For my @cksecretsanta event, I was originally supposed to write a fic… but my laptop broke, and it took months to get inspired to write again (laptop still broken).

Apologies to @ohnoitsthebat for taking quite a while 😢 I hope this feels maybe just a teensy bit like the “home for the holidays” vibe that I was initially writing about ❤️‍🩹

Hi, I had a question. What is the minimum word count for fics for our recipients? Apologies if this was already answered, I may have missed it. Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for asking. The minimum word count for fanfic is approx. 500 words and there’s no maximum. There’s no min or max for fanart or fanvids

[cksecretsanta]

If you have any questions or things to discuss with our secret santa helpers please give us a username that matches up with how you signed up or come off of anon. We will do our best to assist however we can with your questions but if we don't know who sent questions related to their santas we don't know how to help/assist help since we don't know who you are. Also dear participants this is the time to turn your anons on to hear from your secret santas. If you're unable to turn anon on let us know (please also tell us who you are) and our secret santa helpers will go as go between.

[cksecretsanta]

All Secret Santa assignments have now been emailed to participants. If you did not receive one and you signed up to participate, please message us.

Our deadline to post your gifts will be announced soon.

[cksecretsanta]

Assignments in progress

Thank you everyone who submitted their letters to Santa, our helpers are currently working on assignments. You'll be reached out in the near future with your assignee.

[cksecretsanta]

To everyone sending your wishlists into the mail (re: your message via the blog's inbox) - please make sure your letters aren't being addressed via anon, or without an email and username. Santa's helpers, great as they are, aren't very good mind readers and cannot tell who you are on by request alone - unfortunately, only Santa's got the magic for that!

Thank you all, and we look forward to receiving more letters!

[cksecretsanta]

soooo signups are just here through the askbox this year?

Yes, anon — signups are through the askbox this year!

Dear Santa- Cobra Kai Secret Santa Sign up 2025

Welcome to the annual Cobra Kai Secret Santa! We're doing something a little differently this year. This year you're going to write your letter to Santa (aka this blog). The signup deadline is November 24th. Expect to hear back from one of Santa's helpers with your giftee sometime after this date. To participate, read the questions below carefully, and be as specific as possible in your answers so our holiday elves can get to work matching you up with the right Santa, and selecting the right giftee for you too.

Message this tumblr with your responses to sign up. You can send multiple messages if your answers don't fit into one. Do not do this anonymously. It will be best to also allow anon messages so your Secret Santa can reach out if they need details from you or have questions. Please feel free to reach out to us here at @cksecretsanta with any questions you might have and for updates and schedule information.

What to send us — what to tell Santa: 1. Age: Let us know if you're under 18 or 18+ All ages are allowed to participate, but this helps us with matching up giftees with the gifters. 2. Your email — this will also be shared with the Secret Santa giving your gift, so please make sure it is one you are comfortable sharing.

3. What type of “The Karate Kid” or “Cobra Kai” things are you interested in receiving? Ships? Dynamics? Specific characters? Tropes? What would make your holiday season? Do you particularly want art, fic, or something else? 4. What are your “no thank you”s for the gift you will receive? Any ships that you don't want included? Any type of content you don't like? Any tropes that you don't want? What is not your cup of tea? 5. Indicate what you can make for your gift recipient (if other, please elaborate) such as fanfiction, art, other, etc.

6. What ships/tropes are you okay with creating for? If you’re 18+, are you up for writing NSFW? What is a no-go for creating?  7. Can you volunteer to pitch in to make a gift if someone drops out last minute?

8. Anything else you think we should know?
