link works or so that your whole story/art is visible.
When (all times are Eastern Time):
Sign-ups: Nov 5th - 12th OR the first 30 people who sign up Submit a completed form, found at the bottom of this post, to us if you want to participate. SIGNUPS ARE OPEN
Giftees Assigned: Nov 15th We send you the person you’ll be creating for.
~~~Use the next month or so to work on your gift~~~
Activity Check: Dec 10th - Dec 15th This is where you let us know if you are unable to participate so we can reassign gifters and giftees. If you cannot be on during these days, please contact us earlier if you can still participate. If we do not hear from you, we’ll assume inactivity - sorry, this is just to make sure that everyone who participates does end up with a gift. We realize last minute things happen, but please let us know ASAP if you’re not going to make it or something comes up.
Final RSVP: Dec 20th - 22nd This is where mods remind you that gifts are due in a few days. Hopefully you can still complete your gift, but if not, this is the last scheduled chance to let us know that you will not be able to make it and your giftee will need re-assigned. You won’t need to confirm your activity, as this is mostly just a reminder.
Due Date: Dec 25th - 30th This is when you submit/send your gift to your giftee and send us a post link to verify your gift was received. Please let us know beforehand if you won’t be available for these dates but can get your gift in earlier or just a little later.
We will be posting/sending out reminders for these dates, but as time moves forward, do keep them in mind!
Why: You will get some awesome aro/ace HP-related creative content made just for you for something you want to receive. As well, whatever you create will be reblogged by us, aroacehogwarts, boosting your awesomeness to all of our followers. Finally, if you include your House in your application, you will also earn points for your house for December’s Headcanon Cup when we reblog your content.
Please RSVP at your earliest convenience by submitting the following form to aroacehogwarts:
Tumblr Username: username - please include your submit link (and make sure submit is enabled on your blog!)
Creative Ability: what kind of creative content are you willing to create (fic, art, aesthetic, etc.)
Requested Content: what should the gifter focus on for you (specific single or multiple identity/character/pairing/headcanon/situation/relationship/ location - or you can just include some prompt/s)? If you’re being very specific, try to provide options for inspiration. Try to provide at least some guidelines so your gifter has something to work with, though.
Is there anything you specifically do not want to see (specific character/pairing/headcanon/situation/relationship, no kissing, no mentions of sex, no death, no war mentions, etc. - be as specific or general as you want so you can enjoy your gift)?
Remember, content must be aro/ace and HP-related.
Requested Medium (OPTIONAL): You can request a certain creative medium/s (art, fic, aesthetic), but this will be considered a request only - you may get matched with someone who cannot do that medium as it will really depend on who enters
Refused Content: is there anything you are not willing to create or create for (so we don’t pair you with someone who requests content you can’t stand - see list under requested content for ideas)
House: you will get headcanon cup points for your content if you include your house
Please copy and paste this form to our submit box. Leave the bolding, but fill out the non-bolded stuff with your own answers.
