🌺 I should be traveling to my winter campground Oct 1st through Oct 15th but I may leave earlier. (last year, this campground released a bunch of us workcampers early) I haven't had a chance to put solar on my rig yet, so keeping my phone and tablet charged may be.. interesting🤪
🌺 @xiaokuer-schmetterling is hosting watching parties on Sundays, 9am eastern through September. Discord link Sadly, I won't be able to do watch parties after September, because Sundays are super busy at my winter campground. I love y'all, but I also loooove food and ice cream😋
🎄Secret Santa will open Oct 1st and close Oct 20th! We will be following the same format as last year, if you want to check things out!
🌺People want to do something for H50's anniversary, but a lot of mutuals are also super busy so - we will do a Tumblr tag game that week! I will post on Monday and then y'all can join in as you have time!
🌺We have had several requests for episode discussions, so we will be doing those on Friday. First one will be the stake out episode - aka Mr Pickles and the (very expensive) Guitar of Love😂😂😂
How to participate in Hawai’i Five 0’s Secret Santa!
->Send a private message to @goneahead with six things:
🎄1. Your tumblr name
🎄2. Your A03 name
🎄3. Your email address
🎄4. Tell us if you are willing to pinch hit for a second giftee (in case somebody cannot make a gift for their Secret Santa)
🎄 5. A wish list of 4 things you would like to receive!
What kind of things should you include? Well—do you love whump? Want domestic fluff art? Love gif posts with lyrics? Do you like certain AUs, like merman or sentinel? Want some McDanno artwork? Would you love to see ace McDanno fic? Or maybe you love enemies to friends stories? Your Secret Santa will choose one of these four things as your gift—so be specific!
🎄6. A list of what you'd love to give!
It helps if you give several alternatives of things you like to write or draw. Maybe you love writing AUs or whump. Or you don’t feel comfortable writing/drawing explicit porn. Or you love to make gifs, but you don’t write fic. The more we know, the better we can match you up with your giftee!
->The proverbial fine print:
-All fic gifts should be at least 500 words.
-Art gifts should be colored.
-Gif gifts should include at least four gifs.
Schedule!
🎁Secret Santa opens Oct. 1st, closes Oct. 18th. Secret Santas will be assigned Oct. 20th.
🎁You will get a wish list of four things your giftee would like. Choose one of those as your gift.
🎁 @goneahead be checking in with you: Nov 1, Nov 15, Nov 30
🎁Gifts should be posted on both Tumblr (a link to A03 is fine) and A03 between Dec. 15th and Dec. 21st.
->More fine print!
We will try to match people up the best we can, but if you look at your giftee’s list and it’s just not gonna work, please let @goneahead know! That happens with gift exchanges—and it’s totally OK to ask for a different giftee. That’s why we have pinch hitters!
Sometimes real life happens and you just can’t make a gift. Again, that’s OK! H50 is a low-pressure fandom, and we know how things can suddenly goes pear-shaped. Just let @goneahead know as soon as possible, so we can give one of the pinch hitters plenty of time to make a gift for your Secret Santa giftee!
