Secret Santa 2024: did we match? 💯 and beyond!
The FiveLila Community would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Secret Santas! Once again, you've managed to come up with thoughful and extraordinary gifts for our fellow members 💞
Thank you for raising to the call and feeding us with greatness!
As a reminder, this event was an idea from @little-moony and brought to life by your faithful organizing freak elf @monfivela.
Registration was open for just a week given the short notice until Christmas, and drew in 16 fantastic participants. A special thank you to @kingofok for proposing to be our pinch hitter, and to all of the content creators for your enthusiastic participation from start to finish (and beyond).

Despite having only a month during the busy year-end season, our Santas delivered! Thank you for investing your time and creativity to make this event a success. Even with open-ended requests like "any Fivela content," your thoughtful research and attention to detail ensured gifts that resonated personally with each recipient.
This year's offerings have surprised many a reader with the rating, ranging from G to E, with a majority of M (4/13) and E (5/13) content.
Did all of the Giftee ask for M or E-rated content?
Not at all.
While only 3 participants specifically asked for some "kinky", "spicy", or "smutty" content, 8 Santas rose to the occasion to offer M or E-rated stories.
Even matches that didn’t mention spice (3) surprised us with unexpected hot scenes between beloved characters.
And thus, we got 9 stories and 2 pieces of art rated M or E 😁
Did any one ask for Nancy and Jerome?
No one.
Though one request mentioned a Keeper's retreat setting, neither Nancy nor Jerome appeared on any wish list or offering. Yet their story emerged (to everyone's delight), proving once again that our Santas have a gift for pleasing everyone. Bless them—these alters shall live forever in our hearts.
Are our Santas wonderful gifters?
Absolutely.
Many stories were accompanied by collages, edits or fanart, even with some animation!
6 stories are multi-chaptered.
A special shout-out to Loyalty's author for their dedication (and tears, and sweat) to gift us a ~40k masterpiece for this event.
Thank you all for your incredible creativity, time, and passion. You’ve made this season unforgettable for the FiveLila Community!
Happy New Year everyone and if you read this, we do hope you'll participate in our next event!
