Update: All Secret Santas have been sent out!

Hi all!

Officially, all secret santas have been sent out through Tumblr Messaging/in some cases, Askbox! However, if you haven’t received yours, please message us or send us an ask!

Several reminders:

Please keep your askbox and anon on for your SS if possible, and also keep checking your askbox for any messages your SS may be sending you!

To reiterate, the day for posting has been pushed to December 31st. Posting can take place any time between December 25 and 31st.

We’re truly grateful and thank you so much for your patience! Happy Secret Santa-ing!

Posting

Yes, you may still post on Christmas if your gift is ready to go. Please don’t reveal yourself any earlier, but feel free to post at any point between December 25 - 31.

NOTICE

So some of you haven’t received your assignments yet. No worries, you’re still getting one, and you weren’t forgotten in the process. We had a delay on our end with some of the messaging, but you can expect them tonight or tomorrow morning. We apologize profusely for the worry and the wait! We’ll make a post to announce when all of the assignments have been sent. 

As a result of this unexpected delay and general inconvenience, the date for posting will be pushed back to December 31. 

Again, we don’t have a specific timezone deadline. We only ask that you please post it before the year is out. Hopefully this extra time is enough to compensate for the delay and those of you that are receiving notice a bit late won’t feel rushed.

The ask box will be tackled once all the assignments have been properly finished.  Thank you for your understanding, and we’re very sorry to have worried anyone!

Thanks for signing up!

We’re still working out the sorting, but you should get your assignments in the next few days. If you don’t receive an assignment by Saturday December 3, contact us immediately. 

Thanks for such a great turnout everyone!

I am okay with doing an art piece OR writing a ficlet. What should I put when filling out the application form? There is no option for both.

Oh dang thanks for pointing this out! The third option has been added to the form now. Really that’s just between you and your recipient since we eliminated gift preference this year, and you can arrange that with them through anon asks.

Hello!! I'm a bit confused about the matching system-- is it going to be exclusively artists paired with writers, or will there be artist/artist and writer/writer pairs too?

Hi there! Artists and writers are all mixed up together so all 3 combinations of artist/writer, writer/writer, and artist/artist are possibilities.

Kingdom Hearts Secret Santa

It’s that time of year again! I hope everyone’s excited for the holiday season because it’s time for another wonderful KH Secret Santa!

If you’re interested in participating, PLEASE read the rules and fill out a quick Google form at the end so that you can be sorted and your secret santa can get some ideas.

After signing up, you should see your name up on the participants list on the blog. Give us a few days to put you on the list, but if you don’t see your name up, please contact us.

GIFTS: Art - fully lined, colored, finished pieces OR Fics - at least 1,000 words Put lots of effort into your gifts! Your skill level doesn’t matter as long as you do your best!

DATES: November 26 is the last day that we will accept sign ups. December 1 everyone should receive the person they are assigned to along with their responses to the initial sign up sheet. December 25 all gifts should be posted on Christmas and Secret Santas revealed. 

OTHER:

Please do not post your gift or reveal yourself until Christmas! If you will not be around at that time, make sure you have everything done beforehand and your gift as a scheduled post.

Keep your ask box open and ENABLE ANON! Everyone will be required to contact their recipient at least a couple times throughout the month. You can talk to them about KH or just wish them a happy day. If you’re not comfortable having anon on, please let us know so that we can warn your Santa.

This is a commitment. If at any time you find that you can’t participate and need to drop out, please let the mods know IMMEDIATELY. Nobody wants to be a part of this only to have their Santa not come through. Please keep in mind that December can be a very busy time with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, final exams, etc..

FOLLOW THIS BLOG PLEASE! We will for the most part just post the occasional update or clarifying question. Check back a few times throughout the event as well if you can.

Respond to asks from this blog privately. If you publish asks from us, we will not be alerted.

We will be asking for people who would be willing to produce a second gift on short notice for people whose Santas don’t come through in the last week of the year. If you are Absolutely Positive that you could not only complete your gift but a second one for those who don’t receive anything, we would appreciate your help immensely.

Thanks for reading all the way through this! If you have any other questions, please check the FAQ and then feel free to send us an ask. Here’s a link to the sign up form! If you’re curious to how our sorting method works, you can view last year’s explanation here.
