The summer sun has set and the haunting season is upon us - so let’s get this spooky soiree started!!! You are all invited to the second annual Tumblr Trick-or-Treat event: Jack-O-Treat*!!!
First of all, we’re going to try to keep this a PG-13 event!!!
Blogs can sign up to be ‘houses’ to give out treats … or tricks if that’s more their style! Treats/tricks can be photos of a handful of candy, pre-made/on-the-fly art, short literary pieces, poems, or whatever the ‘house’ wants to give out as long as it sticks with the basic PG-13 rule. Oh, and no jump-scares as tricks/treats please.
On Oct. 6th, I’ll publish a list of blogs trick-or-treaters can visit, and the event officially starts! Trick-or-treaters don’t have to notify me that they’re participating - just bring your spooky self and send an ask/message/submit-a-post/tag saying ‘trick or treat’ to a ‘house’ blog.
Since many of you have midterms and/or busy lives this time of year, houses have until the clock chimes at midnight on Nov. 1st (Hawaiian-Aleutian time) to give out treats to any trick-or-treaters who visit on/after Oct. 6th. [Though of course, no fowl if it takes you a little longer to hand out your goodies.]
Individual blogs can choose to accept this rule or not, but we will set the evening of Oct. 26th (Saturday) as the deadline for trick-or-treaters to send their asks. That way blogs can hopefully catch up before the big night if they need to!
OK, I gotta lay down some basic rules:
Don’t be a jerk. If someone is being flat-out rude, please tell me and I’ll look into it.
All fandom/non-fandom blogs are welcome to join in!
You don’t need a muse to participate.
’House’ blogs can also trick-or-treat.
Trick-or-treaters can visit as many ‘house’ blogs as they want - no shade if you just want to visit one or two particular blogs or the whole neighborhood. Please only visit any ‘house’ blog once unless they say they’re alright with repeat visits.
NSFW/18+ blogs are welcome to join as long as they let me know so I can put a notation on the participant list. Still gotta keep the tricks/treats PG-13 though - this is pretty much for both our sakes.
So if you want to run a ‘house’ blog, let me know through an ask/message and I’ll get back to you to confirm your spot! I’ll post a list of the houses on Oct. 6th, but if you decide you want to join in after that and hand out treats, just contact me and I’ll make updated lists of houses as we go along. If you need to exit the event, let me know and I’ll post that you’re ‘out of candy.’ Hey, life happens - we get it!
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me - chances are good that you’re not the only one wondering!
Spread a little Halloween-y mischief if you want, be good to each other, and of course, have a frightfully fun time!!!
*The new name is courtesy of @nbspringboi and @alldayeveryday-candycandycandy - there may have been a third person to credit but I’m having a heck of a time finding the original conversation. ‘Jack-O-Ween’ certainly rolls off the tongue better than ‘(Nearly) Neverending Night of Trick-or-Treating,’ so thank you!!! ;)
