I never thought that there would be that much interest in this event, so THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!!! But now I start to get ambitious and I would love to find a few more shipmates who want to participate, so please, please continue reblogging and inviting your friends, mutuals, and followers. The more the merrier!
If you or anyone have any questions, ideas, concerns or advice, please, don’t hesitate and contact me. My askbox is always open (anon and off-anon) and, as a lot of you already know, I love to talk via chat and I don’t bite so pm me and we can talk about whatever is on your mind.
If you are interested, send me an off-anon ask so I can add you to the list of participants which can be found here.
what’s this all about?
For those of you who haven’t been part of any secret gift exchange events like the CS Secret Santa (or CS Secret Valentine, Spring Formal, etc.) before and are wondering what’s that all about, here is your answer!
After you sign up you’ll get assigned to someone and you send this person nice anonymous messages to get to know this person better. Then on Christmas Eve, you give them a gift by posting it on your blog and tagging your giftee (the person you are assigned to) and this blog. It’s a wonderful way of making new friends, especially now with the fandom barely being alive anymore.
what kind of gift can it be?
Your gift can be anything you want and be capable of. Here are a few suggestions but you can also come up with something yourself.
- fanfiction
- fanart
- icons
- imageset
- gifset
- manip
- traditional or digital art
- video
- fic rec list
- poem
- playlist
- self recorded song
- etc
There are endless possibilities – get creative!
Get to know your giftee, talk to her and find out what she would like to get and think about what you are able to gift. There are no bad presents.
are there any rules?
Unfortunately this event - like any other - won’t work without guidelines. Please read the ones below and if you are comfortable with them, don’t hesitate and sign up.

if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate in contacting me (don’t forget to come off-anon so I know who you are and how I can help)

I tested positive for COVID-19. I’m scared. I am isolated right now with nothing to do except look at my phone. So I am making some requests. I am a huge fan of Harringrove and I love bottom Steve and protective billy and I enjoy hurt Steve and did I mention protective billy? I really just want some hurt comfort and some love and protection. And I just don’t really want to be scared anymore.
