Ghostly Gifts

In the Spirit of the Season!

[msaholidayspirits]

how are things looking this year? not to pressure you!!

Unfortunately, I don't think I can run the exchange anymore, as sad as it is to say. I will definitely miss it! But if anyone else would like to set one up and wants a signal boost, I'll be happy to share! I just don't have it in me to do so anymore as of now. I apologize!

[msaholidayspirits]

Howdy all. Someone sent me a message asking about the exchange this year, but it won't let me respond to them unfortunately. So I figured I'd make a public post! I don't think I have the physical or mental health to host the gift exchange this year unfortunately. At least this year this blog won't be active. Sorry, and thank you for understanding!

MSA Holiday Spirits

A Gift Exchange for the Mystery Skulls Animated fandom!

Welcome to the 7th Annual Holiday Spirits! Gift givers will be semi-randomly assigned to others, and gifts will be exchanged on Christmas day. Gifts can be big or small! The most important thing is to have fun!

How to join:

Submit a completed google form from the link below, before the deadline! The participant form is below the rules on this post!

Submissions will close after October 31st.

Assignments will be given throughout the 1st to the 8th of November. If you haven’t received yours by the 12th, please send us a note! If this changes at all I will make a post!

Rules and link to the form below the cut!

Rules:

Gifts are due the 25th of December. Do not post them before then. If you wont be home that day, you can schedule it ahead of time so that it will post on Christmas day!

On the 25th post your gift and don’t forget to @tag your giftee! Also put it in the event tag, #MSAholidayspirits2023 so that I can see and reblog the wonderful gifts you all make! Feel free to also tag this blog.

This is a family friendly event, so no gore or NSFW is permitted. Do not use the event tag for art depicting that.

Please don’t reveal yourself to your giftee until the 25th. We want this to be a surprise! If you need any information, pass it to this blog and they can reach out to get your answer!

If you have to back out of the event, let us know ASAP so we can find a back-up! We don’t want anyone to be left out of the exchange. Also if your gift will be late, please let us know before the due date, so we can let your giftee know!

While I will be as understanding as possible, if you drop out and do not message this blog and I cannot get in contact after the deadline even after several tries, your name will be marked down, and I will be wary of you joining holiday spirits again. Life happens, but if you cannot participate, it is only fair to let others know and communicate. Dropping out wordlessly or not responding to my checking in not only affects you, but the person you were meant to make a gift for, and me, the person running this blog who would then have to scramble to get a new gift made!

If you’ve read the rules and accept the conditions of joining, then click the link below and fill out the form!

hey is holiday spirits happening this year? 👀

Yes! I will try to set up an application in the next few days, though the deadline to apply might be shorter this year, since pretty much all of the signups are in the first week or so anyways ^^

[msaholidayspirits]

Howdy all! All of the applicants have been sent their giftees a week and a half ago. It’s past the 20th, so I assume anyone partaking hasn’t had any issues with being missed. But! If you have received your giftee’s info and haven’t messaged me, please take a moment to do so as soon as possible, or check that it’s not in your inbox if you’re unsure! (And thank you to everyone who has so far!)

Out of all the applicants, I’m still missing six confirmations, and these are very important, so I know no one has dropped out or gone inactive at some point after their submission, and I can make sure no one goes without a gift! I understand for American users there is a national holiday this week so I will offer some leeway, but if I haven’t received contact by the 29th, I will send out individual messages to those missing as a reminder, with a deadline. So please let me know as soon as you can!

[msaholidayspirits]

Hey all! I should have everything put together and sent out within the next day! Everyones’ forms are compiled for assigning, but it may be tomorrow before anyone receives anything, as today I have a lot going on. I apologize for the delay, but thank you all for being so patient, and for all your kind words in your applications!

[msaholidayspirits]

I would just like to say that to those who added in the optional section a little extra comment being nice to me in their surveys and such, your support and kindness mean the world <3

If after the 25th you have not received your gift or heard from your gifter, send me a message. I will get in contact with them and if they can’t complete it, we will find a backup or make you something ourselves. No one is getting left out.

Participant form:

This form is what you will copy/paste into the submission box and fill out!

Url: The tumblr blog you want to use for the exchange. This is the one that the gift will be tagged with. Please pick ONE blog. DO NOT sign up multiple times with different blogs.

Other blogs(optional): Other blogs you think might help your gift giver get to know you. (MSA side-blogs or rps blogs for example)

Wishlist: Things that you would like to see in your gift like fave Ships/OTPs, AUs or maybe fan content for something you’ve already made. Fics or fanart for example. If you have a link to content you’ve created please put that here. Simple prompts like “fluff” work too.

Dislikes: Things you absolutely do not want to see on your gift. Notps, squicks and triggers or even something as simple a color you really hate.

Gift Skills: What are your skills/talents that you will most likely use to make your gift? It can be any media! Writing, drawing, music, vocals, anything you want!

Other(optional): Anything else you think we should know

Backup: If some other participants back out, would you be willing to help make backup gifts so that no one gets left out?

Gifting Nopes: If you would be unable to create a gift for someone else dealing with a certain element, then here is where you would state that. This will likely be the same as your dislikes, but if there’s some aspects people might not think of, they can go here. It could be something as small as a discomfort writing a specific character, or not wanting to draw an animal character, even if you don’t dislike them.

If you have any questions, or if we’ve forgotten something, please send a message! We want this to go as smooth and enjoyably as possible.

Thanks for reading and have fun!
