User blog:Jade-the-Tiger/Christmas in July Secret Santa Exchange

Greetings, wikians! A very happy June to you all! With school coming to an end for the majority of us, we’re very excited to bring a summer activity and certainly hope you all join up!

Now, I hope I’m not the only one who’s heard of Christmas in July. I know I always end up watching the Christmas movies that they play for a couple weeks on TV in the middle of the summer. Since it’s so far away from actual Christmas, and since most of us will be out of school, we were thinking it might be fun to do a Summer-time Secret Santa!

Of course, it’ll work just like your regular Christmas in December sort of secret Santa: folks sign up and get paired up secretly, and then you make a gift for each other!

SIGNING UP
Comment below on this journal to let us know that you would like to participate in the exchange. When you comment, please provide us with a private form of contact so we can secretly tell you for whom you will be making a gift! (It can be through email, pinterest, discord, etc.)

GIFTS
Because gifts have to be given on the wiki over the internet, this limits gifts to being either artwork or a written piece.

For artwork: the gift must include at least one fully coloured drawing. Of course, if you want to make more than one piece of artwork, go for it! If you make more than one, the others would not necessarily have to be fully coloured. Please, no bases or tracing. Just put in your very best effort!

For writing: Try to make your stories at least a thousand words long, if possible. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words! Try to make sure that your final piece is edited for grammar and spelling! A polished piece is always a treasure to read.
