Ninjago Oc Secret Summer 2026
It's basically a Secret Santa (a secret gift giving event) but in the Summertime/Not-December instead!
For this event, you'll be secretly assigned to either draw or write someone's oc as a gift. And someone else will be assigned to make a gift of your oc for you!
It’s very important that your giftee doesn't know you are making them a gift and vice versa, that you don’t know who is making you a gift!
Absolutely no N/S/F/W or Suggestive content is permitted for prompts, gifts, or references. This is /not/ an 18+ event.
Blood and Injuries may be permitted at the giftee's decision.
No direct contact with the person you’re making a gift for; you can communicate through me or ask through anon on tumblr if you can.
No AI art/writing, Gacha edits, face claims, picrews, or bases will be permitted for oc reference submissions or gifts.
Oc x Canon and Oc x Oc ships are 100% allowed.
Fankids, sonas, and self inserts are also allowed; my only rule is that fankids of Lloyd x Canon ships are not permitted.
Respect requests regarding holiday or seasonal preferences when making a gift. Don’t depict an oc participating in a holiday or seasonal activity that the creator asked not be depicted.
You must draw or write the character(s) you were assigned and they must be visible in the art OR the focus of the writing (feel free to ask for clarification)
How many ocs can be submitted total?
At least one oc is required, but up to three can be submitted ^^
What will I need for sign ups?
Refs or art that show a clear, colored depiction of your oc.
OR at least one piece of writing for said oc (does not need to be a whole fic. Could easily just be a quick blurb showing how they’re written as a character)
Basic Information/Fun Facts about your character. This can be background information, relationships, likes/dislikes, age and height, personality, etc.
Suggestions or prompts for your gift giver. Stuff to help get their brain going.
Your blog name (not the name you go by online but the url name. Like @/Ninjago-Oc-Appreciation. Make sure it’s a tumblr url, and not from any other social media)
What’s the general timeline for this event?
Sign ups will officially begin near the end of April, likely the third week.
Assignments will be sent out within the last week of April.
Posting will begin June 21st to June 28th, you will have until then to finish your gifts.
June 29th to July 5th is the designated late week.
In late April, I’ll post a sign up form where you can submit your oc(s)! There will be one for writing and one for art!
Please reach out to me in someway after signing up. This can be through messages, asks, comments, etc. While this year I am trying out a new form website to try and mitigate the risk of forms being eaten, I would still like to err on the side of caution. Informing me is the best way to make sure your form did in fact go through.
Much like the Secret Santa, the event title is merely a gimmick. It is not a theme or a restriction.
This year I'm trying out a new form website called Tally! The hope is that it'll be good enough to replace using Google Forms from here on out. Tally does not require an account OR an email to fill out a form, so if that's something that's prevented you from participating in this event previously, hopefully this will be the year you can sign up!
If you cannot use Tally for whatever reason, please contact me. I'd be happy to work something out.
We’ll be using #NOSS2026, #NinjagoOcSecretSummer2026 and #SecretNinja2026 as tags for this event!
That’s all! If you have any questions feel free to let me know, I tried to cover everything but I may have missed something
