☛ What is KH Santa Surprise?
This event is a gift exchanging event where each participant will create a gift for a fellow participant and will also receive a gift from a participant. This gift can be anything like fanart, fanfiction, an edit, gifset, etc. But it can also be something like a plush toy or a hairpin you made, for example. There is no real rule about what the gift should be. The gift must, however, be KamiHaji related and fit one of the prompts of the receiver of the gift. The important thing is that none of the participants know from whom they will receive a gift. The gift creator’s identity will remain a secret, until the gift is revealed to the recipient. Only the moderator will know who the sender is of each gift. ☛ How does it work? ▪ During the sign-up period (October 1 - November 1) you can sign up as a participant, a pinch hitter* or both. When you sign up, you notify me that you want to participate. After that you will be send a participation form. In that form you will be asked about your likes and dislikes as a gift. You will also be asked to give four prompts. Your ‘Santa’ will use one of these prompts to create the gift. It’s important to be very specific about your likes and dislikes. For example, if you don’t like a specific pairing or anything AU. The more specific you are, the more your gift will match your wishes. You will also be asked if you would not mind nsfw work. If you say ‘yes’ then you must be aware that you can be asked to create something like that (because you can then be matched with a participant who has a nsfw request in their prompts), or that it is possible that you will receive nsfw work of any kind. You can give notice of your preferences, of what you would like to receive. Like fanart or fanfiction, for example. But please keep in mind that not each participant is equally skilled. Of course, I will try to match each participant carefully taking in their skills and preferences in regard. Also, as a mod I will need to know your skills. What you are able and willing to create. ▪ During the weekend of November 2 and November 3, I will match each participant and I will inform you about who your recipient will be. Then you will have about two months to create your gift. ▪ During the reveal period (December 22 until January 1) you are allowed to post your gift and make yourself known to your gift receiver. If you haven’t posted your gift after Christmas and I contact you, don’t sweat. The last day to post your gift is January 1 2018. I’m then merely checking if things are okay and if you are able to present your gift in time.
If your gift is something that you actually need to send, you may do so earlier, so your recipient will receive his or her gift on time. It is then expected of the recipient to post a photo of the gift received during the reveal period. * As a ’pinch hitter’ it is possible that you will be asked to come to aid to create one or more gifts for other participants. This will occur, for example, when a participant isn’t able to meet the deadline or by circumstances can no longer participate. Therefore you must be willing and able to create something within a short time limit for the participant who otherwise will receive no gift. I must take in account that there will be circumstances where a participant notifies me that they won’t be able to create. That is why pinch hitters are a real necessity! As a moderator I will automatically be a pinch hitter. But I can’t do this alone. If more than one participants forfeits, then I’ll need help!
▪ During the time period of November 4 till December 22, I will regulary check with each participant how things are going. When I do, please respond asap and please be honest. It’s important that I know if I need to call a pinch hitter for aid.
☛ Are there any specific rules concerning the gift? Some, yes. For fanfiction there is a 500 word minimum. Also, of course, all creations must be finished when presented!
NSFW work is also allowed. The same post rules apply for this as for any other event held by this blog. When you want to submit an nsfw creation, please read the rules concerning this first [x]
If you have any doubt about your creation being okay as a gift, please check with me.
