OFFICIAL SIGN-UP POST: Thneedmas Exchange 2025!
Read fully before liking/reblogging!
This event is being run by @miru667
AS A HEADS UP, WE’RE LOOKING FOR MAKEUP GIFT VOLUNTEERS THIS YEAR!
Makeup gift volunteers fill in when a participant is unable to get a gift from their assigned partner; these things happen sometimes! If you’d like to volunteer for this role, please message @miru667. Thanks again!
This blog itself is meant to organize the Lorax fandom’s various “Secret Santa” styled events, and to share the works created by our participants once each exchange has ended. Participants do not have to follow, but if you’d like to keep tabs, feel free to follow our tag: #unitetheloraxfandom
1) To sign up you must LIKE AND REBLOG the official post for the current exchange. That would be this one! We will message people once they’ve been added to the participants list, so look out for that!
2) We will be contacting you via Tumblr Direct Messaging (DM) to first confirm your participation, and then later to send you the name of your buddy. But if you don't have DMs on, we will be sending it to your tumblr inbox. Make sure you have your inbox open please! You don’t need to have anon on. If we can’t contact you, you will be taken OFF of the list without warning.
3) If you change your username after signing up, you MUST tell us. If you will be unavailable to answer DMs for more than 3 days, PLEASE tell us as well, or else you might get kicked out of the event.
4) Sign-up starts TODAY (November 30th) and will be CLOSED on December 6th 23:59 EST. You MUST reply to our DM to confirm your participation by December 7th, 6:00am EST, or else you will be removed from the participants list. Therefore it's advised that you please DM @miru667 yourself if you are joining last minute, to ensure your spot.
5) On December 7th, you will be messaged the name of your secret buddy. They must be unaware that you are their Thneedmas Exchange partner until you post their gift. The period of posting will be December 23rd - January 5th.
6) There will be no room for late sign-ups. If you sign up after the cutoff date, your url will be put on a waiting list, but there are no guarantees.
7) Gifts can be fanart, fanfiction, fan video, etc. If you have any other ideas for your gift, feel free to get creative. Also, please try to keep them related to The Lorax, unless you know your buddy would appreciate something non-Lorax related more (like if they have an OC, for example). If your gift is very obviously low-effort/insincere/trolling/AI, you will be banned from future gift exchanges.
8) If you have had drama in the past with another tumblr user, please let us know ahead of time so we can make certain that neither of you are assigned to each other.
9) Buddies will be assigned by a secret santa generator, so you will be buddied up randomly. If you don’t receive a buddy after the sign-up period is over, then MESSAGE US IMMEDIATELY! DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE EXCHANGE OR THE LAST DAY OF THE EXCHANGE OR 2 DAYS AFTER THE EXCHANGE.
10) If you have not received your gift in time, you may make a request for a makeup one created by one of the mods or makeup gift volunteers; this offer is only valid if you’ve come through with your own partner’s gift, it’s only fair.
